Hamas supporters get a pass. Jewish community members get charged.
During the UCLA Hamas riots, it was routine for the terrorist supporters to mace and assault Jewish community members and students. And for campus security to refuse to intervene, take down evidence or call the police.
The media covered up the situation.
And even those who were actually arrested after weeks of this are getting a pass.
The City Attorney’s Office received over 300 referrals from arrests made during the mass protests on the campuses of UCLA and USC in April and May, 2024, and declined to file criminal charges on most of the referrals.
Three others will be referred to informal prosecutorial proceedings.
2 out of over 300. Not 300 arrests, but 300 referrals from arrests. And even those arrests are only the tip of the iceberg.
But it gets better. The only two people charged are the Jewish targets of the pro-Hamas mobs.
The vast majority of pro-Hamas perpetrators have their cases dropped.
CAIR is cheering the move which should tell you everything.
Three, including a fellow named ‘Ali Abuamouneh’ are being routed to ‘diversion’ hearings. Only Edan On and Matthew Katz, Jewish community members who fought back against the Hamas mobs, are being charged.
“After careful consideration, we are filing criminal charges against two individuals and sending three others to City Attorney Hearings,” said Hydee Feldstein Soto, Los Angeles City Attorney. “I want to thank the attorneys in my Criminal Branch for their dedication to the rule of law and their commitment to objectively evaluating the evidence and referrals received on each of these matters.”
Giving nearly every pro-Hamas arrestee a pass and charging only Jewish community members demonstrates many things, systemic prejudice, a weaponized justice system and radicals protecting their own… the one thing it does not demonstrate is “objectivity” and “dedication to the rule of law”.
But leftists and Islamists led a campaign to intimidate Hydee Feldstein Soto and they got their way.
The Hamas riots at UCLA really call for a DOJ Civil Rights investigation into cases which have been handled every bit as abominably as anything under Jim Crow.
And Edan On and Matthew Katz should be getting pardons.

Appalling.

Despicable. Proves everything concerned citizens think about the bias colleges and police have in handing campus problems. A revolving door for pro-Hamas detained and even worse, charges against Jews who fought back against the Hamas crew. America is going down the wrong road and supporting the wrong people. This country should know by now that pro-palestinian people are on the wrong side of this conflict. The majority of Americans seem to know but the people who control our schools and universities do not.

Could it be that money from these foreign countries finds its way into campaign funding for our candidates?

Democrats. Always siding with the worst of the worst. That is as predictable as the sun rising in the east.
“Three others will be referred to informal prosecutorial proceedings.”
Why can’t democrats ever tell the truth? Three others will be referred to the nearest corner for a quick timeout.
Here is a good article on the democrat left. We are not dealing with adults here. In a nutshell, they are a collection of people who have a “batshit-crazy dedication” to “juvenile idealism”. A real drag on our Republic.

Surely this would fall under the category of “hate crime”, which means it is a Federal offense.
Might be time the FBI actually did their jobs and started arresting the offenders.

This is why there is the S.185 – Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025. STILL not passed into law. Link –
