Give them all death. You reap what you sow.
I am glad I don’t live in Denver anymore.
Trial by Twitter.
Somewhat reminiscent of “The Running Man”, with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Damon Killian: This is television, that’s all it is. It has nothing to do with people, it’s to do with ratings! For fifty years, we’ve told them what to eat, what to drink, what to wear..
Just substitute politics and elections
I got a better idea.
Let Holmes, and Lewis share the same 8x10 cell 23 hours a day for a while.
Might solve the problem quicker than CO will even if they get the death penalty.
Update: He got life in prison.
He deserved death, but Denver-area juries don’t seem willing to do that. Part of it is politics, part of it is not.
This was different than James Holmes’ trial insofar as Holmes was/is nutty as squirrel poop, and this was a robbery by gang members that turned into a murder. The death penalty should have been an easy bet.
My guess is that Denver jurors are generally pretty fed up with the level of corruption and police brutality that happens there on a regular basis. I’d have to think once or twice myself before I sentenced someone to death up there after seeing the shenanigans that have gone on.
Better life in prison than killing someone the police have potentially set up.
Denver law enforcement desperately needs to clean up their act.
Holmes should have gotten the death penalty. He avoided it because of one liberal (I assume) juror who refused to vote for the death penalty. if there ever was someone who,should have gotten it, it was Holmes. He murdered 12 people and injured 70 others.
This guy Dexter, also deserves death. If these idiots protest, they are protesting liberal idiocy, not white racism. They would never see it that way because they’re morons.
I just read five not three - which was it?
BTW, here’s the guy:
This sounds like a repeat of Balto MD when Stephanie Rawlings-Blake allowed her constituents to run riot as she deemed it necessary and allowed her constituents to do as they damn well please and not conduct themselves in a orderly manner in protest of Freddie Grey’s death.
Rawlings-Blake presumably made a statement implying damage suffered would eventually be made good by insurance agencies .

Rawlings-Blake wanted her constituents to release their tensions-at the cost of the City of Baltimore.
Take a litle time to look up her bio and you will find Rawlings-Blake well educated and part of a class of people who are grandfathered (by virtue of education , social connections etc) into minor political office in predominately black cities.
If you recall - getting her to take a public stand on civil disobedience in her city at the time and to come to the microphone & implore people to cut the crap was really a bad scene because within 24hrs or less Gov Hogan appeared on the scene of his own accord. I can only compare Rawlings-Blake inaction to Queen Elizabeth holed up in Balmoral that Aug of many yrs ago to acknowledge
the death of Diana, POW- it was like pulling teeth
Rawlings-Blake never called Gov Hogan-he called her with words more or less as to “Why can’t you get your shit together & put the city in order?. Gov Hogan put it all back together and order was restored .
I will say Rawlings-Blake has a incomprable resting b*tch
face leaving The Mooch in the dust on that.
It was of significant disapointment to see Rawlings-Blake giving press confrences and still maintaing the resting b*tch face-she showed absolutely no emotion, sympathy, or passion & plea for people to stop the crap they were engaging in & not even a reaction-she did not emote.
When Rawlings-Blake took office she looked like this:
and she’s done well for herself in now maintaining a significant weight loss , new wardrobe more in keeping with her role as Mayor of Balto City and turned herself over (presumably) and funneled in to her allies in higher office in the State of Maryland, WashDC and to Al Sharpton’s network compadres.

In my opinion one of the reasons Rawlings-Blake did not step up to the plate at the time was because she KNEW about the plan for federalizing local law enforcement that has been touted by the Obama admin and the Dept of Justice.
I believe and it is my opinion she let people run wild is because Baltimore MD has a high percentage of African-Americans and to be used as a “test city” regarding Homeland Security involvement on a local level in implementing federal agendas and the UN agenda21
She was and is still following the party line according to Obama admin & all the rest of the African American agitator groups trying to stir up civil unrest.
It is widely known she sees herself as Mayor of Baltimore as a stepping stone in state or federal employment such as the Senate or Congress for example. She is definitely crafting her work as Mayor of Balto City to retire with a federal pension in the long run.
Now this leads me to another point-you must understand Rawlings-Blake is a Dem in a big Dem city. She’ll do her job but she has no real heart for Baltimore, she couldn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone or it’s citizens-she’s all about what her next move will be to her best benefit.
One of the reasons she did not pur her foot down and stop all the crap they were doing was because she knew before hand she could get federal monies-grant or otherwise to re-develop those areas and deprive legitimate store owners of their licenses for what ever they were selling/retailing.
And black Baltimore & the Mayor’s office does not support Korean business owners and it’s a well known fact in Balto African Americans do NOT like Koreans there is a huge amount of animosity there because the average, under-educated African American see the Koreans as a threat because they don’t “have” what the Koreans have; an income.
I would venture to guess the amount of federal money -ebt,sec 8, food stamps pours a high number of recipients who is unable to facilitate personal success and that my friend is the never-ending story and it’s a cycle that is happening nationwide.
To me the worse part is the state & federal govt’s are funding dying cities and this is one tough nut to crack. Rawlings-Blake is not a builder of consensus neither a individual to step out on a limb & develop plans in breathing back some life. She’s only here for her own
“ride” nothing more nothing less ahd couldn’t give a farthing.
And so the circle goes round & round and it never stops.
More on the sentencing:

We can't have juries being fully informed, now, can we?
Cops doing the dirty work for judges, even when the free speech being exercised is clearly lawful.
Why should judges and police have to honor the law? After all, they're the ones with the badges and robes, along with the guns and the color of law to back them up!
Willfully depriving the People of their Rights under color of law is an egregious form of state criminality, plain and simple.
And those who willfully perpetrate such crimes should be aggressively prosecuted.
I'm really not aware of the facts on either of the two cases so I don't really have a specific opinion. But your comment above hit home with me in one respect.
If the laws of a state allow a death penalty case to be brought, then the jury selection should screen for the types you mention. My feeling is that a liberal zealot will lie in the screening anyway, but if the case is truly one of death and justice, then I believe potential jurors in these cases should be given a lie detector test.
I realize a LD test isn't a legally admissible exhibit in a court proceeding, but it is not out of the realm of the jury selection/strike process between prosecution and defense. This would just be adding one more party to the process - the law.
Richard Dawson owned his role.
I like the way you think.
Get a new governor, the new one then commutes the first sentence to death, both executions are carried out, problem solved.
Good. I like riots.
He looks like a thug. They should have gotten rid of him and Holmes, too.
