Alabama Judge Releases Cop-Killer

It ’ s infuriating to read yet another story about another waste of DNA being released from jail without bail , resulting in the murder of another cop .
This time it happened in Alabama—but , once again , it didn ’ t have to happen .
Units from the Warrior Police Department were pursuing a suspect fleeing in a vehicle .
Officers from the Kimberly Police Department joined in , including 33-year-old Kimberly K-9 Police Officer Nick O ’ Rear .
During the pursuit , the suspect fired multiple shots , striking Officer O ’ Rear in the head @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital where he succumbed to his wounds .
According to the North Jefferson News , the suspected cop-killer ’ s long criminal history includes drug distribution , receiving stolen property , auto theft , and possessing a firearm illegally .
The gun violation occurred just last October 31 , 2019 .
MORE NEWS : Disturbing new report reveals FBI had multiple informants in Trump ’ s presidential campaign Cullman County Sheriff Matt Gentry said the suspect “ has a history of encounters with local law enforcement.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ me to translate so there ’ s no misunderstanding .
By encounters , the sheriff doesn ’ t mean the suspect bought officers cups of coffee at the local cop hangout .
No , Sheriff Gentry said his deputies have arrested the suspect many times .
The North Jefferson News quoted Sheriff Gentry : “ Our investigators worked tirelessly back in November alongside law enforcement in Winston County to arrest this suspect , when they recovered a stolen vehicle and firearms , along with methamphetamine.
” So , with these alleged crimes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the misuse of flesh and bones out of jail to commit such a heinous act ?

No surprise there .

It ’ s just that too many leftists in the criminal justice system refuse to enforce it .

Despite all these reasons to keep this suspect locked up , a young cop with two children and a wife pregnant with child number three , did not go home to them .
Officer Nick O ’ Rear did not go home to his family that night because a scumbag criminal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him .
That murder is on the criminal .
But he was able to kill Officer O ’ Rear , depriving a family of their husband and father , because Judge Haikala ’ s decision set him free .
That ’ s on the judge .
As I alluded to above , the left is consistently calling for more “ commonsense gun laws.
” What is this disconnect where they call for these laws while so often refusing to enforce gun laws already on the books , calling the laws racist ?
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criminals using guns illegally ; they do want to stop law-abiding gun owners from using guns legally .
Not even four months earlier the suspected cop-killer was arrested for being a felon in possession of an AR-15 rifle , what the ignorant gun control advocates refer to as a dreaded “ assault rifle.
” But a presumed anti-gun , leftist judge ’ s ruling frees a career criminal from jail , without bail , after he ’ s been arrested for multiple offenses , including illegal possession of a firearm .
Hopefully , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ judge ’ s error and pursue the death penalty , and if convicted , carry it out quickly .
Then he will no longer be a threat to other cops who deserve to go home to their families…like Officer O ’ Rear deserved to go home to his wife , two children , and the baby on the way who will never meet daddy .

Cullman County Sheriff Matt Gentry said the suspect “has a history of encounters with local law enforcement.” As a retired cop, allow me to translate so there’s no misunderstanding. By encounters, the sheriff doesn’t mean the suspect bought officers cups of coffee at the local cop hangout. No, Sheriff Gentry said his deputies have arrested the suspect many times.
The North Jefferson News quoted Sheriff Gentry: “Our investigators worked tirelessly back in November alongside law enforcement in Winston County to arrest this suspect, when they recovered a stolen vehicle and firearms, along with methamphetamine.” So, with these alleged crimes, including illegal firearms possession, how was the misuse of flesh and bones out of jail to commit such a heinous act?
Law Enforcement Today explained, though the suspect was ordered held without bond, the anti-law and order leftist’s newest shiny object, “no cash bail,” reared its ugly head. Apparently, District Court Judge Madeline Haikala handed down a federal injunction “that mandated all bond-eligible inmates had to be released without bond.” Because of the order, the suspect (who would murder a police officer less than four months later) “was released the same day.”
Judge Madeline Haikala is a Barack H. Obama appointee. No surprise there. Still, to be fair, the U.S. Senate approved her nomination, voting 90-0 to confirm her. Republican senators don’t stand in the way of presidential judicial nominations like the Democrat senators do. Maybe they should have.
The alleged cop-killer has racked up six felony convictions including illegal possession of a firearm, what we in the biz call VUFA (Violation of Uniform Firearms Act). You know, one of those “commonsense gun laws” gun control advocates are always saying we need to legislate. Well, it has been legislated—many, many years ago. It’s just that too many leftists in the criminal justice system refuse to enforce it.
Here’s the formula: Leftists in the criminal justice system refuse to enforce firearms laws aimed at criminals that are already on the books. Instead, they release the criminals who’ve violated gun laws back onto the streets. Then when those criminals commit more crimes with a gun, leftists in the criminal justice system scream for more “commonsense” gun laws. Then, once again, they kick the criminal back out the revolving door to commit more crimes with guns. And the cycle starts all over again.
Despite all these reasons to keep this suspect locked up, a young cop with two children and a wife pregnant with child number three, did not go home to them. Officer Nick O’Rear did not go home to his family that night because a scumbag criminal with a long criminal history allegedly killed him. That murder is on the criminal. But he was able to kill Officer O’Rear, depriving a family of their husband and father, because Judge Haikala’s decision set him free. That’s on the judge.
As I alluded to above, the left is consistently calling for more “commonsense gun laws.” What is this disconnect where they call for these laws while so often refusing to enforce gun laws already on the books, calling the laws racist? They obviously don’t want to stop criminals using guns illegally; they do want to stop law-abiding gun owners from using guns legally.

Hopefully, Alabama authorities will remedy that federal court judge’s error and pursue the death penalty, and if convicted, carry it out quickly. Then he will no longer be a threat to other cops who deserve to go home to their families…like Officer O’Rear deserved to go home to his wife, two children, and the baby on the way who will never meet daddy.

Gun rights advocates won a vital victory in Virginia Monday morning as four moderate Democrats in the State Senate voted with the GOP to stop the weapons ban promoted by Democrat Governor Northam and various state Democrats.
This vote has national implications, as anti-gun groups have invested time, money, and massive credibility on this issue. With a loss they will have to find another way to enact their agenda. It will not be easy because the voting public has now been awakened to their plans.
While other anti-gun legislation has passed both houses of the VA General Assembly, this was the measure that garnered the most media attention and that prompted more than 100 VA towns and counties to declare themselves “gun sanctuaries.”
The bills that have passed include gun bans in certain areas and buildings, universal background checks, and a limit on the frequency of gun purchases. But this defeat today overcomes gun control wins on those issues because the left and the Democrats made this their hill to live or die on.
They perished.
The Democrats may come to regret their gambit on this issue, as the response from pro-gun groups has been so enthusiastic in opposing HB961 that the resultant activism of the pro-gun majority could spell trouble for the Democrat presidential nominee in the fall.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-17--Nancy Pelosi Questions Whether Trump Is A Person Of Faith

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) hit a new low in her anti-Trump behavior this weekend when she questioned the president ’ s Christian faith .
During an interview with CNN ’ s Christiane Amanpour , Pelosi seemed to suggest that Donald Trump is not actually a man of faith , saying that if he was a real Christian , he would know that people of faith like her pray “ even for him.
” After alleging that GOP senators did not have the “ courage ” to vote guilty on impeachment , Pelosi said , “ Except for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And then the president criticized him for using his faith.
” “ Look I don ’ t know if the president is a person of faith .
It ’ s not for me to make that judgment , ” Pelosi continued .
“ He criticized you about saying you prayed for him as well , ” Amanpour countered .
“ He said I didn ’ t pray for him , ” Pelosi said .
“ I thought if he was a person of faith he would recognize other people of faith .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other people do , even for him.
” This comes as Trump and Pelosi have been trading barbs over one another ’ s faith in recent weeks .
“ I don ’ t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong , ” Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this month , referring to Romney ’ s vote to impeach him .
“ Nor do I like people who say , ‘ I pray for you , ’ when they know that that ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that she is praying for Trump , and in response to his comments , she accused him of being irreligious .
“ I pray hard for him , because he ’ s so off the track of our Constitution , our values , our country , ” she said , calling the presidency a “ heavy responsibility.
” “ I thought what he said about — what he said about Senator Romney was particularly without class , ” Pelosi continued , according to The Washington Examiner .
“ He ’ s talking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : faith and prayer.
” Regardless of Pelosi ’ s personal feelings on Trump , there is no excuse for her questioning his faith .
This is just another example of a powerful Democrat crossing the line when it comes to attack on Trump .

“Look I don’t know if the president is a person of faith. It’s not for me to make that judgment,” Pelosi continued.
“He criticized you about saying you prayed for him as well,” Amanpour countered.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-16--Democrat Cold War Heats Up As Sanders Targets Bloomberg

Up to this point Dem on Dem conflict has been apparent but generally stopped at the water ’ s edge .
With the first two contests out of the way , the field getting slimmer , and the road to the big nod getting narrower , the game is for keeps now and the gamesters know it .
Nevada is the next battleground and Mike Bloomberg , now out of the box and damaged goods because of his uncovered lines on stop and frisk , is a big juicy target .
We ’ d say big tall target , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What if Biden drops out ?
On Saturday night barking mad socialist Bernie Sanders went after him and was not subtle about it , “ We will not create the energy and excitement we need to defeat Donald Trump if that candidate [ Bloomberg ] pursued , advocated for , and enacted racist policies like stop-and-frisk , which caused communities of color in his city to live in fear , ” bellowed Sanders .
If you didn ’ t stop and frisk potential criminals of any color wouldn ’ t more people live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ socialist logic .
Bernie went on .
“ We will not defeat Donald Trump with a candidate who in 2015 stated , and I quote , ‘ I , for example , am not in favor , have never been in favor , of raising the minimum wage.
’ ” Yeah , because raising it kills entry level jobs that benefit the very downtrodden you claim to represent .
As a private sector guy Bloomberg knows this .
Aside from Napoleon syndrome , what is Bloomberg even doing in this race ?
Shouldn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump SecTreasury or something ?
Back to Bernie .
“ Mayor Bloomberg , with all his money , will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need to have the voter turnout we must have to defeat Donald Trump , ” Sanders said .
Uh huh .
Because the American voter has so traditionally turned out for the hard left .
Let ’ s see , there was the Henry Wallace juggernaut of 1948 , the McGovern landslide victory in 1972 , and the Nader win of 2000 .
Right ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ hit back as hard as he wants because if he alienates the Dem hard left he can ’ t win the party nod .
That being said , he has to run to the middle to let Sanders and Warren cut up the left .
There he has to worry about splitting the relatively moderate vote with Klobuchar , Biden ( maybe not for long ) , and Buttigieg .
Warren gets out of the way and the math favors Bernie .
Until the convention , that is .
MORE NEWS : Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a ‘ lying , dog-faced pony soldier ’ Bing-o !
( said in my best Hans Landa voice ) .
So , on his way to having the nomination stolen from him-again , Bernie gets it repeatedly wrong and Bloomberg has to sit there and take it .
Should be fun to watch .
P.S.- History geek alert…The rumor , given he is running in a party that sports a national socialist as top dog , that to rescue his floundering campaign the former veep is switching to the slogan , “ Blut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ canard that , granted , we just made up while writing this .

Up to this point Dem on Dem conflict has been apparent but generally stopped at the water’s edge.
No more.
With the first two contests out of the way, the field getting slimmer, and the road to the big nod getting narrower, the game is for keeps now and the gamesters know it.
Nevada is the next battleground and Mike Bloomberg, now out of the box and damaged goods because of his uncovered lines on stop and frisk, is a big juicy target. We’d say big tall target, but, you know.

If you didn’t stop and frisk potential criminals of any color wouldn’t more people live in fear? But why quibble with socialist logic. Bernie went on.
“We will not defeat Donald Trump with a candidate who in 2015 stated, and I quote, ‘I, for example, am not in favor, have never been in favor, of raising the minimum wage.’”
Yeah, because raising it kills entry level jobs that benefit the very downtrodden you claim to represent. As a private sector guy Bloomberg knows this. Aside from Napoleon syndrome, what is Bloomberg even doing in this race? Shouldn’t he be the second term Trump SecTreasury or something? Back to Bernie.
“Mayor Bloomberg, with all his money, will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need to have the voter turnout we must have to defeat Donald Trump,” Sanders said.

P.S.- History geek alert…The rumor, given he is running in a party that sports a national socialist as top dog, that to rescue his floundering campaign the former veep is switching to the slogan, “Blut und Biden!” is a scurrilous canard that, granted, we just made up while writing this.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-02-17--Sorry, Bernie—America Will Never Be a Socialist Country

What would America look like with Bernie Sanders as president ?
It ’ s all in plain ink on the Democratic Presidential candidate ’ s campaign website .
Sanders wants to stop deportations of illegal immigrants until completing a “ thorough audit ” of past practices .
Since investigations run by Democrats move so swiftly , we ’ re looking at stopping deportations for…well , don ’ t hold your breath .
The Democratic candidate also has plans to dismantle ICE , bring back DACA with extended reach , and welcome asylum seekers who claim to be fleeing climate change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidents in American history Meanwhile , the hashtag # socialistmillionaire points out the hypocrisy of Senator Sanders ’ preaching about wealth redistribution .
Hey , as long as he ’ s comfortable , the government can spread your hard-earned money around ad nauseam .
Bernie ’ s healthcare plan is so galling it should be plastered on every negative campaign ad run by his opponents .
The shocking part is most of his opponents agree with him , at least in public .
The self-proclaimed socialist candidate is planning for a “ single-payer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everyone in America with comprehensive health care coverage , free at the point of service.
” Yes , you read that right .
Everyone .
Free at the point of service .
Get ready to wait in line for sub-par healthcare .
Only the beginning of the nightmare that policy would bring .
The list goes on .
Free college , no debt .

What would America look like with Bernie Sanders as president? It’s all in plain ink on the Democratic Presidential candidate’s campaign website.
Sanders wants to stop deportations of illegal immigrants until completing a “thorough audit” of past practices. Since investigations run by Democrats move so swiftly, we’re looking at stopping deportations for…well, don’t hold your breath.
The Democratic candidate also has plans to dismantle ICE, bring back DACA with extended reach, and welcome asylum seekers who claim to be fleeing climate change.

Meanwhile, the hashtag #socialistmillionaire points out the hypocrisy of Senator Sanders’ preaching about wealth redistribution. Hey, as long as he’s comfortable, the government can spread your hard-earned money around ad nauseam.
Dang. Poor Bernie looks like a 12 yr old boy caught by his mother reading Playboy under his sheets with a flashlight. It's ok to fly 1st, Bern; it's NOT ok to pretend YOU are not a millionaire yourself. #wealthySocialist https://t.co/3w7bB1dUhK — Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) February 14, 2020
Bernie’s healthcare plan is so galling it should be plastered on every negative campaign ad run by his opponents. The shocking part is most of his opponents agree with him, at least in public.
The self-proclaimed socialist candidate is planning for a “single-payer, national health insurance program to provide everyone in America with comprehensive health care coverage, free at the point of service.”
Yes, you read that right. Everyone. Free at the point of service. Get ready to wait in line for sub-par healthcare. Only the beginning of the nightmare that policy would bring.
The list goes on. Free college, no debt. Green New Deal, rejoining the Paris Agreement. In spite of —or perhaps stunningly because of— these crackpot, disastrous ideas…Bernie Sanders is leading the pack among Democratic candidates. I blame Leftist college professors and the rising popularity of ultimate frisbee.
Bernie’s ability to pander to college students is strong, but his grasp on reality frequently comes into question.

” A voter posed a question to Buttigieg , asking what he would do if Trump said , “ No , this is all a hoax , ” and refused to concede the election .
‘ If he ’ s willing to do chores , I guess we could work something out ’ Buttigieg replied , “ I mean , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guess if he ’ s willing to do chores , I guess we could work something out.
” The former South Bend , Indiana mayor continued , “ I think we want to set a goal of winning big enough that this election is way beyond cheating distance and that Trumpism goes into the history books , too.
” Buttigieg added , “ It ’ s got ta be a win so big that Senate Republicans are reunited with their consciousness , and only a political shockwave can do that , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bill Maher Has Also Pushed This Narrative This scenario of President Trump supposedly refusing to vacate the White House if he is defeated in the 2020 presidential election is a red herring that has been making its rounds on the left .
On Friday night , HBO ’ s Bill Maher asked the same question .
“ So my question to all Democratic candidates is , what ’ s the plan ?
” Maher said .
“ If you win and the next day he claims he ’ s avoiding the election because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , what do you do ?
” “ What do you do when the crowd that was in Virginia this week $ 22,000 strong marches on Washington ?
” Maher went on .
“ This is a scary moment .
And when I ’ ve asked Democrats , what do we do if he doesn ’ t go ?
Their answer is always some variation of we have to win big.
” This is nothing new for Maher .
He made similar comments in October .

“ I have some information as well about the Obama administration – which will be disclosed in a lawsuit at some point , but I ’ m not prepared to disclose it now – about how President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ somebody on behalf of George Soros , who was a close ally of his.
” Dershowitz went on : “ We ’ ve seen this kind of White House influence on the Justice Department virtually in every Justice Department .
The difference : This president is much more overt about it , he tweets about it .
President Obama whispered to the Justice Department about it .
And , I don ’ t think these 1,000 former Justice Department officials would pass the shoe-on-the-other-foot test .
Maybe some of them would , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t. ” Dershowitz is referencing an open letter by Democrat and Obama era DOJ employees asking Bill Barr to resign as Attorney General over alleged misdeeds involving the Roger Stone case .

“So, then you’re not going to vote,” Behar said in frustration. “You’re not voting for Trump and you’re not voting for a Democrat, you said that already.”
“You know what, you guys have done a piss-poor job of convincing me that I should vote for a Democrat,” McCain responded.
