Putting aside people’s safety, a liberal judge in Washington D.C. released a suspect arrested for spraying bullets in a neighborhood with an assault rifle, earning a backlash on social media. Unsurprisingly, it turns out the judge is a self-confessed woke activist.
Fox News reported on Sunday (May 12) that Lloyd U. Nolan, Jr., a magistrate judge on the D.C. Superior Court, is facing heat for releasing 18-year-old Amonte Moody who was arrested for shooting many rounds from an AR-15 at a car on a busy street in a D.C. neighborhood. The story cites case prosecutors summarizing the suspect’s actions as:
“The government presented evidence establishing probable cause that the defendant fired an AR-15 weapon approximately 26 times at a car driving away on a public street in the 1700 block of Independence Ave SE then dissembled the firearm and hid it away in a ceiling.”
The story points out that Judge Nolan’s social media posts are full of “progressive activism” as well as a financial link to liberal billionaire George Soros, who is considered one of the main antagonists against conservatives around the world. Explaining the financial link to Soros, the story cited a Facebook post showing that he donated to Gideon’s Promise, a liberal group arising out of a fellowship by the George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
The shooting incident was captured on video and shared on social media. On Rumble, a news video of the incident also included comments from a neighbor – an attorney Denise Krepp – who said the neighborhood is outraged at the judge’s decision to release Moody.
Popular conservative Twitter/X account End Wokeness posted the video clip of Moody’s shooting along with a screenshot of Judge Nolan’s donation to Gideon’s Promise, which was made in November of 2020, noting that the judge has now set his Facebook profile to private.
A conservative from Rhode Island who goes by Nick “Big Dog” posted that Judge Lloyd Nolan needs to be suspended and investigated immediately
Yet another conservative account – “Joe Has Dementia” – posted pictures of Judge Nolan and Moody and literally calling them the same except for some minor difference in what they are wearing.
The backlash against Judge Nolan continues on social media and his release of the accused shooter ahead of trial adds to the common knowledge about liberals – campaigning against guns but friendly to criminals who use them to bring harm to communities.
