In his sentencing memo Thursday, U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney made it clear why he was letting Tyler Laube off lightly.

It wasn’t just because of what Laube did or didn’t do – the defendant had already confessed to beating a journalist at a 2017 Southern California rally and pleaded guilty to violating riot laws as part of a white supremacist gang.

Laube deserved a light sentence, Carney said, because prosecutors should have focused on leftist groups.

In a 22-page memo, Carney repeatedly said prosecutors have “ignored” violence committed by Antifa and instead focused on targeting people like Laube – Trump supporters and members of the far right.

The federal judge’s strong words – and clear political bent – are as unusual as they are uninformed, legal experts told USA TODAY.

He’s really gone off the deep end,” said John Donohue, a professor at Stanford Law School.

    Yes. Medical science can bring people back from having their heart stopped.

    But if you could actually read for shit you would notice I said they were beaten to the edge of death then died of heart attacks.

    Good job pointdexter.

    Maybe this is the first time you’ve heard of a defibrillator?

    But it’s funny that’s the point you want to debate, why are you refusing to talk about your shift from “the cops let them in willingly” to “they only beat the cops to death”?

        Nice moving goalposts dipshit. We went from “the cops let them in” to “they only beat the cops to the edge of death and then they died of heart attacks.”

        Lmao, you literally can’t even understand what you quoted. Are you a native English speaker? Did you miss everything about the defibrillator? Don’t understand how a cardiac arrest can be triggered by excessive physical trauma?

        Still focusing on your shifted goalposts too.

        Refusing to defend your disproven point because you know it’s not a tenable position.

        So you just run like the coward you are.

        Can’t even address how beating cops is not a sign of cops helping you get through the doors.
