Dr. Vincent DiMaio (testified in Zimmerman trial) is widely considered one of the nation’s foremost leading forensic pathologist. He too sees through the political smokescreen deployed by Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby – Backstory.
(Via The Baltimore Sun) Asked about the Maryland medical examiner’s conclusion that Freddie Gray‘s death from injuries sustained in police custody was a homicide, Dr. Vincent DiMaio, one of the nation’s leading forensic pathologists, said: (more…)
“Disparate Impact” is a social justice legal theorem which measures outcomes to standards and practices and determines racial legality.
Example – Under legal interpretation rules of “Disparate Impact” it is unlawful not to hire illegal aliens. If a company uses eligible (legal) work authorization status as a requirement on employment applications (when making hiring decisions), and if the use of legal work eligibility is used as a qualifier, and the eligibility (qualification) standards disqualify a protected class (ethnicity) at a disparate rate, then it is unlawful not to hire illegal aliens.
The civil rights act(s) guaranteed -through law- equality in opportunity. Disparate Impact guarantees -through legal interpretation- equality in outcome.
Today the Supreme Court upheld (5-4) the application of “Disparate Impact Rules” within housing: regulations, loans, credits, locations and subsidies. Justice Kennedy was the determining factor. Thomas Lifson at American Thinker accurately outlines: (more…)
Reminder: There are 7 decision announcements still anticipated including: King v. Burwell, in which the court must decide whether the 6.4 million people getting subsidies on the federal exchange to buy ObamaCare will be able to continue doing so; and Obergefell v. Hodges, where the court is being asked to decide whether bans on same-sex marriage are constitutional and whether states must recognize same-sex marriages performed legally in other states. The Texas Housing v Inclusive Communities “disparate impact” decision is also possible.
We can anticipate one or more decisions today and tomorrow. SCOTUS BLOG HERE They will live blog decisions beginning at 9:00am Eastern.
*Note – I’ll be off line until early afternoon, but use comment section if something breaks. The next 48 hours should be interesting to say the least.

This is rich. While simultaneously saying the people of Baltimore are too stupid a mob to stop destroying their city, Mosby claims that it was imperative she remove the constitutional protections of the police department in order to save Baltimore; and people should be thanking her for sacrificing the police for the greater good of society.
(Baltimore Sun) State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s announcement of charges against six officers in connection with the arrest and death of Freddie Gray restored order to Baltimore “before the entire city became an armed camp or was burned to the ground,” her office argued in a new court filing.
Michael Schatzow, Mosby’s top deputy, asked a judge this week to deny a motion by attorneys for the officers asking that the charges against their clients be thrown out because of missteps they say Mosby made.
The defense lawyers argued that by publicly announcing the charges against the six officers involved in Gray’s April 12 arrest, Mosby unforgivably biased potential jurors against their clients.
But Schatzow said seeking to restore calm was a legitimate move.
“Speaking in the middle of an ongoing riot, Mrs. Mosby was trying to calm the crowd, not incite it,” Schatzow wrote. “Her repeated pleas for peace while the criminal justice system does its work served a legitimate law enforcement function.” (link)
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (KMOV.com) – Police have identified a suspect in the Tuesday night attempted murder of a trooper in East St. Louis, according to the Illinois State Police. Charges and warrants were issued Wednesday for 52-year-old Gregory K. Nelson of East St. Louis.
The St. Clair County EMA tweeted that police were fired at while on Interstate 255 near State Street around 11:30 Tuesday night.
According to officers at the shooting scene, the incident began when a trooper with the Illinois State Police pulled over Nelson for a suspected DUI. Nelson then reportedly exited his vehicle and had a conversation with the trooper before firing his weapon. (more…)
When you go deep into the autopsy report, it is important to remember the sequence of events that facilitates the review; because, as many have mentioned, the ME analysis relies heavily on “an investigative narrative” to connect the fatal injury to the events of his arrest.
The autopsy report, as you will see, is roughly 90% dependent on the narrative delivered to the medical examiner, and only 10% constructed with the forensic evidence contained on the body of Freddie Gray.
To begin, note the medical examiner’s report is dated April 30th, 2015.
This is the day BEFORE the Baltimore Police rushed their partially complete report to Marilyn Mosby in anticipation of her direct action charges on May 1st. This means the narrative used within the ME report was not from the completed Baltimore Police investigation/report, but rather from Marilyn Mosby’s own investigative team to the ME. (more…)
Shaun King and Deray Mckesson are ideological compatriots in the “Black Lives Matter” and “F**k The Police” crowd. In addition to being a paid professional agitator King also writes for Daily Kos and is friends with numerous left-wing media personalities.
Shaun King is also a con artist, and frequently advocates for violence and criminal behavior. However, he might have gone a tad too far this time and publicly announced his “financing for felony” program:
(Via Vulture) The studio behind The Dukes of Hazzard has become the latest corporate giant to get out of the confederate flag business. Vulture has learned exclusively that Warner Bros.’ consumer licensing division — which for decades has licensed images of the Duke brothers’ iconic General Lee car for use on everything from T-shirts and model cars to lunch boxes and kids’ underwear — has opted to stop sanctioning the manufacturing of any products featuring the stars and bars.
“Warner Bros. Consumer Products has one licensee producing die-cast replicas and vehicle model kits featuring the General Lee with the confederate flag on its roof — as it was seen in the TV series,” a spokesman for the company said via email. “We have elected to cease the licensing of these product categories.” (more…)

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – School across the country are reacting to a recent racially motivated church shooting in South Carolina by distancing themselves from the Old South.
Police believe 21-year-old Dylann Roof attended a bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston June 17 before opening fire on a dozen people, killing a total of nine black men and women, and injuring one other, The Washington Post reports.
“Federal law enforcement officials said Roof, who is white, declared his hatred for black people before opening fire, and the U.S. Justice Department has said it is investigating the attack as a hate crime,” according to the Post. (more…)
