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 have a good life and don’t wish to encounter physical harm, so thanks for offering to do it for me. Too bad you won’t be there if / when I encounter a nazi. It would have been great to have you fight on my behalf.

Presumably. They want to kill all Palestinians or drive them out. Either is acceptable to them.

Meanwhile, Imran Ali — the former assistant Washington County prosecutor in Minnesota who had initially charged Potter — accused the board of canceling its training to avoid public scrutiny, fumbling an opportunity for Washington law enforcement officers to learn from Potter’s mistake. Ali came up with the idea to partner with Potter on the training, which they would have led together.

Prosecutor demonstrating to the local cops that he’s on their side when they kill people to keep a good relationship to ensure cooperation on future cases.

They earned every one of those medals.

You mean that book that’s about killing your enemies and making them your slaves? I’m pretty sure that’s not the place to learn how to behave.

Castillo had eight prior felony convictions, including second-degree assault for beating another woman with a hammer in 2014. At the time of the knife attack, Castillo was on intensive supervised release and had a warrant out for his arrest after he failed to show up at a court hearing on charges that he assaulted two correctional officers at the Stillwater state prison in 2020.

I’m generally against the carceral system, but this guy is a threat to others and needs to rot.

The “war” in Gaza isn’t meant to take out Hamas. It’s meant to eradicate the Palestinian people.

No one is surprised.

I am serious that they should be punched. I am a non-violent person, so I hope that someone better fit for the job does it. If faced with a nazi that I think I can take or one that I think I can sorta take, I might punch them myself.

I didn’t think this way until I read, Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy, by Talia Levin. After, I am firmly in the “punch a nazi” camp.

Wrong. Dems are not Repubs.

If you’ll revisit my comment, you’ll see that I said:

I’ve been calling contemporary dems Reagan-era repubs for some time now.

Modern repubs are lunatic far-right nuts. Modern dems have the policies of Reagan-era repubs.

According to the lawsuit, the father’s uncle Kevin Montgomery contacted the agency to tell them Harmony had a “vibrant” black eye after she was “punched clear in the eye socket with full force” and that Adam had told him he’d “bounced her off” every wall in the house.

What the actual fuck.

The couple later discovered the girl was dead after the car broke down, Kayla Montgomery testified. She said her husband put the body in a duffel bag. She described various places where the girl’s body was hidden, including the trunk of a car, a cooler, a homeless center ceiling vent and the walk-in freezer at her husband’s workplace.

So this guy was toting a child-corpse around and hiding her in places where others simply didn’t notice? I wanted more info on the step-mother. Is she in prison for complicity in the scheme? I gotta think so.

Followed a link in the article to her testimony:

Kayla Montgomery said Harmony was potty trained, but had begun having frequent accidents. She testified that her husband punched Harmony in the head after two such accidents in the car.

He later covered Harmony with a blanket as the child cried, moaned and eventually went silent, the stepmother said. Their car broke down soon afterward and Adam Montgomery put Harmony’s body in the duffel bag, she said.

[…]

“Right,” said Montgomery, who is serving an 18-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to perjury for lying during grand jury testimony about where she was when Harmony was last seen.

[…]

The duffel bag made it from the trunk of a friend’s car to a hallway cooler near an apartment where Kayla Montgomery’s mother lived, and then to a ceiling vent in a shelter where the family stayed for about six weeks.

I find it difficult to believe that a corpse spent six weeks in a ceiling without detection, but there’s no reason to believe that she’s lying about this child dying from abuse. If anything, I think the step-mother may share more guilt in hiding the body. But I guess prosecutors weighed his conviction as the most important aspect of the case.

We live in such a fucked up society.

Who would have thought JD is an opportunistic piece of shit who has contempt for others?

I’ve been calling contemporary dems Reagan-era repubs for some time now.

I think it’s pretty clear she’s never even met the orange bad.

“All of this would be ignorable, except that others close to Mr. Trump say he is listening to Ms. Loomer’s advice,” the editors wrote. “People in the Trump campaign are trying to get her out of the former President’s entourage, to no avail. Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks Ms. Loomer is damaging the former President’s election chances.”

Keep it up! Let her feed his ego and make him over-confident and spewing insanity that regular people can’t understand because they aren’t terminally-online.

She’s boning him, or wants to be.

Swamp creature vibes.

I heard it in the south. Tennessee.

So, this “good” Repub who stood up to the orange bad was furthering their corrupt court capture in the background. And the media treats her like a hero.

Ginni Thomas is a conspiratorial nutjob whose husband sits on the highest court in the country accepting bribes from billionaires and Liz Cheney protected her from scrutiny.

Not right now, but on the original Baldur’s Gate, it autosaved when I had like 1% health right before a boss. There was no chance of getting around that. Totally screwed me over and I gave up.

This is great. Just to let you know, whatever decision you make is wrong. Cheers!
