This year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the U.S.
I’m proud to have signed onto @RepPressley ‘s letter to address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror.
CNN describes female Clancy jurors as judge spoke after declaring mistrial:
"There was one female juror that was nodding her head, 'Noooo.'"
"Another female juror was clenching her hands into fists."
"One female juror would not even open her eyes."
Imagine what the man who held his ground was up against in that deliberation room.
Except for closing Argument - the prosecutors were incompetent, out of touch, terrible, ill prepared and a disservice to the commonwealth and most of all to the 3 real victims - the Clancy children.
Or, perhaps the lone juror UNDERSTOOD reasonable doubt… “not innocent “. The only juror not judging with emotion. The lone juror was perhaps looking at 3 babies murdered by the one person they trusted, their mother.
@JonathanTurley Defense attorney is going WAY out of his way to make Lindsay the victim and tainting the memory of the real victims the 3 Clancy babies.
Reddington’s attack on the holdout juror in front of the courthouse was, in my view, an outrageous and reckless moment. It would warrant a response from the judge about stoking the rage against this one juror.
Let’s call this what it is, the defense attorney in the Lindsay Clancy trial just doxxed the lone member of the jury that led to this mistrial. By publicly pointing out that the single holdout in the 11-1 mistrial was one of only three men on the jury, he put a massive, dangerous target right on that man’s back. Why would a defense lawyer leak specific demographics about a lone holdout? Because it sends a chilling message to every single juror who will ever sit in that courtroom if they have a retrial:
“Align with us, or we will expose you to the mob.”
We are living in a terrifying time when the press and defense attorneys can weaponize public pressure against a lone citizen doing his civic duty. If the media outs this man, his safety is on their hands. Pray for that juror's safety.
Why? Because our society is comprised of eager & crooked, dishonest politicians who play the system to amplify false racist allegations to free criminals (blacks) of any criminal acts & accountability- solely to generate votes from ignorant blacks who act on emotions vs facts.
I find it completely embarrassing how so many black people rally to some of the lowest forms of humanity like Karmelo Anthony, Mike Brown and George Floyd. It’s retarded.

Talarico is a lowlife pandering POS opportunist. One of the many reason he is NOT RIGHT FOR TEXAS! Anthony is a murderer - he got off easy with only 35 yrs.
Hard to imagine anyone being such a pandering coward they'd claim Karmelo Anthony-- who murdered a kid in front of dozens of eyewitnesses-- only got convicted because there wasn't a black person on the jury. But here's low-T Talarico saying just that
@JonathanTurley Today the victim (ie: Austin Metcalf)is always vilified and dragged through the mud. The victim’s family relives the traumatic tragedy day in day out. Talarico is pandering to the blacks. He’s a shameless opportunist - one of the many reason he is NOT FOR TEXAS! 2 faced POS
Yeah yeah yeah. Let’s see if you’re still as “giddy” when republicans wipe the floor with the delusional liberals at the finish line. Now that SHOULD SCARE YOU 🤡
New polling should terrify Republicans:
Jon Ossoff (Georgia) + 13
Roy Cooper (North Carolina) +9
Josh Turek (Iowa) +4
Sherrod Brown (Ohio) +8
James Talarico (TX) +3
Even Greg Abbott is only +1
GOP says we’re a bunch of lunatic socialists. Every one of them is running as a centrist Democrat on addressing the cost of living, healthcare, and cleaning up corruption. If that's the environment, no Republican should feel safe right now.
@hrkbenowen@libsoftiktok@StayTheCourse7 “I had a dream”… they ALL left. Then I woke up. They still have a death grip to that American tit. Who else would tolerate their ignorant BS. Nobody but Lady Liberty - sad but true.
