I'm not really surprised by this ruling. While it was widely reported at the time, they never really had any evidence (that I could see) that was a smoking gun that tied the dispersal or protesters to Trump's speech. It seemed more a post hoc type of thing. This is what happens when you get to court, you can't just suspect something happened, you have to at least have a preponderance of evidence that it did happen.

"you can't just suspect something happened" a lot of the local leftists were shouting, "high crimes and misdemeanors," and no one on the left pushed back telling them to wait for a "preponderance of evidence".

This guy holding the bible is evil, in your opinion, but not these burning, looting, rioting, killing, maiming? Got it.

The protesters were violent. The IG report said that was the reason the Park Police decided to erect a barricade. It is all detailed in the IG report, but the news lied about it and nobody is going by the facts.
