Last Monday, Anthony Dwayne McRae started shooting on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, murdering three students and wounding five others. The fact that McRae, who killed himself as police approached him, was black is the inconvenient detail that prevents Old Joe Biden and his henchmen from touting this shooting as evidence of the “white supremacy” they have repeatedly claimed is the biggest terror threat the nation faces, but which we rarely see. The reality is that McRae’s victims might be alive today were it not for a far-Left prosecutor who undoubtedly has the wholehearted support of Biden’s handlers, and who dismissed previous felony gun charges against McRae that would have barred him from owning a firearm.
McRae might have obtained a weapon illegally, but he wouldn’t have had remotely as easy a path to mass murder were it not for Ingham County Prosecutor Carol Siemon (a Democrat, of course), who encountered McRae in June 2019, when he was charged with unlawfully carrying a concealed pistol. Siemon’s office dismissed the felony gun charges against McRae, and instead, according to a Tuesday report in the Washington Free Beacon, let him “plead guilty to a lesser misdemeanor gun charge, and he served a little more than a year on probation, which ended May 2021.”
What’s more, the Detroit News reported Tuesday that “the initial charge” against McRae “was a felony that carried a potential penalty of five years in prison, according to the records.” That would have put McRae behind bars on the day that he ventured onto the Michigan State University campus and opened fire. Instead, Siemon’s office opted to be as lenient as possible with McRae. The News adds that “in October 2019, Ingham County prosecutors added a second charge against McRae: possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle, a misdemeanor.” However, “that same month, October 2019, McRae agreed to plead guilty to the lesser misdemeanor charge, and prosecutors dismissed the felony charge.”
Even before the plea bargain agreement was made, however, it was unlikely that McRae was going to do any serious prison time. Siemon, according to the Free Beacon, “made it her office’s official policy in August 2021 to drop mandatory prison sentences for felony firearms charges.” Why? Systemic racism, of course: “She said the sentencing enhancement led to ‘dramatic racial inequity’ and was ‘not in any way linked to the goal that we share of keeping the public safe.’” That last bit about keeping the public safe takes on a new piquancy in light of the casualty count at Michigan State last Monday.
In line with the policies Siemon put in place, the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office issued a statement saying that McRae would not have gotten “the legal maximum” sentence in 2019:
“Even if he were convicted by a jury of the original charge, Anthony McRae would not have been recommended for a jail or prison sentence. The sentencing guideline score would have been the same if he had been convicted of either the original charge (Carrying a Concealed Weapon) or the offense for which he was convicted (carrying a firearm in a vehicle).”
The Free Beacon notes that Siemon is “part of George Soros’s vast public safety network. She has participated in international criminal justice reform junkets with other ‘reform-minded’ prosecutors like Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner (D.), Chicago’s Kim Foxx (D.), and Los Angeles’s George Gascón. She also backed radical San Francisco prosecutor Chesa Boudin (D.) ahead of a recall campaign that eventually ousted him from office last year.” She has also, not surprisingly, “come under fire before for being soft on crime,” and has received “criticism from judges and law enforcement officials for her soft-on-crime policies.”
Siemon has, however, won accolades from the Vera Institute for Justice, which is funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundation. The Vera Institute praised Siemon and other far-Left prosecutors for reducing “racial inequities in the criminal legal system.” What that means in practice, as the case of Anthony McRae vividly illustrates, is releasing more criminals back onto the streets, where they can prey anew upon innocent citizens.
So what’s it all about? What is George Soros trying to do? The man himself shed some light on this question back in June 1993, when he told the UK’s Independent: “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.”
Soros does have apparently inexhaustible amounts of money with which to play god, as well as an unshakeable dedication to backing candidates and causes that have the effect of weakening America, and making it more squalid, poorer, and more dangerous than it was before he began showering Leftists with his largesse. If Soros is a god, or more precisely, if he thinks of himself as one, he is a malevolent god, a god of vengeance and destruction, visiting harm upon the United States of America for evils real or imagined, and imperiling its very continued existence as a free society in the process. Anthony McRae and Carol Siemon were just pawns in his game.
Soros is the very same Socialists/Globalists who wants to disarm all law abiding Americans him and his ilk his Open Borders group needs to be investigated and find out who he is financin
Both Soros and Gates need to be Investigated and find out who their financing
We know who finances them.
Soros has always financed himself. His billions give him that ability.
Gates is financed by people who buy Microsoft products, which might include Spurwing Plover (my apologies if you posted here using Linux)
PS, if you meant “who are they [Soros and Gates] financing” then that is all public record. Front Page has done a good job investigating that, including this article. Perhaps we just need a detailed and comprehensive online list so that articles like this cease to be “surprises”.
I guess the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office thinks everyone is stupid? I don’t know if McRae purchased the gun legally but he wouldn’t have been able to do so with a felony conviction. With only a misdemeanor on his record, no problem. Also, isn’t it amazing how quickly the story disappeared? No interviews with the families of the deceased or wounded survivors for days afterwards. No stories about McRae’s troubled history or speculation on why he did it. Gee, I guess the story just didn’t fit the narrative and had to be flushed down the memory hole asap..
Maybe some day one of the unjustly treated criminals who has been released from the criminal justice system will encounter Soros and render a touch of karma. Yeah, it’s highly unlikely, but if anyone deserves it Soros would be at the top of the list.
Is that the only offense on his rap sheet? Exercising his constitutional right to carry a weapon? Maybe he became embittered because of that? There was no way he deserved 5 year prison sentence for that. A fine should have been enough. Or is there a rap sheet we haven’t heard about? The law was unconstitutional to begin with. (no I’m not saying he was justified, but neither was the prison sentence.
He didn’t serve five years. He was carrying a concealed weapon without a permit which is a felony. He copped a plea which dropped it to a misdemeanor. You can’t own a gun with a felony. If they would of charged him with a felony he wouldn’t of had a legal gun. But doesn’t mean he wouldn’t of found an illegal gun.
How surprising you’re on the side of the criminal. Do you know what a felony is? Pathetic.
And you’re an ass. Nowhere in my explanation implies that I’m on the side of the criminal.
Hitler loved Soros. That’s why the DemoKKKrats love him too.
Mr Spencer if you reading this I have been blocked for opening any article on your Jihad watch website, it comes up every time as 4040 page.
It’s very possible Soros is enacting a Count of Monte cristo type of revenge on the world getting back at it for the nazi atrocities. Long term in nature, well thought out, by an level genius. His revenge is destroying the western world (which includes the U.S.), because of involvement in or complicity with the nazi’s or at a minimum the fact strong enough actions weren’t taken to prevent it. As well known, Soros was in nazi occupied Hungary and saved by being sent to live with his fathers non jewish friend and or associate. I’m surprised no one has concocted this thesis in the past. It gives pleasure to this purported god, to exact revenge, and to see evidence he can pull the strings/ play his evil game and see how his decisions impact the world . Just a real time slow video game for this evil actor, and unfortunately he’s piling up a lot of points in this video game, perhaps even winning.
