Back in May, a Nebraska man named Jake Gardner was allegedly assaulted, along with his elderly father, by Black Lives Matter protesters outside their family-owned bar.
In the scuffle, Gardner shot and killed a young black man named James Scurlock, who had reportedly climbed onto his back and put him in a choke hold.
Charges against Gardener were not pursued on the grounds of self-defense, but now a grand jury has reversed that decision and indicted Gardner.
Immediately following the incident, Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine announced that he would not be filing charges against Gardner. He told the media that his investigation, which included a review of surveillance footage, indicated that Gardner acted in self-defense.
But Kleine received complaints from citizens, according to KMTV, and he agreed to appoint special prosecutor Frederick Franklin III and form a grand jury…
Idon’t know if this is a plot twist, but it certainly seems worth mentioning. When I was doing research for this story, I was surprised to learn that Jake Gardner was a volunteer worker on Trump’s 2016 campaign in Michigan, Nebraska, and California. I had not heard this in prior reports.
Could this have something to do with the complaints received by the county attorney and the appointment of a special prosecutor? Would anyone really be surprised?

this was the case where the DA initially refused to indict then the same old crowd screamed so he sent it to the grand jury another innocent man’s life ruined by the domestic terrorists and their backers in office who are on their side.
Second amendment don’t mean a thing if they start criminalizing self defense. Be ware of this movement going on around the country. I mean if it happens in Nebraska lol
Sounds like a Soros owned not-so Grand Jury.
No mention of the jury’s demographics . . . hmmmm
Look at the color of the blm and antifa protesters.
demographics don’t matter as much as they once did now that so many white people are morons
A political prosecution brought about by a bevy of cowards.
And i’d rather have black men on my jury than white women at this point in time
Good point, but would still be interested in seeing the breakdown.
Scary!!!
Good comments, at article link....about CCW insurance, etc.
a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich.
Railroading Alert!
“...But Kleine received complaints from citizens,”
IOW, the local Entitlement Community threatened to riot.
channel 6 news omaha says jake gardner has killed himself
That was my first thought.
Wow, even Cornhuskers no longer believe in self-defense.
It’s getting closer to that “Third Box”.
well, the magic word, TRUMP SUPPORTER, settles it once and for all. HE IS GUILTY. (sarc)
Prosecutorial abuse.
