Last night, Tucker Carlson tried to smear two (progressive) district attorneys for their decisions regarding prosecution of two seemingly similar shooting deaths. The first incident involved a retired fireman who intervened in convenience store robbery attempt and then followed the robber into the parking lot. The robber went to his car and retrieved a firearm and was restrained by the fireman in a headlock. At some point, the robber tossed his weapon to his girlfriend, who then shot and killed the fireman. Instead of discussing the DA's legal reasoning for not charging the girlfriend with murder, Carlson simply accused the DA of being soft on crime.
The second incident involved a convenience store clerk who chased a robber into the parking lot and shot him in his car, presuming that the robber was retrieving his own gun. In this instance the DA charged the store clerk with murder. Carlson accused the second DA of being biased against law abiding people and in favor of criminals, again ignoring any legal determinations that may have influenced these decisions. In the first situation it is highly unlikely that, given the exigent circumstances, the girlfriend could be convicted of intentional murder. In the second situation, chasing someone down and killing him is generally considered intentional murder.
Tucker also played up Jill Biden kissing Kamala's husband like it was some shocking expose' (which it was not). These types of slanted and misleading reports are standard fare for the left-wing media, but Tucker Carlson's show used to be a cut above them. If he continues on this path, his ratings will start to follow theirs.
