Women Plead Guilty After Attacking Trump Supporters, Get a Slap on the Wrist as Prosecutors Back Down

Two Delaware women captured on video final August stealing a Make America Great Again hat and punching supporters of erstwhile President Donald Trump will only receive probation for their conduct.

The Delaware News Journal reported Wed that Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy, both of Wilmington, take pleaded guilty to "misdemeanor charges of theft, kid endangerment and hate crimes."

"Other charges including assault, attempted assault and conspiracy were dropped past prosecutors equally part of the plea deal struck Mon" the news outlet added.

Winslow and Amy were both 21 years sometime when the incident happened on Aug. 20, 2020, the night of President Joe Biden's speech in Wilmington accepting the Democratic presidential nomination.

Victims Riley and his mother, Abbey, were confronted by the two women as they waited to be seated at a restaurant, by Abbey's account.

"Nosotros were standing outside peacefully minding our own business waiting for our table," she wrote in a argument at the time.

"Suddenly, two Joe Biden supporters began to yell political epithets at my kid. They ripped the sign from my arms and assaulted my seven year old son. The Joe Biden supporters laid easily on my kid and ripped his 'Make America Not bad Once more' lid from his head while cursing at him and pushing him over."

"I was punched in the face up multiple times by Joe Biden supporters," Abbey wrote.

"My friend who joined me and attempted to defend u.s.a. was punched in the face up multiple times by the Joe Biden supporters. They beat me with their fists and purses.

"They stole my sons hat and threw my 7 yr onetime son'southward hat over the fence into a dirt filled construction site where nosotros could non retrieve information technology."

The video of the incident posted past Students for Trump, which went viral, shows Winslow and Amy tearing up paper signs and then taking a MAGA lid.

Riley chases after the women trying to go the hat, saying, "That's somebody else'due south chapeau." He so begins to cry.

I of the women turns to to him and says, "We don't requite a f***. Your mom … likes Trump."

A man later on arrives, demanding the hat back, but 1 of the women holding it instead shoves him and takes a swing at him. She ultimately throws the hat over a construction site fence.

The same adult female can later be seen striking Abbey multiple times.

Based on the sentence the attackers received, the pattern of Democrats and other leftists getting off lightly apparently continues.

Pol reported in April that several charged with federal felonies in connection with concluding summer'southward Portland riots were allowed to enter into "resolution agreements" only requiring community service.

"[P]rosecutors accept approved deals in at least half a dozen federal felony cases arising from clashes between protesters and law enforcement in Oregon last summer. The arrangements — known every bit deferred resolution agreements — will exit the defendants with a clean criminal record if they stay out of trouble for a period of time and consummate a modest amount of community service, according to defense attorneys and court records."

American Greatness writer Julie Kelly contrasted the leniency the so-called social justice protesters in Portland received (many of whom attacked federal officers and damaged federal property) with the harsh handling for those involved in the January. 6 incursion into the U.S. Capitol.

"I call up what the American people need to know is that the U.S. government, Joe Biden'south Justice Section, is belongings political prisoners in a jail in Washington, D.C., that has been opened up peculiarly to house January. 6 defendants awaiting trial. They've been denied bail. They're living in harsh, almost solitary confinement conditions in this jail," Kelly told Fox News host Mark Levin in June.

"They've arrested almost 500 people at present, more often than not for misdemeanor charges related to what happened on January. 6," Kelly added. "This is a political persecution confronting Trump supporters."

CBS News reported Wednesday that at least 557 defendants take now been charged in connection with the incursion.

A few have received probation afterwards pleading guilty to inbound the Capitol without authorization, but harsher sentences are being doled out, including jail fourth dimension.

Obviously any who engaged in violence confronting police officers or destroyed public property must pay for their crimes.

But the vast majority were just there to protest. Of the hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters in D.C. that day, but hundreds entered the Capitol and a much smaller subset of them engaged in violence.

Lady Justice must be blind to political affiliation. Right now information technology feels like she's not.

Winslow and Amy deserved more than probation for striking Trump supporters.

"Justice for all" means no free pass simply considering you are a Democrat.
