Stick a fork in 'em, 'cause they are done.

I don't see plea deals in their future.

Could be rough in the joint for those mugs.

Ex-Memphis cops charged in Tyre Nichols' death 'swarmed' Black Army vet and beat him 3 days earlier: lawsuit

Attorneys allege Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse evaMADISON, Wis. (AP) — Attorneys for a man shot and injured by Kyle Rittenhouse during a protest in 2020 are asking a federal judge to give them more time to serve Rittenhouse with a civil lawsuit, alleging that he is purposefully trying to evade them.

Attorneys for Gaige Grosskreutz filed the request on Wednesday, the deadline that U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman had given them to serve the lawsuit on Rittenhouse and the other defendants. Grosskreutz added Rittenhouse as a defendant last week in the lawsuit that also targets the city of Kenosha and local officials.

The lawsuit, originally filed in October 2021, accuses Rittenhouse and other defendants, including a host of local law enforcement agencies, of causing the injuries that Grosskreutz suffered that night. It is seeking an unspecified amount of damages.

The lawsuit is similar to one filed by the father of Anthony Huber, one of two men Rittenhouse shot and killed that night.

Rittenhouse was charged with homicide, attempted homicide and reckless endangering for killing Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum and wounding Grosskreutz with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle in the summer of 2020 during a tumultuous night of protests over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white Kenosha police officer.

Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in November 2021 after testifying he acted in self-defense. Rittenhouse’s actions became a flashpoint in the debate over guns, vigilantism and racial injustice in the U.S. He was 17 at the time of the shootings and is now 20.

An attorney for Grosskreutz said in a legal filing Wednesday that all of the other defendants, except for Rittenhouse, have accepted and waived service of the lawsuit. Rittenhouse’s attorney in the Huber lawsuit said he was not authorized to accept service and a person believed to be Rittenhouse’s mother who answered the door at a home in Florida said “Rittenhouse had been gone for a while,” according to the filing.

Grosskreutz “is currently unaware of Mr. Rittenhouse’s current whereabouts and is concerned that Mr. Rittenhouse is attempting to evade service,” according to the filing seeking a 60-day extension to serve him.

Rittenhouse last week changed attorneys for the Huber lawsuit, going back to one of his defense attorneys from the trial, Mark Richards. Richards said Thursday that he does not represent Rittenhouse in the Grosskreutz lawsuit.

Richards also said he does not know where Rittenhouse is.

“I don’t know how to find Kyle,” Richards said. “I do not currently know where Kyle is.”

Adelman, in the Huber lawsuit, earlier this month denied a motion by Rittenhouse and other defendants seeking to dismiss the case. The judge said in that case that Huber’s death “could plausibly be regarded as having been proximately caused by the actions of the governmental defendants.”

Attorneys and private investigators for Huber’s father spent over 100 hours trying to locate Rittenhouse, tracking down addresses in seven states before they found the home of his mother and sister in Florida. The lawsuit was served on Rittenhouse’s sister, who said that he wasn’t home. Adelman said that was sufficient to qualify as being served in the Huber case.

Rittenhouse’s attorneys had argued that the Huber case against him should be dismissed because Rittenhouse wasn’t properly served with the lawsuit. Adelman dismissed that, saying that Rittenhouse “is almost certainly evading service.”

“Rittenhouse has been deliberately cagey about his whereabouts,” Adelman wrote earlier this month. “Although he denies living in Florida, he does not identify the place that he deems to be his residence.”

In 2020, Rittenhouse went to Kenosha from his home in nearby Antioch, Illinois, after businesses were ransacked and burned in the nights that followed Blake’s shooting. He joined other armed civilians on the streets, carrying a weapon authorities said was illegally purchased for him because he was underage.

Rittenhouse first killed Rosenbaum, 36, in the parking lot of an auto dealership and as Rittenhouse ran from the scene he stumbled and fell. Huber, 26, struck Rittenhouse with his skateboard and tried to disarm him. Rittenhouse fell to the ground and shot Huber to death and wounded demonstrator Grosskreutz, who was 27 at the time.

Rittenhouse has maintained a high public profile, particularly on social media, where he is an outspoken advocate for gun rights. He has nearly 1 million followers on Twitter and has spoken at conservative gatherings.

He tweeted a fundraising plea this week in reference to the Grosskreutz lawsuit, saying: “This lawsuit is an attempt to drown anyone who legally and justifiably defends there lives from attackers in a mountain of legal debt. We can not let them win. If they can come after me they will come after you.”

Grosskreutz, who testified at the trial, last year sought to change his legal name because of what he now says was continued harassment related to the case.

$100 million reparations bill calls for formal apology to family of George Floyd

Minnesota Democrats have introduced a $100 million reparations bill that would require the state to issue a formal apology to the family of George Floyd and acknowledge the “systemic racism in the state.”

Introduced by Rep. Samakab Hussein, DFL-St.Paul, the “Minnesota Migration Act” begins with a list of “findings.”

“The legislature finds … that structural institutionalized racism in Minnesota and all of American society has led to overwhelming Black-white disparities in housing, business investment, economic prosperity, health and wellness, life expectancy, and infant mortality,” the bill states.

^^^^^ Tommyrot! Balderdash! Poppycock!

The legislature finds … that whitey is racist.
The legislature finds … that a merit based society is racist.
The legislature finds … that black people cannot be racist... because... shut up!

And just who is it who's been in charge for the last >50 years?

I remember when this happened during the BLM craziness. It was discussed in this thread.




https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...elf-defense-shooting

A jury in Travis County, Texas found Army Sgt. Daniel Perry, 33, guilty of murder on Friday, nearly three years after he shot a BLM protester who had a history of threatening people with rifles, after a Soros-funded DA withheld nearly 100 pages of exculpatory evidence from the grand jury according to the lead investigator in the case.

While driving for Uber, Perry shot protester Garrett Foster during a July 2020 protest in downtown Austin, after Foster and other protesters surrounded his car. After Foster raised his rifle at Perry, the Army Sergeant shot and killed Foster, then called the police to report what happened.

Perry told police he shot in self-defense, which both the Austin police department and the lead detective in the case agreed with - concluding it was justifiable homicide.



Then, Soros DA Jose Garza stepped in and instructed lead detective David Fugitt "to remove exculpatory information that I had intended to present to the grand jury during my testimony."

Much more at the link.

Austin is one fucked up city, my wife and I avoid it like death. I hear A.G. Ken Paxton is livid.

Wonder if Gov. Abbott can give the guy amnesty or something.

WTF, that is self defense.

I’m not a lawyer, but how can not this conviction be overturned on appeal? Prosecutor deliberately withholding exculpatory evidence from defense and then having corroborated testimony from investigators stating this as fact, is surely more than enough for appeal.

We are now well beyond the stage of trusting that justice will ever occur under Leftists controlled government. When once that stage is reached, then all bets on the future are off.

I got a notice of that, too. That DA should be disbarred.

I'm of the opinion that the DA should have to serve a sentence equal to what Sgt Perry would have, for concealing the evidence. But I'm a grouchy old man.

The contentious part is if Foster raised his rifle or not.

Perry says he did.

Supposedly multiple witness were produced that said Foster never raised his rifle or pointed it at Sergeant Perry.

Seems like the case hinged on that point.

I think multiple picture are out there showing Foster with his hands on his rifle r before the engagement with Perry.

Seems like there is reasonable doubt at least.

Does the Texas Bar Association have the power to remove or disbar a sitting District attorney? For that matter, do any of the various state bars' have any such authority?

If they do, they have been guilty of dereliction of duty for some time now.

Disbar, yes. It would almost certainly be a tough and lengthy process. It's an open question as to whether that would force removal of a DA, particularly in one of the big urban counties like Travis, since the DA is elected and has plenty of other licensed lawyers in the office to do anything that requires a law license.

IOW, the guy probably has to be run out of office by the voters, as happened in California.

I suspected as much. I would have thought that this withholding of exculpatory evidence thing would be a major problem for this asshole with the state bar though.
