GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN DESERVES JUSTICE: A MOLESTER'S LIFE MATTER TOO.

ICHEOKU says America is currently enmeshed in near paralysis of the coronavirus and the George Floyd's death triggered Black Lives Matter's mayhem, with every other thing else now pushed to the back burner. But the country shouldn't be so tunnel visioned as not to see other things begging for attention within the wider  peripheral vision. Simply put, there are so many things needing attention which should be attended to, notwithstanding the focus on the coronavirus and the Black Lives Matter's vandalism which is now approaching a level of domestic terrorism. 

Like a person, the country should be able to walk and chew gum simultaneously. It is called multi tasking and it is doable and should be done. Too much attention is being devoted to the coronavirus that so many other things are suffering from neglect. Among some of the many things is an economy on a back heel as well as so many unfinished businesses of law enforcement.  Remedying an obvious injustice where its continuing delay will amount to condoning a grave injustice, is one such area that should not shelter in place because the longer the injustice persists the longer it is justice denied its victims and justice denied one is justice denied all. 

The death of Jeffrey Epstein inside Manhattan Correctional Center New York City, which many people believe was an extra judicial hit job and not a suicide as the government would want the people to believe, is one such matter that should not be swept under the carpet of the coronavirus. It needs to be exhaustively looked into by an outside investigator despite the fact that coronavirus has nearly rendered everything comatose. People seem to have moved on from the Jeffrey Epstein's saga, probably saying to themselves that since Jeffrey Epstein is dead, what is the point still dwelling on how he died or wasting resources looking into it. 

But even the dead deserves justice and in the interest of the living, finding out how the dead died is imperative in order to prevent any such future happenstance. Therefore, it is important that dead Jeffrey Epstein gets his own deserved justice, which means conclusively resolving the questions surrounding his death in order to ensure that he was not a victim of foul play and was not unjustly murdered. So, until his death is conclusively investigated by an outside third party investigator, the ruling of it as a suicide will continue to be seen as a cover up by the government and it will only exacerbate the distrust which many people have in government. 

The manner of his death also raises the question whether America still have the moral high ground to admonish other countries over their extra judicial killings. If such a high profile person who was merely awaiting trial could so easily die in circumstances which suggests strangulation, what other evidence is needed before adding America in the list of rogue States which kill her citizens. If the safety of such a well known and well connected wealthy individual, who partied, wined and dined with presidents, top politicians, celebrities and royals, could not be guaranteed in the custody of the American government, who else is safe? This begs the question has America now morphed into a nation which kills her citizens without according them their due process right of equal protection under the law? 

The need to investigate what happened to Jeffrey Epstein is not necessarily for the benefit of  Jefrey Epstein because Jeffrey Epstein is dead and the dead have no rights anymore. It is rather for the benefit of the living, how to protect the living from suffering a similar fate while in government's detention, including those who are currently confined and those who might run afoul of the law in the future and find themselves confined by the government. What assurances and guarantees will these detainees and potential detainees have that they will not meet with the same fate which befell Jeffrey Epstein. 

These are the people, for whose protection, the rumination about what happened to Jeffrey Epstein is being made and not a man who is gone and no longer remembered what happened to him, assuming he ever knew what happened to him. Therefore in the interest of the living, what killed Jeffrey Epstein should be investigated in order to assure the living Americans that the same thing will not kill them. It is for those who the bell still tolls and not for he who it has already tolled. 

The government therefore has an obligation to the American public as well as the world at large to get to the bottom of Jeffrey Epstein's death mystery scandal. The government needs to clear its name and assure everyone that they were not involved in anyway in orchestrating and executing Jeffrey Epstein's sudden death by "suicide". The scandal is oozing of putridity and has touched everything America stands for, including her defense of the sanctity of human life, due process, human rights, right to fair trial, equal protection, dignity of life and above all, the need to avoid extra judicial murders by the State. 

How can America sincerely still preach these tenets of civilized behaviors to other countries while still carrying the burden of Jeffrey Epstein's mystery death on its shoulders. How can America, with a boldface, still chastise North Korea for causing Otto Wambier's death when the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein is still shrouded in doubt and satisfactorily unresolved. How is it distinguishable from Saudi Arabia and Jamal Khashoggi? What then distinguishes America from those murderous regimes around the world if Jeffrey Epstein could not be guaranteed his safety inside an American high security detention facility. It does not make sense and it needs to be investigated to the fullest extent possible in order to remove every shadow of doubt over how he died. 

ICHEOKU says even if Jeffrey Epstein was a monster, was he not still a United States of American citizen, may be a Citizen Monster, for who certain inalienable rights still applied to. Was he not entitled to due process right of equal protection under the law and the right to a fair trial, the opportunity to confront his accusers and mount his defense against whatever charges or crimes he was accused of. Even mass murderers still have their day in court and Jeffrey Epstein did not kill anybody and so, deserved and should have had his day in court. 

He should have been allowed to face his accusers and had the opportunity to defend himself, and if convicted by a jury of his peers or the judge, then be punished accordingly. But no, he was denied all these rights because some more powerful people considered him a threat who could unmask their life of sleaze and made a determination that he was unworthy to live and undeserving of such rights and permanently made him a no longer available witness. 

The due process clause is not only limited to the Mother Theresa(s) of America, no, it also avails the Jeffrey Epstein(s) of America. Every society including America has their own less desirable elements; their good, their bad and their ugly. America is a macrocosm of various characters, some good and some bad, the reason the criminal justice system exists to hold the bad ones accountable. What Jeffrey Epstein was accused of and for which he was being held in detention, although hideous, was not a death sentence offense even if he were to be convicted. 

But serving as a devil's advocate, even if it was a death penalty offense which it is not, there is still a required process to be followed before getting to his guilty. He was supposed to be presumed innocent until proved guilty under the American jurisprudence. So why kill him before he could even face his accusers in court and to make matters worse, insult everybody's intelligence by passing off his death as a suicide. 

What happened to Jeffrey Epstein meets every description of extra judicial murder and it calls for a satisfactory investigation. Unless there is an authority higher than the president, President Donald John Trump should understand that the murder of Jeffrey Epstein took place under his watch and he must turn every rock over to unearth those who were behind it. Those who ordered Jeffrey Epstein killed and those who were privy to the conspiracy to have him killed as well as those enforcers who actually strangled him need to be unmasked and brought to justice. 

CBS's 60 Minutes news program of January 26th, 2020 ran an award winning expose` on the death of Jeffrey Epstein and it left nobody in doubt that Jeffrey Epstein was in fact a victim of foul play. He was murdered. It was beyond every shadow of doubt as backed by evidence inside his cell as well as other circumstantial evidence outside. The news program was the stuff Pulitzer Prize is meant for and hopefully CBS will receive the award for their in-depth analysis, backed with pictorial evidence of Jeffrey Epstein's murder. From the broadcast, it was easily discernible that Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide. There were so many issues raised in the program which  made it impossible to still believe the government's narrative that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself because he did not. 

It will require the suspension of disbelief and disconnection of logical deduction to, after watching the CBS 60 Minutes program, still accept that he killed himself. The camera which was directly in front of his cell gate was the only camera which "conveniently" malfunctioned out of the many cameras in his cell block, the very night he "took" his own life. How convenient was that. What are the odds, except that the government want us to believe them because they said so, thinking that our brain logical lobes are malfunctioning. It also did not make sense that Jeffrey Epstein chose to fashion a noose from his bedsheet when a telephone cord, an electric shaver's charging cord, an aluminum string and a ball point pen were all there in his cell and easily handy to do the job. 

But we must believe the government's story that Jeffrey Epstein made a noose from ripped bedsheet and hung himself with it and magically left no blood or DNA stain on the noose despite evidence of bloodied ligature marks on his neck. The fact that the "noose" was wider than the ligature mark is also another pointer that there are things requiring further explanation which only an outside investigator could unravel.  But the government wants American people and the world to ignore this unexplained mystery surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death and accept it as a suicide. 

The government also wants us to ignore the fact that the ligature mark was in the middle of Jeffrey Epstein's neck and far below his jaw line. This is contrary to where a noose would have ordinarily left its mark were it a suicide, very closely hugging the neck area closest to the jaw line. It is apparent that a garrote was used to strangle Jeffrey Epstein as a noose would not leave such a deep bloody impression on his neck. 

Death by suicide normally leaves the victim puffy around the neck, eyes, face and general head area. Sometimes the victim also vomits their tongue and left it dangling from their mouth. They also sometimes experience bowel movement. But the cadaver of Jeffrey Epstein did not suggest that any of these things occurred, yet the government wants the world to believe that Jeffrey Epstein suddenly got tired of waiting for his trial to begin and instantly ended his life. Even the Ponzi scheme chief Bob Maddoff is still doing his time, 150 years behind bars; so why couldn't Jeffrey Epstein at least wait to be first convicted and sentenced to gazillion number of years behind bars before killing himself. Good lawyers could spring accused persons out of such logjams and instances abound to that effect and he too could easily have been found not guilty as well. So why the rush to end it. 

Why was his body quickly removed from the crime scene before the police could arrive and conduct full investigation of the crime scene. When the facility's guards "supposedly" discovered his body, did they call 911 as is required with every emergency. If they did, who dispatched the EMT that took his body away and contaminated the crime scene before the police could arrive. Why the rush to take the dead body away after finding no pulse and not wait for the police to first conduct their preliminary investigation of the crime scene. He was already dead, DOA, so why the rush to remove his body from the cell. Were photographs taken of his body hanging on the noose? What position was his body in when he was first discovered? Was he sitting, standing, dangling or slouched. 

These are some of the many unanswered questions surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein which a third party outside investigator should try and answer. Who wanted Jeffrey Epstein dead and who were the henchmen that were used in carrying out his execution. Did they come from outside the detention facility or were fellow detainees used to do the dirty job. Was the camera intentionally made to malfunction. Did the security officers on duty take lie detector test as to what they know about his death. 

American people are concerned and the only way to array their fear and reassure them that the government has no hand in the killing of Jeffrey Epstein is to appoint an outside investigator immediately to conduct a detailed forensic investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's death. Anything short of this will be seen as aiding and abetting the Jeffrey Epstein's murder cover up. It is a shame and it does not leave America in a positive light that a prisoner in her custody was killed. Jeffrey Epstein deserves justice. #InvestigateJeffreyEpstein'sDeath

BLACK LIVES MATTER HAVE USED UP THEIR GOODWILL, TIME TO END THE MADNESS.

ICHEOKU says everybody supported the Black Lives Matter protests for the gruesome murder of George Floyd on a Minneapolis Street in Minnesota. It is nearly one month now since George Floyd was killed and the protest is still going on. They have sent their message and the nation have heard them. It is now time the protests ended as the nation cannot afford the continuing destruction, fear and uneasiness which they have enveloped the country in. 

A protest which should have ordinarily ended with the burial of George Floyd but which was hijacked by some extremists who are now looting, burning, defacing and pulling down national cultural symbols including the statues of former presidents and emancipation war heroes. Nobody bargained for the destructions of our national art treasures now taking place throughout the country nor the attempt at erasing our history and heritage which the Black Lives Matter is carrying out now. Therefore, this criminal activities must end now or be forcefully brought to an end because they are no longer legitimate peaceful protests. What they are doing now amounts to hooliganism, vandalism and lawlessness. 

America cannot continue to be held hostage for enemy forces which is no longer well intentioned nor well meaning for the cohesive integrity of the country. They have exhausted the goodwill flowing from George Floyd's murder and now is time for them to pack it up, move on and free our streets from their atrocious mayhem. They should no longer be tolerated nor welcomed on the streets of American cities because they have lost their moral authority as a protest group by destroying statues, looting and burning down things. They veered off course of constitutionally enshrined right to peaceful protest and have now become a continuing nuisance which should be abated forthwith. 

Why are they destroying structures and statues which are part of the foundational history of America. If they don't like them, how about the majority who cherishes them as part of their national treasures. Their right to 1st Amendment does not exclude other people's similarly vested right; and above all, such right does not include the destruction of public properties as no such right is envisaged under the constitution. Enough of the madness. 

By the destructions, looting and burning, BLM has morphed into an anarchist group, wrecking havoc on America and such lawlessness cannot and should not be accommodated or tolerated any more, no matter the subterfuge. By these rascality, they are telegraphing to American people that they are not a peace envoy, they do not come in peace. They are destroyers of America's history and peradventure American's way of life. Yes, they are burning these statues because according to them, they remind them of what once was which cause a lot of pain to their people. 

But such pain can only meaningfully go away by resolving their current situation and not through vandalism. Meaningful programs to ameliorate their situation, including economic and educational programs, is the right approach. But definitely not destroying livelihoods, properties and lives as took place in Seattle's CHOP territory where the group refused first aid for a shooting victim who later died. 

Which sane American watching all the anarchy on our streets will, in all sincerity, vote to empower the madness by electing anyone president who supports this group or who the group has endorsed. Will the Italians whose Columbus statues are being torn down and burnt vote for a presidential candidate who has refused to condemn the madness being exhibited by this people? Will any Christian vote for a presidential candidate who does not see anything horrible and horrifying on the attack on churches and holy places, including defacing churches and destroying Christian statues of a Catholic saint who was recently beatified by the current Pope Francis, Saint Junipero Sierra. How could any Catholic or a Christian for that matter vote to institute such desecration of Holy places and objects by people who also called for the removal of Baby Jesus and stained church windows depicting the Holy Family. It is just another example of their attack against the church and God as they want to rid the society of churches and anything that suggests a Higher Power. 

They are attacking everything cultural to America, American flag, American way of life, the believe in God and the sanctity of the family. Baby killers and abortionists who forced homosexual way of life on Americans and are anti human recreation. It is no longer about black lives mattering because some criminal elements have hijacked the once peaceful protest to ferment trouble and hide behind it to implement their long sort agenda remake of America. It is a continuation of what they started a long time ago when they destroyed the institution of marriage by incorporating homosexuality as an acceptable way of life. So, after destroying the historical statues, what is next? But the nation must not wait to find out and every decent American must rise up now to confront the affront on American values and society at large. It is time now to stop all the protests and destructions going on in America, enough of the brigandage. 

How can any sane society stand idly by and continue to watch and tolerate a group of trouble makers besiege the country, loot, burn, break, tear down and destroy priceless works of art as if they are a victorious army in occupation of a conquered territory, all in the name of protest. Whatever right of speech they are expressing definitely does not include the destruction of public properties. Why destroy priceless artworks because of the history behind them. Such history is permanently etched in the mind that even if all the statues were to be pulled down, the memory of what happened will never be erased from the minds of the people. Imagine the craftsmen who wrought the artwork who are all dead and their only connection to the living is now being destroyed and it is ok by some people? Unless these thugs have conquered America, they have no privilege of destroying Americans properties, period. 

Black Lives Matter must understand that nobody is impressed and nothing is achieved by their destroying of these things. Instead, their vandalism will only argument a stereotype of violence usually associated with black people. It will thus further alienate them from the general American society as not only white people will be wary of them, but so shall the Japanese, Chinese, Hispanics, Mexicans and every other group of people in America. It is a bad image to create of a people by the people and they must realize this and come to a heel. 

The relationships among other races in America with black people cannot be improved when black people are destroying things dear to them, including their religious symbols and historical heroes. Imagine the horror felt by Catholic watching the statue of Saint Junipero Sierra being torn down or the Episcopalians watching St John's church being defaced and set on fire. How would Black Lives Matter feel if it was Martin Luther King statue that was pulled down and set on fire or it was Barack Obama statue that was defaced, pulled down and set on fire, afterall many white people see Obama as the worst president ever. 

ICHEOKU strongly doubts if such scenes as are being daily and nightly played out on national television will endear black people in the hearts and minds of other races, both in America and the world in general. Such images will only permanently ingrain resentment and hatred of black people in their minds, as black people will be seen as destructive. Nobody wants such people who can destroy with such ease and glee in their neighborhood and instead of bringing the much sort after rapprochement, it will create further alienation and distrust. It will further damage whatever standing black people otherwise hitherto had in the eyes of those whose destroyed cultural or religious statues meant something very special or important. It is history being destroyed and nobody ever wishes their history to go away just like that, as they are permanently attached to the people as their connection to their past. It is part of who they are as a people and without which, they are not complete or whole. Enough of the destruction. It is time to rein in the vagrancy.

JOE BIDEN IS RUNNING SCARED: WILL NOT BE ELECTED.

ICHEOKU says he cannot even save himself, so how is he going to save America? Joe Biden is simply unelectable and will not be elected president on November 3rd. His days are long since gone, only his shadow is now left and America will not elect a hollowed out Joe Biden as president. In a real world with real world challenges, holograms do not make decisions affecting millions of lives. 

On November 3rd vote wisely and vote to keep America under the  watchful eyes of a president with a can-do spirit and a winning attitude. Please do not set the clock back because Joe Biden belongs in the rearview mirror, vote for a forward ever movement. The journey so far has been good and will only become better, so, don't interrupt the motion. Vote for the other guy, his name is President Donald John Trump an the loves America so much. #4MoreYears. 

JIMMY KIMMEL: WHEN WEARING A BLACK FACE IS TOLERATED AND PERMITTED IN AMERICA.

ICHEOKU says like with everything America through the eyes of the media, Hollywood and liberal leftists, hypocrisy is the name of the game they play. When it suits or affects them it is alright, but when it is the other side that is involved, they must be pilloried and hung on the stake. They make it up as they go and meanders as it suits their narrative. They have no core, they lack character and they have no particular  epicenter on which their conviction revolves. They wake up every day and go to bed every night with fluidity of what is acceptable or detestable, depending on whodunnit. 

It always matters to them which type of politics the offender plays before they adjudge them innocent or guilty and for the same particular offense. They have no one cap fits all standard scale with which they judge people; they have one scale for conservatives and another scale for liberals and all those who play their liberal game of sleazy politics. Once again, they have applied this double standards on the issue of white people who mock black people by wearing a black face and you can understand how indeed they love black people and the Black Lives Matter ideals. They are not sincere with their exhibitionist empathy as they are sniveling hypocrites who do one thing when people are within earshot but unmask their true self in their private moment when nobody is watching or listening. 

It is not just with wearing a black face, but with every other thing they are involved in including their witch hunting "Believe all women" war cry which their #MeToo wing pushed until the woman is Tara Reade and the accused is their Joe Biden. Take another example of their plan through Rod Rosenstein to use Article 25 to remove President Donald John Trump from office due to mental incapacity which their media was pushing until Joe Biden displayed a mental capacity similar to a three year old. They were also creaming get his head on a platter and that there is a need for transparency as they called for President Donald John Trump to release his tax records. They were so maniacally possessed until Hillary Clinton refused to surrender and deleted her 33,000 emails and their "transparency" assumed room temperature. 

Further, during the Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing, they said that there is no need to rush process but turned around to rush their impeachment of the president for a hoax telephone call. Before the 2016 election they castigated then candidate Donald John Trump for saying that he will first wait to see how fair the election was before accepting the result, but ever since the election was concluded and Hillary Clinton lost, she has been challenging the election result and none of these hacks has ever questioned her authority to attack the legitimacy of the president's election victory. 

It is the game they play as instances abound of such blatant display of double standards to things depending on who is involved. They take no prisoners and they play this game for keeps, believing that they are the sole moderator, author and finisher of every thing acceptable in America. Like the hypocritical Pharisees, they want the American people to do as told by them, but never to do what they see them do. They produce violent movies in Hollywood and when people shoot people they blame the NRA for availability of guns as reason for the mayhem without ever taking some responsibility for vicariously encouraging shooting through their movies. 

Before Jimmy Kimmel's own black face surfaced, there were Joy Behar, Jimmy Fallon, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Virginia State Governor Northam, Sarah Silverman, Judy Garland, Ted Danson, Billy Crystal and Kyle Jenner just t name a few white people who have worn a black face. All of them share one thing in common, they are all leftist liberals who pontificate on everything progressive and they also profess their "love" for black people. These are the same people who have been excoriating the president non-stop for his shortcomings, forgetting that the president is also human and that no person is infallible. These hypocrites are to some extent more racist than Alabama Governor George Wallace, only that they mask it under heavy pretentiousness. 

It is pathetic and it is sad watching these people continuously make excuses for their own side of the political divide, but jumps at any given opportunity to pummel those on the other side and for the same offense which those on their side regularly commits. These are liberal white people caught wearing a black face in mockery of black people and only apologized when their excuses could hold no more water. The worst of it all is that these liberal leftists suffered no harm or consequence for their racist act because of the type of politics they play. But people on the other side have been repeatedly vilified, their heads demands and their jobs taken away because the liberals demanded it, yet for the same offense which their side commits and gets away with. 

Their excuse is usually that there were meant as harmless joke as they merely sharing blackness with their black friends and you wonder why the disparity in reaction and treatment of people involved with such a racist display. What the liberal leftist do in issues involving American people is akin to Black Lives Matter's selective angst when black lives are taken. From their anger, it would appear that black lives only matter to them when taken by the police, but never when their fellow black people were the one who took a black life. If wearing a black face is condemnable as racist, why then should it matter who wore it or should its racist connotation be selectively applicable depending on the person behind the black face. Why should the politics of the wearer factor into whether or not it is a racist behavior. 

Megan Kelly was fired from her job at NBC because she once wore a black face. She is a conservative female and a bimbo blonde. But since her firing, many people have been discovered as having won black faces, yet none of them was fired from their job and those in elected offices like Justin Trudeau and Governor Northam refused to resign. Nothing happened to their careers just because they play the woke politics of liberalism. They usually pretend to love black people in public but in private lay scorn and abuse on black people, using the N-word and mocking them by wearing black face and sometimes mimicking the monkey in the process. They would rather lie about their love for black people but they do not live in black neighborhoods, have no real black friends, do not attend black church, do not eat black food, their kids do not go to black schools, they have no black colleagues at their jobs and they mock black people when nobody is watching. 

When Black Lives Matter protests that black people are treated differently in America, the same black face wearing liberal leftist will be the first to rise in unison to say it is true, but it is only by the president. These people are nuts and are shameless. Why the double life? Why live a lie with such a guilty conscience which pangs must be so torturous.  It is sad and it pitiful; and it is a definition of the enemy within, because with friends like these people, Black Lives Matter do not need an enemy. These people are leprous,  especially those of them who continuously judge President Donald John Trump while hiding their own racist inclinations and tendencies. They are demonic minions from hell seeking to foist trouble in America and it shall not be well with them. They put up a facade of deceitful, slimy, plastic smile and underneath it they are laboring with a heart that is evil and laden with bad intentions towards black people. Simply Pharisaic.

BUBBA WALLACE CAN NOW BREATH AS FBI GAVE HIM CPR.

"First off, I want to say how relieved I am that the investigation revealed that this wasn’t what we feared it was," Wallace said after NASCAR initially reported a noose was found in his team's garage at the Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday. I want to thank my team, NASCAR and the FBI for acting swiftly and treating this as a racial threat. I think we’ll gladly take a little embarrassment over what the alternatives could have been. Make no mistake, though some will try, this should not detract from the show of unity we had on Monday and the progress we’ve made as a sport to be a more welcoming environment for all." - Darrel Bubba Wallace. 

ICHEOKU says with those words the man who started the NASCAR noose controversy summarily brought same to an end and hopefully the ever race-stoking media will now allow the matter to rest. Call it racial paranoia that an ordinary garage door pull-rope was made into a racially charged noose that nearly boiled over before the FBI determined that it was not. It is commendable that Bubba Wallace saw reason in the FBI conclusion and decided to end the controversy, primarily fueled a rush to judgment. It was unfortunate that many people including ICHEOKU compared Bubba Wallace to Jussie Smollett, but unlike Jussie Smollett, who despite the abundance of evidence to the contrary insisted on his victimhood, at least Bubba Wallace shunned making the story political. It was investigated and he accepted the outcome of the investigation and now wants the case closeD and permanently put behind him. Wonderful.

Good enough too, the other side rallied around him despite being the target of the rage generated by the controversy; unlike New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, who the opposite side did not allow to exercise his First Amendment right to free speech about American flag. ICHEOKU says personally does not like it when sports people mix sports with politics because of the hybrid nature of their fans who have varying political beliefs. But since sports is what gave their voice power, does not mind their adding their voice as they see fit to the political discuss in the nation as basketball King LeBron James frequently does. 

ICHEOKU is emphatic that there is more tolerance on the right side than there is with the left side, which always insists that it is either their way or the highway. Imagine if a conservative racer had said that "Black Lives Don't Matter or that All Lives Matter", what the left would have done to him including demanding that he be fired by NASCAR and that all sponsors pull their ads. But he said what he said in a proverbial showing a bull the red cloth, yet he was supported not scorned. Instead of ostracizing him, they rallied around him and gave him their brotherly love, believing that he has right to his politics and freedom of speech. Tell that to the left and you are toast. 

Anyway, lets hope that the matter is now rested and that the guy is honorable enough not to allow himself to be used as a pawn in the ongoing cultural war between the right and the left, admitted that his initial fears were well founded. Hopefully too, what happened will not become a distraction to both NASCAR and to himself, because once fans start seeing him as an agitator, it is over for him. Also lets hope that some fans will not start boycotting NASCAR for their rush to decisions including banning the confederate flag which some people attach emotional wellbeing on. ICHEOKU says does not know about Bubba Wallace's winning record in car racing and never heard of him until the noose controversy erupted, but many people including ICHEOKU now knows him. But hey, all is good that ends well.

THE FIGHT FOR CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES: WHAT'S THE POINT ANYWAY?

ICHEOKU says presidents always nominate and fight to have confirmed, associates Justices of the Supreme Court who share their ideological viewpoint on the direction of the country. They do this primarily just in case an issue in which they are interested make it to the Supreme Court, believing that their confirmed Justices will understand the imperativeness to rule in favor of their position. 

This is why severe battles are usually fought in the process of anchoring Justices in the apex court of the land and why only Judges who share the president's policy thinking and objective directions are always the preferred nominees. They are chosen with an implicit but unspoken understanding that they will always stand by the president in their decisions. It is believed that by their appointment, an unbreakable bond of shared policy objectives have been established between them and the president. But when some of these supposedly conservative Justices continuously rule against the policy direction and objectives of a president, who nominated them and fought so hard to get them confirmed, it triggers the question whether the war for their confirmation was even worth fighting for. 

Why would such Justices become a thorn on the flesh of the president or did they not accept the nomination with a  basic understanding that their appointment came with a condition, a string, that they will always reciprocate the gesture of their appointment by ruling in favor of the president's policy initiative and direction. Is it possible that they lied during their interview process that they share the same policy views as the president, only for them to, after confirmation, reassume their old true self and left the president wondering if he was duped by them. 

This reasoning is poignant because there were so many other dye in the wool candidates who could have been nominated for the position had the president known that those he was nominating then were not deeply vested in his line of thinking on the policy direction of the country. Why did they accept a job with a condition subsequent when they know that they are not going to keep their own side of the bargained benefit. Such makes the persistent complaint by the president of an existing Deep State cabal in Washington DC ever more plausible. Watching these seemingly concerted effort to always diminish and embarrass the president by everyone in Washington DC, including those in silky black robes somewhat gives the existence of the Deep State some credibility, otherwise why the concert of anti Trump tendencies. 

It is always conservative Justices who often engage in this shifting of loyalty and are always aligning forces with the political left, instead of deferring to the political right that got them into the Supreme Court. They seem to unduly seek the approval of the left and to show their objectivity on issues, unlike their liberal democratic counterparts who always go for the broke, all or nothing decisions in favor of their leftist agenda. Similar deference to leftist causes also happens in the Congress as Republicans members of Congress sometimes see merit in their Democratic opponent's argument; but their opponents never reciprocate the gesture of "understanding an opposing viewpoint" but rigidly follows their own party's policy position unapologetically. 

So, why does Congressional Republicans and their conservative Supreme Court Justices often cross the aisle of "understanding the issues of the other side", but which favor is never returned by their Democratic and liberal Justices counterparts. The later are always opposed to the Republicans and their conservative ideals, regardless of the merit or persuasion. The liberals are usually not persuadable and they see conservatism as being parallel opposed to what they believe and stand for. But the frequency of the  Republicans  bending over to cede a position to the Democrats is such that it would be better just blending them into the Democrats and forget about them, instead of the pretentiousness of having two ideologically opposed two parties. 

Why is the president the only one who seem to be indeed concerned about conservative causes and is often left alone at the business end of the liberals long swords, while other supposed conservatives look on, askance and seem to cheer and enjoy the public spectacle being made of the president by forces bent on remaking America in their own warped utopian image. Several times have the Justices made rulings and decisions which support the opponents of the president's position and you wonder whose side are they really on anyway. They seem to be oblivious that they were put in the Supreme Court as Generals to cover that flank on the cultural/social reengineering war going on in America. But cases after cases, instead of being loyal team players for conservative causes, they continued to overrule the president and you wonder how frustrated it must be for a president who went into the battle of repositioning America only to discover that his Generals were not as committed to the cause as he is and had expected. 

ICHEOKU is not questioning the wisdom behind these rulings which always went against the grain of the primary reason they were put in the Supreme Court, but wonders why it is only the supposed conservative Justices that are prone to delivering this anti conservatism rulings. Why doesn't the liberal Justices similarly rule against liberal causes and as frequently often as their conservative Justices rule against conservative causes. As most people knows, most cases that make it to the Supreme Court are usually political in nature, seeking a pronouncement to back an ideologically driven political position. They are competing positions, usually on a highly contested cultural/social issue of great importance to both the right and the left of the political divide, with the Supreme Court as the final arbiter of what goes and what stays, The proverbial last bus stop, yet they rule as if the conservatives have another layer of authority they can appeal to. 

Why don't the Justices understand what is at stake, an ideological battle between two polarities, and then align forces accordingly as expected of them. It should not be a question of choice between conservatism and liberalism, as the Justices should have automatically queued up behind the right causes as members of Team Conservatism. This was the main reason they were nominated and confirmed to the Supreme Court, to always rule in favor of the party's position and not aspire to earn the admiration of the Democratic liberals. Election has consequences, the Democrats will readily tell anyone who questioned their stringent positions on things when they are in power. So, why can't the same ideological imperativeness guide the conservative Justices in their rulings. If President Trump had not won the election based on his conservative promises, the Justices would not be seating in the Supreme Court today. 

But it appears that the Democrats ate their cake and still kept it. The same liberals who  viciously attacked and opposed the nomination and confirmation of the Justices are now the ones benefitting from their rulings. They are the ones winning and gaining all advantages by the presence of this Justice in the Supreme Court. Is it a case of caveat emptor, buyer beware; otherwise what is the point then of fighting to have certain philosophically and ideologically minded Justice in the Supreme Court. What do the Justices expect Congressional conservative Republicans and the President, who fought to put them in the Supreme Court, to do in the face of such several disappointed decisions and rulings against their policies. This forces the question, whether it was worth the effort put in the fight to nominate and confirm them; was it worthy of the trouble. 

It does not make sense ruling against the president and by their agreeing with the liberals, they are telegraphing a message that the conservative ideology is stale, no longer tenable and should be discarded. They are asking everyone to yield and agree with the liberals viewpoint and position on things, to queue up behind liberal's take no prisoner approach to issues, to allow liberals to remake America as they see fit and finally to shut their traps in supreme obedience to liberal take over of America. If the president will not get his Muslim travel ban upheld, his immigration order upheld, his repeal Obamacare order certified; his Census citizenship question requirement upheld; his gay civil rights order upheld and his DACA order signed off on by the Justices, what then is the benefit of having them appointed to the court or overall utility of their conservative credentials. 

To the knowledge of the Justices, these promises were the cardinal issues upon which the president ran for election and was elected into office in 2016 to fulfill. They were appointed to the court by the victorious president and suddenly they now have issues with the same policy objectives that got the president elected and which, peradventure, also got them appointed to the Supreme Court. They literary owe their associate membership of the Supreme Court to these policies, because without them the president would not have been elected into office, without which he could not have appointed them to the court. So, why then make rulings against the president's implementing the same policies which got him elected and also got them appointed to the Supreme Court. 

It is simply not easy to comprehend, although they could be trying to balance various competing interests with their liberal rulings which is reflective of the broad spectrum of American people. But why is it always conservative Justices and not their liberal counterparts that always do this, trying to make the other sides happy by ruling in a particular way. If it were their liberal counterpart, they always rule with a predetermined mindset that "elections have consequences" and that in reaping the fruits of a hard won election, they will rule as their Democratic constituents, supporters and donors want. 

Like former Secretary of State Tillerson once said that he plays for the team, ICHEOKU asks why can't these Justices play for the team which put them in the Supreme Court; or at least enter a quid pro quo bargain with their liberal counterparts where for every decision they make in favor of a liberal cause, the liberal Justices will also return the favor through a reciprocal ruling for a conservative cause. This way, their often 'one-sided please I crave your approval' rulings which they make for liberal causes and which goes against conservative causes will not be so glaring disadvantageous. Anyway, those Justices do not contest for elections and they also have a life term in office, so what do they care if a president's campaign promises were not kept. But it is disappointingly very sad watching these conservative Justices always ruling against the president and conservative positions and causes. Was the fight for their confirmation worth the trouble?

FAKE NEWS MEDIA: TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY DISINGENUOUS.

ICHEOKU says they never cared in the past about or to show President Donald John Trump's usually over-filled campaign arenas; and even when the president prods them to show it, his pleas always land on deaf ears, met with stone cold silence and the refusal to pan around their cameras to show the humongous crowd. They frequently told their listeners that crowd sizes does not matter; that the people who throng at the president's rallies are not necessarily his supporters but people who have nothing to do and just went there for the fun of being there; that what they see does not represent the president's actual voter base and that they should not worry or fret about it, but to simply disregard it as inconsequential in determining voter enthusiasm. 

But suddenly, Tulsa Oklahoma happened and it was the first time a MAGA rally arena was not filled completely up to the rafters, with an overflow of teaming supporters outside and it was an all hell broke loose in the land of fake news media, now parroting that the people of America have abandoned the president, the reason they did not show up for his rally. This is the narrative they went to town with and are going into frenzy pushing it, but failed or rather refused to mention the underlying events that brought the outcome. 

They did not mention the effect which coronavirus pandemic had on some otherwise would be attendees who were too scared to show up; they did not mention the non stop hysteria they created by continuously warning people about the risk of contracting coronavirus at an indoor arena which possibly spooked some would be attendees; they also did not factor in the Black Lives Matter protests which are going on in the country either. As far as they are concerned, the narrative is that President Donald John Trump could not fill a 19,000 person capacity arena and that was a sacrilege. But the same people have no problem when Joe Biden could not fill a 200 person event room or when his last two last public events could not draw enough persons to fill all the social distancing circles drawn in the room where the event took place. 

The same Fake News industry were once questioning the president's mental fitness for the office which he occupies, which was emphasized more when the former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wanted to wear wires to entrap the president in order to invoke Article 25 to remove him from office. They were drumming this narrative continuously until Joe Biden ventured on the stage as a fully demented hologram zombie and they immediately stopped because they saw a worse case than whatever the president might be suffering. The Fake News media also once championed the "Believe all women" anti men refrain until Tara Reade wanted to be also believed, but because Joe Biden was involved as her alleged attacker, they stopped believing women and ended the charade. Such story is replete everywhere and as the Fake News media determines.

Also for the first time ever, Joe Biden's campaign raised $6 million more than the Trump's campaign raised in May, $80 million and $74 million respectively; and for them, it was yet another indication that the American people have abandoned the president. But all the past several months the president was out raising Joe Biden by at least 4 to 1 in more campaign funds was not a big deal to them. Anyway, anyone still looking for evidence that the fake news industry is real and deeply vested in the Democratic Party should look no further, as these incidents showed beyond all shadows of doubt that they are a wing of the Democratic Party. But on November 3rd, the Martha Raddatz led crying wing of the Fake News media will once again wail and cry as they once again bemoan their fate that President Donald John Trump has been reelected for a second term because he will. 

A very pitiful people who no longer knows how to mask their crass partisanship, but are now openly thrusting it at everybody's face without a care in the world. The media is supposed to objectively report the news as it happened, but not the fake news media. But woe to them all liberals hacks masquerading as news journalists who are blinded to the truth because of their implicit bias against President Donald John Trump just because he won the presidency in 2016. It shall not be well with them for their never ending misleading narratives against the president and as a punishment to them, the president will be reelected on November 3rd, case closed. #4MoreYears.

JOHN BOLTON'S ABC INTERVIEW: SHOWS A TATTLETALE WHO IS SIMPLY SO FULL OF IT.

ICHEOKU says if all there is in his new book were as summarized in his ABC"s interview by Martha Raddatz, then there is nothing in the book worth spending time on spinning or even wasting a dime buying the book. John Bolton wants the world to believe that his words are infallible and that he has no reason to make things up as any disgruntled former employee usually does. If he was so riled by what the president said or did during the time he was in the White House, why did he not resign in protest then, when it would have mattered most. Why did he wait until he was fired to now regurgitate  fables and wants American people to believe it as a gospel truth. There is no video or audio recording of any of the incidents or conversations he alleged took place between him and the president; there are no witnesses to vouch for their veracity either, yet he wants everybody to take his words for it that they took place simply because John Bolton said so. Interesting. 

Anyway, as he personally admitted, none of the allegations was a crime nor an impeachable offense, even if they happened as he said.  So, what then is all the hullabaloo about that John Bolton is seeking to profit from his time in the White House by writing a book of fantasy which veracity is extremely suspect. ICHEOKU says does not know about you, but the fact that John Bolton even wrote the book on itself is enough to diminish him and vitiate any credibility to the book whatsoever. Why would anyone entrusted with such a highly sensitive position which requires optimum confidentiality now turn out to become a rat. This is exactly the reason the street enforces the code of snitches get stitches. John Bolton is busy psychoanalyzing the president and he never told American people when and where he obtained his psychological degree; but he wants American people to believe that their president is incompetent, unintelligent and not deserving of the highest office in the land. 

ICHEOKU says to John Bolton that there is nobody that knows it all, including any president; the reason they usually appoints people with requisite knowledge to run the various departments on their behave and also to serve as advisers to the president on different issues. This is a man who on so many occasions, some even captured on video, showering praises on the president on how he is fighting for America like no other president before him and he remained the president's town crier number one until he was fired from his National Security Adviser job and now this turncoat. 

Many people, including Michael Savage were against his appointment because they feared he was going to cajole the president into starting another war for the military industrial complex racketeers to make more money from. But no person ever foresaw nor suspected that he was going to become the turncoat traitor he has become, ratting on privileged confidential communications and making some of them up as he wrote his book. Everybody trusted his conservative credentials, including the president, the reason he was appointed in the first place, but this betrayal stinks to the high heavens, whether or not they are true. 

Anyway, the book like many other books before it will also flop, not only because it is too expensive but many people are not interested in what it rehashed. American people are tired of fired White House staffers trying to bilk them of their money by writing books of tall tales which are not verifiable. Moreso, Alaska was not sold to the Russians by the president nor did the president cede California to China, so what exactly is the beef which John Bolton had to share in his book that he wants people to buy. Spending hard earned money on chronicled rantings of a disgruntled former employee who lost out in the battle for power in the White House between him and Secretary of State Mike Pompoe and Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin is a bad idea. 

John Bolton did his best but it is not good enough to derail the president's reelection chances as President Donald John Trump will be reelected on November 3rd for a second term. It does not matter how John Bolton decides to vote on November 3rd, his one vote will not a difference make in the outcome of the election. Lucky enough too, he has no followers and nobody will vote in any particular way just because John Bolton influenced their decision. That mustachioed walrus is creepy and like the president appositely remarked recently, 'the bombs which John Bolton likes dropping on people and killing them, will land on his own head soon by way of criminal penalty for publishing classified communications and also losing the $2 million which he made from his tattletale book of infamy. Like John Bolton admitted, his book will come and go and nobody would pay any attention to it as ti influence anything. Shame on John Bolton.

JOE BIDEN HAS NO ANSWER TO THE TRUMP QUESTION.

ICHEOKU says after watching the MAGA rally in Tulsa Oklahoma, what will Joe Biden do in response or in counter. Will he try to do something immediately to get back into the prime time or will he just hunker down in his basement forte and be sullen about it. But even if he wants to hold his own rally, will his basement be big enough to hold his usual 200 person in attendance gathering. If he chooses to do it in a somewhat bigger arena, will the fear of coronavirus allow him and if, where will he find the crowd needed for such an event. ICHEOKU says it does not seem like Joe Biden has an answer to the Trump's question as there is really nothing he can do to counter Trump's MAGA rally. He knows that he is not a march to President Donald John Trump and cannot possibly stand his tornado force. Hillary Clinton couldn't do it with her much smarter self, talkless of Joe Biden who is so feeble and weak and nearly demented. 

But who knows if Joe Biden will still agree to debate President Donald John Trump in the fall during the presidential debates or will he just chicken out, blame the coronavirus as  a reason for it because six feet social distancing cannot be adequately maintained; moreso it will be very difficult for him to debate with a face mask on. Will Joe Biden instead, say never mind, my time is up and lets just forget about the debate or will he man up and debate the president as he debated Bernie Sanders in a zero crowd environment, while maintaining social distancing with the president. ICHEOKU says anyway, does not know about you, but if what took place in Tulsa is evidence of what is facing Joe Biden this fall, then Houston, Joe Biden got a problem. 

TULSA DID NOT DISAPPOINT: THE PRESIDENT DELIVERED AS USUAL.

ICHEOKU says as expected, the president did not disappoint, he once again delivered on his signature campaign style mesmerization of the MAGA family gathered at the Tulsa arena, as well as the millions who watched from the comforts of their homes. His message is clear, Joe Biden does not possess the mental equilibrium to be an option on November 3rd and therefore should not be wasted any vote on. ICHEOKU says agrees that Joe Biden's days are since over and now behind him; and so should American people help put him back into retirement on November 3rd. Voting for or electing Joe Biden is not and should not be an option to be considered by any sane and rational voter as there is more to the presidency than lamentations of what is wrong. You got to have the commitment, energy and sound mind to govern. Unfortunately, Joe Biden does not possess any of these three requirements any longer and should be helped off the political stage for the last time and permanently on November 3rd. 

But does Joe Biden has a plan on how to respond to or counter what was at display in Tulsa. An event, which despite the fear of the coronavirus, the BLM protests and the rabid media nut-jobs who have been campaigning against it non stop for quite some time now, still recorded the success it did. Thousands of people still showed up, patriots, who love America so much and are ready to reassure the president that their loyalty to him has not waned. They came out in large numbers to affirm that they will stand their ground with Make America Great Again and will vote to reelect the president on November 3rd, to enable him continue to fly the flag of Americas greatness. Imagine what the atmosphere would have been if not for the perfect storms of a coronavirus, a possessed media and of course the ongoing George Floyd's triggered Black Lives Matter protest which captured the nation's attention and somewhat took off some shine from the MAGA rally by forcing some supporters away from Tulsa. Some due to fear of coronavirus and others for fear of their safety. 

But against all odds, it was a successful first outing for the MAGA USA family since the coronavirus lockdown and it can only get better, huger, bigger and larger going forward. If after two weeks from hence, there is no exponential increase in coronavirus infections and hospitalizations in Tulsa, Team Trump should follow the Tulsa rally with rapid fire rallies around the country. They should dominate the airwaves and political discussion fora with President Donald John Trump rallies and let the nation once again become enveloped in the Trump Fever Mania. As it was before the lockdown so shall it become going forward; and going by the number of people who showed up in Tulsa, it is obvious that MAGA family is back and ready for the journey to November 3rd when another  history will be made by reelecting the president for a second term. ICHEOKU says congratulations to the team that made Tulsa happen and kudos to a courageous president who continuously push forward despite the amassed forces against him.

HAPPY JUNETEENTH AMERICA.

ICHEOKU says hopefully the nation can now begin to heal from the upheavals of the last several weeks since George Floyd was murdered. The 155th anniversary of the last black slaves becoming aware of their freedom is a good time to draw the curtain down on all the protests which erupted since his murder. May the craziness of the past few weeks now stop in honor of the memories which Juneteenth represent. 

ICHEOKU says was going to ask why it is ok to keep Juneteenth flag but it is not ok to keep the Confederate flag which signifies the reason for Juneteenth. Without black people being held as slaves, there would have been no need for emancipation or later notifying slaves in Galveston Texas that they are have become free. Symbolism is everything and forms an important aspect of humanity and for its preservation, all these conflicting interests insignias should have been kept because without one, there won't be the other. 

If you are flying flag of emancipation, it necessary follows or should follow that the flag of confederacy that kept the slaves should also equally fly to drive home the message of what triumphed over the other. Light over darkness. Christians keep the cross not because Jesus is still on the cross, but as a daily reminder to them of what Jesus went through in order to purchase them forgiveness of sin. If we have destroyed all the crosses, how would anyone be reminded the agony of what he went through in Gethsemane. Historical records are kept as a memory bank of what once was, in an effort to provide a guide going forward and in order to avoid the pitfalls of the past. 

All those statues being demolished is plain whitewashing of historical facts, without which, the people and generations to come will be ignorant of what once was, then learn to appreciate how far the nation has come, as they continue traveling on the journey to improve what is, towards their common aspiration of what should be. But like William Shakespeare admonished humanity in Julius Caesar, mob mindset can be a dangerous thing and America is witnessing its claws. If people demolish statues of slave merchants, how then would they explain how they got to America in the first place? 

Anyway, may all the protests now end and let America begin to work towards a more perfect union, with greater emphasis placed on jobs and security for black people as well and not all the superficial symbolisms of destroying centuries-old statues which will not in any way improve anybody's life. Enough of the destruction. Happy Juneteenth folks.

JOHN BOLTON IS A DOPE: DON'T BUY AND DON'T READ HIS BOOK.

ICHEOKU says this man should be rather ashamed of himself for betraying the trust of a confidential presence. He was appointed to such a position of high trust and extreme confidentiality and all he did in return is to rat on what his then privileged position made him privy to, assuming they are true. What a man of crass, who has no strength of character or honor to keep certain confidences secret. 

ICHEOKU really does not care nor give a damn if everything in his book is true, it doesn't matter. What matters is that he was an enemy within, who kept quiet and enjoyed the privileges of the office until he was fired and now this. If they happened as he claimed and he was distrust about them, why did he not protest then or resigned in protest simultaneously as they occurred. But after the fact, just because he was fired from his job, he now decided to take his pound of flesh. Anyway, John Bolton be damned as he cannot separate Trumpers from their president and on November 3rd, the president will be reelected for a second time, regardless of the trashy Bolton Book. What a mustachioed nimrod.

TULSA 2020: MAGA RALLY RESTARTS.

ICHEOKU says congratulations to MAGA USA 2020 for restarting it's engines with a rally in Tulsa Oklahoma on June 20th, 2020. It is from now a non stop revving to November 3rd, when the president's contract with American people will be renewed with four more years in the White House. The president has worked hard enough to earn a second term and he will be rightly rewarded with a victory on November 3rd. Now lets MAGA family bring down the roof in Tulsa. #4MoreYears. #MAGA_KAG. 

FULTON COUNTY DA SHOULD KNOW: 'I GOT HIM' IS NOT AN ADMISSION OF GUILT.

ICHEOKU says watching the Fulton Country District Attorney Paul Howard Jr news conference showed a man under heavy pressure to deliver for his Atlanta black community on the death of Rayschard Brooks.  The pressure was so palpable that you can see it in both his demeanor and facial contouring and he was sweaty too. He was forced to rush the indictment without first waiting for the rightful agency, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, to complete their investigation. 

It is usually after they make pronouncement that the police officer's conduct warranted an indictment based on their finding, that the District Attorney then indicts. But he chose to presumptuously indict the police officer just to please his black people and such a rather perfunctory indictment for murder, of the police officer, will not stand muster and a trial. A charge of murder which is surely to be thrown out by the judge or on the application of the defense, be dismissed, because what happened, even if it was a crime, did not rise to murder. ICHEOKU is emphatic that no matter how terrible what happened was or may seem, the criminal justice system does not seek to make society feel good, but only to punish a criminal behavior. 

So, based on the circumstances, the police officer did not commit any crime when he acted as he was authorized under Georgia State law, firing back with a deadly weapon at a fleeing suspect who first fired at him with a deadly weapon which he stole from the police. This is the sole soul of the case, the determinant of whether he had the right to defend himself from an assailant who wanted to incapacitate or even kill him while on his hot pursuit. Whether the officer reacted reasonably is a different thing all together; but if as Georgia State's law empowered him, he had the right to react as he reacted, case closed. Some people might not like it, but that is the black letter of the Georgia State's law which classifies taser as a deadly weapon and when attacked with it, the officer reserves the right to respond with a deadly weapon too. 

Now, as regards to the excited utterance made by the policeman when he finally made contact with the dying victim that "I got him", it is not an admission of guilt. The expression could be interpreted in so many different ways including that he finally caught up with the suspect after chasing him upon his fleeing from the police to elude arrest. The officer did not immediately begin shooting at the victim upon the chase; he only returned fire when Rayschard Brooks fired at him. He had no intention to kill Rayschard but just wanted to arrest him for drunk driving. The victim resisted arrest, fought off the policemen, stole their weapon and then ran off, causing the chase to begin. 

Even the police officer stepping on the victim's wrist to hold him down shows that the officer did not know that his shot was fatal and thought that Rayschard was still a continuing flee risk. The officer did not say "I killed the Nigger" or "I killed the SOB", which would have registered his malicious intention and that he deliberately wanted to kill him. He did not, it was nothing deliberate as the officer merely wanted to take him into custody and keep other road users safe from a drunk driver. There is also a glaring evidence of their mutual respectful conversation which showed that things were going smoothly until Rayschard decided to escalate it by resisting arrest, fighting the police, fleeing and shooting at the police in his hot pursuit. 

But unfortunately, a showboating District Attorney, playing to the gallery of political correctness and desperately trying to win some points from Black Lives Matter, went out of his way to indict for murder and you wonder where was the malice aforethought. The officer never left for work that day intending to shoot and kill Rayschard Brooks or any other black man for that matter. Everybody saw the various video clips of how both men started off cordially and courteously before the victim decided to surprise the officers by doing exactly the same time which he had earlier assured the police officers that he will not do. According to the victim, he acknowledged that the police officers were doing their job and that he will comply with whatever the ask of him, before changing his mind when the handcuffs came out because he did not want to go to jail for drunk driving. 

Thanks for video cameras, every of their interaction were captured and it is no longer second guessing what transpired. So, all those carrying water for the victim should in fairness also speak to what the victim did wrong, many things, to bring about the harm that was done to him and these officers whose conscience is forever stained with taking another person's life. They did not intend to so do but the victim forced their hand, admitted they could have shown more restrain, but the heat of the moment proved otherwise. ICHEOKU's verdict is that the officers will beat the charges, the officer indicted with murder will also beat the murder count. If the case is not completely dismissed, they will be acquitted following a trial on all the counts including stepping on the dead body as everything happened under the same unbroken chain of passion starting from the resisting of arrest. Even manslaughter is not tenable because the Georgia State law exculpates the officer and completely exonerates them.
