Williams later recused himself from the case, and a white judge accepted the plea agreement for 24-year-old Jeffery McGowan.

At least he did the right thing.

Allegheny County Judge Joseph Williams is an idiot. He needs to be removed from the bench.

Sorry, I thought I’d seen this story posted before. My search showed a this story, originating at MSNBC, posted at 7:59 pm. Apparantly the search page doesn’t correct for time zone (I’m on the east coast). Thinking that the earlier story had been posted at 7:59 my time, I posted the “Earlier” notice, which routes to... this story. My fault. You did OK.

I make offers based on facts," Catanzarite said

Our "post racial" President has certainly inspired a culture of "Get Whitey"

I'm not commenting on the particular merits of this plea. I'm saying that for this judge to feel comfortable in making public statements like this, clearly expecting to get away with it, is an example of the hate being deliberately fostered by Obama and his minions. And there is a LOT of it out there.

Hardly a week goes by without Obama making a snide racial comment, usually right on the edge of outright racial slander.

Just taking marching orders from the DOJ.
Nothing to see here, Whitey.

The judge’s style sucked, but to be fair, he does have a valid point.

Here is a comment at Abovethelaw.com by a guy who worked for a federal prosecutor as a law student:

“Speaking as someone who worked for a federal prosecutor back in law school, I can tell you that I could tell a person’s race by looking at their rapsheet. How? If someone had a number of serious initial accusations, (sometimes even dozens) that were all plead down to misdemeanors or just flat-out dismissed, he was white. If someone had a number of unserious accusations, none of which were ever dropped our pled down, he was black.

The sentencing guidelines were implemented in part to end race-based disparities in sentencing, and have done some good work on that (well, except for the crack/powder cocaine sentencing disparities). People are doing this stuff unconsciously, and DA’s, PD’s and judges should really be focused on identifying and counteracting their own unconscious biases. Because most of us do have them. And they aren’t all about race, but those tend to be the most profound.”

Tell the judge his lawyer was looking to prevent a hate crime by not sending a white guy to prison-where he’ll surely be raped by black guys.

For all the White defendants who did not get pro or minimum sentences, let the appeals begin!

This so-called judge is a black guy first and a judge second, which means he stinks at both.

“If this had been a black kid who did the same thing, we wouldn’t be talking about three months’ probation.””

No because the cop would be dead.
