... (Plainclothes Pakistani-American police officer) Raja was charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm. He was convicted of the charges on March 7, 2019, following an eight-day jury trial. Raja was sentenced to 25 years in prison on April 25, 2019.
... While Trump did commute Johnson’s sentence, he is not anything close to a symbol of progressive criminal justice reform. Trump famously called for the death penalty for five teenage boys, once known as the Central Park 5, who were wrongly convicted in a vicious attack on a woman. The president is also behind the detention centers that are currently holding migrant children in unsanitary and inhumane conditions. Trump has also promoted police brutality and attacked activist and former San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick for protesting police brutality.
Twitter users quickly reacted to the first Trump ad, criticizing the president both for using Johnson’s case to politically boost himself and for labeling himself a champion of criminal justice reform when his record proves otherwise.
Now we know why Donald Trump got Alice Johnson out of prison: so he could run a Super Bowl commercial about it and pander to Black people leading up to his re-election.

Three former Clemson student-athletes — cornerback Bashaud Breeland, linebacker Dorian O’Daniel and wide receiver Sammy Watkins — all earned their first Super Bowl championship on Sunday as their Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20, in Super Bowl LIV in Miami Gardens, Fla.
With the addition of those three, Clemson has now produced 30 different Super Bowl champions totaling a combined 38 Super Bowl rings.
O’Daniel became a Super Bowl champion after previously being a member of Clemson’s 2016 national championship squad. He joined William Perry, Terry Kinard, Andy Headen, Dan Benish, K.C. Dunn and Ty Davis as one of seven players in school history to win a collegiate national championship and a Super Bowl title. https://clemsontigers.com/three-former- ... owl-rings/

I happened to notice this thread was started by the villainous Mr.B.
My curiosity took me back to the beginning to read some of the original posts and many of them were right entertaining.
Curious though, anyone know what ever became of Bungalow Bill, k9nanny, rstrong, and JTA? They used to crack me up.
(I tagged you two so you would be notified I was talking to you.)

JTA is somebody else and still here.
rstrong is, I believe, unfortunately deceased Most likely, but our evidence is his sudden absence from here and a tech forum. We have no confirmation of his passing, though I did some searching.
As far as I know, K9 is still around but rarely posts I think she got bored, nothing bad happened that I know of.
dunno about Bungalow Bill He really liked to mix it up. I'm guessing that Mr.B and you, Leo, etc. weren't enough challenge for him.
