Hold this thought:
“When people don’t trust the institutions in authority to uphold order fairly and justly, they create their own institutions to do it, to a more self-centered standard of “Fair and Just”. That’s almost always a bad thing”.
This just in from Ramsey County. Read the whole Twitter thread (available here in one convenient page):
Mr. House would seem to be a regular guest of Ramco law enforcement – but not a long-term one. Even with his long record of not using his indoor behavior, he just can’t seem to get a charge to stick enough to matter.
Why, it’s almost like he’s above the law – in a city that fines homeowners whose grass gets too long.
“When people don’t trust the institutions in authority to uphold order fairly and justly, they create their own institutions to do it, to a more self-centered standard of “Fair and Just”. That’s almost always a bad thing”.
Now, it’s nothing new that Ramsey County, while bellowing on cue about “gun safety”, goes nerfy on actual criminals using guns. Three straight Ramco Attorneys, going back thirty years – Tom Foley, Susan Gaertner and John Choi – have had access to a significant set of sentence enhancements to use on gun criminals, tools that have had measurable effect on crime over the past three decades, where they are applied.
Which they are not, in Ramsey County (or Hennepin, either). Foley, Gaertner and Choi, at best pled it away, and at other times didn’t even bother applying it, sometimes for the very crimes for which the measures were designed.
But don’t you dare put a security shutter on the window of your small business.
“When people don’t trust the institutions in authority to uphold order fairly and justly, they create their own institutions to do it, to a more self-centered standard of “Fair and Just”. That’s almost always a bad thing”.
It’s almost like they want public order to collapse.
That’s absurd, of course.
But if it were true, what would they do differently?
They want the gangbangers of color to go free, knowing that therein lies the MAJORITY of what they call “gun violence”. (the adults in the room call that “crime”)
But then they want to restrict law abiding gunowners rights.
Evil or stupid? As the professor says: embrace the healing power of “both”.
What’s really scary and just right around the corner: remember two things, the CDC has stuck its nose in Rental Property Law, via eviction moratoriums. Something they have no business even discussing. Secondly, Mitch and other long time 2nd Amendment advocates know that the left has long been screeching for federal funds for “gun violence research”. In other words, money to the CDC so that they can attempt to make law by unelected bureaucratic edict.
Make no mistake kids, the American left is damp in the panties about what they see in Australia, and they REALLY want that to come here.
And RamCo put a sheriff back into office who was known for denying law abiding citizens permits to carry for frivolous reasons. I don’t know whether that behavior has continued, but was a reason I didn’t vote for him when I was still in MN and Ramsey county.
There is, of course, credible blame to give to attorneys and law enforcement, but that is *not* primarily what that twitter thread was about.
It was about judges and how they let criminals go free.
I don’t know if the judges are ignoring sentencing “guidelines” or if there are none, but the *primary* reason that criminals are out on the streets is because the judges put them there.
Somebody on the Pioneer Press website has started used the comment section of articles to publish the names of the judges that release felons with no bail, or other idiot actions.
The sad part of these actions is that it never seems to affect the ones that let them go. It’s always someone innocent and minding their own business.
As everyone knows, I’m a big supporter of John Thompson, the 80 IQ hood rat representing the East Side of St. Paul.
But this is different. I suspect that Negro judge sees his own kids, or relatives whenever one of these vermin comes before him. He can’t bring himself to send them to the joint, because he sees a day where his own might be facing the same consequences.
That’s fine, so far as blacks slaughtering one another, dgaf; have at it. The rat at issue here will most likely get gunned down soon enough and after $100k is spent trying to save him, he’ll die.
The problem I do have is, these rats need cash money to buy dope, guns and ammo. To get it, they prey on White people. They jack cars; they rat pack White kids who are by themselves and rob them; they burglarize White people’s homes; they rape White girls.
When the rot seeps into the world my people inhabit, I care.
All I can say is Jaquan would be serving 20 years down here.
The judge who let House walk is:
George T. Stephenson
Second Judicial District
(651) 266-8266
Interesting times that we are living in.

No new gun laws until you use the ones you got.
The insane left believes that the way to reduce gun crime in the US is to confiscate guns from all law abiding citizens, while allowing the people who commit gun crimes back on the street with little or no jail time.
This is not hyperbole, they really believe this. Just ask them.
There was a series of Michael Moorcock fantasy novels set in a pseudo-feudal future Europe (I forget the name of the series). The elites of that novel, the noble warriors and aristocrats, were literally insane. They wore masks of demons and wild animals. They were violent. Because they were insane you could not have any relations with them. If you gave them what they wanted they might skin you alive. You could work closely with one of them for years, and he would have your family killed because one day he thought they might really be birds.
So it was best to avoid them altogether, to run the other way if you saw one of them. There was no interaction that could bring reward worth the risk.
Treat modern American leftists as Moorcock’s commoners treated the elites.
The rap sheet of the perp doesn’t look that intimidating–a couple of public possession of a firearm charges and a charge of illegally wearing a bulletproof vest–until you realize that it’s legal to wear a bulletproof vest unless you’ve been convicted of a felony.
In other words, prior to those two possession cases, he’d done something fairly serious, and hence those easy sentences for gun possession without a license are pretty darned culpable. It reminds me of how the city of Chicago and the feds quietly refused to punish open and shut firearms cases during the Obama administration, but then used the crime rate in Chicago as ammunition to endorse more gun laws that, presumably, they wouldn’t enforce on favored groups like Gangster Disciples, Crips, and Bloods.
