Justice For Jake Gardner And The Rest Of Us

Of all the dubious "justice for [fill in the blank]" memes out there, mostly of career criminals who got sideways with law enforcement officers merely doing their job enforcing the law, none are more  egregious and outrageous as the sad  story of Jake Gardener.  

In Omaha, Nebraska, on May 30, one such career criminal named James Scurlock was "peacefully protesting" George Floyd’s so-called death in police custody in Minneapolis by breaking into offices and causing wanton damage, all of which was recorded on video.

Soon Scurlock, who tested positive for meth and coke, and other rioters peacefully "wilding" that night, made their way to Jake Gardner's two bars, The Hive and The Gatsby.  Jake, an Iraq War veteran and Trump supporter, was keeping watch over his businesses during the riots, aided by his father and a security guard. The short version of this story is that the rioters broke into one of the bars, and Jake lifted his shirt to show he was armed, and advised the rioters politely to be on their way.  Naturally the drug induced rioters then mob-attacked Jake both from the front and the rear, and in the ambush, Jake shot and fatally wounded Scurlock.

Gardner was immediately taken into police custody for questioning and held until late the next night.  Upon review of the myriad videos taken of the incident, it was clear - and the District Attorney and twelve investigating deputies unanimously agreed - Jake acted in self defense and there would be no charges filed against him.

But wait.  We can't have a white man killing a black man, whether in self defense or not.  So the Soros backed Antifa/BLM/Marxist, along with the woke "community" mob pressured Don Kleine, the DA, to "review" his conclusions.  At that point, Kleine completely caved. He bowed to the mob’s demand for “justice” by calling in a black prosecutor to ensure the grand jury indicted Gardner on a litany of trumped up charges.  It didn't matter to the black racists that Gardner had already been found innocent. As he was expected to do, Franklin produced a series of fanciful indictments, including manslaughter and other invented infractions. 

But wait.  It gets worse.  Gardner's landlord evicted him.  Why?  Well, just because he's white and that's bad. Jake's bars had to be closed, and he had no income. Then, after friends established a GoFundMe account to help with Jake's illegal "law-fare" indictments, GoFundMe took the page down.  Why?  Well, just because he's white and that's bad.

Gardner was excoriated in the press. His livelihood was destroyed. He was denied a way to pay for his legal defense.The very legal system he fought to preserve had not only abandoned him, it literally turned against him.  Jake was done.  Finished.  He had no chance.

Meanwhile, the drug using career criminal Scurlock's family has raised over a quarter of a million dollars.  How?  On GoFundMe.

Sadly, after four months of the stress of facing this kangaroo justice system libel and slander - Hillary famously referred to this technique as the "politics of personal destruction" - Jake took his own life. 

But there is a lesson here. Ann Coulter put it very succinctly:

It’s official: You can’t protect yourself. Not even a blameless ex-Marine could defend himself from being choked to death. The D.A. will call in a “special” prosecutor to throw you to the wolves, and they’ll both be praised for railroading an innocent man in the Omaha World Herald, while the “elite” media defame you.

So Americans, there you have  it.  You're on your own.  You've been forewarned.  It's your move.
