Who decided based on a poll? NO ONE. the poll was done after the charges were already made, asking if the prosecution did the right thing by charging these men?
It's called "mob rule."
The city of Baltimore knuckled under to protestors and the administration (no doubt) and threw their officers under the bus. We'll see how effective policing will be in the coming months. another city doomed to Democrat death through incompetence and mismanagement.
The prosecutor, Mosby, has already stepped on a turd by describing the knife as legal when clearly it is not. It makes her look totally incompetent.
Mosby Statement Reflects Jurisdictional Sloppiness
As we noted in our Friday post on Mosby’s statement, it also reflects remarkable jurisdictional sloppiness, especially coming from a state prosecutor who works primarily in the relevant subsidiary jurisdiction of that state. As reported by the New York Times, Mosby is quoted as explicitly stating that:
- The knife was not a switchblade and is lawful under Maryland law. (emphasis added)
Maryland law, however, is utterly irrelevant to Gray’s arrest, because he was not arrested for a violation of Maryland law. Rather he was arrested for a violation of the City Code of Baltimore.
The City of Baltimore has adopted as an ordinance, its City Code §59-22, which states in relevant part:
- Switch-blade knives. (a) Possession or sale, etc., prohibited. It shall be unlawful for any person to sell, carry, or possess any knife with an automatic spring. (emphasis added)
The description of the charge brought against Gray explicitly provides that he
Freddie Gray Baltimore Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby
- did unlawfully carry, possess and sell a knife commonly known as a switch blade knife, with an automatic spring or other device for opening and/or closing the blade within the limits of Baltimore City. (emphasis added)
Spring assist knife vs true switchblade.
The right wing in American would be the first to complain about a government police state and yet in the greatest show of hypocrisy in modern times if the same government police brutalize citizens of a certain background all is fine. Put that in your mental blender and come up with moral sense. They can defend a scofflaw in Nevada and cowardly pretend cop in Florida, but defend the rights of other American citizens sure turns their heads upside down.
"The main hypothesis concerning group-think is this: the more amiability and espirt de corps among the members of an in-group of policymakers the greater the danger that independent critical thinking will be replaced by groupthink, which is likely to result in irrational and the dehumanizing actions directed at out-groups." Irving L. Janis in 'Sanctions for Evil'

And when have the wolf criers been correct on the left? Zimmerman, acquitted. Darren Wilson, exonerated. Hands up, don't shoot, debunked.

The guy opens that first knife with his finger after releasing the blade lock.
ZImmerman and Wilson shot unarmed men without cause. That the white power structure protected them doesn't make it right.
Frankly, I thought there would be riots after Zimmerman was acquitted. Clearly, the message is there. You want justice, you hold a riot. Not an ideal situation, but that's where we are at.
It's good news for the Baltimore City Prosecutor.

It's a frigging tragedy and a terrible round of damage for the American Justice System.
