I was thinking, even the most progressive Soros funded prosecutor should make sure this guy is locked up for life. But then the conspiratorial part of my mind thought, what if the prosecutor by "accidently" mishandles the case and he's let off on a technically? Then the Left can go, "See how the system is broken", and if anything happens to this guy they can say, "White Supremacists lynch innocent Black man".
They might get their wish anyway from another incident where an NFL jogger in Vegas got drunk, went for a drive and promptly
ran over (and killed) a woman and her dog. He was going 156 mph on a regular city street when he killed them.
They're only charging him with DUI and reckless driving; they're not even trying for manslaughter. And the judge set his bond at $150k and house arrest, which naturally he was easily able to afford. He's already missed mandatory alcohol breath tests and gone back to court over it, though he was just "sternly scolded" and cut loose again. The prosecutor was kind enough to add a couple more charges though -- another DUI count and a misdemeanor for having a gun with him while he was drunk. Max sentence he faces if convicted on all counts? 40 years.
Scuttlebutt is the locals are
fucking pissed. While none of them will admit it publicly, several local news stations have let slip that they've gotten quite a few calls from angry locals flatly telling them if this asshole walks, he'll be dead within a week. If that actually happens, imagine the wailing we'll get from the dems and MSM about it.
The 'journalists collaborating behind the scenes to control the news' thing was called JournoList. It was a Google groups forum with over 400 leftist journalists, academics, etc. It got exposed in 2009, iirc. The original group got shut down so they could put up a new secret chat somewhere to continue the practice out of the public eye.
Why am I not surprised that these out-of-touch scum fucks had non-existent opsec? My god, have journalists always been so fucking incompetent? Just how hard did Nixon and friends bungle the Watergate burglary if they were up against muckrakers of this caliber? Talk about rolling a 1 on a skill check.
Someone did and there was a news report.
Heh! Amazing. It's incredible watching people twist themselves into knots trying to puzzle out how to explain why the flyer is so offensive to them without admitting islam treats women like dog shit. It's especially funny watching women try it.
They need time to organize a narrative around the event, and the machinery has to be geared up to do so, if they report too early it might put a spike in the wheel as it were.
It's weird though how it still takes them so long to actually do it though. It's obvious they have a specific ideology to peddle and practically anyone can write the talking points in their sleep at this point (seriously -- blacks can do no wrong, whites are evil racists, self-defense is bad, eat the bugs, own nothing and be happy, inflation is just fine, Trump is worse than Hitler, Republicans are evil, etc. -- so just take the real facts and omit inconvenient details while emphasizing helpful ones), and the details don't matter too much (and can be filled in by a fucking intern later given how unimportant factual reporting is to these scumbags). So how does it actually take over a day to get it all lined up?
I annoy my coworkers occasionally by repeating my pet theory about why a lot of internet services are seemingly getting slower over time despite computers getting better and our broadband links getting faster (tl;dr: everything's over-engineered, fragmented into too many "microservices," and hitting unanticipated scaling limits despite initially competent engineering, plus brain drain caused by wokeness overload, which also scares off new talent so those lost productive workers don't get replaced with equally talented workers but only the mediocre ones willing to drink the kool-aid).
This kinda has a similar feel to it. I wonder if the "media apparatus" itself has become so bloated and monolithic that it's just not agile enough to go any faster.
