WASHINGTON— A judge on Friday awarded more than $1 million to a Black church in downtown Washington, D.C. that sued the far-right Proud Boys for tearing down and burning a Black Lives Matter banner during a 2020 protest. Superior Court Associated Judge Neal A. Kravitz also barred the extremist group and its leaders from coming near the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church or making threats or defamatory remarks against the church or its pastor “Our courage and determination to fight back in response to the 2020 attack on our church is a beacon of hope for our community and today’s ruling showed us what our collective vision and voice can achieve,”

I wonder what the Catholic churches will get from "Jane's Revenge" for all of the vandalism after the Dobbs decision? They, and the crisis pregnancy centers, should really make a mint.

How much will BLM have to cough up for the months of riots in 2020? That judge should have forced them to pay for the damage to St. John’s Church and a whole lot more.

Seems to me, If I remember correctly...Proud boys agreed to show up and have a street fight with Antifa/Blm members, at THEIR request. BLM/Antifa had been physically attacking other/older, 100% peaceful groups who had legally/legitimately pulled permits to hold marches and gatherings and Proud Boys started as a buffer group to defend them. They met, they rumbled, the lefties got whupped, then ran and hid in this church..."Sanctuary". It wasn't an "Attack" on the church in any way.

Kravitz... Kravitz. "Before joining the bench, Judge Kravitz worked for fifteen years as a civil rights lawyer, public defender, and Senate staffer. He held positions with the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, the New Hampshire Public Defender, and the Senate POW/MIA and Whitewater Committees. Judge Kravitz is a graduate of Yale College and Harvard Law School." So we know what his political positions are. Irish? Polish? Italian? Greek? I wonder what Yeshiva he attended.

Re #4, because it is a totalitarian thug "judge" in DC. I expect that upon appeal, this gets dumped. If not, it is a perfect case for the SCOTUS to take. Clearly free speech, or at worst, minor 'vandalism' charge, which they would be guilty of, it would seem, but that's more like $500 fine.

Burning your own flag is free speech. Burning anything owned by someone else is vandalism or arson. But this should have been a $500 fine or something for petty vandalism.

I don't think a judge has the authority to dole out penalties outside of legally established parameters. Cost of the flag - I can see that. Damages to harmed individuals (if there were any) I can see that. If in a civil trial by jury, where the plaintiffs have specified a reward and the jury agrees. But by a judge? Overreach.

How about the church donating that money to restore some of the damage BLM did to your city? Anyone supporting a terrorist organization should not receive a penny from the government. If Black Lives Matter so much where are the billions donated to the cause ? All that cash that flowed in did nothing for the average black community. Seems it was used to buy properties for the people running the organization, but I’ll give you this, it costs to destroy cities, businesses and government buildings. Remember all those pallets of bricks that were strategically positioned just where they were needed to be used as weapons. Those kinds of tools of anarchy must be pricey.

Good grief, why can't commenters read - it wasn't THEIR flag. They stole it and destroyed it. That is illegal, no matter what is stolen and destroyed. Yes, you can burn your OWN flag, no problem. Any flag. But not $1 million worth.

Late last week, Pritzker signed into law HB 3882 which makes illegal aliens in Illinois eligible for standard driver’s licenses that are compliant with the federal government’s REAL ID Act.Back in 2013, Breitbart News reported how Democrats in Illinois had passed a law that created the Temporary Visitor Driver’s License program which allowed illegal aliens to secure driver’s licenses with slight differences to the licenses given to American citizens and legal immigrants.

WASHINGTON— New Hampshire is in open rebellion. Georgia is all but out. South Carolina and Nevada are on board but face stiff Republican pushback. Michigan’s compliance may mean having to cut the state legislative session short, despite Democrats controlling both chambers and the governor’s mansion.

Months after the Democratic Party approved President Joe Biden’s plan to overhaul its primary order to better reflect a deeply diverse voter base, implementing the revamped order has proven anything but simple.

First, this point from Elle Purnell: Between April and June 2020, when IRS agents were preparing to execute interviews and search warrants, it was “career DOJ officials,” Shapley said, who “purposely slow-walk[ed] investigative actions.” She then points out: All of that happened under Trump and his attorney general, William Barr. That’s not to make the absurd suggestion that it happened at Trump or Barr’s direction. Rather, it shows how monstrous the triple-letter leviathan and its grip on our political process are. It is "absurd" to say that President Trump protected Biden. But is it so absurd to argue that Barr played a role in protecting the likely Democrat nominee? I don't think so.

Bud Light's sales have plummeted so much that a glass bottling company was forced to shut down two of its plants and lay off nearly 650 employees. The Ardagh Group, one of the largest glass producers in the world, announced last week it was shuttering its Wilson, North Carolina, and Simsboro, Louisiana, plants on July 17. The Wilson plant employed nearly 400 people, and the Simsboro plant had 245 — all of whom now find themselves without jobs. The company did not cite a reason for the closures in its statement, just saying it was part of a 'multi-year performance optimization program.'
