A Washington DC judge has sparked backlash after releasing a teenager accused of spraying a sleepy neighborhood with bullets from an AR-15.
Judge Lloyd U. Nolan Jr., a self-described 'woke' magistrate judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, ruled that Amonte Moody, 18, be released on bail ahead of his trial.
The 18-year-old allegedly peppered a street with 26 rounds while targeting a car of four people at 2:30am on April 22, with Ring doorbell footage capturing a suspect shooting wildly from the hip with the assault rifle.
Nobody was injured or killed in the shooting spree, which unfolded just over a mile from the US Capitol. Despite the chaos he allegedly caused, Nolan granted Moody pre-trial release and home arrest.
After his decision raised eyebrows, Fox News reported that his online presence included a post where he said he was 'still woke', and another where he donated to a fundraiser supporting a George Soros-backed professor.
REMINDER: The Democrat Party agenda has led to a lawless society.
“Teen gunman who 'sprayed DC neighborhood with 26 rounds from an AR-15' is released on bail by self-confessed 'woke' judge
As someone who has never found himself in legal trouble it was a real surprise to me during my divorce trial. Personal bias of the judge, rather than objective based reasoning, was the order of the day. My lawyer had prepared me for it. I had no idea it was like that, where judges could advocate for their own personal political agendas. I read more and more about this type of thing now. Has it always been this way? I've really underestimated the roles judges play in society. That is a lot of power for one person. Do they just do their own thing until it gets so bad?

Guy has been a judge since 2010. Appointed by Cheif Judge Lee Satterfield who was appointed by Bush in 1992. The current Chief, Judge Josey-Herring, was appointed in 2020 by the Trump Administration.
It's all on autopilot. Brace yourselves.

Disbar the judge and send a serious message that any DA or judge that makes these radical decisions will lose their license.

But don't you dare walk around the capitol with a flag.
