Did you know that one of the anarchists leading those columbia University students by the nose is completely unaffiliated with the university…
…though educated as a lawyer, has an almost 20 year history of anarchist activity (apparently funded by daddy and mommy’s millions)…
…and is now a free man again courtesy of Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg’s “justice” system?
Excerpted from Tina Moore, Chris Harris and Matthew Sedacca’s article for the New York Post:
One of the most violent leaders of the Columbia University riots is allegedly a professional agitator and limousine liberal — the scion of millionaire ad execs who owns in a $3.4 million Brooklyn townhouse, has a model babymama and a stepmom dating John Cougar Mellencamp.
James Carlson, aka Cody Carlson, aka Cody Tarlow, is “a longtime anarchist,” a high-ranking police source said.
He bought his 2,893-square-foot, three-story townhouse with four wood-burning fireplaces and a carriage house in Park Slope in 2019 for $2.3 million, according to property records and online listings.
The provocateur, who has arrests dating back to 2005, is one of three children of prominent advertising execs Richard “Dick” Tarlow and his wife, Sandy Carlson Tarlow.
After his Wednesday arrest at Columbia, cops additionally charged Carlson with a hate crime, assault and petit larceny for allegedly lighting an Israel supporter’s flag aflame and hitting the 22-year-old in the face with a rock during an April protest, cops said.
His rap sheet dates back to at least 2005, when he was charged in San Francisco for participating in the violent “West Coast Anti-Capitalist Mobilization and March Against the G8,” where protesters cracked a police officer’s skull, nearly killing him, and attempted to set a police cruiser ablaze, according to a City Hall source and news reports.
Carlson destroyed a camera inside a holding cell at One Police Plaza while he was in custody around 1 a.m., police sources said.
Estranged relatives of Carlson refused to discuss him.
“We don’t talk to him. Leave us alone. He is out of our lives for so many years,” a woman who answered the phone at his sister’s home said Friday.
Now if anyone should be arraigned, and held – maybe in Rikers – until trial, it is this violent, professional anarchist
But, according to Mira Wassef’s article for WPIX 11 news (the bold print is mine):
A man who was arrested during the Columbia University protests on Tuesday is also accused of stealing and burning an Israeli flag during a Manhattan protest last month, police and sources said Thursday.
James Carlson, 40, of Brooklyn, was arrested Wednesday and charged with criminal mischief, arson, and criminal possession of stolen property in connection to the April 20 incident, according to the NYPD.
Sources said Carlson was among the protesters arrested at Columbia University Tuesday night. He was charged with criminal trespassing.
Carlson was arraigned in the flag and protest incidents on Thursday and released without bail, according to court records.
Ahhhh, yes. New York City “justice”.
But do not despair. Manhattan District Attorney alvin bragg is keeping his borough safe for all humanity! He is charging a former President of the United States on 34 felony counts…for a possible bookkeeping misdemeanor that the statute of limitations ran out on.
There you go. Feel better now?
