NOT ME... NOT MINE... NOT TONIGHT...

-- "Fort Worth Police indicated, 'The intruder, Darius Levy, 29, who was killed, had a active protective order filed against him involving someone who lives at the home.'" --

THE FIRST THING WE DO IS 'HANG ALL THE LAWYERS'...

-- "Frank Stronach’s lawyer Leora Shemesh alleged to Ontario Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy that the complainant’s lawyer, Shale Wagman, contacted her to 'extract money,' without formally going through litigation." --

Devil... details...

-- "Wagman allegedly said he would accept nearly a million dollars based on $275,000 damages, $25,000 in legal fees, and interest since the early 1980s." --

SO... HERE'S WHAT THE CANADIAN 'JUSTICE' SYTEM THINKS A LIFE IS WORTH...

-- "Last month, Robert Evans Jr. entered his plea and apologized to Sharif Rahman's family, in a case that has drawn widespread attention since the killing outside The Curry House on Aug. 17, 2023. His dad and uncle were previously sentenced in the case." --

It's a legal system... not a 'justice' system.

SPECIAL RULES FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE... TORONTO EDITION...

  --  "A Law Society Tribunal has ruled that Toronto lawyer Jagdeep Sikh Virk, 47, originally charged with intimate partner violence and making death threats can continue to practise. Virk claims he is innocent, but audio recordings suggest otherwise. 'OK, you whore. Listen to this... Guess what? Guess what? No body – no body, no case. No body – no charge. No body – Bitch. Bitch. No body, no murder. No body, no murder. Fuck you, whore. I’m going to fucking kill you, bitch.'"  --  

  --  The Law Society argued that in light of both the audio and the criminal charges, public confidence would be shaken if Virk was permitted to continue to practise. THE PANEL DISAGREED."  --  

Meanwhile... not a Bob or a Doug in sight.

NOT ME... NOT MINE... NOT TONIGHT...

-- "A carjacker is dead after a dramatic confrontation in a Garland, Texas parking lot, where police say a driver opened fire to protect passengers, including two small children, inside a targeted vehicle." --

And justice for all...

-- "The driver of the white car, who was armed, moved to the passenger side of the vehicle and fired more than 10 rounds, striking the man.  Garland Police confirmed the armed man will not face charges." --

Garland, Texas... that sounds so familiar...

-- "The woman behind the Draw Muhammad contest in Garland, Texas, that was the target last weekend of an attack by Islamist militants says she has no regrets." --

Bonus riff... Triple Taser Tuesday

NOW BRING BACK THE 'COOKING CHAIR'...

-- "The Department of Justice on Friday directed the Bureau of Prisons to expand death penalty protocols to include pentobarbital injections and firing squads as part of broader actions to strengthen the federal death penalty." --

 

SCALES OF JUSTICE STARTING TO BALANCE OUT AGAIN...

-- "Pro-life activist Mark Houck, whose 2022 arrest by the FBI under the Biden administration drew national headlines has reached a seven-figure settlement after suing the Justice Department over his arrest and prosecution." --

WHY IS THIS EVEN UP FOR DEBATE?

-- "'Just think of this folks: a 14-year-old boy gets raped and murdered and he (Ray) gets a 72-hour pass. What is this country coming to?' Ford said on Tuesday. ‘We have to overhaul the system so that if you rape and murder a little 14-year-old boy you are in jail to rot for the rest of your life.’" --

Not far enough... bring back the noose for child-killers.

LET HIM EAT ELECTRICITY...

The criminal...

-- "Humphreys, who weighs 305 pounds, asked for a spread of barbecue beef brisket, pork ribs, a bacon double cheeseburger, French fries, coleslaw, cornbread, buffalo wings, a meat lover’s pan pizza, vanilla ice cream and two lemon-lime sodas, the Georgia Department of Corrections said in a press release.". --

The crime...

-- "He entered a real estate office where the two women worked and cornered them at gunpoint with a stolen gun, forcing them to undress and hand over their bank card PINs before fatally shooting them both." --

And let's lock up the crazies and weld those cell doors closed.

LAND OF ENDLESS OPPORTUNITY... FOR SOME FOLKS...

-- "'A 21-year-old male remains in unstable, critical condition and is anticipated to have long-term life-altering injuries,' police added. But Koushal Kasiram, 58, convicted of impaired driving five times, is out on bail – again!" --

FROM THE FOLKS WHO BROUGHT YOU MACHINEGUNS AT WEDDINGS...

-- "Public executions are a part of Islam, Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada vowed Saturday, days after four men were killed by gunfire as cheering crowds watched on." --

And, no... I'm not kidding about the wedding thing.  

Not kidding at all. 

Meanwhile... back at the ranch.

THE FIRST THING WE DO IS HANG ALL THE LAWYERS...

UPDATE3: TORONTO HOMICIDE #05/2023...

-- "Andrews plans to testify at trial and will say that when he drove the Subaru onto the sidewalk, he was aiming to 'scare' Hopkins, Puil said. When he maneuvered the car back onto the sidewalk a second time, still trying to scare Hopkins, he accidentally struck Del Castillo Mullally. He didn’t mean to kill anyone that night or even run anyone over,' defence lawyers Sherif Foda and Zaire Puil argued." --

TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK IS NOT A STRATEGY...

-- "‘He's incompetent. He's a thief. He's a Nazi. And people don't trust him,’ former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., told CNN. Other Democrats have lauded fascist claims against Musk, including Bowman's former fellow 'Squad' member, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., who said last month Musk was a 'Nazi nepo baby.'" --

Bowman, Bowman... that sounds so familiar...

-- "The House notably censured Bowman in 2023 for pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol to interrupt government shutdown negotiations." --

SWAMP CREATURE...

-- "New York City’s worst Judge, Wanda Licitra, who lets violent perps walk free a stunning 85% of the time — was once so ‘condescending’ to a sex-crime victim, the woman refused to testify in her courtroom." --

How bad is it?

-- "Even among defense attorneys, Licitra has gained notoriety for springing violent accused criminals. 'She’s letting them all out,' said one longtime defense lawyer." --

THIRD WORLD JUSTICE

-- "Notorious gang leader Sanjeewa Kumara Samararathnehas died after he was shot inside a courthouse in Colombo, Sri Lanka by a gunman disguised as a lawyer. Police say the gunman used a revolver which was smuggled in a hollowed-out book by a female suspect, who remains at large. Samararathne was a suspect in multiple murder cases." --

WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER COUPLE DESTINATIONS OFF THE VACATION LIST...

-- “'We’ve seen people arrested for complaining to customer service or for leaving online reviews on hotels and rental car agencies', said Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, who have been working to try and get Craig home." --

Craig Ballentine, 33, from Belfast is facing two years in prison in Dubai. 

I'm gonna pass on New York City too...

-- A horrifying video shows a masked man attempting to rip a six-year-old Hasidic Jewish boy out of the arms of his father in broad daylight as they walked down a Brooklyn sidewalk together Saturday." --

And this place, too...

-- "Cultural enrichment in Seattle: Migrant parents tried to forcefully marry their teen daughter off to an old man in Iraq, then tried to kiII her for refusing." --

BRO... YOU HAD ME ONSIDE AT 'SEVERED HEAD IN A BUCKET'...

HOW MANY MILLIONS WILL JUSTIN GIVE HIS NEXT OF KIN?

-- "Notorious B.C. serial killer Robert 'Willie' Pickton was on life support Monday after being speared in the head with a broken broom-like handle in Quebec’s maximum Port-Cartier Institution." --

The timing here is auspicious...

-- "Given credit for pretrial custody since his arrest in 2002, Pickton became eligible for day parole in February, with eligibility for full parole starting in 2027." --

The first thing we do is hang the lawyers...

“You have the strength of the evidence, the evidence that tells you clearly, loudly there is a reasonable doubt.”

Well... except for the eyewitness account, the DNA evidence and the testimony from the cop in his cell.

GONNA BE RUNNING FROM THE FOLKS WHO NEVER FORGOT ADOLF EICHMANN

Dear Mahmoud Abourjila... I hope you have your worldly affairs in order.

-- "In the photo, he is seen wearing the same clothing, including a polo shirt, trousers, and sandals, that matches the outfit he was wearing in the disturbing video where he was seen holding Shani Louk’s hair in a truck. Furthermore, most of the photos on Abourjila’s Google account have location tags, indicating that they were taken only 15 kilometers away from the site of the attack on Shani Louk." --

Hamas kidnappers seem to have focussed on young, attractive women.

IT' MUST BE NICE TO BE KING

YOU THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA STOP AT CRIMINALISING DEER RIFLESAND FREEZING BANK ACCOUNTS?

-- "British Columbia Premier David Eby said Thursday that he is 'astonished' that Health Canada has granted a cannabis company, Adastra Labs in Langley, British Columbia, the right to possess, produce, sell and distribute cocaine. Eby said the province will be contacting Health Canada for answers." --

UPDATE: WHO IS ACTUALLY RUNNING THE COUNTRY?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is 'as surprised as' British Columbia Premier David Eby after a firm received Health Canada licence amendments to produce and sell cocaine.

AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME...

-- "The Tonca is an event in Trento, Italy, where every 19th of June a ceremonial jury sentences the local politician that committed the year's worst blunder to be locked in a cage and dunked in the river." --

AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

IT GETS BETTER:

"If we are sticking just to the testimony in the trial, it would be implausible — I’m tempted to say, impossible — that a rapid acquittal could have been defended as rational."

Let's face it... the wheel was gaffed from the first spin. 

I guess some deaths are more important than others.
