|    Pro-life activist sucker-punched during     |

      XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, alt.niggers, sac.politics       XPost: talk.politics.guns, alt.politics.conservative       From: hang-a-nigger@today.org              A conservative influencer who was slugged in the face by an unhinged       pro-abortion crusader has accused progressive Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg       of botching the case against her attacker, who won’t face charges after       leaving her battered and bloodied.              Savannah Craven Antao, a 23-year-old pro-life activist, was       sucker-punched by a woman while she was conducting man-on-the-street       interviews in Harlem in April.              Her attacker, Brianna J. Rivers, was arrested and charged with felony       assault, but Bragg’s officer later downgraded the charge to a       misdemeanor — and then flubbed the “onerous” discovery requirements,       leading the case to be tossed.              In a new civil case filed Tuesday by Craven Antao against Rivers, the       conservative influencer claims the DA used a loophole to assign the case       to a student “non-lawyer.”              The suit — which isn’t against Bragg or his office — alleges that the       speedy trial dismissal in July was “because the inexperienced nonlawyer       assigned to the case under a ‘student practice’ rule allowed the       discovery deadline to lapse.”              Bragg had apologized for botching the case in September, blaming a       transfer to a new prosecutor.              The suit also accuses prosecutors of refusing to refile charges as a       felony and declining to pursue hate crime charges — despite evidence       that Rivers’ attack “was committed in the context of her mockery of       [Antao’s] Christian beliefs.”              https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/savannah-c       aven-pro-life-youtube-112212578.jpg?resize=744,488&quality=75&strip=all              “I have to look over my shoulder and worry about if somebody who       supports her actions — there are a lot of people out there that do —       that they’re going to try to do something else,” Craven Antao told Fox       News Digital this week.              “Because what the DA Alvin Bragg himself has shown to people, with       letting this case be dropped, is that they can go assault somebody and       hurt them if they disagree with them and nothing is going to happen.”              Craven Antao’s pro-bono lawyers from the conservative Thomas More       Society claim that Rivers “knowingly, willfully and maliciously       continued to mock [Antao] and her views online in order to further       inflict emotional distress,” including posting t-shirts boasting of the       attack.              “Rivers posted photo [sic] of a t-shirt with the logo ‘BAM!’ and a fist       hitting a face, which she and her cousin apparently produced and       marketed in order to raise money for her legal fees,” the filing alleges.              The suit also lists a long list of posts “liked” by Rivers in support of       her tortious and criminal conduct, including one user who said, “You       ain’t hit that girl hard enough.”              Rivers told The Post in September that Craven Antao is “just fishing for       more clicks and empathy and targeting me for harassment.”              “I was apologetic to her,” Rivers said. “I felt sorry about the       situation. She wants to continue to just kind of drag it out.”              Craven Antao said the vicious assault left her with stitches — and over       $3,000 in medical bills.              “First, I’d really appreciate my over $3,000 in medical bills to be paid       off, because I should not be responsible for those,” Craven Antao told       Fox News Digital.              “Second, it’s to send a message — hopefully to show her that she can’t       do this again,” she continued.              The Manhattan DA’s office did not respond to a request for comment.              https://nypost.com/2025/11/21/us-news/pro-life-influencer-attack       d-in-nyc-files-lawsuit-after-da-alvin-bragg-drops-case/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
