In the Gardner of Good and Evil
Timothy Birdnow
Back in 2018 I wrote about the railroading of Missouri Governor Eric Greitens. Now make no mistake; Greitens was and is a sleazeball, and a former Democrat (which is why they so hated him). But the point is the Circuit Attorney (in St. Louis the Prosecuting Attorney or DA is called Circuit Attorney) who targeted Greitens was Kim Gardner.
Gardner was put in office with the generous help of George Soros, as part of his Prosecuting Attorneys Project. She is the BLM prosecutor.
During the Greitens affair she committed repeat4ed acts of prosecutorial misconduct, many of which I chronicled in my American Thinker article. She actively recruited the woman who made the accusations, meeting with her in a motel in Illinois. She refused to use the police to do the investigations, hiring a former FBI agent who was caught lying to the court repeatedly. She simply did not show up for court dates to explain some of her misconduct. She refused to provide evidence to the defense. When push came to shove she did not have the photographs she claimed to possess.
Greitens resigned from office, and she dropped the charges, showing clearly this was political.
The GOP generally didn't go after her. She is a black woman and was elected handily. The Missouri GOP hated Greitens, not just because he was going to ban lobbying by former state Congressmen but also because he was an interloping Democrat. Greitens got no support. Granted, he angered everyone in the party...
At any rate that is far from the end of the story.
Gardner became a rein of terror in St. Louis, She made a list of police she deemed racist and refused to press charges when any of these officers were involved. In fact, she refuses to press charges against black people as a matter of principle.
The result is St. Louis has become much like Mogadishu, with people even shooting up the police station downtown. There has been a massive rise in crime, particularly in the downtown area (which is the heart of any renaissance in the city). Shootings up, muggings up. It's not safe to walk around down there at night certainly, and often during the day.
This decline mostly stems from a refusal of the Circuit Attorney's office to prosecute criminals.
Now we come to the nub of this. A young man who had been arrested for robbery and who was in repeated violation of his house arrest was driving like a maniac and smashed a poor 16 year old girl. She had been in town for a volleyball tournament. She has at least lost both her legs and could still die.
The assailant had no fewer than 50, five oh, counts of jumping his arrest. Kim Gardner simply yawned at that. She never once bothered to take action to revoke his bond.
Needless to say the assailant was black and the victim white.
Gardner's office is trying to say they sent requests to the judge to revoke the bond of the assailant but that the judge didn't do it.
Interesting. First, it's not just a matter of sending a text message (which is what Gardner is claiming), but if it is she could easily produce the texts. She has not done so.
No judge would refuse such a request for jumping house arrest.
In short, the BLM poster girl is lying through her teeth. But that's par for the course with Kim Gardner.
Oh, and when this first happened the Circuit Attorney's office said they didn't file charges against the perpetrator because he had died. Turns out it was a big fat lie; Gardner just wanted to get him off the hook. She lied to the media about what happened.
Gardner is refusing to step down, even though St. Louis Mayor Tishuara Jones (herself a black woman) has called for her to leave.
Missouri State Attorney General Andrew Bailey
has begun the legal process of forcibly removing her from office.
She's going to have to be taken out and this will cause trouble, lots of it. Although the Democrats who run St. Louis seem to realize she needs to go the NAACP and other such groups are coming to Gardner's defense. The NAACP issued a statement saying calls for her removal are "unwarranted".
The St. Louis American, a black newspaper here, has also come to her defense and many "church leaders" in the black community have joined in.
Why? Black people are suffering horribly thanks to Gardner's refusal to do her job.
This is a reverse Bonfire of the Vanities type scenario. Instead of a rich white guy being overcharged and abused by a legal system that wants to prove it is not racist it is a black man being excused by a racist institution for destroying a young girl through vehicular mayhem.
The girl lost both her legs and will be wheel-chair bound for the rest of her life. But Gardner doesn't care.
Equality under the law means just that. If black folks are angry they get a raw deal, shouldn't they be angry if ANYONE gets a raw deal? Kim Gardner is the queen of raw deals.
Any other person would be long gone with her track record. Her conviction rate in 2019 was a pathetic 54%, for instance.
Who suffers most from that? The black community. Most of the crimes being committed in St. Louis are black on black.
In 202 she presided over a 36.1% increase in homicides, a whopping 87 murders per 100,000 residents.
Here
is an example of what St. Louis Police are up against. A woman was arrested after shooting at cops and she was released without charge. You can get away with murder, literally, in Kim Gardner's city.
(BTW St. Louis has a horribly corrupt government. Recently three Alderman went to prison for corruption, including the President of the Board of Alderman. And the city's mayor? Her father - a one-time city insider who held multiple city offices - went to prison for tax fraud and corruption. Now, we don't hold the sins of the father against the child, but one must wonder at a city that elects the daughter of a guy sent to prison for corruption. And there have always been rumors about Ms. Jones as well.
No doubt if/when Gardner is removed she'll run for higher office. Her record is a disaster, making her a rising star in the Democratic Party.
So what will this do to St. Louis? No small amount of revenue comes into the city from conventions and other events. The injured (and maybe murdered) girl was here for a volleyball convention, for instance. What is going to happen is event planners are going to reject St. Louis as a viable option because of the dangers to the safety of those who will attend.
I would say St. Louis has become a laughing stock, but it's not funny.
This city has been under the complete control of Democrats since 1948, I would add. A Republican can't be elected dog catcher here.
Welcome to America's Progressive paradise!
