Jail ‘Intifada’ vandals, not pro-lifers for a fair justice system
The Biden administration’s two-tiered justice system struck again this week when it did nothing to punish pro-Hamas protestors who defaced a U.S. military cemetery.
The vandals were caught on camera spray-painting the walls of the Los Angeles National Cemetery memorial with anti-Israel rhetoric such as “Free Gaza” and “Intifada.”

The desecration of a memorial designed to honor U.S. military members is a federal crime. Under 18 U.S. Code § 1369, violators of this statute should be fined and could face up to 10 years in federal prison.
Blocking traffic on a major interstate, as pro-Palestine protestors did to Seattle’s I-5 last week and Los Angeles’ Westwood area in October, is also illegal and punishable under most state laws.

Yet none of the hundreds of people recorded breaking federal and state laws will face consequences because, under the current ruling class, only the administration’s political enemies get punished.
If federal prosecutors can split hairs in the unconstitutional Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act to sentence five pro-lifers to more than a decade of prison time for praying and protesting at an abortion facility, then they should have no problem sending people who used the resting places of World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and other veterans to advance their pro-terrorist political agenda to the clink. But they won’t.
Under the Biden administration, prosecutors are encouraged to weaponize their authority against Americans who think or say the wrong things.
The disparity in how deep-state bureaucrats treated Democrats’ political enemies started years ago. Only recently, however, did the majority of Americans wake up to the corruption responsible for unraveling the long-held American standard for blind justice.
It’s one thing to be an administration that brings the hammer down on all lawbreakers — it’s another to selectively punish in a blatantly partisan way. It’s clear which path the Department of Justice under President Joe Biden chose.
Prosecuting praying pro-lifers and a pastor for their presence outside of abortion facilities, investigating concerned parents as domestic terrorists for attending school board meetings, and questioning grandmas who never entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while arrests over the violent abortion mob’s threats against Republican-nominated Supreme Court justices were throttled aren’t just a bad look. They are the beginning of the end of equal application of the law.
If only one side upholds justice, the rule of law, and norms that have governed our nation for nearly 250 years, there is no such thing as true justice, rule of law, or norms. There’s just politics.
Why is the Biden administration seemingly turning a blind eye to the desecration of a memorial honoring U.S. military members, contradicting the penalties stated in 18 U.S. Code § 1369?
Express views contrary to the administration’s agenda. This selective enforcement of the law is a dangerous precedent that undermines the foundation of a fair and impartial justice system.
The recent incident at the Los Angeles National Cemetery, where pro-Hamas protestors defaced the memorial with anti-Israel slogans, is a clear example of this two-tiered justice system. These vandals, who were caught on camera committing a federal crime, will likely face no consequences for their actions. This is in stark contrast to the treatment of individuals who have been charged and sentenced under similar circumstances, but for opposing views.
The desecration of a memorial that honors U.S. military members is not only an act of vandalism but also a disrespect to the sacrifices made by these brave men and women. According to 18 U.S. Code § 1369, those found guilty of this offense should face fines and potential imprisonment of up to 10 years. However, it seems that the Biden administration is turning a blind eye to this crime, sending a message that defacing memorials is acceptable as long as it aligns with their preferred political agenda.
Furthermore, the blocking of major interstates, as seen in the pro-Palestine protests in Seattle and Los Angeles, is not only illegal but also dangerous. These actions disrupt the flow of traffic and endanger the lives of innocent civilians. Under most state laws, blocking traffic is punishable, yet it appears that those participating in these protests are immune to prosecution.
The double standard in enforcing the law is deeply troubling. If federal prosecutors can harshly punish pro-lifers exercising their First Amendment rights, then they should have no problem holding accountable those who deface the resting places of veterans. However, it seems that political affiliation and agenda play a significant role in whether justice is served.
An impartial justice system is the cornerstone of any democracy. It is crucial that law enforcement and prosecutors maintain this impartiality, regardless of political pressure or ideology. The American people deserve equal treatment under the law, and the Biden administration must ensure that this principle is upheld.
The selective enforcement of the law erodes public trust in the justice system and allows for a dangerous precedent to be set. If only certain groups or individuals are held accountable for their actions, while others are immune to consequences, it undermines the very fabric of our society.
It is time for the Biden administration to address this issue and restore confidence in the justice system. Prosecutors must be held to the highest standards of impartiality and judiciousness, ensuring that justice is blind and not swayed by political motivations. Anything less would be a betrayal of the American people and the principles upon which this nation was founded.
