My Respect for Ron DeSantis has Quadrupled

[The Duke]

He cannot win swing states. He does not attract independents and moderate democrats.

Yeah, OK, Nostradumbass.

They were three men who knew of a black guy (Arbery) who had been sneaking in an out of someone's house (caught on camera 5 times). Items had been stolen from that property a few times, so they installed camera's. The night before the shooting, Gregory McMichaels had been with the cops looking for Arbery because he'd was spotted on camera. The next day, Gregory identified him (Arbery) running down the road. So he and his son Travis armed themselves, called their other neighbor and they tracked him down and tried to get him to stop and wait on the cops because he was wanted for questioning.
They eventually parked a hundred yards or so in front him of him. Arbery, when he ran up to them, and instead of just running right passed, lunged for Travis, grabbing for his gun. Travis took a step back and fired. Arbery continued to fight, but was shot twice more in self defense and was finally taken down. )Travis was the ONLY one who fired on Arbery.
Both Travis & Gregory and their friend Rowdy(?) were all sentenced to life in prison.

A couple of notes. Arbery has a criminal record. Had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. His toxicology showed that none of the drugs he was supposed to take for him mental condition were NOT in his system. But THC was found.
The judge would not allow Arbery's toxicology records to be admitted into evidence. Nor his criminal record. Nor the 9/11 calls his mom made, when he got out of control at her house.

This was one of greatest court injustices of our time. It was fueled by the media and the race hustlers during the height of the BLM movement. The race hustlers and protestors had publicly stated that cities were going to be burned down if they were found not guilty.

You can't go down the road hunting people with guns.

He is such a class act. To be honest he is my first pick, but I will happily vote for either

For either Ron or Joe?

I live in Florida. I think Ron DeSantis is the closest thing to an open fascist we have seen in political office in this nation for decades. He has already shown that he believes attaining personal power is more important than the well being and very lives of his consituents. This man is evil.

 

[Dragonlady]

They do that all the time. It's called extradition.

These people haven't been charged with any crimes. That's why the governors were careful to dupe them into signing "Consent" forms before doing this. They agreed to be shipped thousands of miles away from where their Hearings will be held, with no money or resources, and no way to make it back to their Hearings. Sure they did.

My point? It's pretty clear, I thought.
There are far greater injustices happening than what's happening to Trump.

So? How does that justify corruption?

It doesn't. And I never said it did. You're just trying to make it seem like I said that. Wrong debate tactic for me, skippy.

You get my point. But let me spell it out for you slower.

These injustices have been occurring for a very long time, to common folks. And now one cares. But when it happens to a celebrity, a politician, a pro athlete or some rich person, suddenly a lot of people want to come to their rescue and show their support.

It's just Trump.

What makes him a fascist?

You can't go down the road hunting people with guns.

They wasn't hunting. They were trying to get the guy to stop until the cops showed up. If they were hunting him, they would've shot him when he was just running from the scene.
He wasn't just running away when he was shot. He was lunging for Travis's gun.

Travis was on the front drivers side of the pickup. Directly in front of the headlight. Arbery ran around the passenger side and made a sharp left and lunged for Travis and grabbed the end of his gun. Travis barely had time to take a step back before Arbery was on him.

They all had 100 chances to just shoot him prior to any of this. In fact, Gregory could've shot him from the back of the truck when Arbery was running towards him.
The media and the race hustlers have embedded this 'hunt him down" propaganda into your skulls.
What's the saying "If you tell a lie enough times, people will start believing it."

"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them from the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left but to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories. In these stories it doesn't matter who the hero's are. All we want to know is who is to blame."

What they did was illegal AF, brah. Let it go.

I did something similar, but uh..it was the heat of the moment. I had already decided to kill them. It was illegal AF.

I shot at their vehicle as they were fleeing my property. I bet they won't come back.

Not trying to kill anyone in the vehicle, but they were a-skedaddlin' and I was puttin' holes in their shit to remember me by.

I could be arrested for that. Thank God I didn't have to kill anyone that night.

Citizens arrest was not illegal when this happened.

When Travis shot Arbery, Arbery was attacking him. That's 100% self defense.

Arbery was already on probation. That's why he himself didn't stop and ask for someone to call the cops. Plus he had pot in his system. Plus he was guilty of trespassing. Plus he hadn't been taking his schizo drugs that had been prescribed.

The real injustice of this is that all three were sent to life in prison, when only 1 fired a gun (out of self defense.)
At best, the other two were only guilty of something like stalking. But that's not even true either, because Gregory was with the cops just the night before, trying to find Arbery, who'd they spotted on camera (also the night before)

Once they're away and not a threat, you can't shoot them.

Had Arbery just kept running, or even walking straight ahead, he wouldn't have gotten shot. They weren't "hunting him."
Again, Arbery wasn't shot until he attacked Travis.

Fact is, Arbery could've just stopped and waited for the cops. But he was probably high (according to the toxicology report). And he'd just been caught two days in a row (out of 4) trespassing. Add that to the probation he was on, and reluctance to discuss anything with the cops in fear of having to take a UA and possibly having his probation revoked and sent to prison.
He was a young thug, with a criminal record. Sneaking around someones house (day and night).

I'm not saying what he was doing isn't illegal. What they did was illegal, too.

Ronald Reagan was a bleeding heart liberal, who started this economic downturn by using the Federal Reserve like it was an unlimited credit card. 1 tax reduction and 4 increases. Raised the debt ceiling 17 times. The first president to spend more than $1 trillion. He's the one that opened up the flood gates for foreign countries to buy American companies. They did what hedge fund companies do. Suck all the profit out of it, then shut it down.



They're exposing children to men dressed as women. Trannies exposing penis's to women at the gym.
Do a freaking porn search for "shemale exposing in public." They in parks, womens restrooms, gyms and all sorts of other places.
What they do is abnormal, because 99% of the rest of the world doesn't do that kind of crap. Like dress up as the opposite sex and demand everyone not assume their gender.
Their rights don't trump anyone else's. They may have a right to pretend they're the opposite sex. But they don't have the right to force others to pretend the same thing. And when you get someone fired for not pretending, then you're squashing someone else's rights.

Republicans will republican.
