If you’re going to demand that authorities show absolutely NO mercy in dealing with someone accused of a crime, you’d best be sure you aren’t committing any yourself.
Otherwise, that could boomerang on you in a pretty ugly way. The problem with demanding ‘justice’ is that real justice by definition punishes all wrongdoing. If you are on record as wanting the long arm of the law to crush lawbreakers, you’d best be sure you aren’t on the wrong side of the law.
The grievance culture whipped up by the 1619 project people isn’t helping matters any. (This is why we launched our own “1776 > 1619” line of merch at the ClashDaily store.)
And that’s what makes this story so ironic.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
So Uncle Chris is a big advocate of those old-school hanging judges throwing the book at criminals is he? Do you suppose Chris will be seeking any plea deals for the charges he’s now facing?
He was wanted for a string of larcenies in Manhattan when he was approached. After police caught up with him, Neely was found with several credit and debit cards baring other people’s names, including at least one that was reportedly stolen during a prior pickpocket. He was also carrying a gravity knife, sources said.
[…]
Police charged Neely with criminal possession of stolen property, resisting arrest, bail jumping and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was initially taken to the 14th police precinct.

Just one day earlier, Christopher had spoken out about the now-infamous death of Jordan Neely, the man facing charges for using a submission hold on a man menacing subway riders.
Why did Chris say that the D.A. should play hardball and not offer Mr. Penny any plea deal? He gave a reason:
‘He needs to be prosecuted or he will do it again,’ Christopher told The New York Post.
‘It’s a smack in the face for Jordan’s family and the people of New York,’ he said.
[…]
‘I want this to go to trial,’ Christopher said. ‘He has too much confidence in himself and has to be taught what he did was wrong.’ — DailyMail
So, Chris has an extensive criminal record, does he?
According to his own logic, perhaps he has ‘too much confidence in himself’ and needs to be ‘taught what he did was wrong’. Chris ought not be given a plea deal. He said the risk of someone else being a repeat offender was reason to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
If Christ thinks that standard is good enough for other people — while he himself routinely flouts the law — wouldn’t it fitting for the very same standard to be applied in the case where victims of Chris are calling for justice?
