(New York Post) A “woke” Washington, DC, judge is facing backlash after he opted to cut loose an 18-year-old accused of firing more than two dozen rounds from an AR-15 into a car full of people.
Lloyd U. Nolan Jr., a judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, last week ordered Amonte Moody to be released on house arrest ahead of his trial — despite acknowledging that the teen’s alleged actions could have killed someone.
Moody, who was slapped with charges including assault with a dangerous weapon, had allegedly sprayed 26 shots at an SUV carrying four people on Independence Avenue in the early hours of April 22.
Nolan’s decision to still grant the teen pre-trial release in the face of his alleged crime quickly sparked outrage on social media, with many accusing the judge of being a George Soros “puppet” and pointing to his history of “woke” online posts.
The Facebook posts the judge had previously shared included a meme in 2019 declaring he was “still woke,” as well as another promoting Black Lives Matter, according to Fox News.
He also previously posted a link showing he’d donated to a Gideon’s Promise fundraiser in 2020 — a group founded via a fellowship from lefty donor George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
The judge’s social media account was switched to private as the backlash against his recent bail decision mounted.
“This judge is deeply tied to a George Soros organization and has openly posted about identifying as ‘woke’ on his now-private Facebook page,” one social media user griped.
“Soros-funded DAs and judges continue to allow violent criminals to be free on our streets. This isn’t by accident. It’s all part of a plan to cause chaos. Soros and his globalists thugs know they can control people who are in a state of disarray better than those at peace,” another tweeted.
One X user added: “They say AR15s are dangerous, but here the person wielding the AR15 and spraying more than two dozen rounds on a public street, is not dangerous. How can the AR15 be dangerous if the person using it is not a danger to public? Liberal logic.”
