McKinney is Allowed to Hit Cops

Fri, Jun 16, 2006 at 7:14:13 pm PDT

Cynthia McKinney (Moonbat, Ga.) is getting a pass for her outrageous behavior again: Grand jury declines to indict McKinney.

The encounter began when McKinney, D-Ga., tried to enter a House office building without walking through a metal detector or wearing the lapel pin that identifies members of Congress.

McKenna did not recognize her as a member of Congress and asked her three times to stop. When she ignored him, he tried to stop her. McKinney then hit him.

McKinney described the encounter as “racial profiling,” insisting she had been assaulted and had done nothing wrong.

McKinney is black. McKenna is white.

She received little public support for that stance, even within the Congressional Black Caucus.

Hey its multiple choice! I love multiple choice questions!

Senator McKinney was allowed to strike a law enforcement officer and avoid criminal prosecution or penalty because

a. she received preferential treatment because she is a fine hunk of woman.

b. she received preferential treatment because she is a Democrat.

c. she received preferential treatment because she is a politician.

d. she received preferential treatment because she is black.

e. all of the above

As a thug on the bus I was driving said to me after I confronted him for pulling a knife on another passenger: "I'm black. I can get away with anything."
And a bunch of other black thugs did, after attempting to rape another driver. The NAACP threatened to sue us if the company pressed charges, and the company caved in.

No idea what any of this means, but apparently, they're desperate to keep Grandamaster Rove in the news.

WASHINGTON - The owner of the South Texas ranch where Vice President
Dick Cheney accidentally shot a hunting companion chipped in on the gift of a shotgun for presidential aide Karl Rove last year.

Specifically, a Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon II, a handsome 20-gauge shotgun worth $2,073 that Katharine Armstrong and 10 other friends gave the senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to
President Bush, according to financial disclosure forms released Friday for top White House aides.

Grand jury declines to indict McKinney

Could someone here with law knowledge (I have zilch) explain this to me? I thought that if something is against the law, (battery on an officer), it's against the law, period. You are accused or caught committing an offense, you're arrested, charged, post bail, etc.. Ultimately you go on trial(bench or jury), etc. Why convene a grand jury to determine charges? If you strike an officer and there are witnesses (there were tons), average Joe Six-pack is getting his ass dragged to jail, and he'll definitely be seeing the inside of a court room. Someone please enlighten me.

Mexico's Populist Tilts at a Privileged Elite





By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr.
Published: June 17, 2006

MEXICO CITY, June 16 — It is the fourth stop on a long, rainy day of campaigning, but when the leftist candidate rolls into the small coastal town of Tonalá, in southern Mexico, the soaked crowd comes alive with deafening chants of "Obrador! Obrador!"

The candidate, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, gray-haired and slightly stooped, with a nasal voice and a boyish, freckled face, seems to suck up their energy, amplify it, and hurl it back in the form of a simple message. For too long, he booms, politicians, business owners and their families have gotten rich and evaded taxes while the working class has remained mired in poverty.

"The poor pay taxes on everything they buy," he says, cutting to the heart of his theme. "Those of the pure upper class, the influential, don't pay the taxes."

With less than three weeks before the July 2 election, Mr. López Obrador, a leftist former Mexico City mayor, is locked in a dead heat with Felipe Calderón, the conservative candidate from President Vicente Fox's National Action Party. After seesawing for weeks, all opinion polls now suggest the race is too close to call.

Win or lose, Mr. López Obrador remains the focus of the election, a polarizing figure who has dragged Mexico's enduring class conflict into the light. In recent speeches, he has vowed to end what he calls "the privileges" of a powerful oligarchy that has dominated politics here for centuries.

His fiery appeals have turned the election into a referendum on whether the country wants to stick with the free tr

Sandspur,

Yes, civil battery. There are no non-pecuniary (or otherwise) damages, but punitive damages are standard in a battery suit.

Given it would be based on a civil standard of a balance of probabilities, rather than a criminal standard, and given the number of witnesses and video evidence, it should be a keeper.

But I suspect the guy wants to keep his job.

I am blowing out of this socialist "paradise" at the first retirement opportunity. Sooner if Corzine and the Dems here enact some of the anti - 2nd Amendment legislation that they are ramming through. I work in NYC and Bloomber is making the City less safe by the hour with his gun confiscation plans. I'll move before I surrender a single firearm to any of these bastards. There is a bill pending in NJ that would require the owner of every Garand in the State to surrender it or go to prison. The ammo restrictions are close to law already -- they are designed to prevent youngsters from learning the shooting sports by criminalizing their possession of ammuntion. Taxes are absurd. No services for the money as they are sopped up by socialist Dem stronghold cities.

June 16, 2006 - Our towel-snapping president is feeling better. He joked and jostled with the press for almost an hour, high on adrenalin after his secret trip to Baghdad. Thanks to skilled lawyering, his adviser Karl Rove is back in business framing the November election as a referendum on cut-and-run Democrats.

Rove is following a time-honored tactic: hang a lantern on your problem. Iraq is George Bush’s biggest problem, ergo Rove’s strategy: showcase the war, frame the choice between victory and defeatism, put the Democrats on the defensive. Moments after learning he had escaped indictment in the CIA leak investigation case, Rove told New Hampshire Republicans that Democratic critics of the war like John Kerry and John Murtha “give the green light to go to war, but when it gets tough, they fall back on that party’s old platform of cutting and running. They may be with you for the first few bullets, but they won’t be there for the last tough battles.”

If this had been a white Congresswoman hitting a black Capitol Hill police officer, there already would have been a guilty verdict.

There's a lot more black-on-white racism in this country than the reverse. Compare the experiences of any white or Asian kid who's gone to a majority black school with the experiences of a black kid who's gone to a majority non-black school, and you'll see which community has a bigger problem with racism in present day America.

Indeed, it's at a point where you have situations like this one with New Orleans' black District Attorney:

Eddie Jordan, the first African-American district attorney of New Orleans, started his tenure with a bang: He fired 56 nonlegal employees eight days after he took office in 2003.

Of those fired, 53 were white, two were Hispanic and one was black. There had been 136 employees in the office's support staff, 77 white and 56 black, working under Harry Connick, the previous, long-time New Orleans DA.

Earlier this year, Jordan lost a civil suit accusing him of employment discrimination. Decorte v. Eddie Jordan, No. 031239 (E.D. La. 2005).

Jordan recently filed a motion to have the decision thrown out, and said that if the motion is not successful, he will appeal. "Race was not a consideration," Jordan said of the firings. "Why should I be barred from bringing in a person that happens to be black because the person before happened to be white?"

According to charging documents, Jabbar told police that he had planned to kill someone for several months.

When did they bring the O.J. jurors back to life?

I know HBO is at the forefront of the cultural marxist assault on Western Civ, but one of the good things they've done was broadcast an incredible documentary called Juror #5, about the OJ civil trial. It featured only one person, Deena Mullin (juror #5), and she talks about her experience on the jury and their discussions. It is absolutely compelling if you can get your hands on it. This chick is just like a friend of mine, leftish, frizzy hair, works in theater. And she was fucking OUTRAGED by the evidence she saw, and made copious notes and drawings (the ones of Nicole are terrible). Really good flick if you can find it.

New Direction for America

Democrats are ready with a New Direction, with policies to address the real challenges Americans face every day.

Thanks for the Colorado tip. That surprises me a bit because I had figured the Denver area and "rocky mountain high" elitists would have overwhelmed the remaining individualists in that State by now.

As for Mexico, that is a classic case of one tyrannical regime after another imposing its will on unarmed peasantry. My biggest regret of the Islamic war against us is that we must regain control of our borders. That is a survival necessity. That means that a lot of Mexicans that would want to be free of the poverty imposed on them by the ruling Mexican aristrocrats, will be stuck in it.

If I were President, I'd first control our borders absolutely. Then I would enact the equivalent of a Marshall Plan to invite, but control, Mexican immigration. The same way we invited but controlled European immigration.

As for the Canadian border, it need to be controlled too, just to keep the Canadian Jihadis out and to clear the path for the Baldwins and Susan Sarandon to leave the country.

The other day I was thinking about it, and was actually dismayed to discover that I'd heard anti-jewish slurs quite a lot.

The only one that caught me completely flat-footed was a former roommate, and I couldn't think how to respond because it was entirely unexpected. After that, I was more sensitive, and called people on it when I heard it. But it's bothering me.

As embarassing as it is to admit this, there are people in this district who will vote for any idiot so long as they are black. It does not seem to bother them that Cynthia's antics make us the laughing stock of the country. In fact, they think she is great, because like her, they believe everything is about race and that they are always the victims. God forbid they should work for anything. They do not see that their leaders are keeping them down by discouraging them from working to get ahead.

The only good news is that the demographics are slooowwwlly changing. An area near me that I use to refer to as "crack corner" now has $500K new homes in place of the run-down shacks there four or five years ago. While the new residents tend to also be black, they seem to also have a brain in their head and work for a living - thus they don't really like Cynthia either.

I was REALLY looking forward to her perp-walk and must say that I am incredibly depressed that the US Attorney, fearing backlash, went to the grand jury rather than just arresting her.

The Politically Correct message, as always, is that Blacks don't have personal responsibility. While posing as the friend of minorities, multiculturalism locks them into a spiral of psychological humiliation via complicity in a lie. Focusing on "external" circumstances, Blacks are denied the redemption that personal responsibility brings. Only by acknowledging our mistakes and making restitution can we hope to find self-esteem, dignity, and a modicum of serenity.

The message, then, is that Blacks are allowed to hit police offficers because, well, they are Black, and they must be held to a lower standard than most others.

This is the essence of the real racism -- the racism of the Left, the racism of reduced expectations.

Cynthia McKinney (D-Conspiracy)

Her father, Georgia state legislator Billy McKinney, shared his version with an Atlanta television reporter on August 19, 2002, the night before she lost. The reporter had asked Billy McKinney about his daughter's use of a years-old, moth-balled endorsement from former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young. Such endorsements were worthless, the elder McKinney replied, because "Jews have bought everybody. Jews." In case the reporter didn't understand, he spelled the word: "J-E-W-S." (A few weeks later, in a runoff against a political neophyte, Billy McKinney became a former Georgia state legislator.)

. . .

"What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? What do they have to hide?" [Cynthia] McKinney thought she knew the answer. "What is undeniable," she explained, "is that corporations close to the administration have directly benefited from the increased defense spending arising from the aftermath of September 11th."

. . .

her list of campaign donors, which included both terrorist sympathizers like Abdurahman Alamoudi, the former executive director of the American Muslim Council, and apparent actual terrorists like former college professor Sami Al-Arian.

I tell the family that once we've been to all 50 States and seen all there is to see in the great USA, then I'll consider spending our vacation dollars in other countries.

After all, all those US tourism industry employees pay the taxes that fund the US Military. We can't keep borrowing money to pay the soldiers their salaries now, can we.

And besides, with my mouth, I'd probably end up in some Mexican jail cell or Venezuelan gulag.

The one that started me noticing, and the one I couldn't respond to because my jaw had hit the floor, was said quite casually.

A former roommate said that someone who wanted to buy her car had tried to "jew her down."

Literally, I couldn't believe my ears.

Ever since then, I've been more aware, and, if I know the person who says something like that, I call them on it. The reason it's on my mind is an overheard conversation on BART this evening. The casual anti-semitism of people you'd think would know better floors me. It's not just about Israel - in the Bay Area, you always hear that - but the slanders about cheapness and wealth.

Really, I thought that had died out by my parents' time. And I'm over 40.

Typical media bs. The caption to the photo reads:

Iraqi prisoners stand inside the Abu Ghraib prison compound. Iraqi detainees were held with their eyes taped shut in tiny box-like cells for up to seven days at a time while loud music blared at a special operations holding facility in 2004, a US military investigation found.


Then you look at the pic and the guy in front has a Koran that he's holding up. Not only that, everyone there seems to be wearing normal clothes, not prisoner garb. The real story is that US forces are probably more responsive to war prisoner and terrorists' needs than any other military force in history, but the media tries to act like we're the worst. 1984.

Another took out a pocket knife and stuck it in his ribs. Blade broke.

You will, so will I. We have a way to go, but we are getting there. We were drawn into the most difficult group this time. We have to be lucky and good to beat Italy.

What was surprising was our inability and unwillingness to attack them. Shameful really.

What's f'd up is that conversations like we're having on this subject are supposed to be taboo subjects. It's a major problem in this country that we can't talk about the very high rates of criminality, fatherlessness, and irresponsiblity in the black community. It's akin (on a smaller scale) to the way Scandinavia chooses to willfully ignore the rampant lawlessness of the Muslim population there.

Hehehe. It was a Chocolate City before Nagin put his foot back in his mouth (again). The city was 67% black before the storm, and I'm not sure what it is now, but after the mayoral election, I saw an estimate of 55% black. I'm not really sure what it is now. New Orleans is much poorer and has a smaller black middle class than Atlanta and most other places that have a large percentage of blacks. Sadly, the black politicians have followed the crooked, corrupt precedent of the white politicians before them. One interesting note about N.O. is that there was a significant population of free blacks here in the 1800's and N.O. has always had some neighborhoods that were very mixed racially, much more than up North where it's often that blacks and whites live on opposite sides of the river or tracks from each other. In N.O., there's a much more patchwork effect.

It's a really cool, unique city in a lot of ways, but I'm kind of leaning toward the less charitable direction in my love/hate relationship with the city.

Yeah, got about four feet in my neighborhood, but my place was raised about four feet, so it only took an inch or so of water in the front of the house and none in the back. There was roof damage, though, and water got in through that and molded up what was prone to mold. Seeing the after affects does get old, though about 1/3 of the town didn't flood. There's a lot of people living in travel trailors and that's who I feel for as these people are living in tiny quarters (though they're really not bad inside) with their family and pets, in not densely populated areas that were beat up either bad, really bad, or completely...they have to drive further to eat, get gas, smokes, go to the gym, anything. More businesses are opening in some areas that were beat up, but not enough to make living there unarduous (is that a word?) .

I'm sure the driver saw the armadillo and did what Texans do, he acted naturally.

Act naturally, but don't act like Mr. Natural, cuz...that's not natural.

Do you think he smiled when he rolled over that poor lil' dead dillo?

Less arduous? I don't miss the mold or mildew one bit. I saw pictures of Cameron the other day and read about Holly Beach, it's gone now. I used to live in a stilt house in Corpus across from Padre Island. I miss it. A lot.

Time to tuck those kids in, Doss. They said for you to come back from from meth trip ASAP!

In my post on N.O. after the storm, I should mention that I'm talking about the city of N.O., not the metro area. You'd never no it from the natinal news, but significant areas in the burbs were flooded, though the water wasn't nearly as high, and didn't sit stagnant for as long, as in the city. The burbs are mostly close to getting back to normal.

That'd be the one thing I wouldn't like about CO - being so far from the water, feeling landlocked.

As for tucking in the kids, I don't think they're going to bed for a while as they got in mah stash. I was gonna yell at them, but then I figured...shit, they're 8 and 7, that's probably a little young to do meth, but who am I to judge their choices in life?

This is typical of all our elected officials.
They are above the law. Laws are made for the common man not elected officials.

This woman getting off for hitting a police officer sickens me. What kind of message does that send to our children ?

I am so tired of the pc I am a victim some people display. I deserve this because you owe me. Note "some"

To most minorities this is, or should be, embarassing. This woman has a history of bullshit.

It is sad that people will vote for someone just because they are black. And turn a blind eye because she is black.

She admitted she did it.

261 chemicalcorpse  Sat, Jun 17, 2006 1:47:49am

Remember the CNN interview when she admonished the reporter about not showing her off camera rant?

This woman is human debris and will continue to be elected by the only way most Dems are elected: ballot fraud...

Once my family and I moved out of her district I felt cleansed and renewed...

does this all mean US cops are controlled by the "J.E.W.S"? If so, let's hope they can stave of the islamisation of your fine land ;-)

Anyway I think you Republicans should stop bullying her, and try some sort of outreach program, like a duck-hunt with Don Rumsfeld, he'd show her a good time I'm sure, well a good time for us anyway...

The hypocrisy and juvenile racial slurs would be staggering if they were not oh so predictable.

McKinney:

Black - check.
Not a wingnut cultist - check.
Hannity and Rush say so - check.

The woman wasn't indicted - oh it must be because of the jury demongraphic har har har. It's anyone's guess why LGF is largely perceived as a racist hate site. You guys stay classy.

she hit a cop. she complained about the action being racially motivated.

it defies any form of logic, even fevered moonbat logic such as yours.

don't hit a cop with your phone, unless you are a member of congress of course.

Lgf is hardly "racist". However, we do understand that KIDZ like yourself know "racist" to mean: "someone who doesn't agree with my leftist views."

Can you reconcile all of the anti-Semitic/anti-American/racist slurs and insane conspiracy theories that have spewed out of Cynthia McKinney?

If you don't find McKinney the obvious racist, I guess that makes YOU racist as well.

269 jjag  Sat, Jun 17, 2006 5:38:58am

She had to get a pass.

With Patrick Kennedy's "treatment"/non-arrest upon his drunken driving debacle there was no way she was going to shut up and take it.

The grand jury did everyone a favor. I hate McKinney but, given Patrick's "pass" by the same police (for far worse behavior), I wouldn't have voted against her.

She should buy Patrick a drink...ooops, maybe she should get him a knick knack instead!

270 Just_A_Grunt  Sat, Jun 17, 2006 6:07:12am

Well I guess that this means I can go to one of her public meetings and hit her then. Oh wait that's right since I am white that would be racist and I would be charged with a hate crime. Well maybe I can shove her bodyguard, who claimed to be a law enforcement officer, which was proven false, like he pushes around reporters from around here who try to ask Ms McKinney questions.
The nice little liberals in DC, who voted almost 95% for Kerry so this is no surprise, who set on this grand jury has just given this moonbat extrodinaire a license to do anything she wishes, which she already does, and always plays the race card to anybody who dare question her.

271 anotherindyfilmguy  Sat, Jun 17, 2006 6:09:02am

Does this mean people get so disgusted they start voting out the folks who would be king?

Seriously, she was caught on tape assaulting a police officer and gets a free pass-even setting aside race as an issue (something not done by McKinney etc) that was just flat wrong to do... when it happened it was like watching someone on drugs not really fully aware of what they're saying/doing. In a sense it could be said that she was on drugs-doped up on a power rush and later detoxed by her party (at least for a few minutes so they could get her off the hook) because it's more important to them to keep a seat than have that seat occupied by someone who is not so... well at least appearing-flaky...

This may be a tough year for incumbents with stuff like her being let off the hook and Jefferson trying to weasel out from under being caught on tape etc... (although he was ejected from a commitee recently and things aren't looking so good for him there-but then I guess a lot of folks didn't think it looked good for McKinney when she went before a grand jury...Senator-is the press still looking? No? Good-ok, we're letting you off this time-don't let it happen again, at least not on camera... dumbass)

272 Just_A_Grunt  Sat, Jun 17, 2006 6:20:33am

In the case of McKinney she will not lose her seat. You have to understand the district she represents. This just elevates her to hero status in their eyes. She represents a mostly black area on the east side of Atlanta located in Dekalb county. Here are some recent goings on from Dekalb county.
The head of the county commision has the title CEO. He recently was accused of raping a women however with the help of some friends the evidence in the case was damaged, the woman paid off and the issue quietly went away.
The police chief was forced to resign behind comments captured on tape refering to the expletive deleted "white boys" who were trying to get the police force unionized. The comments were made to another balck law enforcement officer who has since lost his job.
The assistant police chief, after his boss had been forced to resign was also caught on tape with CEO once again bashing the "white boys" and also under extreme pressure from the CEO to remove the "white boys" that were on a promotion list for fire chief and replace them with black people, even if the qualifications were not as good.
No, the area she represents is very racist but it is reverse discrimmination, which we all know doesn't exist.
You don't even want to know all the comments she had made about the Jews and the Zionist plot to keep her from getting reelected that she has trotted out on numerous cases.

273 J.D.  Sat, Jun 17, 2006 7:03:35am

It's impossible to know at this time how far Cynthia McKinney's racism and this situation have set back the black community.
Not that she cares.

274 SlothB77  Sat, Jun 17, 2006 7:26:09am

Patrick Kennedy got driven home by the cops after driving drunk into the capital barricade. at leat mckinney didn't have the cop drive her as a personal escort, not that i think he would have.

275 SCATTERSHOT  Sat, Jun 17, 2006 8:31:51am

271: I think you are mistaken about Ms. Mckinney being caught on video tape confronting the guard. That would have to be via security/surveillance cameras which are under the control of Congress. No video has been made public of her incident. The camera coverage is probably incomplete and it would be dangerous to let terrorists have precise information on the gaps in building security. Of course if that is the case, why is the MSM not demanding public release of the video? Was it withheld from the Grand Jury?

276 anotherindyfilmguy  Sat, Jun 17, 2006 11:00:50am

There's very little space at most high security entrances that is not watched and taped. I can't vouch for the setup there but I do remember it as being reported as caught on tape in the MSM... I suspect that the tape of that incident has been safely tucked away if not outright destroyed...

There is no reverse discrimination-just discrimination. Anyone who says "group such and such can't discriminate because of reason blah" is being discriminatory themselves...

I wish Ms. Davis the best of luck.

280 SunCat  Sun, Jun 18, 2006 10:55:00am

I suppose we could assign only black police officers to deal with CM, but consider just how how unfair it is to place a police officer in that position. McKinney, you are not the center of the universe.
