NOT Funny… Or Silly.

From WAPO:

Prosecutors Monday decided not to press charges against Princeton University professor and activist Cornel West and 18 others who were arrested Sunday for protesting at the Supreme Court.

The protesters were accused of breaking laws forbidding parades and displays on Court grounds, but the U.S. Attorney’s office decided not to charge them.

Why?

Oops: H/T Don Surber.

  1. No, actually, it has to do with mob mentality. Mobs of any stripe are very fickle. The authorities are trying really hard not to kick the hornet’s nest…lest they have to start disposing of attacking hornets.

  2. BUT if the mob KNOWS that they’ll be shown no mercy. They’ll be less likely to act the fool.

  3. #3 Doc: not necessarily. Every revolution requires martyrs. PN is spot on: any place can become a flash point and that’s what the mobsters want: lots of flash.
