Ann Coulter: Sarah Jeong Better Drive Carefully!
If you’re worried about the social media monopolies censoring speech, just be happy they can’t put you in prison.
Federal prosecutors are celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Charlottesville, Virginia, “Unite the Right” rally — isn’t this the “paper” anniversary? — by indicting James Fields for “hate.”
Fields has already been charged with murder in state court. (I would think that “hate” would be subsumed by a
murder charge.)
But the federal “hate crimes” statute allows the feds to skirt the Constitution’s ban on double jeopardy — at least for certain kinds of “hate.”
— The stabbing of Yankel Rosenbaum by assailants yelling “Get the Jew!”: NOT a federal hate crime.
— The brutal kidnapping and murder of a young white couple in Knoxville, Tennessee, by black youths: NOT a federal hate crime.
— The torture of a mentally disabled kid in Chicago, by assailants saying “F— white people!” and “F— Trump!”: NOT a federal hate crime. (Curiously, none of the attackers was Sarah Jeong.)
— A white man killing a white woman by driving into a crowd of left-wing protesters: THAT’S a federal hate crime.
To make their case, prosecutors did a deep dive into Fields’ social media postings to prove that, yes, while he might have killed a white woman in this
particular case, he’s still a racist.
