A 28-year-old man who brutally beat two elderly pro-life protesters will face no jail time after a judge claimed that the video evidence could be "interpreted in more than one way." If that sounds familiar, it's the same excuse the Cincinnati Police Chief used to deflect from the brutal beating of a woman in late July.

Regardless, when you watch the video of this specific attack, there is no ambiguity. This was a vicious assault meant to cause serious bodily harm, and could arguably have risen to the level of attempted murder, though the prosecutors didn't go down that road.
In 2023, Richard Schaefer, 84, and Mark Crosby, 73, were standing outside the abortion mill when Patrick Brice charged and tackled one of the men to the ground, leaving him incapacitated. When the other man ran over to see what was happening, Brice punched him in the face, sending him to the ground, before punching him again. A kick to the head was the final act of violence before the attacker walked off.
A warning that the following surveillance video, while it's zoomed out, is still graphic and difficult to watch.
In the end, Brice was convicted of two counts of second-degree assault, and prosecutors requested a decade in prison. Judge Yvette Bryant of the Baltimore Circuit refused, though, instead giving the attacker no jail time, claiming that she had no proof he intended to cause bodily harm.
Completely justified outrage ensued after the news broke. There is simply no way to watch the video of the attack and come to the conclusion that Brice didn't mean to harm anyone.
America's justice system is broken, and in this case, the result can't be blamed on a left-wing prosecutor. A judge, who is supposed to be a neutral arbitrator, decided to give a violent assailant no jail time by arbitrarily deciding to ignore overwhelming video evidence. Brice is now back on the street, having suffered no real consequences. That simply incentivizes more attacks against pro-life and other right-leaning individuals. Judge Bryant should be ashamed of herself, but that would assume she can feel such emotions.
I hope the victims sue Brice into oblivion, though he probably doesn't have much money to offer. Either way, they need to ruin him and ensure his wages are garnished from now until his death.
