I remember this. Some racist rednecks chased a Black man in their trucks and recorded it on a phone. Morons.
Johnson transferred the case to an outside prosecutor because the man who initiated the deadly chase, Greg McMichael, was her former employee. But Georgia’s attorney general says she illegally used her office to try to protect the retired investigator and his son, Travis McMichael, who fired the fatal shots.
Asshole DA trying to protect a hate crime-committing racist POS.
Johnson’s case has stalled as one of her attorneys, Brian Steel, has spent most of the past two years in an Atlanta courtroom defending Grammy-winning rapper Young Thug against racketeering and gang charges. Jury selection in the case took 10 months, prosecutors began presenting evidence last November and they are still calling witnesses.
Ten months for selecting a jury? How?! People with money need to be held to account without letting them gum up the wheels of justice for regular folks. But some guy with a bunch of money can make a process that should take days take almost a year.
Barnhill stepped aside after a few weeks, but not before he sent a letter to police captain arguing the McMichaels acted legally and Arbery was killed in self-defense.
Oh, well that sounds fine, not at all like some Ole’ Boys of the South protecting murderers.
District attorneys “have a huge amount of discretion to make decisions about what cases to pursue,” Samuel said. “The notion that we’re going to start prosecuting DAs for prosecuting or not prosecuting strikes me as really being on the edge of propriety.”
You’re leaving out the part where she knew one of the murderers, asshole.
I’m not saying it’s as annoying to read as some ‘dance around the issue’ ‘articles’ from ‘the other side’, but the need to inject a truckload of related bagage into every sentence just devalues the entire effort.
Like, yes Kevin, we know this is bad. We know it doesn’t spark joy in the hearts of Haitian children. But just act like you’re half a journalist and give us a clear cut of the cold dry facts. Wrap up your emotional shit in a closing paragraph if it helps you convince yourself
‘the shooting’ is the Secret Service agent doing their job. The story going the rounds is that the agent was doing a sweep ahead of trump, saw a guy with something that looked suspicious and decided to fire on the guy. Whatever happened between recognizing that things were hinky and the shots… well. that’s the first question.
my cursory search on FL carry laws suggest that unless the guy was coming back from hunting, fishing or target shooting, then he’s not allowed to open carry (there may be some other exceptions.) It’s dubious that’s what he was doing… In any case, dude in a public, not-controlled space, not being an active shooter doesn’t generally allow for lethal force.
It’s entirely possible the agent walked up and chatted with him, or tried to, and the guy either bolted or gave him reason to justify lethal force.
But the biggest question of all: why would a guy planning to kill Trump walk around in plain sight waiting for Trump to show up?
Like. I’m guessing you could see the, uhm, idiocy in that one.
I wonder if this is just damage control for Trump? JD is pure slime, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is just being thrown under the bus on this one, since it seems to be sticking as the dumbest part of the debate.
The ONLY way this could have been Prevented LITERALLY was if the Employee SHOT the Person before they could Shoot them! That’s LITERALLY the Only way we could have Prevented this Tragedy! LITERALLY!
How is this news? It’s a Waffle House in the south. I feel like an actual eldritch horror could come in eat five customers and their server and another server would come out to say “That’ll be 18.50, would you like a side of hashbrowns with it sweetee?”
Lol. My first instinct was to downvote you, but I have to admit this was funny and plays on the long held belief that a waffle house at night is in a different dimension.
Kind of want this limp dick idiot to stick around. The more damage he does the funnier and better it is for all of the sane(ish) people in our country.
