A video is released showing the killing of a black man in a small Georgian town. Is the outrage warranted?

Former New Jersey governor, Chris Christy, gets a victory from the Supreme Court based on the Bridge-gate scandal.

A Texas salon owner, jailed for opening her store, is released from jail and prompts the the Texas governor to ban jail for those opening their businesses. This brings us to the real question: What is a necessary job? My girlfriend and I had a big fight over this one.

And the Michael Flynn drama is finally over. The media is flipping out.

 

At First Sight

Back in February, a 25-year old black man named Ahmaud Arbery was jogging through a coastal town neighborhood in Georgia.

He was stopped by three people in two cars and accused of burglury. A struggle ensued and Arbery she shot and killed. The case was investigated and, amazingly, forgotten. It was never in the news. The men were father Greg McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael.

The entire time, Arbery’s mother had claimed that her son was innocent and was murdered.

This week, a video was released of the shooting. The video shows Arbery running with a truck stopped in front of him In the bed of the truck is an older man with a handgun and the driver out of the car with a shotgun.

Arbery tried to run around the passenger side of the truck then a struggle ensued with the man wit the shot gun. Arbery ended up shot twice. The video was taken by one of the people who were there to confront Arbery.

Here is a quick look at the facts:

• One of the men was a detective and investigator for the DA of the county.
• The men claimed there were two shots when the video showed that there were three shots.
• The men claimed that they were on the side of the road when Arbery was shot when, in fact, the truck was stopped in the middle of the street, blocking Arbery’s way.
• They said they suspected Arbery in a string of burgleries in the neighborhood. According to records, there weren’t any string of robberies in the neighborhood.

This looks bad. And now that the video came out, two district attornies have recused themselves and a DA from another county has called for a grand jury. This is going to trial.

Of course, the media is making this into a race thing. It might be but we don’t know. What we do know is that the kid was running through a construction site. So what? That not a crime. I run through a lot of places when I run. And what is he going to steal?

There’s going to be more to come on this one. I have a feeling that there might be a protest or two coming in the near future as more information comes out.

As I am talking about this, the father and son who killed Arbery have been arrested and charged with murder. I guess I should have enacted to Bongino rule and waited a day.

Do You Even Remember This?

On Thursday, the Supreme Court unanimously agreed to overturn federal convictions in the infamous “Bridgegate scandal” from 2013, where two toll lanes on the George Washington Bridge were inexplicably closed, resulting in a massive traffic pile-up. Later, it was revealed that several of then-Governor Chris Christie’s allies were involved in the closure, which was allegedly enacted as a political retaliation against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not endorsing Christie for governor.

According to Fox News, former New Jersey officials Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni were acquitted by the Supreme Court on federal charges of fraud for closing the George Washington Bridge. Though the court acknowledged that the lane closure was enacted for political purposes against the Fort Lee mayor, the action was not tantamount to criminal fraud in light of the fact that they were not out to obtain money or property.

“The question presented is whether the defendants committed property fraud. The evidence the jury heard no doubt shows wrongdoing – deception, corruption, abuse of power,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote in the court’s unanimous opinion. “But the federal fraud statutes at issue do not criminalize all such conduct.”

Of course, Chris Christy is calling this a major victory and an absolution of the sins of his people. It wasn’t. It was unethical and probably happened just the way it was claimed but we can’t call it fraud or corruption because mney wasn’t involved.

Who cares. New Jersey is a crappy state anyway.

Why Is Every Tyrant a Democrat?

Shelley Luther was sentenced Tuesday to a week in jail and a $7,000 fine for opening her salon in defiance of state orders, The Daily Wire reported.

Republican Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has since amended his executive orders so Texans who attempt to work against state orders will not be subject to confinement.

Eric Moye is a Left-wing hack.
