BAMN | Defend Yvette Felarca! Stop the Political Witch-Hunt!

4.5.18

BAMN | Defend Yvette Felarca! Stop the Political Witch-Hunt!: The cover-up began immediately with police interrogating and harrassing injured counter-protesters in their hospital beds while doing nothing to pursue charges against the Nazis who had stabbed them. The police released unsubstantiated public statements blaming anti-fascist protesters within twenty-four hours. Over a year later, only weeks before the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, Sacramento District Attorney (DA) Anne Marie Schubert charged and arrested three counter-protesters with unsubstantiated felony and misdemeanor charges.
The CHP and DA’s cover-up and collusion with the fascists in Sacramento sent a message to TWP leader Matthew Heimbach, the main organizer of the Sacramento demonstration as well as the central organizer and participant in the August 11-12, 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that he and his racist thugs could commit murder in broad daylight and get away with it. The police policy of allowing the fascists to get away with their attack at the State Capitol in 2016 set off a chain of events that began with the near-murders in Sacramento and ended with the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville.
