In a move that’s got pro-2A folks shaking their heads, a federal magistrate in the so-called Confederate State of Minnesota just shut down a criminal complaint against washed-up CNN hack Don Lemon for allegedly inciting a riot at a church. Yeah, you read that right—Lemon, the guy who spent years screeching about threats to democracy from his cushy studio perch, shows up at a peaceful Minnesota church event, stirs up a mob that turns violent, and walks away scot-free because some robe-wearing bureaucrat won’t sign off on charges. The complaint stemmed from Lemon’s role in a chaotic protest where left-wing agitators disrupted a service, hurling insults and threats—classic Antifa playbook—but apparently, when it’s a celebrity darling of the regime, riot just means mostly peaceful protesting.
This isn’t just another slap on the wrist for elite hypocrisy; it’s a glaring double standard that reeks of two-tiered justice, and it hits the 2A community square in the chest. Imagine the tables turned: a pro-gun activist like me shows up at a leftist rally, calls out the hypocrisy on camera, and a flash mob of triggered snowflakes starts smashing windows and chanting slurs. Federal prosecutors would be lining up indictments faster than you can say insurrection, with the full weight of the FBI’s J6 task force crashing down. But Lemon? Crickets. This refusal to prosecute underscores how the left’s riotous tantrums—think BLM burnings or campus shout-downs—are normalized as free speech, while 2A defenders face SWAT raids for a bumper sticker. It’s the same judicial leniency that lets armed CHAZ warlords roam free but treats a dad at a school board meeting like public enemy number one.
The implications for gun owners are crystal clear: in a post-2020 world where Democrat DAs drop charges against looters but indict parents for intimidation, self-defense rights hang by a thread. If courts greenlight church-rioting celebrities today, tomorrow it’s excusing armed mobs at your range or rally. 2A patriots, take note—this is why we fight for equal justice under the law, not selective enforcement for the CNN crowd. Arm up, stay vigilant, and keep voting out these activist judges who think the Constitution applies only to their tribe.
