Per the Oregonian, "Schmidt earlier Sunday decried the deadly violence. He took office on Aug. 1 and quickly announced that he wouldn’t pursue low-level charges against demonstrators, such as interfering with police or resisting arrest. He wasn’t district attorney when the office handled Reinoehl’s gun case." I couldn't find any record of dropped charges in the other case, other than after the murder. Further, after using false facts to justify claiming Schmidt doesn't understand restorative justice, you don't actually describe what "real" RJ would be. Isn't this what you have a degree in? Why don't you tell me what it is or what it looks like? You already had a citable point of resignations over leadership, so it's unclear why you got so sloppy with the rest of it.
