A teenager accused of firing over two dozen rounds at a car in Washington D.C. was bailed by a self-described “woke” judge and progressive activist.
Lloyd U. Nolan, Jr., a magistrate judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, ordered the release of the teenager who had been accused of firing an AR-15 towards a car carrying four people.
Nolan’s Facebook account, which has since been set to private, featured examples of progressive activism, a pro-Black Lives Matter post and another boasting about being “woke”. Furthermore, the judge also shared a donation page to Gideon’s Promise, which is linked to progressive donor George Soros.
Defendant Amonte Moody was released from custody into house arrest despite prosecutors claiming that he had fire 26 rounds into a car driving on a public street in the Capitol. They have requested an emergency hearing for Wednesday, May 22, given the “egregiousness of this conduct” and the strength of the case, which includes video evidence.
Reaction on social media was largely critical of the judge, with many calling for his dismissal.
Another called for a “serious and massive overhaul” of the nation’s justice systems.
Furthermore, others noted the hypocrisy of the situation.
