They want us to go back to the 1950's where you could call black people the N word with no repercussions, and hang em, and call someone a f***** without anyone disagreeing with you, etc. They're on the losing side of history, they just don't know it.
There are always two sides. At any rate, this all started when I said Lanny would be proud of DeSantis drinking a Guinness. Huge mistake there.
You brought up Lanny, probably not the best idea. Lanny might like Guinness, but he wouldn't be proud of DeSantis.
On some things there are not two sides. Remember the school district who actually said teach both sides of the Nazi Holocaust? There aren't two sides. Used to be the New York Times, when they covered a lynching, would seek comment from Ku Klux Klan on why it was necessary. About a century ago they realized there are not two sides to lynching. Either we are all born, or if you prefer created, equal or we are not. Anyone who says some people are not entitled to equality under the law is motivated by belief those others are inferior humans or not human at all. That view goes against the founding documents of this country, not to mention the alleged words of the Jesus they claim to worship.
It's the Butchwax and Aqua Velva aftershave that tries but fails to mask the horshit in the morning that's the worst!
DeSantis needs to step aside in his potential bid for POTUS. Surprisingly (in my opinion), Trump is stealing all of his thunder. Trump has been, and will continue to be, the master manipulator. Hence, 2028 for DeSantis.
Florida is first in the nation on lead pipes. They are known to cause brain damage in fetuses and in children. So pro life!
FLORIDA PROSECUTOR’S RACISM POLICY LEAKED Mackenzie Hayes was an employee of the second judicial circuit of Florida, working for Jack Campbell’s State Attorney’s Office (SAO) as a prosecutor. Mackenzie tells her story and shocking details of racism in the second judicial circuits office with Our Tallahassee, including a memo that directs staff to offer harsher penalties for Hispanic people. “Oh my god, they wrote down the racism policy” Hayes worked for Jack Campbell’s State Attorney’s Office between December 5th, 2022, and January 26th, 2023. In that period, she primarily worked in the Leon County State Attorney’s office, working on misdemeanors. Towards the end of January, she was sent out to Jefferson County. She only worked at the Jefferson County office for five days. In those five days working in the office, McKenzie says it was a glaring difference in the state attorney’s office’s culture and views on race. In Jefferson County, the all-white staff of prosecutors would often discuss an “us versus them” mentality when referencing local migrant farm workers. Hayes says they often just called them “mexicans.” “It was very clear that this was a white office, in leadership, staff, attorneys. Both the Leon and Jefferson county offices were like that,” Hayes said. Campbell’s staff spans six counties and has been criticized for being nearly all-white. Campbell’s offices employ around fifty lawyers and the same number of support staff. This culture wasn’t limited to just one staff member or one case. Hayes says that fellow attorneys in the Jefferson County office all appeared to embrace this culture. Hayes says she took this picture one day while alone in the office. Photograph metadata attached to the Hayes’ photo shows its date, January 25th, 2023, one day before her final day on the job, alongside location data matching the Jefferson County SAO location. The memo is titled “Primary MM (misdemeanor) Plea Offers” and hangs in one area of the Jefferson County office. “IF EXTENSIVE CRIMINAL HISTORY and/or HISPANIC -> Adjudicated Guilty + Costs,” the memo reads. It hangs on a colleague’s desk at the Jefferson County State Attorney’s Office, tucked away at the former public school run in Jefferson County downtown. Government tenants hardly occupy the otherwise non-descript building at 490 West Walnut Street. “Oh my god, they wrote down the racism policy,” Hayes’ recalled her first thoughts when she saw it. Researching it over the next two days, she found the file on their local server, where she copied it to prove the memo’s existence to the media. Metadata from that file shows the document was created on September 29th, 2022, and the author of the file was a prosecutor who continues to work to this day in the Leon County courthouse on behalf of the Office of the State Attorney. “I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the policy in all the outer-lying counties,” Hayes said. “It definitely was not the policy in Leon, which just means it’s very targeted and intentional,” Hayes said. Attorneys are ethically obligated to uphold the principles of justice, fairness, and equality under the law. The American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct codifies that “a lawyer should use the law’s procedures only for legitimate purposes and not to harass or intimidate others” and “should demonstrate respect for the legal system and for those who serve it, including judges, other lawyers, and public officials.” ‘Very Targeted and Intentional’ Campbell has argued extensively in defense of his office in the wake of the George Floyd protests. Campbell spoke in defense of the then-recent critiques of law enforcement and prosecutors of their perceived inequities: “Instead of stereotyping, which we all agree is the wrong way, and has led to a lot of the inequities that we’re fighting,” Campbell said, suggesting the audience “spend some time with the law enforcement community and some of our prosecutors.” “You’ll have a much better understanding of what we’re doing in the courtroom,” said Campbell. “We should all be treated the same under the justice system, and we should all know that we’re being treated the same under the justice system. That’s not happening in Jefferson County,” Hayes said. “People are being prosecuted differently on the basis of their race or skin color, it’s not right.” https://ourtallahassee.com/florida-prosecutors-racism-policy-leaked/
