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?

Everyone who dares protect themselves from the mob will be charged by democrats.

OMG he did!
Jake Gardner, man charged in Scurlock death, has died by suicide, sources say
That poor man.
Well I guess we will wait and see what the “new” evidence” they claim to have uncovered entails.
30% minority population...Wonder what percentage was grand jury????
Bastards, they killed him.
WHAT!?!
And just now learned he committed suicide.
There is no justice in the society, folks. I can only recommend to buy weapons and ammo.

Didn’t save Gardner
BREAKING: Omaha Bar Owner Charged For Killing Rioter Who Attacked Him and His Business Has Committed Suicide
He committed suicide. They are responsible for this.
They sure did.
“Franklin bowed to pressure and dug up evidence and came up with charges.
“The manslaughter charge, he said, is related to Scurlock’s death; the attempted assault charge resulted from the second warning shot Gardner fired; the charge of making terrorist threats is linked to ‘a verbal confrontation’ that Gardner had with Scurlock, Franklin continued,” Yahoo reports.”
This is so bad.
“And i’d rather have black men on my jury than white women at this point in time”
I have served once on a jury in my 76 years, it was a civil damages case and I was made foreman. After that experience I would hate to rely on any jury and I don’t want to have anything decided by women whether black or white. It was eye opening to say the least.

Another innocent victim of the maoists.
I think the DA who pushed this indictment should be charged by a special vigilante prosecutor, deemed guilty, and sent to the equal outcome sentence.
He’s dead.
