Only one charged with murder. The rest charged with various charges from manslaughter on down

When there were great patriotic democratic politicians, nowadays an in extinction specie, senator for New York, Daniel Patrick Moynihan excelled among them. He warned the destruction of the Black family nucleus that gave us, even living in dire poverty, figures of the caliber of Justice Clarence Thomas.

“The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.” Dem. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (In office January 3, 1977 – January 3, 2001)

“The liberal left can be as rigid and destructive as any force in American life. Dem. senator Daniel Moynihan

Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the root causes of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.

Baltimore Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, ordered the police: to “stand down” “LET THEM LOOT. IT’ S ONLY PROPERTY”. We saw hell explode after the Black democratic mayor gave the thugs carte blanche to destroy the city. The police weren’t allowed to defend the city. More than 100 officers were injured, some seriously.

Why the Baltimore riots, looting and destruction of their own Black neighborhoods? Did the Blacks doubted for a moment that the Black establishment in control of Baltimore will fail to condemn the officers to the highest penalty allowed by Law? Four of the six accused officers are the ones charged with manslaughter. Of those 4, three are Blacks and one is White. Their heads will be presented to the mobs in a silver plate to placate the rabble of noisy angry thugs.

Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and “community organizers” followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” strategy.

Obama is the most racist and divisive president in our history. Obama does not want unity. He wants to keep the country as polarized and disoriented as possible. Obama has been inflaming racial tension since he took power. According Alinisky’s tactics adopted by Obama, change has to be brought through relentless agitation and “trouble making” of a kind that radically disrupts society as it is.

David Horowitz' excellent recently published pamphlet "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model" offers keen insights into Alinsky and what it might mean when Alinsky followers are in positions of power. The conclusions he reaches are not pleasant but are borne out by current events, public utterances of the president, his history, and the work of Alinsky himself.

What we are seeing is the most radical President in our country’s history who is unable to govern because governing is not his purpose. The Alinskyite, ever the destroyer of institutions, cannot govern because governments and societies are built upon institutions.

We wonder if Baltimore’s schools are forming thugs instead of educating the students for a fruitful and productive life? In Baltimore, taxpayers are currently spending $16,578 per year for each pupil in the city’s public schools. Not only is this 48% more than the national average of $10,608, but it’s more than any other country on the face of the earth spends on public education.

Nationwide according to the FBI in 2011, 193 blacks were killed by whites, 448 White killed by Blacks while 2,447 blacks were killed by blacks. That is 2.3 times more whites killed by blacks than the other way around despite the fact that there’s six times as many whites in this country.

Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral? Did our condolences in chief has ever called the parents of so many Whites killed by Blacks?

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke: Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore

Not holding back one bit. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says O is “quietly enjoying” what’s going on in Baltimore because he’s a ‘promoter of division’ and has ‘benefitted politically’ from ‘dividing’ people.

Sheriff Clarke points out all the times President Obama has pitted one group of Americans against another. He also questions why Obama didn’t come out and speak about the Baltimore riots earlier. He was interviewed here on the Mark Levin Show

Clarke: Change In Baltimore Should Start With “Failed Liberal Democrat Policies”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3284755/posts

Breitbart.com ^ | April 30,2015 | Ian Hanchett

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) blasted “failed liberal government policies” for miring people in cities like Baltimore in “generational poverty” and argued that change in Baltimore “needs to start in the politics, the failed liberal Democrat policies” on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

#1, I don’t think he had a “switchblade” at all. I won’t believe it until I see it, and am convinced of the chain of custody. Otherwise, I’m going to suspect a “drop knife” used to give credence to the bust.

And in general, I don’t think pro RKBA conservatives should ever go along with getting in the weeds on what constitutes an illegal knife. Sheesh. A knife. Good lord. You should see what I carry.

So you are one of those people who can’t follow legal analysis or think it unimportant. Bad criminals often get off on technicalities and we accept it. The DA shouldn’t make the police criminals by lying about this technicality.

“I did but also read there were more warrants”

Well,
The Treehouse is covering everything very closely, and I’ve seen no mention of additional warrants. If you find a kink to them, please let me know?
Thanks,
Bogie

You misspelled “marital.” I see the word every time I pass the Marshal’s downtown office. There is a store across the street that sells “marital aids” for the deputies. SO THERE!

“Are you sure it’s not Martial Dillon?”

Did I misspell ‘Marshal’? Should it be Martial Law? I don’t mind being corrected. It’s one of the ways I learn.

the citizens of Baltimore are going to pay dearly all around before this is over years from now. The lawyers will rejoice, the cops will be outraged and the family of Mr. Gray will be devastated with their loss.

All due,in my opinion to gross ineptitude and mismanagement of the administrative officials that run their jurisdiction.

Nobody wins here....nobody at all.

The state law definition of a switchblade is:

“a knife or a penknife having a blade that opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button, spring, or other device in the handle of the knife, commonly called a switchblade knife or a switchblade penknife”

The Baltimore Muni Code definition is:

“any knife with an automatic spring or other device for opening and/or closing the blade, commonly known as a switch-blade knife.”

They both use the “other device” catchall, but the state law would require it to be in the handle, so you could argue the city’s version is less restrictive.

One other reason a municipality passes its own redundant version of a state law is because it isn’t satisfied with the way the county or state is prosecuting violations, and wants to be able to prosecute those cases itself. It may be a PITA to get the DA’s office to file on a simple possession case, but the City Attorney’s office is right down the hall.

So there’s his entire article....must be he was simply posting a portion of that as I read just a portion he posted in a comment section, or someone wrote on a site.

I agree with some of his writing on the matter though I don’t think it can apply to all....it really does matter they become educated...and move beyond the neighborhoods that will always bring them down.

Those I know wouldn’t think of living in those neighborhoods because they are sooo drug infested. So the sooner they can get they are out of them.

What are you talking about? You obviously have no clue. Tell me, how exactly, did they break the law? What should be the punishment?

Do you have a source for the warrants? I’m not doubting your word, I just hadn’t seen that before. If so, it sure puts a new light on things.

Thanks for that info on the definition of a switch blade. How did this idiot prosecutor get this so wrong? The charge of illegal imprisonment should be thrown out at the probable cause hearing.
