I'd forgotten all about it, but it was brought up on the teevee that haircut had promised a black woman for the interim role. He also apparently said that they have to agree not to run once the elections come around.

It's kind of a win for him with the far left dem base, because he could appoint a black lqbtxyz+++ "woman" and get the props for that, while more normal people run during the election, which won't be held against him for his presidential aspirations by the mainstream dem base.

The Roundtable / Re: Murder charge against NYC bodega worker Jose Alba is DA Bragg’s latest controver

Update

Quote
Jose Alba, an ex-bodega worker who was attacked behind the counter on July 1, 2022, by 35-year-old Austin Simon and his girlfriend, Tina Lee, filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York on Friday alleging he was wrongfully prosecuted because of the Manhattan district attorney's "racial equity" policies. The complaint names Bragg, NYPD Detective William Garcia, and unidentified arresting officers and detectives of the NYPD as defendants in the case.

"New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg and/or his subordinates, following Bragg’s policy to achieve ‘racial equity’ in the Manhattan criminal justice system, charged Plaintiff with murder in the second degree and asked for high bail at Plaintiff’s arraignment," the complaint states.

"Despite the fact that Simon and Lee were the initial aggressors, it was Plaintiff who was arrested, incarcerated, and wrongfully prosecuted. While in theory, Bragg’s ‘racial equity’ policies are a well-intentioned attempt by him to implement even-handed justice, the means and methods employed by Bragg have instead had an opposite effect and resulted in discrimination against certain defendants based on race."

Bears watching to see where this goes.

The Roundtable / Re: Jury Finds Man Not Guilty After Shooting YouTube Prankster

From the article:

Quote
Cook is known to police and the surrounding community for his “pranks” that many consider harassment. He has told women that someone was following them and then had a friend stalk them through a parking lot late at night. In another incident, Cook pretended to throw up on an Uber driver.

That is a REALLY good way to get shot, maced, run over, or beaten to death by the male friends the woman calls.

Also from the article:

For his part, Cook is still making YouTube “prank” videos and has no plans to stop.

Next guy needs to aim higher I guess.

I won't go so far as to say this guy needs killing, but he definitely needs a beat down every time he pulls one of these "pranks" until he gives them up.

As to the victim, I don't understand the not guilty of all the other charges except the firing the gun in the building. If he had reason to shoot in self-defense, as the jury apparently found, then you kinda have to shoot the gun to shoot the gun, yeah?

I'll chalk that up to poor jury instructions by the judge.  The judge will pretty much have to throw out the firearm conviction (or an appeals court will.)  But it appears to me that the judge is pissed that the jury found him not guilty because she's not going to rule on the motion to set aside the verdict until next month, meanwhile the hero here sits in jail.

It's hard to tell from what I saw on TV - did this "Meatball" person engage in some actual looting herself, or was she arrested for filming & posting it?
