@ponceleon I think we fundamentally agree--but we seem to be talking past one another. You seem to be ascribing motivations to me which I don't think are right.

I do Not think that Jennings should be prosecuted because he's a smug, smirking bastard. I do Not think he should be prosecuted because of what TYT says.

I think he should be prosecuted because he was accused of a heinous crime. Apparently--at one time--the prosecuting attorney agreed. Then he didn't--that smells very bad; taking in to account the history of the US justice system favoring rich people over all others (OJ should be in jail for life for 2 murders--he's not because he could afford a team of scummy lawyers). I am "all worked up" because the dropping of the charges at the last minute smells like privilege.

I know I'm somewhat of a one trick pony here; posting all these TYT vids. But that doesn't mean I think they are always right--or even that their reporting doesn't sometimes suck (like this story).

Ammar's hand was cut and required six stiches. Jennings said the cabbie had grabbed the knife by the blade and that's how his hand got cut. So why was Jennings holding a knife? The prosecutor says he had to drop the case because Ammar had possession of the knife in question 5 months after the incident. Why didn't the cops ask where the knife was for all that time? No one has claimed that the knife wasn't Jennings', so how did the cabbie get it? So, the prosecutor says that Ammar is guilty of obstruction of justice for not telling anyone he had the knife. Weiss (the prosecutor) said he then could be fair and prosecute both or be fair and prosecute neither, and he chose the second option. This all stinks and needs to be brought out in court. Civil court means nothing to the rich--he could pay any fines out of pocket money.

But the justice system has a way to take care of prosecutorial misconduct. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has asked that the Federal Investigators to get involved. That--along with pressure from the stirred up public--should get a true investigation of this incident rolling.

(It sounds like you did a good job on your jury.)

They both got their shots in thats for sure. McCain likes to repeat and repeat that 'the surge worked' yet if you talk to anyone who has actually spent any time on the ground, what they did was basically shut down connection between factions. Massive walls between two sections of a city. Strong-arm tactics to keep 'the peace.' That certainly isn't success in most people's book.

And in the end Obama got him good there. Originally McCain made some huge misjudgments on the war. Just because the surge 'worked' in the loosest sense of the word, doesn't mean McCain's every decision will meet with such supposed success.

I'd imagine during that part, it was awfully difficult for McCain to keep that smug smirk on his face. I don't know which adviser told him to keep a smug smile on his face during everything but it came off very... very elitist.

Did he REALLY say "your liberal brain"?

Also, you don't have to watch the whole thing.. just pause it right after the clip from the concert and look at their faces...

LEFT - "News" guy: "Let's see him defend against THIS question!"
CENTER - Republican: *smug smirk*
RIGHT - Democrat: "Grr! I'm mad!"

This shows you all you need to know.
