Justice is served.Also, the DA says he is still considering charges against Wolfe, the first cop to hit Kelly.
The Orange County DA is prosecuting it himself.
Well, I think this guy means business.No possible conflict of interest there. Nope.
All such cases should have a special prosecutor and fuck the locals. When those NYC cops murdered Amadou Dialo, Morgenthau's office prosecuted. I listened, blow by blow on WBAI and it became embarrassingly apparent that the Manhattan DA had NO interest in the case. And so naturally the murderers skated. The whole trial was a massive travesty put on for show purposes only, and not a very good effort at that; further evidence of the profound depth of the DA's contempt for the people of NYC. It was enough to make we hope that hell truly exists so that I can be there to torment them into eternity. There is nothing worse on the planet than a criminal operating under the impunity of the state imprimatur. Child molesters are as God himself in comparison with these filth. It appears the human race will indeed never learn its lessons.
Exactly.Why didnt we merely educate the British instead of fighting them when we declared independence?
Exactly.
I don't wish to seem cross, but many in the freedom movement badly need a reality check:
(1) Freedom is not something you beg and plead for. It's not something you try to get by "reasoning" with the power-mad. Freedom is something that has to be TAKEN. If you can only get freedom by begging for it, then you're not really free at all, since even if you're granted privileges in response to your begging, those privileges can be taken away by FORCE at any time. To use an analogy, a dog on a 50-foot leash isn't any more free than a dog on a 5-foot leash, since the dog on the long leash CAN be put on a short leash whenever its master decides to do so.
(2) The only way to take freedom is through (a) the implicit threat of force, (b) the explicit threat of force, or (c) the actual use of force.
(3) Force has to be either economic or physical. If a population can't win its freedom and guarantee justice through economic means (such as boycotts), then its ONLY hope is to use violence.

Assault is a lesser included offense of murder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_included_offense. It's the same reason Cicinelli isn't charged with battery. Besides, murder is the big prize. The assault was probably a misdemeanor.Do you think? Lets see: he begins with singing the praises of OC police. He then alerts us that they will not be prosecuting the other officers. He clearly and explicitly notes that Kelly Thomas was in fear for his life based on what Ramos threatened. That is assault, yet there were no assault charges on the litany. These earn him a significant credibility fail. Time, I suppose, will tell. I hope those two burn big time.
Torture, you say?Yes, the felony murder rule. Eligible felonies are arson, robbery, burglary, carjacking, train wrecking, kidnapping, mayhem, torture, rape, unlawful acts of sodomy, unlawful acts of oral copulation, forcible acts of penetration, and lewd acts with a minor.
Exactly. I wonder if they will ever release why they were originally called to the scene in the first place. Tresspassing? Loitering? Suspicious person? This case leaves me at a loss for words sometimes.Getting away from all of the positioning surrounding this fiasco, it's just plain wrong!
There's been some kind of breakdown in morals/ethics/logic and even law for just one of these incidents to take place let alone repeatedly.
Yeah, that part piqued my curiosity too. Here's the definition in California law:Torture, you say?
+rep. My laziness is getting a reputation of it's own.Yeah, that part piqued my curiosity too. Here's the definition in California law:
"Every person who, with the intent to cause cruel or extreme pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion, or for any sadistic purpose, inflicts great bodily injury as defined in Section 12022.7 upon the person of another, is guilty of torture."
