The whole press conference was fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to transcribe it.
Took a while.
Obviously, I watched the vid a bunch of times. I was deeply impressed by his honesty. But man, I felt sorry for him, you can feel his utter frustration...
If all the courts are going to do with a guy like this is treat him like he was a 14 year old who stole an IPod, what the heck is even the point of having the courts in the first place?
The guy is a predator. Somewhere along the line, a bunch of red flags should have gone off. Big time.
And a cookie-cutter justice system, a bunch of lawyers “Well, ya win some, ya lose some...” that kind of attitude is far LESS than the public needs.deserves or even pays for.
Something gotta change.
God Bless this Sheriff. And get a concealed permit.
Thank you for doing the transcript - the Enemedia would not do it, being commie gun grabbers.
I’d suggest we all email the Sheriff and thank him for what he said.
Thanks for taking the time to transcribe this.
I MUST get out of this stupid state.....
There was a time, at least in the South, the Sheriff would make a phone call letting someone know where his keys would be at a time he and his men would be taking a break in the back room. Pigs like this would be found hanging in their jail cell. A suicide, of course.
And sometimes it would be a criminal and sometimes it would be someone the sheriff did not like.
This Sheriff is absolutely telling the truth. I hope it starts a trend when other police leadership come out and tell the public the truth about what the hell is going on their judicial system.
Failed war on drugs now becomes war on Constitution and citizens
Revolving door prosecution letting violent criminals back on the street with little or no punishment, multiple times. Private practice attorneys flourish and making a killing from repeat offenders.
High crime rates have forced police departments to have more staff and as a result, they are hiring people who would never be considered for law enforcement. Political hiring running rampant as well.
To maintain the war on drugs, police agencies have had to resort to things like fixed radar posts and red light cameras to generate revenue, which have exorbitant fines.
Because of weak prosecution, and still very high crime rate, citizens have lost all faith in the judicial system to protect them from repeat offenders. Whereas twenty years ago there was not such a hue and cry for citizens to arm themselves for everyday concealed carry, more and more people are doing it and even considering open carry of rifles. And yet the judicial system remains willingly ignorant or cognizant of this.
Angry mobs of people with firearms tend to have summary court, guilt finding, sentence, and execution in a very short period of time. The problem becomes when those mobs fully realize the expediency of their methods and that ANY offense can be a hangin’ offense.
Well said. Too bad Walter Monroe Lance can’t read. Bet he knows what the pointy end of a gun is, though.
The criminal justice system is broken. If it gets any more broken, people are going to start ignoring it entirely and dealing with criminals “privately”.
It’s happened in the past, not much, but it has happened. I barely recall a case in Texas?? years ago when some guy was a troublemaker. EVERYBODY in town HATED this dude. And in truth, he was a first class SOB,
One afternoon he’s downtown and there’s a crowd around, a shot rings and and he falls over dead.
The police ask tons of questions.
Nobody saw nothin.
The police keep asking questions.
Nobody saw nothin,
Police finally have to give up cause nobody saw nothin.
IIRC, they made a movie about it.
Isn’t it also a legal defense in Georgia that you can bring up in court that the victim in some cases is somebody who “needed killin”? I seem to recall hearing that...
That's Texas.
I forget where this occured, but it wasn’t in Texas.
I probably got it bass ackwards, eh?
Thanks.
I’ve also heard you know rumors of cases of people who just disappear...
I live in Western Washington state and there’s Indian res territory nearby, they own a couple sections, 3 or 4. (1Mi X 1MI) along the White river, you hear stories that there have been a few folks who have come to their final resting place buried a few feet down deep in the woods over there.
I’ve done a little bit of fishing and some hiking over there (lots of brown bear) and tell ya what, if somebody did get killed and skedaddled in those woods, LE ain’t never gonna find them...
Here in California, I’d be happy to have my right to open carry back.
Seriously? You don’t have a right to bear arms in CA?
When did CA become part of the Soviet Union?
Most of the time, at least in my area, it was both.
