Retired

@libsoftiktok Don't know how to say this without seeming mean. But, what must have he/she/whatever looked like as a woman. Whoa!

The transgender attorney who was tackled to the ground and arrested after screaming and interrupting the court, left her law firm after the incident and suggests she was the victim of discrimination Trans violence is an epidemic We need to talk about what’s in those drugs!

@JayOfficials1 @markgomez1111 @libsoftiktok I've never been concerned about my ability to understand legal concepts. My concern has always been about the ability of Judges, Police, Prosecutors, Juries, etc, to properly understand legal concepts. Evidence is mixed on that point. 😏

@Retired6270 @markgomez1111 @libsoftiktok Okay for the sake of not letting the conversation become toxic, I will retract the notion that you are not a lawyer -purely on the grounds that I cannot prove it. As a lawyer, you should understand the difference between intent and accident, right? You must've dealt with this.

BREAKING: The Ohio House just passed the Indecent Exposure Modernization Act, which criminalizes s*xually explicit performances in front of CHILDREN. Every single Democrat voted AGAINST it.

@libsoftiktok Why would ICE be in Toronto, because they took a wrong left turn at Detroit? ICE doesn't operate in Canada as far as I'm aware. Educate me if I'm wrong.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow who’s from Hong Kong tells ICE to stay out of Toronto “Stay out ICE! We do not need you here.”

@JayOfficials1 @markgomez1111 @libsoftiktok Well congratulations on your economic success. 👍

@markgomez1111 @Retired6270 @libsoftiktok Ps. I didn't retire, I quit 10 years ago to pursue a very lucrative business venture...and I haven't looked back a single day. I still understand the nuance of intent vs accidental/incidental exposure in criminal proceedings.

@JayOfficials1 @markgomez1111 @libsoftiktok Man. And for all those years, all those Bar Associations that credentialled me, the govts I worked for, we all thought I was a "real lawyer". Thanks for setting me straight. 😂

@markgomez1111 @Retired6270 @libsoftiktok I actually didn't insult him, but people who seek to be offended will find it everywhere. I dissected his fundamental argument in several ways. The gist was: "If a child walks in on their parents "doing it" is that a crime?" A real lawyer would never ask that.

@JayCostaUSA This is hilarious. Can't wait to see some local police roll up on an ICE detachment and tell them they're under arrest, drop you weapons and put your hands behind your back. NJ legislature should probably have read the Constitution before engaging in this silliness.

🚨 ALERT - New Jersey can now ARREST I.C.E. and other federal agents for wearing a MASK, with potential JAIL TIME. Yesterday, Governor Mikie Sherrill signed into law the "Law Enforcement Officer Protection Act" which: - Bans most masked interactions by law enforcement, including federal agents and ICE officers - Requires federal officers to identify themselves before arrests using uniform, ID, badge, or verbal disclosure If any federal officer is caught wearing a mask during operations, they would be guilty of a disorderly persons offense, which includes up to 6 MONTHS IN JAIL! Despite this new state law, Federal officials have stated that ICE agents will NOT COMPLY, which means this will likely be a LEGAL BATTLE (costing the NJ Tax Payer MILLIONS of dollars) and NJ will LOSE! More GRANDSTANDING and VIRTUE SIGNALING by our new Governor. USELESS! Keep Fighting 🇺🇸 AI pic from Shore News Network @ShoreNewsNJ

@libsoftiktok Damn, that's what racial oppression looks like in today's America. Wow, finally glad to have seen it. Have to say she's very sad looking and has obviously had a difficult time being elected to govern her city. So oppressive to be making all those laws!! 😂

Minneapolis City Councilor Pearll Warren goes on an insanely UNHINGED rant complaining about being black and a victim of racism: “I wake up every day black. That’s something I have to deal with… I have to fight institutionalized racism on a day-to-day basis.” “Empty your pockets and strip your clothes off for the cotton my ancestors picked” “ICE is disgusting. But I’ve been ICE’ed my whole life.” “Thank you for being woke!”

@markgomez1111 @JayOfficials1 @libsoftiktok Gomez, thanks for the support. I didn't take any offense by Jay's tweets. I've been called much worse by all kinds of folks. Good discussion by people with different points of view. Always useful. Makes one think.👍

@JayOfficials1 @Retired6270 @libsoftiktok Retired is correct Jay. And you insulted him. And you chose to not listen to his most fundamental legal argument. You are the prosecutor we fear. Good day sir

@Real_Ames I think this fellow's estrogen supplements should perhaps be reduced. He's acting positively (Italian), (female), (emotional), (whatever)--choose your own description. 😇

🚨 Airport Meltdown Goes Viral — Man Smashes His Own Stuff While Screaming “Fascism” at ICE A chaotic scene unfolded at Newark Airport when a man completely lost it in the security line—screaming “fascists” at ICE agents, pacing, and causing a scene while travelers just tried to get through security. Then it escalated… He ripped off his sunglasses and stomped them into the ground. Pulled out his phone… smashed it… and kept yelling. All while agents stood calm, doing their jobs and keeping the line moving. Other passengers? Just watching in disbelief. At a time when airports are already dealing with delays and staffing issues, this guy turns the terminal into a one-man meltdown—destroying his own stuff and screaming at the top of his lungs. Meanwhile, most people just want to catch their flight without the chaos. At what point does behavior like this cross the line—should someone acting like this even be allowed to board a plane?

If you will read my initial comment on this. I said I theoretically agree with this type of prohibition. But, any time a govt at any level attempts to insert itself into our private lives, we should stop and very seriously consider this. Govts are not neutral players. See, Nobel Prize Economist James Buchanan's work. Power is never given back to the people once its granted to the govt.

@Retired6270 @libsoftiktok So by that reasoning, we should not prosecute any alleged crimes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@JayOfficials1 @libsoftiktok Judges, prosecutors, juries. Last I heard they were still people with all that implies.

@Retired6270 @libsoftiktok Who determines "recklessly" in the 12 million or more current cases where that is a legal requirement for the crime at hand?

@JayOfficials1 @libsoftiktok The process is the punishment for most people. Look what happened to Trump and his supporters. Lives were ruined by the prosecution regardless of the outcome. Trump could afford the process or he would have gone down as well. Not many can afford to do what he did.

@Retired6270 @libsoftiktok The US courts process around 20 million criminal cases per year. There are multi-layered appeal systems in place for if they get things wrong. The notion to not act on child sexual grooming, because the courts might sometimes get it wrong... Our Priorities are not the same.

@QunatumMagnum @libsoftiktok "obscene". Interesting word. I think it was Justice Potter Stewart that said "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it". Yeah, that's not really helpful when advising a client.

@Retired6270 @libsoftiktok Included perfornces by those other than biological sex outside of nightclubs, regardless of it be obscene or not. Misdemeanor for doing it, felony for doing it obscenely.

@JayOfficials1 @libsoftiktok Who determines "recklessly"? All these are weasel words that allow interpretation. Its why interpretation of laws and their enforcement provide for the employment of some many thousands of lawyers. Job security, baby!

@Retired6270 @libsoftiktok The public indecency section specifically uses "recklessly" as the culpability level. From the bill text amending ORC 2907.09: "No person shall recklessly do any of the following, under circumstances in which the person's conduct is likely to be viewed by and affront others..."

@JayOfficials1 @libsoftiktok Your faith in the fairness of govt and prosecutors is both admirable and hilarious, Good luck with that.

@Retired6270 @libsoftiktok There's no "agree to disagree" regarding the role of intent in a criminal case. Criminal liability requires reckless exposure/performance under circumstances likely to affront non-household members including children. Accidental acts lack that element. This ain't rocket science.

If that is directed at me, this is my response. I actually was a very senior Federal lawyer for half my career. The other half was spent representing those who couldn't afford a lawyer to defend themselves. In both roles I got a close up view of how govt's behave. That may be the basis of my scepticism about govts. I acted for and defended against the govt for 40 years. Take it for what its worth.

@Retired6270 @libsoftiktok thank you for showing why lawyers are so hated. and who makes up the vast majority of govt leadership positions, yup…guys like this.

@JayOfficials1 @libsoftiktok We'll agree to disagree on this. If you trust a govt to interpret and enforce laws in a fair way, you're either naive of just foolish. Look at current differences between Blue and Red states, or in the United Kingdom, as far as how "Laws" are enforced and prosecuted.

@Retired6270 @libsoftiktok Sir Respectfully, as a former specialist prosecutor, I do not believe for one second that you are a lawyer. If you were, you would not have had trouble with the role that intent plays in a crime...and the concept of accidental or incidental exposure would not have baffled you.

According to reports, a 16-year-old Yazidi girl was raped by nine Arab boys at a youth center in Berlin. Officials from the youth welfare office and the youth center did not file charges and protected the perpetrators. The report states: "Alleged rapists and sex offenders were not reported by the authorities because 'Muslim boys are already under enough police scrutiny.'"

@BrandonStraka No of course not. But, this would be typical of those in charge of public education. Break the public education monopoly. Choice/vouchers for everyone.

An Islamic group was allowed inside Wylie East High School in Texas, distributing Qurans, hijabs, and sharia law pamphlets to students. This is a public school. Since when is this acceptable?
