If only Harrison Floyd’s first name were George. If only he’d been a convicted felon who passed a counterfeit bill, filled himself with illegal drugs, and resisted arrest. If that were the case, he’d have had millions of dollars flowing to him from Hollywood and Democrat politicians, and he’d have been a media hero. However, Harrison Floyd isn’t a thug of color. Instead, he’s a retired Marine vet, living with his family and getting by on his pension. And he’s also a black Trump supporter, which is why he’s rotting in a Fulton County jail.
One of the important things to remember about all this Democrat criminal lawfare against anyone who dared support Donald Trump is that it’s intended to destroy them economically. A great lawyer can cost close to $1,000 per hour (although, if he’s decent, he’ll hand the work to young lawyers and paralegals who will cost $300-$400 an hour). A good lawyer will cost about $400 an hour. A mediocre lawyer will cost about $250 per hour.
What this means for a client is that even a single court appearance on a simple matter (preparing documents, travel time, time spent in the courtroom) can result in a $1,000 to $4,000 bill. On a single complicated motion, you’re looking at $25,000 to $100,000 in legal fees. (Maybe more; I haven’t worked on a big case in about 15 years.)
If you’re rich, you can probably absorb this for years. If you’re middle-class, you can absorb this for months before your savings are exhausted, and you are no longer middle-class. And if you’re poor, you can’t afford this at all. Moreover, the public interest lawyers who line up to represent the George Floyds of this world tend to be leftists. They’re not going to volunteer their services

He may want to consider making the issue more visible in ways that only he can.
Liberal lawyers don’t work for free. They’re paid out by the liberal billionaires.
As for Floyd the judge is making him sit in jail.
Worst part is, they give signature bonds to guys that have committed violent crimes, in that place.
Could be. Sometimes the acoustics aren’t all that great.
>Floyd turned himself in but said he couldnt afford a lawyer......
he said the judge told him he should hire a lawyer or represent himself.<
To top it off, the Public Defenders Office turned him down. How can this be? The Miranda Rights say
“if you cannot afford one, one will be provided”. It does not say “if we think you cannot afford one”.
I can “afford” to buy lots of stuff if I don’t have to buy food, support my child, pay taxes, pay for health insurance, pay for shelter.....you know, the little stuff. The dude lives off a military disability pension.
I hope Judge Macafee is enjoying his vacation while the wrong Floyd rots in jail. He better hope nothing happens to Mr Floyd or the summer of love might reignite itself in Hotlanta.

This man, this Hamilton Floyd, is a TRUE HERO.
DA Fani Willis is a modern day slave catcher.
Because it might be considered witness tampering.
“In the film Harriet about the heroic life and accomplishment of Harriet Tubman, there is a controversial scene showing a Black bounty hunter that is hunting slaves. Many people who viewed the film were disappointed with this scene, and have raised the question of whether or not Black bounty hunters also known as “trackers” or “slave catchers” really existed. Well, the answer to that question is “yes”.”
Which describes Fani Willis to a “T”.
He’s paying for Walt Nauta & Carlos De Olivera’s. Why would that not be a conflict?
The judge/prosecutor Fani would likely charge Trump with witness tampering.
<>Why doesn’t a conservative lawyer offer to represent him?<>
A real fear of getting disbarred.
