A pro-Hamas mob recently attacked the White House, causing extensive damage to property and monuments. However, the DC Police Department has chosen to classify these actions as “First Amendment activity” and has reported no major incidents.
The mob, protesting President Biden’s support for Israel, vandalized prominent monuments in Washington D.C., including the Andrew Jackson statue and the General Marquis de Lafayette Statue. They also attacked the White House gates and damaged police vehicles.

Conservatives are outraged by the DC Police Department’s response to this incident, believing it downplays the seriousness of the mob’s actions. Only one rioter was arrested, further fueling conservative discontent.
The mob’s actions were violent and destructive. They attempted to raise the Palestinian flag over the White House fence and aggressively confronted Secret Service agents. Despite this, the authorities seem to dismiss these actions.

Conservatives are pointing out the stark contrast between the treatment of the pro-Hamas mob and the individuals involved in the January 6th incident. Many January 6th participants are serving prison time, including those who did not commit acts of violence. This includes Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio, who received a 22-year sentence despite not being present in DC on January 6th.
The DC Police Department defends its handling of the situation, stating that they deal with numerous protests and demonstrations each year. They claim to support peaceful and safe exercise of First Amendment rights. However, there are concerns about whether the actions of the pro-Hamas mob can be considered peaceful protest.
This incident raises questions about the fairness and impartiality of the justice system. Many Americans are frustrated with what they see as a two-tiered justice system, where punishment severity seems to depend on political affiliations.
The response of the DC Police Department highlights the need for a thorough review of how law enforcement agencies handle such situations. It is crucial that all acts of violence and vandalism are taken seriously, regardless of the political beliefs of those involved.
In conclusion, the recent pro-Hamas mob attack on the White House and the DC Police Department’s response have revealed deep divisions in our society. It is important to strive for a justice system that is fair and impartial, treating all citizens equally regardless of their political beliefs.
