That screenshot was not "immediately" deleted.. it was up for hours.. I know because the ugly

post was Bragging about getting a Hide on Me. And, of course, it was "condemned" after people got a load of what's going on over there.. "I simply will burst if I cannot tell this: I got Cha hidden.. I took one of her fly by posts and put the worst spin possible on it.." !!!!! Whippee! So happy.. "..it's guerilla warfare.."

How the hell does that help the candidate ya'll are supporting on that site?.. By Lying? to have to lie to get a hide for me? Clue: it doesn't.. just makes your side look bad.

calling me a birther

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Dec 20, 2015, 03:08 AM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Does not harm my feelings, but is unnessecary rude and does nothing useful for the further debate.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: this term birther needs to die, and not be used as a insult around here
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Sounds like the poster is calling the previous poster a birther. Personal attack.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No, they're referring to Trump.


I suffered the consequences of that damn lie.. It's all here in black and white for everyone to see. I sent the abuse alert to Skinner with the link.. but I didn't know how to make a screenshot so William was kind of enough to do it for me.

Otherwise I wouldn't have the proof I need. Yeah, we have our site for Hillary supporters.. but no one would ever lie to the jury about getting a hide for Anyone.

ScreenShot link for those who haven't seen it yet..

ETA: There should be a strong punishment for those who lie to juries to get somebody a hide. One way of making that happen is to be sure to send the abuse alert on the alerter because it goes to Skinner. This lying to juries has to stop. This isn't the only time it's happened.

The damn prosecutor advocated for NOT prosecuting.

And, there isn't silence at all.

As I was explaining on air:
Typically prosecutor argues to G. Jury for why to charge

This prosecutor says he argued for why not to charge.

This from 2014 in the aftermath of the tragedy of Michael Brown being gunned down in the street.

Why the Feds Can’t Charge Darren Wilson

They should, but the Supreme Court gutted the civil rights law he violated when he killed Michael Brown.

end snip//

Brown had the right to “life itself,” too. Wilson took it away—and there’s almost nothing the federal government can do about it. The KKK began its reign of terror in 1865. The brutal Selma assault on civil rights protesters occurred in 1965. And in 2014, we still don’t have a federal law to protect unarmed black boys from getting gunned down by cops in the street.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2014/11/will_justice_department_charge_darren_wilson_supreme_court_gutted_civil.html

The Supreme Court and Congress are the enemies of "the right to life" for Black Americans gunned down by cops in the street and elsewhere.

Why It’s Impossible to Indict a Cop

It’s not just Ferguson—here’s how the system protects police.

snip//


SCOTUS and the license to kill

Chapter 563 of the Missouri Revised Statutes grants a lot of discretion to officers of the law to wield deadly force, to the horror of many observers swooping in to the Ferguson story. The statute authorizes deadly force “in effecting an arrest or in preventing an escape from custody” if the officer “reasonably believes” it is necessary in order to “to effect the arrest and also reasonably believes that the person to be arrested has committed or attempted to commit a felony…or may otherwise endanger life or inflict serious physical injury unless arrested without delay.”

But this law is not an outlier, and is fully in sync with Supreme Court jurisprudence. The legal standard authorizing deadly force is something called “objective reasonableness.”

I think we should go to the source of the problem.. just because we have a Black Democratic President doesn't mean laws will automatically be changed.
