MN Cop Wasn't in Danger But It was Reasonable for Him to Think He Was So Govt Can't Be Held Accountable for Fatal Shooting of Black Man: Ricky Cobb Case Tossed per Law of the Jungle Clogic (Immunity)

/

From [HERE] and [HERE] A federal judge Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit against white Minnesota state trooper Ryan Londregan in the shooting death of Ricky Cobb II during a 2023 traffic stop.

The decision is the latest development in a case that has drawn heated debate over excessive use of force by law enforcement. Criminal charges against Londregan were dismissed by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty in June, saying the prosecution didn’t have the evidence to proceed with a case.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Nancy E. Brasel granted Londregan’s motion to dismiss the civil suit, arguing he acted reasonably when he opened fire as Cobb’s vehicle lurched forward with another state trooper partly inside.

The lawsuit accuses troopers of unreasonably seizing Cobb by ordering him out of his vehicle but refusing to explain whether he was under arrest or why he was being detained. It claims the force used in the seizure was excessive, unjustifiable and unlawful.

After Cobb was stopped for driving without taillights, troopers learned that he had been accused of violating a domestic order for protection. The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office issued a 72-hour request for agencies to pick up and hold Cobb. The request, which is not a warrant but grants probable cause to detain, was set to expire later that morning. The order for protection was filed by one of the mothers of Cobb’s young children.

The lawsuit alleges that the troopers did not attempt to de-escalate the situation, and that they didn’t have reasonable suspicion that Cobb was armed or posed any threat of harm.

A gun was found on the floor behind the center console of Cobb’s vehicle, but the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) has maintained that Cobb was never holding a gun. Troopers never made reference to seeing a gun in Cobb’s vehicle, according to dash and body-cam video.

Cobb’s hands were in the air in full view of the troopers in the moments leading up to the shooting, the lawsuit says. His hands weren’t touching the steering wheel or gear shift until Londregan reached inside the front passenger window to unlock the door. As he opened the door, Cobb put his foot on the brake and moved his hands to the shifter and put the vehicle into drive, removing his foot from the brake. Cobb’s vehicle moved forward several feet while Seide, on the drivers side, leaned in to unsecure Cobb’s seatbelt. Cobb stepped on the brake and Londregan drew his firearm, pointing it at Cobb.

Londregan leaned his torso inside, gun drawn, and yelled at Cobb to get out. Seide grabbed at Cobb, who took his foot off the brake again, causing the vehicle to lurch forward, according to the lawsuit. Londregan fired and Cobb’s vehicle proceeded down the interstate for one-quarter of a mile until it crashed into a concrete median, the suit says.

As a direct result of the troopers’ wrongful acts and omissions, the suit adds, Cobb’s family suffered financial losses in an amount to be determined by a jury.

“At the time of this incident, Decedent Cobb was an unarmed man stopped for a minor traffic violation, had no outstanding warrants and was not threatening or acting violently towards the officers on scene,” the lawsuit says. “Nevertheless, Defendant Seide attempted to wrestle Decedent Cobb out of the vehicle and Defendant Londregan drew his firearm on Decedent Cobb and shot him almost immediately, even with Defendant Seide positioned in a leaning posture over Decedent Cobb in his front seat.” [MORE]

In her decision, Brasel said the troopers were mandated by state law to make an arrest given Cobb’s domestic no-contact order violation. She said it was objectively reasonable for Londregan to believe Seide was in immediate danger as the car moved forward on a busy highway, which would make his use of force reasonable.

Black People Feel Vicariously Empowered Over Angela Alsobrooks Historic US Senate Win - But Will She Actually Deliver Anything of Tangible, Material Value to Black Communities or Address Black Needs?

/

From [HERE] Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks defeated Republican former two-term Gov. Larry Hogan on Tuesday in the state’s costliest U.S. Senate race ever. She will be Maryland’s first Black senator.

Hogan conceded around 10 p.m., calling Alsobrooks a “dedicated public servant” and said “we can all take pride” in her history-making achievement.

Alsobrooks was introduced by her daughter, Alexandra, and told cheering supporters at her victory party in College Park: “I don’t have enough words to say thank you to God.”

She thanked the “baddest” campaign team, and said, “I woke up this morning to my neighbors who lined my street and hosted a pep rally for me. To those Marylanders whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voice and I’ll be your senator, too.”

Alsobrooks’ victory came in an election that produced significant turnover in the state’s Washington delegation of eight U.S. House members and two senators. Alsobrooks and two House candidates, April McClain Delaney of Montgomery County in the 6th Congressional District and Sarah Elfreth of Anne Arundel County in the 3rd Congressional District, all sought spots in a delegation that is currently all male. The Associated Press declared Elfreth the winner, while McClain Delaney’s race was too close to call.

The last time two women were part of Maryland’s U.S. House delegation simultaneously was 1993-95, when Republicans Helen Bentley and Connie Morella overlapped before Bentley left to run for governor.

Exit Poll shows Puppet Harris Won 80% of the Black Vote - a drop of 10 percentage points compared w/2020 [s]Election of Corpse Biden

/

From [HERE] Harris appears to have won 80 percent of the Black vote, according to an exit poll by The Associated Press.

But that’s a drop of 10 percentage points compared with 2020 when the current president, Joe Biden, won nine of 10 Black votes.

The beneficiary? Trump, who won 20 percent of the Black vote this time, according to the exit poll. He had won 13 percent of the community’s vote in 2020 and 8 percent in 2016 — which in itself was the highest level of support by Black voters for any Republican since George W Bush in 2000.

How did Trump perform with Black voters in swing states?

A comparison of Black votes for both parties in some of the swing states in 2024 and 2020 shows how Trump’s support crept up in this year’s election, according to exit polls after both elections.

Georgia

Georgia was one of the most crucial swing states in the 2024 election and one of the first battleground states that went Trump’s way. He made a 1 percentage point improvement among Black voters in Georgia from the 2020 election against Biden, according to exit polls.

2024:

  • Democrats: 86 percent

  • Republicans: 12 percent

2020:

  • Democrats: 88 percent

  • Republicans: 11 percent

Michigan

Harris and the Democrats lost 2 percentage points of the Black vote in this state after growing anti-Democrat sentiment in the wake of Israel’s war on Gaza. Meanwhile, Trump made a 2 percentage point gain.

2024:

  • Democrats: 90 percent

  • Republicans: 9 percent

2020:

  • Democrats: 92 percent

  • Republicans: 7 percent

North Carolina

North Carolina saw one of the biggest shifts from Democrats to Republicans among Black voters with a 5 percentage point change from the previous election.

2024:

  • Democrats: 87 percent

  • Republicans: 12 percent

2020:

  • Democrats: 92 percent

  • Republicans: 7 percent

Pennsylvania

Trump’s victory was all but sealed when Pennsylvania was called for the Republican candidate, and here too the numbers went up for the second-time president.

2024:

  • Democrats: 89 percent

  • Republicans: 10 percent

2020:

  • Democrats: 92 percent

  • Republicans: 7 percent

Wisconsin

Voters in the state of Wisconsin had poverty, low wages and healthcare among their chief concerns, and Black voters in this state made a dramatic 13 percentage point shift towards Trump.

2024:

  • Democrats: 77 percent

  • Republicans: 21 percent

2020:

  • Democrats: 92 percent

  • Republicans: 8 percent

Nevada

The state reeling from the highest unemployment rate in the country was the only swing state where Harris made gains among Black voters compared with 2020.

2024:

  • Democrats: 82 percent

  • Republicans: 17 percent

2020:

  • Democrats: 80 percent

  • Republicans: 18 percent

A Gallup poll in 2023 showed the proportion of Black adults in the US who consider themselves Democrats had decreased from 77 percent in 2020 to 66 percent.

Take It in the FACE! Massa' Media's Synchronized Propaganda is Rejected by the Votary, Puppet Kamala Sent to the Woodshed in Massive Trump Come Back. Deluded Media Probots/Proxymorons Disfluent, Angry

/

Kamala Harris is only the second-biggest loser of the night.

Single Source Propaganda KO’d by reality. After spending vast resources and substantial time invested in bashing Trump, calling him a different derogatory term every week in thousands of “news” articles and after cheerleading for their puppet/golden retriever Kamala since her [s]election, the votary gave the middle finger to corporate controlled media.

In reality, massa’ media is the Dependent Media - a tool of elite persons that espouses the views of the vested interests. It conceals reality and projects a curated and manufactured reality from the point of view and in light of the elite’s ideology and does so to advance their control and vast power over people. Massa’ media is not simply the fourth estate of the government, which is also owned and controlled by powerful elites, it is much more - possibly the most powerful organization known to humans. Malcolm X stated, “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” Similarly, the neo-feudal review stated, ‘the power of the mainstream media isn’t simply immense - it may be almost absolute and sets the parameters of what constitutes reality for most people.”

Single source propaganda refers to the uniformity of the entire mainstream media covering the same information in the same manner without any dissent or contradiction - a synchronization that seeks mass conformity, uncritical examination of information, obedience and artificial dogmatic acceptance. Like magicians, massa’ media declared Kamala “brand new” and poof she became free from any accounting for any Blight House failures or her abject failures to deliver anything of tangible value to Black communities. Most importantly, they re-invented her, pretending she was an entirely different person the day before, because the media said so. Kamala is a wooden dummy of the elites and she only speaks when they speak through her, with their hand up her ass.

According to FUNTIONARY

The Media – the Spectacle-Cabal who love freedom of the press, but abhor freedom of speech. The Media is the Fourth Estate of Government (created, owned, administered and controlled by Pathocrats). It is one of the most essential arms of “government.” They couldn’t give you their Matrix Reality without it—likewise they couldn’t keep you imprisoned in it without it. The News Anchor holds down the Ship of State at the Port of Lies. How is it that shareholders of Media conglomerates also sit as anchors and bring you their master’s views as if it could ever be objective or news? “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” ~ Malcolm X.

mass media – “Massa’ Media. Massa’s media plus (+) Mass Hypnosis = Mindless Masses. 2) The “Mess” Media. 3) wholesale retale— retelling the whole tale (propaganda) exactly as you’re told, consistently and relentlessly. How can you possibly relate when you are framed by the very debate wherein you are an unwilling spectator? Let’s be perfectly clear on this. There’s no counteroption or outlet to vent when you’re under the controlled thoughtform of mass-think manufactured consent. “Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.” ~A.J. Liebling.

Project Veritas Reports that at 11PM Boxes of Ballots Arrived at Detroit’s Bureau of Elections in Cars with California Plates

/

From [HERE] Project Veritas footage allegedly shows boxes of ballots arriving late at night at Detroit’s Bureau of Elections. These deliveries, reportedly occurring around 11 PM, feature cars with California plates.

Project Veritas captured the late-night drop-offs. Their team was on-site, documenting the unusual activity as it unfolded.

They tweeted, “EYES ON DETROIT: It’s 11pm. Why are boxes of ballots still arriving at Detroit’s Bureau of Elections via cars with California plates? We’re here. We’re watching.”

Exit Polls Suggest Poor Black Turnout for Kamala Harris

/

From [HERE] Exit polls suggest that support for Kamala Harris has sagged among black men, many of whom have been hit hard by her pro-migration policies.

In Pennsylvania, Reuters reported:  “3% of voters in Pennsylvania were Black men, compared with 5% in 2020. 6% were Black women, compared with 6% in 2020.”

Reduced black turnout is a big problem for the Democrat Party because blacks contributed roughly one in five of Joe Biden’s votes in 2020. Harris’s turnout problem would be critical if it sways the vote in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

Amid pressure from pro-Harris friends and relatives, many blacks may choose to sit out the election rather than vote against President Donald  Trump’s low-migration, high-wage economic policy.

NewsWire cited similar data from the nationwide Edison Research Exit Poll, saying:

71% of voters were White (up from 67% in 2020), 11% were Black (down from 13%), and 12% were Hispanic (slightly down from 13%) — Preliminary Edison Research exit poll

These reports are incomplete and will be fleshed out as more exit poll data is released.

The reduced turnout of black men also shifts the other percentages in the electorate, Reuters reported:

83% of voters in Pennsylvania were white, compared with 81% in Edison Research’s 2020 exit poll. 9% were Black, compared with 11% in 2020. 5% were Hispanic, compared with 5% in 2020.

40% of voters in Pennsylvania were white men, compared with 38% in Edison Research’s 2020 exit poll. 43% were white women, compared with 43% in 2020.

ABC News is also reporting weakness in black support for Harris in Michigan.

2 White Canton Cops Charged w/Reckless Homicide (face only 3 yrs jail) for Murdering Frank Tyson. Cops Held Handcuffed Black Man Face Down and Sat on His Neck, Smothering and Torturing Him to Death

/

From [HERE] Two white police officers in Canton, Ohio, were indicted on charges of reckless homicide in the death of Frank Tyson, a Black man who was restrained by police in April, Stark County prosecutor Kyle L. Stone said on Saturday.

Officers Camden Burch and Beau Schoenegge were booked into the Stark County Jail on Friday, according to CNN affiliate WOIO.

Stone said the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation completed its investigation of Tyson’s death and delivered the results to the prosecutor’s office, and Stone then presented the case to a grand jury last week.

Reckless homicide is a third-degree felony and is punishable by up to 36 months in prison.

The arrests come more than six months after Tyson, 53, died following an April 18 police encounter during which he repeatedly pleaded, “I can’t breathe.”

The incident began after Tyson crashed a vehicle into a utility pole and fled to a nearby veteran’s hall, according to a news release from the Canton Police Department.

Police body-camera footage shows the officers approaching Tyson, who shouted to call the sheriff and said “They’re trying to kill me.” Officers forced Tyson to the ground and put him in handcuffs, and an officer placed his knee on or near Tyson’s neck while he was on his stomach, according to bodycam video of the interaction.

“I can’t breathe,” Tyson said repeatedly.

“You’re fine,” one officer responded. “Shut the f**k up.”

Five minutes after he stopped speaking, the officers realized he was unresponsive, the video shows. The officers administered several doses of Narcan, the medication to reverse opioid overdoses, and administered CPR, the video shows. Tyson was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

In August, Stark County Coroner’s Office Chief Investigator Harry Campbell ruled Tyson’s death a homicide, according to WOIO. The preliminary autopsy also listed contributing causes of acute intoxication by cocaine and alcohol and cardiopulmonary arrest, WOIO reported.

The police incident report on the death included sparse details, saying only, “Suspect crashed a vehicle, fled from officers, and resisted being placed into custody.”

The two white officers initially were placed on administrative leave.

Single Source Propaganda: Analysis Shows Unprecedented Bias and Overwhelming Support for Kamala Harris by Major News Outlets [aka "The Dependent Media," which is owned by her Masters]

/

From [HERE] Major news broadcasters displayed an unprecedented level of political bias this campaign cycle, according to a new study that tallied the number of value-laden statements made about each candidate by news anchors, reporters, and expert subjects over the course of the presidential race.

Across ABC, CBS, and NBC, coverage of Kamala Harris was found to be 78 percent positive and 22 percent negative, according to the study conducted by the Media Research Center, a conservative-leaning media watchdog group. By contrast, Donald Trump received 15 percent positive coverage versus 85 percent negative, trailing Harris by 63 percent in terms of positive coverage.

This unprecedented edge topped the previous record of +58 for President Joe Biden in 2020.

“The MRC studies each determined the spin of news coverage by tallying all explicitly evaluative statements about each candidate from either reporters, anchors or non-partisan sources such as experts or voters,” the group claimed. “Evaluations from partisan sources, as well as neutral statements, were not included, nor were statements about their prospects in the campaign horse race (i.e., standings in the polls, chances to win, etc.).”

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton only received 21 percent positive press coverage in 2016 to Trump’s meager nine percent, which suggests that major broadcasters have steadily expanded their negative coverage of Trump in the years since he entered the political scene.

Bill Clinton maintained a 23-point advantage over Republican challenger George H. W. Bush (52 percent to 29 percent) during the 1992 cycle, according to a Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) study. The 2000 race coverage was shown to be more balanced, with Al Gore’s 40 percent positive press narrowly topping George W. Bush’s 37 percent.

Later, John Kerry enjoyed 59 percent positive coverage compared to Bush’s 37 percent. The results were far more skewed in 2008, when Barack Obama received 68 percent positive press compared to former Arizona senator John McCain’s 33 percent.

“Our analysis of good and bad press was based strictly on the opinions expressed by any independent observers quoted in the story, or on the stated opinions of the reporters themselves, commented CMPA on their methodology. “We coded each comment separately, identifying the source, target, and the direction of the evaluation.”

[the] “Fix is coming,” Google said. Elite White Liberals at Google Forced To Fix Search Engine After Getting Caught Interfering in [s]Election

/

From [HERE] Google admitted Tuesday that it is once again engaged in election interference, this time by inhibiting voters from getting information on where to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump on Election Day.

Users who searched “Where can I vote for Trump?” were shown a list of “Top stories” and, further down, a link to “donaldjtrump.com,” a link to “USA.gov” about how to vote, and several other websites with voter information.

But users who searched “Where can I vote for Harris?” were immediately shown a link provided by Democracy Works and Voting Information Project that allows voters to enter an address and be directed to their nearest polling location. One X user attributed the difference in results to “Harris” being a county in Texas. But users who entered non-Harris, Texas, addresses were still provided information about their nearest polling location.

Google acknowledged the issue in a statement, saying the issue was fixed and attributing their blatant election interference to an oopsie: “The ‘where to vote’ panel is triggering for some specific searches [because] Harris is also the name of a county in TX [Texas].”

“Fix is coming,” Google said. “Note very few people actually search for voting places this way.”

Google users were previously directed to Democracy Works when seeking information on how to register to vote.

Democracy Works bills itself as “non-partisan” but is funded by “prominent left-of-center private foundations, such as the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Democracy Fund, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation,” according to Influence Watch.

Google’s election bias has been evident for months, with the search engine giant suppressing information about Trump’s first assassination attempt.

Less than three weeks after Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania, the top autocomplete results for Google users who searched for “assassination attempt on t –” were “assassination attempt on Truman” and “assassination attempt on the Pope.” An additional query of “assassination attempt on” showed 10 autocomplete results — none of which mentioned Trump.

Just recently YouTube, which is owned by Google, similarly inhibited users from searching for the full interview between podcaster Joe Rogan and Trump.

Jury Rejects White Columbus Cop’s Testimony. Found Guilty of Murdering Andre Hill; Shot Black Man Holding a Phone, Was Not Under Arrest, Denied CPR. How Much Jail Time Will Black Liberal Judge Impose?

/

From [HERE] and [HERE] A former Columbus, Ohio, police officer was found guilty of murder on Monday in the 2020 shooting of Andre Hill, a Black man whose death spurred protests against police brutality and led to police reforms in the city.

A Franklin County jury also found the officer, Adam Coy, who is white, guilty of two other charges, felonious assault and reckless homicide. Mr. Coy was taken into custody after the verdict was read. He will be sentenced on Nov. 25. He faces at least 15 years in prison after the jury verdict on Monday.

Coy fatally shot 47-year-old Andre Hill around 2 a.m. on Dec. 22, 2020, as Hill was leaving a leaving a friend's house on Oberlin Drive. Coy had been called to the neighborhood in response to a non-emergency call from a neighbor who reportedly witnessed someone sit in an SUV and turn the car on and off.

Hill was unarmed and was carrying just his mobile phone when he was shot. He was wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt when he was killed.

The body camera footage shows that around 1:30 a.m, Hill inside a garage, walking toward Coy with a cellphone in his hand, the screen lit up and visible. Within seconds, Coy fires his weapons and Hill falls as Coy continues to ask Hill to show his hands.

Coy points his flashlight into the dark garage with his gun drawn and suddenly shoots Hill several times. An autopsy found bullets struck Hill in the chest, twice in the right thigh and an additional time in the right leg.

Coy did not have his body camera on when he got out of his vehicle and approached Hill, a clear violation of police policy. After the shooting, he turned it on, which activated a 60-second "look back" feature and recorded the shooting without audio.

Five minutes after he was shot by Officer Adam Coy, who is white, another officer can be heard in the footage saying: "Let's cuff him up. He's still moving."Mr Hill is then rolled over on to his stomach before being handcuffed and put on his back as the officers wait for an ambulance.

After Hill was shot, several officers handcuffed him while he lay unresponsive on the ground.Video recordings from Coy and others show that none of the multiple officers on the scene made an attempt to render first aid to Hill until ten minutes after he was shot

Minutes later, a more senior officer arrives and asks "anybody doing anything for him?" He then orders an officer to start CPR. Mr Hill was later pronounced dead.

EVERYWHERE ONE FINDS A LARGE POPULATION OF BLACK PEOPLE LIVING IN METRO AREAS CONTROLLED BY ELITE, WHITE LIBERALS, THE POLICE STOP, USE FORCE, DETAIN, PROSECUTE AND KILL BLACKS IN GROSSLY DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBERS. YET BLACKS RARELY QUESTION THIS EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON AND INEXPLICABLY AND STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT ELITE, WHITE LIBERALS ARE THEIR POLITICAL ALLIES WHO HELP TO ‘PROTECT THEIR RIGHTS.’

ACLU FINDS FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT LIMITED FOR BLACKS IN DC [IN EVERY CITY CONTROLLED BY ELITE WHITE LIBERALS W/A LARGE BLACK POPULATION, COPS STOP AND DEGRADE BLACKS IN GROSSLY DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBERS]

Coy, who is white and had served 20 years on the Columbus, Ohio police force. The judge presiding over the case, Stephen McIntosh, ruled that Coy’s “prior use or non-use of force” could not be discussed during the trial. Judge McIntosh is a liberal judge who is black and is a former prosecutor. The judge ruled that the jury could not hear about Coy’s history, including prior citizen complaints made about his use of force. Coy’s Columbus Division of Police personnel file showed he received 90 citizen complaints during his time with the department, including an incident where he pulled over a suspected drunk driver and slammed the person’s head on the hood of his police cruiser four times. [MORE]

“I thought I was going to die,” he testified. It was only after he rolled over Hill’s body and saw the keys that he realised there was no gun, Coy claimed during trial. “I knew at that point I made a mistake. I was horrified.”

Prosecutors questioned Coy on why he didn't ask Hill his name or call for backup if he was so concerned, CBS affiliate WBNS-TV reported. Coy said that Hill only partially obeyed his commands and was hiding his right hand.

"I thought he was going to draw. I drew my gun and fired four shots," Coy said.

Coy yelled, “Gun, gun, he has a gun!” before drawing his firearm and firing at Hill four times. Coy testified he saw silver metal in Hill’s right hand while Hill had his left hand up with a cellphone in it. 

The metal was Hill’s key ring. He was unarmed.  

The jury did not find the white officer to be credible and rejected his testimony.

Brian A. Steel, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police lodge that represents thousands of law enforcement officers in the county, said that Mr. Coy’s actions in a fast-evolving situation had been based on his training.

“We mourn with the community over the tragic loss of Mr. Hill, but we stand firm in our belief that Officer Coy was subject to political and media bias that no one should face in a court of law,” Mr. Steel said in a statement.

Ben Crump, the Hill family's lawyer, said officers' actions were unforgivable."Where is the humanity for Andre Hill? Where is the humanity for this Columbus citizen who had committed no crime, had no weapon, was unarmed, only holding a cell phone? Where is the humanity for this citizen?

"He offered no verbal commands before he started shooting Andre Hill. He didn't say stop. He didn't say freeze. He didn't say, put your hands up. He didn't give Andre Hill a chance. He didn't give him a chance."

The footage also captures a woman inside the house where Mr Hill was shot telling officers that he had been bringing her Christmas money.

She shouted: "He was bringing me Christmas money. He didn't do anything."

SC Authorities Murder Richard Moore. Racist Suspect Governor Denied Clemency Despite Plea from Jurors, Judge, and Prison Director. DA Removed All Potential Black Jurors in Black Man's Murder Trial

/

From [HERE] South Carolina authorities executed Richard Moore tonight minutes after Gov. Henry McMaster issued an order in which he refused to grant clemency.

More than two dozen people, including two jurors, the trial judge, and the former director of the state corrections department, submitted letters to South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster asking him to spare the life of Richard Moore, who is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection today.

In a clemency petition filed on Wednesday, counsel for Richard Moore, 59, wrote that he deeply regrets taking the life of James Mahoney, a clerk at a Spartanburg convenience store, in September 1999, when he was struggling with drug addiction.

“This is definitely part of my life I wish I could change. I took a life. I took someone’s life. I broke the family of the deceased,” Mr. Moore said in a video interview submitted with his clemency petition. “I pray for the forgiveness of that particular family.”

A Force for Good

Family members, friends, and others who have known and worked with Mr. Moore for years implored the governor to show mercy to a man who, as Jon Ozmint, director of the South Carolina Department of Corrections from 2003 to 2011, wrote, “has proven himself to be a reliable, consistent force for good, on death row.”

The petition describes how Mr. Moore has worked to atone and repair the harm he caused, overcoming his drug addiction and seeking out ministers who guided him in deepening his faith. Since he was baptized in prison, he has mentored other men on death row and encouraged friends and family in their faith. 

Mr. Moore stayed in his children’s lives, helping them with homework through letters and phone calls, and supporting them as his daughter entered the Air Force and his son graduated as valedictorian of his high school and went on to earn a degree at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a loving grandfather who shares virtual visits with his two young granddaughters, who live in Spain. “Even with the physical distance,” his daughter said, “he is very much here and a part of my girls’ lives and my life.”

Mr. Moore’s son wrote that his father “has grown into a person committed to taking responsibility for his actions, and to doing his absolute best to lead a life of faith and good deeds.” He asked the governor to grant his father’s clemency request “so he can serve as an example to get those most at risk of going down a similar path and so he can play as much of a role as possible in the lives of his family.”

With an exemplary record in prison—he’s had no disciplinaries in the past two decades, his attorneys said—Mr. Moore stands out, even to seasoned corrections professionals. Mr. Ozmint, who supports the death penalty, recognized that in his rehabilitation, “our criminal justice system has already achieved its highest and most lofty purpose in the life of Richard Moore.” 

If his sentence were commuted to life in prison, Mr. Ozmint added, ”His story and his manner of living would allow him to be an influential force for good in general population, with an ability to have a positive impact on the most recalcitrant and hopeless of young offenders.”

After hearing about his rehabilitation, two of the jurors who originally sentenced him to death now support a life sentence for Mr. Moore. As juror Doris Robertson wrote, she “would support the decision to commute Mr. Moore’s death sentence to life without the possibility of parole based on the work he has done to rehabilitate himself while incarcerated.” 

Our System Is Broken

Death is the ultimate punishment that is supposed to be reserved for a small subset of murders considered the “worst of the worst.”  Mr. Moore’s petition argues his case does not meet that high bar because, unlike any other death penalty case in the state, “he did not plan to commit a murder, did not bring a weapon into the store, and reacted after being threatened with not one, but two guns already in the store.”

There was no dispute that Mr. Moore was unarmed when he entered the convenience store, but the State alleged at trial that he took a gun from the clerk, fired at a customer, and then fatally shot the clerk in order to rob the store.

Mr. Moore has consistently maintained that he entered the store to make a purchase, but when he was 12 cents short, the clerk ordered him to get out and pulled a gun. Mr. Moore said he automatically reached for the gun, the two men struggled, and the pistol fired before he wrestled it away from the clerk, who pulled another gun and fired at Mr. Moore. 

Shot through the arm, Mr. Moore sought cover and fired “blindly” from behind a pillar toward the clerk. He did not shoot at the customer, who was uninjured. After the shooting stopped, Mr. Moore admitted he went behind the counter and took a bag of money before leaving the store, according to the petition.

An expert crime scene analysis confirmed Mr. Moore’s version of events, the petition notes, but his defense lawyers failed to present it at his 2001 trial. 

Either way, current counsel argues the crime “does not rise to the level of the worst-of-the-worst because he did not enter the store armed.” 

Former South Carolina Supreme Court Justice Kaye Hearn agreed, writing in a 2022 dissent that this case demonstrates that “our system is broken.”

“[E]ntering a convenience store unarmed falls well short of engaging in a cold, calculated, and premeditated murder,” she wrote, adding that it “does not represent the ‘worst of the worst’ in terms of those murders reserved for the death penalty.” In fact, she added, she could not find “any other case involving a defendant receiving the death penalty where he entered the place of business unarmed.” 

Justice Hearn supports commuting Mr. Moore’s sentence, stating, “I do not believe Richard Moore deserves to die.” The fact that he is facing execution, moreover, “tells [her] our system is not working as it should.”

After likewise finding no similar case, the trial judge who originally sentenced Mr. Moore to death also called for clemency. Retired Circuit Court Judge Gary Clary said he has “studied the case of each person who resides on death row in South Carolina” and finds “Moore’s case is unique.”

Mr. Ozmint, also a former prosecutor, wrote that “objectively reviewed, Richard’s crime would never have been considered for the death penalty in most counties in our state.” 

He pointed to “the uncontested fact that Richard did not have a weapon when he entered the store where he shot Mr. Mahoney. So, even if he had planned to steal something from the store, he certainly did not plan to commit an armed robbery.” This fact, along with Mr. Moore’s rehabilitation, led Mr. Ozmint—for the first time ever—to recommend clemency.

Counsel for Mr. Moore also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the execution to review the claim that he was denied a fair trial when prosecutors struck all the Black prospective jurors. The Court has recognized that the potential for racial bias in a death penalty case is heightened when the defendant is Black and the victim is white, as in this case. The Court denied Mr. Moore’s petition yesterday. He is the only Black man on South Carolina’s death row convicted and sentenced by a jury with no Black jurors, according to The Post and Courier.

Human Beings Are Capable of Redemption

Mr. Moore’s lawyers asked a federal judge to transfer clemency power to an impartial board or official, arguing Mr. McMaster could not be fair because he oversaw prosecutors on Mr. Moore’s appeals as attorney general, and in 2022, when an execution date was set for Mr. Moore, the governor told reporters he had no intention of granting him clemency. A federal court denied that request, ruling that the governor has sole power to grant clemency. [MORE]

Journalist Patrick Byrne says [s]Election ‘24 is Rigged. Elites Plan to Install Their Puppet Kamala ["Secret ballots beget secret governments"]

According to FUNKTIONARY:

secret ballots – are evidently designed for people who have something to hide, and always creates or maintains a secret government. Secret ballots beget secret “governments.” (See: VoteScam, Elections, Politics & VNS)

Voting BAG – Ballot Access Games. Those who control the ballot get to add things to it, as well as keep things off of it in order to coerce the outcome and keep it in the “bag.” Joseph Stalin said those who vote are important, but not as important as those who count the votes. (See: Elections, Political Science, Secret Ballot, Agency & Demockracy)

voting booth – the PIT—a place where one takes a Political Ineptitude Test. Haven’t you heard or come to realize that secret ballots beget secret “government.” Until they pay you for your vote, you will pay for (casting) your vote. “I shall not go the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no ‘two evils’ exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can say or do.” ~W.E.B. DuBois, 1956.

voting hoax – “Help Slave America.” “We would do well to remember that voting is often a way not of consenting to something, but only of expressing a preference. If the state gives a group of condemned prisoners the choice of being executed by firing squad or by lethal injection, and all of them vote for firing squad, we cannot conclude from this that the prisoners thereby consent to being executed by firing squad. They do, of course, choose this option; they approve of it, but only in the sense that they prefer it to the other option. They consent to neither option, despising both. Voting for a candidate in a democratic election sometimes has a depressingly similar structure. The state offers you a choice among candidates (or perhaps it is “the people” who make the offer), and you choose one, hoping to make the best of a bad situation. You thereby express a preference, approve of that candidate (over the others), but consent to the authority of no one.” ~A. John Simmons. “It’s not who vote that counts—it’s who counts the votes!” ~J. Stalin. (See: Taxtortion, Freedom Iron Rule, Political Power, Technology, Ph.F.

The US Is Funding 70% of Israel’s Wars

/

From [HERE] A new report by the Israeli outlet Calcalist reviewed Israeli military spending on wars since October 7, finding that Washington is funding 70% of Tel Aviv’s military costs. In a little over a year, the US has provided Israel with more than $20 billion in military aid. 

“The scope of American aid since the beginning of the war is about 85 billion shekels… According to official estimates by the Bank of Israel, the total cost of the war is…approximately NIS 118 billion.” It continues, “Therefore, according to a simple calculation, The Americans financed about 70% of the war effort.”

According to the Cost of War Project, the US has given Israel $22.57 billion in military aid since the Hamas attack. Calcalist concludes without US support, Tel Aviv’s war would simply be unaffordable. 

“There is no doubt that without the American aid the government deficit for the years 2024-2025 (which is one of the highest in the country’s history), would have increased by about 4.3 % GDP, which would have made it unfinanceable,” it says. “Therefore, it is doubtful whether this war would have been conducted as it is – neither in intensity nor in scope – without the American assistance.” [MORE]

Reject Real ID, Digital Money, Biometric Scans and Don’t Ever Use QR Codes

/

From [HERE] “They’re trying to build a control grid and they’re building it in different steps,” Catherine Austin Fitts, founder and publisher of “The Solari Report,” told viewers of “Financial Rebellion” on an episode of “Good Morning, CHD.”

Biometric scans, QR codes, Real ID and digital money — they’re all steps in that process, said Austin Fitts.

“And when they all link together, you are in a digital concentration camp and they can take all of your assets, they can take your kids, they have complete control,” she said.

Some people oppose some steps and not others, Austin Fitts said. Conservatives tend to support a biometric surveillance system at the border, for example. But people don’t understand that the pieces are all part of building a total biometric surveillance system.

Austin Fitts — the former U.S. assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development — cited historian Carol Quigley, who argued that part of the goal of financial capitalism was to concentrate financial control in private hands so that those who controlled the financial system could also control the political system.

Austin Fitts said today this type of control depends on the ability to centrally control the rules of finance. The central bankers are now merging with big tech, creating a control system. “And they’re doing it leg by leg, bit by bit,” Austin Fitts said. “And if you buy into the different bits, it’s going to snap together.”

She likened it to marching into the slaughterhouse. “We are helping to build our own prisons. You’ve got to back out,” she said

Austin Fitts said the key to a successful financial control grid is a high-quality national ID system like the national Real ID, that can be aggregated globally.

Co-host Carolyn Betts explained that in 2005, Congress passed the REAL ID Act, establishing a national system for sharing driver information across states. The system included federal requirements for more onerous forms of identification to obtain a driver’s license. [MORE]

The COVID virus was/is no more dangerous than the flu - It had a similar infection fatality rate. There was No Excess Mortality Anywhere Before the so-called "Vaccination" Rollout- Dr Reiner Fuellmich

/

From The Summary Findings of the Corona Investigative Committee 

Covid measures were never about health

I. The virus is no more dangerous than a flu virus

There are indications that the original virus, allegedly first detected in Wuhan, was artificially produced in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, by means of so-called gain of function experiments. Such experiments intend to make a virus more dangerous, in particular to cause it to jump from animals to humans. These are, in fact, experiments for the production of bioweapons. Among others, the US immunologist Dr. Fauci and the aforementioned German virologist Prof. Dr. Drosten were significantly involved in such gain of function experiments. There are a lot of things that need to be clarified, but this much is certain: The original virus has long since ceased to exist. Rather, as with every flu virus, various variants/mutations have been documented that may spread more quickly, but are all far less dangerous than the original virus—and it doesn’t make a difference if it was artificial or natural. In addition, however, there are considerable doubts that the virus was ever isolated in a scientifically correct manner. Many scientists assume now that the flu virus, or influenza A or B was merely relabeled by Mr. Global into a corona virus pandemic.

Ultimately, however, none of this matters. For the question of the severity or dangerousness of the virus is easy to answer. In the meantime, even the highly controversial WHO, which is in fact controlled by its largest donors (including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and its offshoot GAVI, which together have a stake in almost all vaccine manufacturers in the world), agrees with Prof. John Ioannidis of Stanford University, one of the most cited scientists in the world: the severity of the virus, with a so-called infection fatality rate of 0.14 to 0.15%, corresponds with that of the flu. There was no excess mortality anywhere before the beginning of the so-called vaccinations.

As far as there were isolated increases or spikes in mortality, for example in Bergamo, Italy and in New York, these are explained with massive medical malpractice: In Bergamo predominantly very old people with pre-existing conditions in nursing homes had died. Their immune systems had previously been weakened by vaccinations, and then – in order to keep the hospitals free for the panic-stricken Covid patients (who never arrived) – sick people, including influenza patients, were transferred to the elderly care homes. These then infected the weakened people there. In addition, the WHO had installed Rainieri Guerra into the Italian Ministry of Health, who falsified the data of the pandemic exercise plans: Their last pandemic exercise had not taken place in 2016, but in 2006, so that the medical professionals were unprepared. In the meantime, he is not working at the ministry of health anymore, but the Italian public prosecutor’s office is investigating him.

In New York – as every year during flu season – some, but by no means all, hospitals were overcrowded. On the hospital ship Comfort with 1000 beds available no more than 20 to 40 beds were ever occupied. In New York it also affected predominantly older people, with pre-existing morbidities. Without the panic messages in the media, many people, who would have stayed at home and cured themselves under the – correct – assumption that they were ill with a flu or a flu-like illness, stormed some of the hospitals and fell victim to either hospital germs or massive medical malpractice by for example intubation instead of receiving oxygen with oxygen masks, or with far too high dosages of Hydroxychloroquine or being treated with dangerous medications such as Remdesivir.

Of course, respiratory illnesses including this one, which is now called Covid-19 are, like the flu, dangerous diseases. And, of course, Covid-19, just like the seasonal flu, has individual, severe courses of illness and also deaths. Typically, however, the immune system intercepts the virus and especially the highly toxic spike protein in the mouth and nose. It only becomes dangerous when the immune system is bypassed and the – mind you: highly toxic – spike protein, but also other ingredients such as mRNA and lipids, and other nanoparticles, are injected directly into the body.

In any case, as post-mortem examinations carried out in Germany have shown in the meantime, the people who allegedly died with or from Covid before the start of the vaccinations – with few exceptions – had all passed the average human life expectancy and/or suffered from other serious pre-existing diseases. Virtually none of the people who allegedly died of Covid had actually died from Covid. 96% of the people who allegedly died of Covid in New York and Bergamo and 85% of those in Sweden had died from completely different diseases.
