Why Have Liberal Judges Suddenly Become Second Amendment Absolutists?

Posted on | March 20, 2024 | 2 Comments

Judge Melissa Logan Bellows presides in Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Kentucky, which is to say, Louisville, a community torn by racial conflict ever since the Breonna Taylor shooting. During the 2020 election, Joe Biden won only two counties in Kentucky, and Jefferson was one of them. Although judicial elections in Kentucky are officially non-partisan, we might presume that Bellows is a Democrat. However, Bellows was endorsed by the local Republican Party in her 2022 election, in which her opponent was a local civil rights lawyer.

Well, if she’s a Republican, she’s gone rogue:

Prohibiting a convicted felon from possessing a gun is unconstitutional, according to a Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge’s ruling.
Judge Melissa Logan Bellows filed the order this week, dismissing the possession charge against a convicted felon and persistent felony offender, Jecory Frazier.
The motion to dismiss was filed by Louisville Attorney Rob Eggert in October on behalf of his client. Eggert claimed the state’s law does not trump the Second Amendment. Bellows agreed, making the first ruling of its kind in Jefferson County.
Trisha Lister, an attorney at Eggert’s office, wrote the motion.
She believes Bellows’ opinion was well-written.
She told WAVE News Troubleshooters the Second Amendment does not single out convicted felons. She said the charge has been not been equally enforced and is used as a way to keep people of color from having guns. Lister stated over 70% of those prosecuted on that standalone charge are minorities.

Dana Pico has more on what he calls the “curious” argument made by Judge Bellows in her decision, the full PDF of which is here. The claim that “minorities” account for 70% of those prosecuted on felon-in-possession charges might have something to do with the fact that most crime is committed by young people, and the current demographic situation is such that, in many communities, “minorities” are actually a majority of the youth population. Are cops just letting white criminals go free? I rather doubt it, but that’s not really the issue. Rather, the issue is whether Jecory Frazier should be in prison and, considering that he is a “persistent felony offender,” the answer to that question is, “Hell, yes.”

No sooner had I digested this crazy decision from Kentucky, than a Chicago judge decided that the federal law prohibiting firearms possession by illegal aliens is unconstitutional:

Ajudge this month dropped gun charges against an illegal migrant in Illinois, sparking further debate about the rights associated with the Second Amendment.
U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Coleman of the Northern District of Illinois referenced lower court rulings in dismissing firearm possession charges against Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who was illegally or unlawfully in the United States when he possessed a handgun in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago on June 1, 2020.
“The Court finds that Carbajal-Flores’ criminal record, containing no improper use of a weapon, as well as the non-violent circumstances of his arrest do not support a finding that he poses a risk to public safety such that he cannot be trusted to use a weapon responsibly and should be deprived of his Second Amendment right to bear arms in self-defense,” Coleman, who was appointed under President Barack Obama, wrote in her eight-page ruling filed March 8.
Carbajal-Flores was charged under Title 18 of U.S. Criminal Code, which legally disallows undocumented individuals to possess firearms and ammunition “or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.”
The defendant, who contended the firearm was possessed for self-defense and protection of property “during a time of documented civil unrest” in the spring of 2020, has never been convicted of a felony, a violent crime or a crime involving the use of a weapon.

This is insane. My only guess as to why the judge would rule this way — besides the fact that she’s a DEI hire appointed by Obama — is that Democrats want to use the Bruen decision as a legal mechanism to turn loose criminals, including illegal aliens, arrested on gun charges. But this is the exact opposite of what their rhetoric about stopping “gun violence” would suggest. If your aim is to prevent such violence, then getting criminals off the street should be Job Number One. The vast majority of “gun violence” in America is perpetrated by repeat offenders, especially those associated with drug trafficking by urban gangs. State and federal laws prohibiting convicted felons from possessing firearms gives prosecutors a powerful tool to get these repeat offenders off the street for a long time. As for illegal aliens with guns, well, you could just deport them — but Democrats don’t want to do that either.

The simplest explanation: Whatever is good for America, Democrats are against. Whatever is bad for America, they’re for.

The Senators started the 1972 season in Kansas City against the defending AL champion Royals, and took two out of three thanks to our bullpen, which (unlike the Royals) is full of good arms to back up a solid starting rotation. We did lose the middle game thanks to the weather, which rained out the game in the 5th inning after the Royals managed to score four off Pat Dobson. Next up will be Pete’s Brewers.

‘An Extensive Criminal History’

Posted on | March 17, 2024 | Comments Off on ‘An Extensive Criminal History’

In the wee hours of September 9, 2014, there was a jailbreak at the Marion County Detention Center in Mullins, South Carolina, when “two inmates overpowered two detention officers inside the jail. The inmates handcuffed one and beat the other.” Jaremy [sic] Alexander Smith was able to escape, but deputies tracked him with bloodhouds and he was recaptured about two hours later. Fast forward to 2024 . . .

Friday morning, Marion County authorities issued a missing persons alert for Phonesia Machado-Fore, a paramedic who worked in neighboring Florence County. Machado-Fore had last been seen at her home on Tuesday and, the alert noted, she drove a white BMW.

Not coincidentally, at 5 a.m. Friday morning, about 1,500 miles west of Marion County, South Carolina, New Mexico State Police Officer Justin Hare “was dispatched to Interstate 40, near milepost 318, to assist a motorist in a white BMW who had a flat tire and was attempting to wave down other motorists.” When Officer Hare parked behind the disabled vehicle, the driver got out of the car and approached the passenger side of Officer Hare’s vehicle, The trooper rolled down his window and talked to the stranded motorist, offering him assistance. The man then shot Officer Hare, walked around to the driver’s side of his vehicle, shot the trooper again and, shoving the body into the passenger seat, drove away in the state police vehicle. The trooper’s body was dumped two miles west, on an access road, and the killer then drove another 10 miles before abandoning the vehicle and fleeing on foot. The New Mexico State Police have launched a manhunt to apprehend Officer Hare’s killer.

Yes, it’s the same Jaremy Alexander Smith who broke out of the Marion County jail 10 years ago and, about 12 hours after Smith murdered Officer Hare in New Mexico, authorities in South Carolina announced that they had recovered the body of Phonesia Machado-Fore in Dillon County, and that Jaremy Smith is a “person of interest” in her death.

Now, are you ready for the real kick in the head?

According to New Mexico State Police, Smith has “an extensive criminal history in South Carolina” that included taking hostages and rioting in jail; breaking and entering; armed robbery; resisting or evading police officers; auto theft; and shooting at or from a motor vehicle.

WHAT THE HELL, SOUTH CAROLINA? Given his “extensive criminal history,” why wasn’t Jaremy Smith behind bars? Here you’ve got two people dead — a paramedic in South Carolina and a state trooper in New Mexico, because some judge or district attorney missed a chance to put this murderous lowlife away for 20 or 30 years?

It’s not like South Carolina is a Democrat-controlled sanctuary of liberalism. The state has a Republican governor, two Republican U.S. senators, and six of seven U.S. House members are Republicans. You’re telling me that, in a state so dominated by Republicans — where Donald Trump won by a 12-point margin in 2020 — you can’t do something to make sure dangerous criminals get locked up before they kill somebody?

Somebody explain to me what the hell is going on here, because I’m at a loss to why a habitual felon like Jaremy Smith was walking the streets with his “extensive criminal history in South Carolina.”

UPDATE 2:10 p.m. ET: The cop-killer is now in custody:

The suspect wanted in the killings of a New Mexico state trooper and a South Carolina paramedic was captured Sunday following a shooting involving law enforcement, authorities said.
The suspect, Jaremy Smith, was taken into custody in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, after leading police on a chase that resulted in a shooting involving at least one deputy from the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, according to the New Mexico State Police. . . .
Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputies spotted Smith driving a car in Albuquerque at about 8 a.m. local time, officials said. Smith allegedly led deputies on a chase that ended in his arrest, according to authorities.
“The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office is currently in the area of Unser and Anderson Hill for a deputy-involved shooting,” the agency said in a social media post, referring to a neighborhood in southwest Albuquerque. “The Multi-Agency Task Force has initiated an investigation.”
No deputies were injured in the incident, officials said.

Let justice be done. Of course, if justice were done, that “deputy-involved shooting” would have been the end for Jeramy Smith.
