No Bond for the Black Guy

One of two black defendants in the election-interference criminal cases in Fulton County has been denied bond and will remain behind bars, locked up until a later date as a potential flight risk, a Georgia judge said.  Harrison Floyd was head of Black Voters for Trump in Georgia, and reacted angrily when sheriff's deputies came to serve a warrant at his home.

He is the only one of the defendants who represented himself (no attorney) and did not negotiate a bond deal before turning himself in.

Floyd told Judge Emily Richardson that legal counsel was too expensive, costing between $40,000 and $100,000. “I can’t put my family in that kind of debt,” he said. Floyd was previously charged with assaulting an FBI agent earlier this year. According to federal investigators for the case, he yelled at, pushed and struck an agent who was serving a subpoena at his Maryland home for federal special counsel Jack Smith’s election fraud investigation. Richardson cited the open case as a reason to remand him to jail, and called him a flight risk. She said the final determination on whether he will receive bail is up to the judge who will handle his trial. “I do find that based on the open charge against you there are grounds for bond to be denied at this point,” Richardson said. “So I’m going to go ahead and find that you are at risk to commit additional felonies and a potential risk to flee the jurisdiction.” A date for his next court appearance has not been determined.

(It just looks bad, and if you do not think B/black voters read newspapers and are watching, you are wrong.)  What a shame the politicians are parading our criminal justice workings into their fight.  Now, they are even talking up a new, novel way to use the 14th amendment to try and strike Donald Trump's name from primary ballots.

Shame.  Sure looks like they are getting desperate, and admitting they cannot "get Trump" at the ballot box.  Funny thing is, that's what this is all about, isn't it?  Trump dared contest the 2020 election for "shenanigans" to use a word sadly co-opted by Team Biden.

You'd think a head-to-head match, re-run would be the Democrats preferred way to settle things instead of making up all these reasons why the former president, twice impeached, is not fit to be the Voters' Choice.  But back to the subject, how many B/black voters are joining Team Trump because they know how this works?  All they have to do now is hammer Kamala Harris' record as a criminal prosecutor in California, and I predict B/black voters will either stay home in 2024, or get in there and privately pull the lever for the man being mistreated by the criminal justice system because... the People in Power can do that here today.

Gird your loins;  it's a long way to 2024, and some players aren't exactly sure-footed, in their minds either.  Joe is declining, and Trump is gathering momentum.  Anybody with a modicum of justice in their souls understands what will happen in this country if they try to lock up the People's preferred policial leader to install a man who just wants ice cream, or a nice treat every time the press asks him a question he doesn't hear or understand...

Youth Rising  Boomers aging. Unequal wealth, with no way of lifting oneself up unless they are willing to sell their souls, support the killings for profit, and join the club currently in power. They can't pass everything on to their kids.
