Rather than address the rampant violence sweeping the nation, federal prosecutors set their sights on Jean Marshall, 73, and Joan Bell, 74, who were convicted Friday over a quiet 2020 protest at a D.C. abortion clinic.
America is in the midst of an unprecedented crime wave. In the District alone, the murder rate is already up 29% over last year and the number of strong-arm robberies has soared by 67%. Rather than address the rampant violence, federal prosecutors set their sights on Jean Marshall, 73, and Joan Bell, 74, who were convicted Friday over a quiet 2020 protest at a D.C. abortion clinic.
At most, the incident should have been handled by local police under garden-variety trespassing statutes — just like the stunts left-wing environmental activists pull all the time. By contrast, the environmentalists inconvenienced thousands, making them miss important appointments or show up late for work. The museum vandals and freeway-blockers know they’ll be punished little, if at all. In February, a D.C. judge let off a 75-year-old activist who blocked I-395 with no jail time.
