I don’t Maryland State Attorney will actually prosecute the two people. Instead, the State Attorney will just use the threat of prosecution to get YouTube, Fox, and Talk Radio not to air the anti-Acorn tapes.

They sure were quick to investigate the filmmaker. Wonder why it is taking so long for these same people to investigate ACORN?

We don't need to look for a conflict of interest.

These are not the Obama supporters we are looking for.

I devoutly pray that the state attorney general of Maryland would be so foolish as to prosecute these investigative journalists.

Funny, what a search will turn up:

-ACORN Watch: The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office warped priorities--

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 11, 2009 11:10 PM

The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office issued a statement tonight indicating that it may prosecute the Big Government undercover team that conducted one of its ACORN/prostitution stings in B’more.

Yes, really.

The young reporters could face up to five years in jail for violating Maryland’s wiretap laws.

Reader John Muraro notes that the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office was responsible for handling the Zachary Sowers murder case, which I blogged about last year. He was pummeled into a coma by a gang of teenage thugs and later died of his massive injuries. Three of the four remorseless attackers were allowed to plea bargain down to eight years each in jail.

John sums up the warped priorities:

So:

· undercover investigation by the conservative reporter = reporters may serve 5 years in jail

· the animalistic beating of a young man by 4 thugs, resulting in 9 months of suffering and his death = plea bargained to 8 years in jail

That’s a rather peculiar sense of justice.

Yes, yes it is.

Baltimore City State’s Attorney Patricia Jessamy can be reached at mail@stattorney.org or (410) 396-4001.

***

Allahpundit looks at the statute the ACORN-protecting officials in Maryland want to use and notes:

You’ll find exception after exception provided for law enforcement to shield them from liability when they tape criminals surreptitiously to serve the public interest. Kind of like how O’Keefe did here.

It would be a shame if Zer0bonehead and his similarly tainted acolytes decide to make this a black-vs-white issue, as the article linked here seems to imply. What a gross irony and horrible legacy for the first black American President, elected as the "great uniter"... supposedly our first "post-racial" Commander in Chief... were it to turn out that he's actually nothing more than a race-baiting divider spoiling for a fight with white-capitalist America.

I was about to write "nothing more and nothing less" but that would have been a redundancy and consequently a malaprop; there is nothing less than a race-baiting divider; it's as low a form of human life as one can descend to, right down there with the kind of soul-less human filth who would aid and abet a ring of criminals planning to smuggle kidnapped children into America to feed the flesh-eating jaws of the SEX SLAVE TRADE.

When such rank fraud and vile criminality is exposed, and the response of the (Obama and ACORN supporting) State's Prosecutor is that she may just have to prosecute the whistleblowers who had the guts to expose the corrupt misuse of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF TAXPAYER MONEY, then there may just be real conflict brewing. I'll bet that more than a few righteously indignant and justifiably pissed-off American Patriots would be willing to fight this kind of openly criminal crap in America. In fact, by latest estimate, there're over eighty million (80,000,000+) of 'em. Patriotic Americans who agree with the whole "protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic..." including the 2nd Amendment. There is arguably no greater fight in all of human history, in all of the world.

Not polite, sign waving political discourse, but straight up, 100% pure, good-vs-evil, black and white, in your face, time to stand up for what good is left in this stinking cesspool the Liberals have made of America.

I have a distinct feeling that the Lib side should consider carefully their next moves here. Far more hangs in the balance than they know, and their opponents are the ones who actively believe in and practice the Constitution... all of it. They would be clearly picking a fight they simply and demonstrably cannot win. We all know how shamefully under-educated and truly stupid they are. Unanswered, however, remains the question; "Could they really be that stupid?!"

I say, let's do see, shall we? Simply top viewing, mate!

Good to know that it's illegal to videotape anyone without their explicit consent in Maryland.

So, there are no illegal surveillance cameras at any, oh, I don't know, let's say... banks in Maryland, right? 7-11's or Cumberland Farms? Gas stations? Traffic cams? At toll booths? No casino's with illegal "eye-in-the-sky" watchdog vid? And certainly no police cruisers with video camera's mounted in their cruisers, illegally taping the public wihout prior explicit consent, right?

Would I ever love to litigate this one...

Perhaps it is legal to tape people with the explicit purpose of crime prevention/detection? Hmmm....

I have another video of her, and I have sent it to Glenn and Stu about 7 hours ago.

If she goes the nuclear option like they are threatening, against those two undercover citizen-reporters blowing the ACORN scam wide open, then this (other) video I found is going to be most enjoyable to see, and this State Attorney Patricia Jessamy is going to be most embarrassed. I am not going to post the link here yet until it has made the rounds and been adequately archived and is fully out there so they cannot scrub it.

The entire North Eastern seaboard needs to be walled off and left to stew in it’s own filth.

As a resident I would like to say that Baltimore and Prince George’s County have given the rest of Maryland a bad name.

The vast numbers of voters of these two places mean that the rest of us are outvoted. Certainly Maryland has plenty of liberals, but they are disproportionately located in Baltimore and Prince Georges Counties.

These two areas are a bit like Maryland’s ,South Africa.

Whether or not the blind prosecutors try to prosecute O’Keefe and his colleague, these events should be a rallying cry for all Americans, individually and collectively, to root out Acorn and its corrupt, criminal activities.

Across the nation—wherever Acorn commits crimes—using and audio and video taping, covert observations, documentation and exposure for public scrutiny.

Acorn is trying to assassinate the United States.

Where we make our mistake is assuming that the democrats come from a stance of using the law...to them the law is irrelevant, it is the punishment. The oppression of opposing views that matters. When law is a good tool for their evil purposes they use it, when law is in the way they change it or even ignore it. The focus however, is not that they use law but that they do evil. That is what matters. Getting dragged into the details of how they do that sometimes provides them cover with their own bullsh**. We must focus on the evil intent, the oppression. It is the only way to successfully fight them. Otherwise we fight on their ground all the time.
