Joe Arpaio is Contemptible

in news •  7 years ago 

Anyone who'd been paying attention already knew that, but now it's official:

Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio found guilty of contempt

US District Court Judge Susan Bolton handed down her ruling in court papers signed on Monday.
Bolton wrote that Arpaio knew of the court order and what it meant for his department's policy of detaining immigrants without state charges to turn them over to federal authorities for civil immigration violations. But the evidence showed "a flagrant disregard" for the order, Bolton wrote.

I'm really surprised that this took so long. Leaving aside for the moment whether or not Arpaio's policies were proper, once a court told him to knock it off, he should have stopped. He'd been in law enforcement long enough to know that you cannot get away with ignoring a court order.

I hate this scumbag. I am personally aware of a man in prison there based on an indictment they secured with perjured testimony from a police officer and the fact that this guy was too poor to fight.

I read the discovery in the case and it was a joke. If the guy hadn't been terrified and pled out he'd be home with his wife and three kids right now. I went into it thinking he was guilty. Not anymore.

Placating to and encouraging dangerous illegal immigration is contemptible. Fighting it is commendable.

The facts are incorrect in this article and there are gaping holes in your argument.

  1. It is not "immigrant", it is "illegal immigrant".
  2. What part of "illegal" did you not get? Arpaio is only enforcing laws on the books. In case you did not know Congress writes and passes bills which the President either vetoes or signs into law. This has been law for a long time. Along comes Obama and Eric Holder and they decide not decides not to enforce the law (got to increase Democrat Party numbers...leading to more violations of the law....illegal voting). Obama and Holder are the ones that should be facing convictions, not Arpaio. Only a mentally retarded person thinks this way.
  3. If that is not worrisome enough, Arpaio requests a trial by jury, but is denied it by an Obama appointee judge. Even in misdemeanor cases, the accused is allowed to have a jury trial if they request it. It is a total disregard of civil rights by this judge because they are part of the Liberal crime syndicate.
    Lastly, I noticed you like to make comments and just make insults over the use of the word "Libtard". If you comprehend this post about how retarded you might be if you can't understand what "illegal" means, and how bad the Liberal crime syndicate is for all of our civil liberties when they railroad someone just for enforcing the laws on the books....that is bad for all of us, regardless of position on political spectrum...you truly are a brainwashed Liberal and retarded...hence, Libtard. If you can prove me wrong with facts, logic, and reason, be a man and make the argument. I'm willing to listen. If all you want to do is throw out insults, you will just end up losing credibility and end up throwing a fit in your Mommy's basement.

Ah, thank you for identifying problem. You believe everything you read from this rag. There is probably not a lot I can do to help you if you believe everything this rag puts out, CNN broadcasts, etc. They are known liars who specialize in propaganda and are on the "take" from NGOs controlled by Soros. You have to dig a little deeper. I wish I could tell you to just take the red pill, but reality demands more than that. I sincerely wish you the best and pray you find the truth one day. Good luck and farewell. For an example of how they lie to the public, you can check out how CNN set this panel thing up to trash Trump and it ended up being a complete fail and really backfired on CNN. Watch the body language from CNN. It is a very diverse panel and I'm sure they were screened by CNN personnel before putting them on the panel. At the very least, you should get a good laugh.

Good luck and farewell.
