The Five Worst Prosecutors in America
Here's an podcast of the above article, if you prefer audio | |||

Never miss an opportunity to be Batman! |
At a recent high profile murder trial in St. Louis (case ended in hung jury), the "second chair" prosecutor was an intern. No I am not kidding. In a two week period recently, Gardner had 3 different murder cases dismissed with prejudice due to her office NOT turning over evidence to the defense and this was AFTER being ordered to do so by the Judge on the case (hmm, sounds like the Greitens' case all over again). One other thing that the above article left out on the St. Louis Prosecutor on maternity leave; she find out the someone in the Prosecutor's Office was electronically signing documents in her name while she was out on leave. | |||

Crazy world Police Officers have to work in anymore. These leftist judges should be strung up. Apparently the Police can not even ensure their own safety. Charges Dropped Against Teen Rapper Accused of Shooting Police Officer https://nationalfile.com/charg...ting-police-officer/ Charges have been dropped against a teen rapper who is accused of shooting a New York City police officer. The gun and assault case against Camrin Williams, a 16-year-old rapper who goes by the stage name C Blu, “cannot be prosecuted,” the city Law Department said in a statement Friday. Williams had been facing charges after shooting 27-year-old Kaseem Pennant in the leg this past January. The teen rapper was already on probation for a prior gun case at the time of the shooting, according to The New York Post. Bronx Supreme Court Justice Denis Boyle set the ascending rapper’s bond at $250,000 in February, which he posted. He had reportedly received an advance from Interscope Records, which he used to get out of jail. Williams did not stay out of jail for long, however, as he was back in juvenile court just one week later after violating the terms of his probation. The case was initially slated to be tried in adult court, but Judge Naita Semaj ruled that police had no reason to search him. Now, the teen rapper’s fortune seems to be turning around even further after charges against him were unexpectedly tossed. NYC Juvenile Court officials did not elaborate on why the case was being dropped, much to the dismay of the NYPD and police unions. “Just because the city cannot prosecute doesn’t mean this individual should have been carrying an illegal weapon — a weapon which contributed to both him and an officer being shot,” the Law Department said in a statement. “Pursuant to Family Court Law, the case is now sealed and we are unable to say more about the matter.” NYPD Police Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch called the decision to let Williams walk “absurd.” “This absurd decision should outrage every New Yorker who wants to get illegal guns off our streets. There is no dispute that this individual was caught carrying an illegal gun for the second time. If perps like this face absolutely no consequences, even after shooting a cop, we have to ask: why bother sending us out to get the guns at all?” According to the NYPD, the teen rapper’s gun went off during a scuffle with police officers. They were responding to reports of a disorderly crowd when they encountered Williams. Williams — who frequently references his gang affiliations — reportedly approached a police car with his hands in his pockets. When officers asked to see his hands he refused, which led to a scuffle. He was previously arrested in the Bronx in May 2020, when he was just 14, for possession of a handgun, authorities said. New York Mayor Eric Adams defended the NYPD’s handling of the situation this past March. “I don’t believe those officers broke the law,” said Adams, who claimed cops “C Blu” after recognizing him from a prior gun arrest. “We will never say breaking the law is a way of enforcing the law, but those officers that put their lives on the line to remove illegal guns off the street should not be demonized,” Adams added at the March press conference. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

‘Agenda-driven judge’ who cut teen rapper C Blu loose is partially responsible for NYC crime surge: source https://nypost.com/2022/05/21/...-crime-surge-source/ The Bronx judge who cut loose an accused cop-shooting teen gangbanger is “agenda driven” — and part of the reason crime is spiraling out of control, a furious law enforcement source told The Post on Saturday. Camrin Williams, a 16-year-old drill rapper who goes by the stage name C Blu, was let off the hook in the gun and assault case, which the city Law Department said Friday “cannot be prosecuted.” Williams’ gun went off when he tussled with an Officer Kaseem Pennant in January outside a building in Belmont. The cop was hit on the leg and the teen in the groin. The case was dropped after Bronx Supreme Court Justice Naita Semaj — who has a history of cutting loose allegedly violent teens — earlier disputed the NYPD’s version of events and discredited an officer’s testimony about the arrest, which was captured on one of the cop’s body cameras. “The fact that an agenda-driven judge invented her own set of facts and her own interpretation of what is clear on that video is another sign that the criminal justice system in the Bronx is broken,” the law enforcement source complained. Bronx Judge Naita Semaj disputed the NYPD’s version of events. The NYPD decried the decision to drop the case against William, noting the death of 11-year-old Kyhara Tay, who was allegedly gunned down by a 15-year-old shooter. “The decision to dismiss the case is obviously concerning,” Deputy Commissioner John Miller told The Post. “In a borough where we were just reminded with the death of an 11-year-old that the most serious problem is kids shooting kids, dropping the charges against a gang kid arrested with his second gun in the shooting of a cop sends a bad message.” The officer stopped Williams, a known gang member who had posted photos with guns on social media, and who was on probation for a weapons possession case from May 2020. “When he approached the individual and asked him to stand still and take his hands out of his pockets, he takes his hands out of his pockets then puts them back in and keeps moving backwards. The judge’s interpretation of that video recording was that the suspect was complying. He was doing everything but complying,” the police source said. He said Williams was trying to get away with a loaded gun. Williams was arrested in the Bronx when he was just 14, for possession of a Tauris firearm, authorities said. Semaj had contended the bodycam footage showed Williams was relatively calm and cooperative throughout the encounter. Semaj, a former foster care agency caseworker who went on to law school, took the Supreme Court bench in January 2022 and has already stirred up controversy in several cases. In February she allowed two alleged teen criminals to go free pending trial. Police recovered the gun allegedly used by 16-year-old Camrin Williams in the shooting of the officer Semaj released Braulio Garcia, 17, who with another teen faces murder, manslaughter and other charges in connection with the New Year’s Day death of a good Samaritan, with supervision, and over the objections of prosecutors. In another case, Semaj walked back another jurist’s decision to set bail for a 17-year-old accused of attempt murder. The judge released Sharif Mitchell, who had been held on $30,000 to $60,000 bail, on his own recognizance, again going against prosecutors. In April, she dismissed a murder indictment against Steven Mendez, 17, who was accused of killing Saikou Koma, 21, last fall when he was on probation for another case. She ruled that detectives gave “problematic” and “improper” testimony during grand jury proceedings, outraging the victim’s family. “What is wrong with this judge?” Koma’s dad, Amar Bully Koma, said. “If this was the judge’s son, or his nephew or a relative, he would not let him go. The city, the mayor. If this was his kid, they would not let him go. “They do not care about us.” _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

No Prison Time for Antifa-Linked Activist Who Fired at Jeep During Highway Protest https://nationalfile.com/no-pr...ing-highway-protest/ Samuel Young, who fired indiscriminately at a jeep as it tried to flee a horde of far-left activists who were blocking an interstate, received a sentence of just 120 days in jail. Young, 24, will avoid prison after a judge called him “well-educated” and cited his community service. He was convicted earlier this year on multiple counts, including attempted manslaughter, which could have landed him in prison for up to 6 years. On July 25, 2020, far-left extremists blocked an interstate in Aurora, Colorado. While the interstate was blocked, Samuel Young — who published a wild manifesto not long before the shooting — fired indiscriminately at a jeep that was trying to get through. Two bullets struck the jeep, though the driver was able to escape unharmed. Two of Young’s fellow protesters were struck by the gunfire, however. ne of the demonstrators was shot in the leg while another was brazed in the head. The man who was shot in the leg, Joseph Sagrillo, testified Tuesday that the bullet hit his femoral artery. He was rushed to a hospital for a five-hour emergency surgery, and spent months recovering, according to The Denver Post. “Trump has continued to use racially charged language throughout his political career, and continues to support a police state that disproportionately targets black people,” Young wrote in a Medium essay on the day of the incident. The essay exclusively refers to conservative figures as “Nazis” who must be met with force. He also praised the “protesters” in Portland and claimed Trump’s calls to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization made him a fascist. Samuel Young was eventually convicted of seven felonies earlier this year, including two counts of second-degree assault, four counts of attempted manslaughter and a single count of illegally discharging his gun. Despite the severity of his crimes, the Colorado native was sentenced to just 120 days in jail. He will serve about 70 days with time served and will avoid a prison bid, though he will be on probation for five years upon release. Eighteenth Judicial District Judge Ben Leutwyler said he considered sending Young to prison but decided probation better served the interest of justice, citing Young’s community service, remorse and lack of a criminal record. Judge Leutwyler also factored in the cause Young was “protesting” when he and fellow far-left extremists blocked an interstate. “You have no criminal history. You are a young person, 24 years old, well-educated, you have a history of helping others, you’re needed at home. And you shot wholly indiscriminately into a crowd of hundreds of people,” the Judge said at Young’s sentencing. Assistant District Attorney Tom Byrnes asked that Samuel Young be sentenced to six years in prison. “There was no reason he should have been bringing a gun to a protest on the interstate and using it against motorists on a highway,” Byrnes said. “It was reckless, and we’re all grateful and lucky that there weren’t people killed that day.” Young’s mother, who suffers from a debilitating mental health condition, testified that her son is her primary caretaker. She stated that she relies heavily on his help and would likely have to move into a nursing home if Young received a prison sentence, The Denver Post reported. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

Gracie Allen is my personal savior! |
If he's got a mom at home with a debilitating mental condition, and he's her primary caretaker, then what is that stupid fuck doing running around firing shots at a demonstration for? Two helpful hints, Judge: "deadly force" and "mammas will say anything". | |||

https://www.breitbart.com/crim...y-to-lowering-crime/ Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) blamed the media for perpetuating violence during the “Summer of Peace” event on Monday and lauded “personal responsibility” as one of the keys to lowering violent crime. During the event, a member of the media asked: “Do you think your administration can have a summer of peace given what we’ve seen this year?” an ABC News affiliate reported. Scott “fired back,” defensively answering the question and accusing the community at large of “spreading this hate.” “I think that’s a ridiculous question. I think that your station, in particular, has to understand this is not hashtag. We are going to work every day to make sure that does not happen wherever we can prevent it,” he said. “We ultimately have to understand personal responsibility. Where’s the personal responsibility? When are we also going to call on people to check on what’s going on with their young people, to make sure they know what their young people are into?” The Baltimore Police were investigating 137 murders as of Monday, less than halfway into 2022, according to the station, which cited a Forbes report showing that Baltimore was the fifth most dangerous city in the country. Baltimore had 337 murders in 2021, which was the seventh consecutive year the city had more than 300 homicides. Analysts have predicted that 2022 could prove to be the deadliest in Baltimore’s history. “After studying a decade of crime patterns, Sean Kennedy, with the Maryland Public Policy Institute, says the city is on-track to see more than 375 homicides this year,” a Fox Baltimore report said in April. “That would be the most homicides that Baltimore has seen since 1993 when the death toll hit 353.” This April, Scott announced the city would be hiring civilians as investigators for its detective force as it faces staffing shortages and rising violent crime. Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said the hiring of civilian investigators is “directly tied” to the department’s struggle to hire and retain officers and noted that the agency had a shortage of 350 positions xxxxxxxxxxxx In 2014 Baltimore had 214 homicides. "seventh consecutive year" 2015 Freddie Gray. Marilyn Mosby attacked the police. Now for the last 7 years Baltimore is over 300 homicides each year. But the mayor thinks "personal responsibility" is the answer | |||

Wait, what? |
This is all by design. My belief is that they hope that good folk will get tired of the shenanigans and take matters into their own hands. Then the gun grabbing will shift into high gear when so many “poor disadvantaged children are gunned down by rabid anti-social, anti-government actors”… otherwise known as law abiding gun owners with spotless criminal records. THAT is who the government really fears. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

There was no attempted overthrow, the socialists got away with it. Their experiment has failed miserably. We’re not ready for any kind of socialism, the government hasn’t bought that many votes yet. We’ve just got to stay on their ass and hassle the left as they so gleefully hassle us. The most difficult part will be getting politicians to keep their word. USA # 1! | |||

Seattle Police So Defunded They Can't Even Investigate New Rape Cases https://www.frontpagemag.com/p...n-daniel-greenfield/ Actions have consequences. Stupid actions have stupid consequences. And pro-crime policies always work. Police defunding was billed as making Seattle safer because no longer would mean cops shoot drug dealers for no reason except that they were shooting at them. The Seattle City Council’s headlong dash to defund police is irresponsible, destabilizing — and ongoing. A Sept. 13 council vote to further chisel away at the police budget perpetuates a malignant trend that is making Seattle a more dangerous place to live and work. A year after council budget-cutting and tinkering with department structure led to Chief Carmen Best’s departure, almost 300 officers and detectives have followed her out the door. Seven of the council’s nine members pledged in July 2020 to take away at least half the department’s funding and reimagine public safety around fewer police interventions. That was last year. How are things now? Rather than police, Solidarity Budget advocates are calling on councilmembers to invest in programs and services aimed at improving equity by building stronger communities. Defunding SPD, speakers said, is part of the coalition’s broader push to prioritize the environment, housing, education, transportation, childcare and nutrition, Indigenous sovereignty, and criminal justice reform. Rape victims assaulted by the growing number of unimprisoned criminals roaming the streets thanks to criminal justice reform.. are out of luck. https://www.seattletimes.com/s...internal-memo-shows/ Seattle police’s sexual assault and child abuse unit staff has been so depleted that it stopped assigning to detectives this year new cases with adult victims, according to an internal memo sent to interim police Chief Adrian Diaz in April. The unit’s sergeant put her staffing crisis in stark terms. “The community expects our agency to respond to reports of sexual violence,” Sgt. Pamela St. John wrote, “and at current staffing levels that objective is unattainable.” In the memo, St. John went on to say that she was not “able to assign adult sexual assault cases” that came into her unit. Cases involving children and adult cases that had a suspect in custody — a fraction of adult sexual assaults reported to police — were being prioritized. The unit just had too few detectives. Increasingly, victims of sexual assault who report their cases to Seattle police aren’t hearing anything back, said Mary Ellen Stone, CEO of the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center. On Tuesday, a man reported to police that he had been raped at knifepoint. His report was added to the list of stalled cases. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."
