I always thought it was the DA that brought charges. What do they mean by won't press charges?
And by "fear of retaliation", I'm assuming that means fear of death threats (and worse than mere threats) from the likes of the party that thinks it is FUNNY that one of their own attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband, nearly killing him.
Conservatives are violent and sadistic by nature. There are some who are openly willing to fight them, but most people would rather avoid such dangerous confrontations. I don't blame her.
This enemy is best fought when they aren't sure who is hitting them. Smile. Blend in. Look friendly. Do what's needed when they least expect it and get away. Rinse, repeat. Attracting negative attention from these cockroaches is not worth the risk, no matter who you are. Guerilla tactics work well against loud, arrogant, unintelligent fascists.
And right wing sites everywhere are framing this as Trump clearly doing nothing wrong because nobody charged him. Disgusting.
Cool and normal.
