Biz Pac Review ^ | 4/25/14

A high-dollar Obama donor who was caught on video brutally beating his girlfriend got off with 25 hours of community service last week after he pled guilty to domestic battery charges.

CCTV footage caught Gurbaksh Chahal, the CEO of San Francisco tech startup RadiumOne, kicking his girlfriend 117 times, including blows to the head, and trying to smother her with a pillow during a vicious 30-minute assault.

He faced 45 felony charges until the footage was deemed inadmissible. As a result, Chahal has managed to avoid jail time, the Daily Mail reported on Thursday.

Chahal’s political contributions indicate more liberal sensibilities. He has donated more than $100,000 since 2011, all of which went the Democratic Party and Democratic candidates. Those contributions include $81,600 to the Democratic National Committee and $5,000 to President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign.

He is known to entertaining big wigs to Las Vegas using his own luxurious plane. There was a short story about him on local TV.

All because they obtained the video without a warrant. There wasn’t enough evidence? She wouldn’t testify? Crazy. People get more time for being pulled over drunk.

Poor reporting (not telling us why the film was excluded as evidence). Wonder if the “fix” was in on this case?

I would put nothing beyond a Democrat, esp. one from California.

Lol. Well said !!!
There have been a bunch of photos of this clown in the news lately and every single one of them screams "pretentious poser".
I reckon a lot of real men would like to "talk" to his "tough guy" on the subject of beating up on women.

Chahal is living proof that the Democrat Party’s continuing War On Women considers that attempted First Degree Murder of a close personal female friend by a high-tech Obama donor does not rise to the level of punishment due to a more serious crime, such as the recent perceived racist slight by AG Holder, a MALE Democrat in good Party standing, of course.

Did I mention that Holder has been a well-paid lawyer, back in the day?

In Holder’s current day job, criminal punishment is not that important anymore - - - .

BTW, compare the number of TV minutes that the Democrat’s Left Wing Media will spend on these two “stories” in April and May.

BTW, BTW, will that help prove that the Democrat Party Members find that what one says is more important than what one does?
