Sickening: Bill Barr today. Politicizing antisemitism. Announced he’ll jail a woman w/ mental health issues now in treatment. Despite release in Brooklyn, charge her w/ a federal hate crime. All to inflict pain. Today, the victim called to stop exploiting what happened. He won’t.
Recall that William Barr made the call not to hold Eric Garner's killer accountable federally. Not to intervene. Claimed Eric Garner was not in a chokehold when he repeatedly gasped, "I can’t breathe." But a poor Black woman w/ mental illness, he’s all in: gothamist.com/news/bill-barr…
“The feds could take her as soon as her release from hospital & jail her. She will potentially be stable at that point. The worst thing you could do to somebody who's just been stabilized is to incarcerate them. Creates the exact problem these bail laws were designed to remedy.”
