The judge who called for sympathy for shooter Dylann Roof’s family members has a history of racist language in the courtroom.
Charleston County Magistrate James B. Gosnell began Friday’s bond hearing for mass-murderer Dylann Roof by declaring that the killer’s family members were victims as well.
At least he did not repeat an opinion that he offered in another proceeding a dozen years ago.
“There are four kinds of people in this world—black people, white people, red necks, and n---rs,” Gosnell advised a black defendant in a November 6, 2003 bond reduction hearing.
The comment led to a judicial disciplinary proceeding and a 2005 determination by the state Supreme Court. The court’s written finding reports Gosnell’s lame defense.
“[Gosnell] represents he knew the defendant, the defendant’s father, and the defendant’s grandfather,” the finding notes.
“[Gosnell] represents that when the defendant, an African-American, appeared in court for the bond hearing, [Gosnell] recalled a statement made to him by a veteran African American sheriff’s deputy.”
That being the four kinds of people remark.
“Gosnell alleges he repeated this statement to the defendant in an ill-considered effort to encourage him to recognize and change the path he had chosen in life,” the finding notes.
The same finding addressed a second, unrelated ethical complaint. This case suggests that Gosnell feels there was in fact a fifth kind of person in the world, that being a fellow judge.
The defendant in that case was a fellow Charleston judge, Joseph S. Mendelsohn, who had been arrested in the town of Mount Pleasant on the night of November 8, 2003 for driving under the influence and having an open container in his car.
Alana Matheson always tries to do the right thing for the environment, even when it means boycotting school meatball day, forgoing the use of makeup, or getting entangled in a bet with her non-chicken-loving ex-husband over which of them can be the most environmentally conscious.
So when a mining company proposes developing a mine right in the middle of the community watershed, well, of course Alana is going to be on the front lines opposing the development.
Except she isn’t. To her own shock and dismay, she finds herself taking a job… with the mining company. Worse, she finds herself drawn to her attractive and mysterious boss, Nate: a capitalist mining executive. The enemy.
Alana struggles to do right by the community, deal with her feelings for Nate, and maintain her own environmental morals. But as the conflict over the mine heats up, it gets increasingly difficult to be on the “wrong side,” and both Nate and Alana are cracking under the pressure.
Because my foray into tattooing the tops of my feet went well, I wanted to tattoo Raava onto my chest. After trying twice, I have some ink but mostly just a sore chest. I could go to my usual parlor right now to get this remedied since I want the same image over it, but I don’t have tattoo money. (I figure it’d be around 80 or 90 dollars since I’m a regular) I have cab money though.
Will likely just stare silently at my chest each time I change/bathe till I get paid next month…
Edit: I used sterile equipment and tattoo ink so at least its likely I’ll avoid infection.
If anyone has a good 85 bucks they can send please message me
