I wonder if the reason he did himself in is because he knew that he was probably a dead man once he got to prison anyway? Given a stark choice between choosing your own ending, and the sort of ending that he thought he was likely to get from angry African American fellow inmates in prison...
At any other time he would not have done this, but Covid, the riots, evil everywhere and the feeling that there is no justice in the US anymore.....my heart breaks for him.
Very sad.
Dear God, how awful.
The left has more blood on its hands.
The wife suffered 3rd degree burns over 60 percent of her body. The daughter suffered 2nd degree burns:
Omaha woman says dad told her 'I will hurt you more than you ever will know' before lighting fire
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, these f'n Judges are responsible for more deaths and injuries than a cop could ever be. They need a taste of their own medicine.
Praying for him and his family.
So tragic
Appalling. RIP.
Charge the Leftist lynch mob in the death of their comrade.
I have no doubt that it could be shown THEY were making terrorist threats.
They would have held him in the Douglas County jail which is an absolute hell hole that is run by a Democrat operative. The Omaha World-Herald has blood on it’s hands as well for fanning the flames when they knew this kid was in the right.
The left is criminalizing self defense. It’s as blatant an attack on freedom as is the ongoing attack on the 2nd Amendment.
Wow that’s a damn shame.
Did that human filth - George Soros put one of his thug prosecutors in office in Omaha? The ones that let criminals go and punish innocent citizens?
The Asst Federal Prosecutor leading the Grand Jury:
Veteran federal prosecutor to lead grand jury probe into James Scurlock’s death
Franklin, a Chicago native, is a 1986 graduate of the Creighton University School of Law who has served as an attorney since that time.
Franklin will lead the presentation of evidence and the law to the grand jurors. The grand jurors then will deliberate outside of his presence to decide whether to bring charges against Gardner.
Franklin has been an assistant U.S. attorney in Nebraska federal courts for 22 years and has served as the president of the Midlands Bar Association, an organization of black attorneys.
The appointment of a special prosecutor became necessary when Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine petitioned for the process. Kleine initially said on June 1 that he would not bring charges and did not think it necessary to have a grand jury review the case.
So now Jake Gardner is dead.
here may be a reason:
“Kleine has questioned why Gardner didn’t just stay behind his bouncer after the windows of his bar were broken out. But based on the video of the struggle, he said, he determined that Gardner fired in self-defense.”
“The owner of the building has since evicted Gardner. No date has been set for the grand jury investigation.”
“John Friend, clerk of the Douglas County District Court, said the grand jury likely will not convene for a couple of months, in part because of concerns about the coronavirus outbreak”
—
He was forced to defend himself against a Federal Prosecutor and he was evicted from his place of business and his livelihood was destroyed. He knew the intent of the grand jury was to crush him financially and prosecute him in a hostile environment. He was facing jail time after a long struggle. So he killed himself. What a horrible end.
This #ComDem_Insanity MUST END!
When these charges are brought against a person acting out of self-defense in Omaha, Nebraska, we have truly entered a state of mob rule. Unbelievable.
The message being sent is that if you’re going to be charged for defending yourself against thugs, you may as well make it worth your while and take out bunch of them and/or the corrupt officials supporting the thugs.
What the left is doing is turning regular people against the police and the legal establishment. After the charges against this guy and Kyle Rittenhouse, how many are going to think again about going to the police after acting in self defense as opposed to keeping quite and slipping away unseen if they can?
those rioters and especially those who allowed it are responsible for this young man's death...
