On Sunday, The Western Journal<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

Attorneys for individuals facing charges for their alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion say their clients are being kept in solitary confinement and subjected to third-world conditions while detained ahead of trial.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lawyers John Pierce and Steven Metcalf II say that at least one of the people arrested on charges related to the events of that day is being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day and has inadequate access to clean water and legal counsel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The attorneys told the EpochTV program \u201cThe Nation Speaks<\/a>\u201d that these conditions are \u201cblatantly unconstitutional\u201d and \u201cviolate every single basic human right.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the nearly 500 people who have been arrested on charges relating to the Capitol incursion<\/a>, Pierce said there \u201care about 50, plus or minus, that are being detained, that have been in prison for months and will likely remain in prison for many more months until their day in court.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He explained that these accused individuals are being held under the pretense of the 1984 Bail Reform Act, which authorizes the pretrial detention of those deemed a flight risk or threat to the public.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…\u201cThe conditions in the D.C. jail in particular are getting to a point of not only being unconstitutional and violating every single basic human right, but they\u2019re getting to a point where people have to speak out, and they have to know about what\u2019s going on,\u201d Metcalf said, adding that prisoners are being instilled with a \u201clevel of fear.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are being retaliated against for various different reasons. \u2026 Anything that they do, or if anybody speaks up on their behalf, all of a sudden they get targeted even further and then get put into a dangerous, unsanitary condition,\u201d Metcalf said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that while those accused of participating in the Jan. 6 incursion have been doggedly pursued<\/a> by law enforcement and reportedly subjected to inhumane conditions in prison, those involved in the 2020 riots<\/a> have been handled with kid gloves and even glorified by the left.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The overwhelming majority of Americans denounced the actions of the rioters who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6. But the George Floyd \u201cprotests\u201d of last summer were widely supported and the violence and destruction defended by left-wing politicians \u2014 to the extent that now-Vice President Kamala Harris promoted<\/a> a fund to bail \u201cprotesters\u201d out of jail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Republican would no doubt be crucified were he to promote any legal efforts to free Jake Lang or protect his constitutional rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet can you even imagine the outrage if a single one of the Black Lives Matter<\/a> or antifa<\/a> contingent was kept in the same conditions as the Jan. 6 \u201cinsurrectionists\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hypocrisy is sickening. It seems we can no longer expect the equal legal treatment of people on either end of the political spectrum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is frightening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
