Blue city judge slammed for releasing violent suspect arrested again for vicious attack on teen

According to Fox News Digital, talk show host Jason Rantz expressed his concern over Seattle Judge Veronica Galván’s choice to release an armed robbery suspect who later allegedly committed a heinous crime against a teenager. Rantz suggested that the judge’s lenient decisions on the bench may make her just as harmful as the dangerous suspects she allows back on the streets.

The suspect in question, Millorz J. Canales, a 17-year-old purported member of the Norteño gang, was accused of assault, kidnapping, and robbery in a disturbing incident that took place on Dec. 17. Canales and an associate reportedly enticed a 14-year-old to Lions Park in Everett, as detailed by KOMO News.

The victim, who confessed his ties to the rival South Side Locos gang, was subjected to a brutal attack that included being tied to a tree, stripped, stabbed multiple times, marked with the letter “N,” and disemboweled. The Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney’s office revealed that the entire 20-minute assault was captured on surveillance video.

The victim survived and ran to a nearby home for help.

“It’s not just about Veronica Galvan. I could have probably written a similar story on a number of judges, dozens of judges across the state. She just happened to be on a very high profile case that caught my attention,” Rantz said.

Both Seattle and Washington state have been “living the consequences” of progressive court rulings,” he said.

“A lot of the judges we have and a lot of the prosecutors we have in the state have really adopted this position of wanting to dismantle the criminal justice system and then rebuilding it through this very specific ideological lens – we saw it in the most obvious ways during the BLM movement of 2020 into 2021, where they were quite literally using the language, dismantling the criminal justice system and rebuilding it,” Rantz said. 

“We’ve seen policies and laws that have been changed that have specifically tried to do that, to create a system in which justice is not in fact blind,” he continued. “That based on one’s identity as a defendant, they get treated in a different way, more positively for them, negatively for the victim. That’s the unfortunate reality that we have… Washington state has been infected with this sort of woke think for a very long time now.”

Galvan was appointed to her position by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee in 2014. Since then, she has repeatedly run unopposed for re-election. 

“We have a problem in King County, in particular in Seattle, where we’ve got a lot of these open positions that ultimately get filled because of an appointment by a Democrat governor. And then no one steps up to challenge. It’s a failure, I think, on the part… of the local Republican Party,” Rantz said. “You’re either going to try to get the best of the best to step up and run for these positions, or you’re going to continue to see what we’ve been seeing, which is just ceding all of this power to radicals.”
