Racketeering in North Carolina (that's Sheriff Buck, uh, with a B)
Timothy Birdnow
Wouldn't this be a crime?
From the DAily Caller:
North Carolina State Rep. Carla Cunningham, a Charlotte Democrat with a well-established independent streak, was intensely pressured by her party to vote against a July 2025 override of Democratic Gov. Josh Stein’s veto of House Bill 318, legislation requiring sheriffs to honor ICE detainers. She is now alleging that the sheriff of Mecklenburg County attempted extortion when he suggested that she’d "get hurt” if she helped Republicans pass the bill.
"One of the first things he said was that the citizens of Mecklenburg County would come at me,” Cunningham told the Daily Caller News Foundation, speaking about her phone call with Sheriff Garry McFadden, a Democrat who has long opposed working with ICE agents.
Methinks perhaps the Department of Justice should "come at" Mr. McFadden.
14-16.7. Threats against executive, legislative, or court officers.
(a) Any person who knowingly and willfully makes any threat to inflict serious bodily injury upon or to kill any legislative officer, executive officer, or court officer, or who knowingly and willfully makes any threat to inflict serious bodily injury upon or kill any other person as retaliation against any legislative officer, executive officer, or court officer because of the exercise of that officer's duties, shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished as a Class I felon.
(b) Any person who knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail any letter, writing, or other document containing a threat to commit an offense described in subsection (a) of this section shall be guilty of a felony and shall be punished as a Class I felon. (1981, c. 822, s. 1; 1993, c. 539, s. 1126; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c); 1999-398, s. 1; 2014-119, s. 6(b).)
That's why Sheriff Lucas Buck here couched it the way he did - so he couldn't be accused of making an overt threat, but anyone who knows anything about, say, racketeering, knows what this guy meant.
Remember this is a DEMOCRAT making the allegations.
Util serious punishment is doled out for these crimes they will not just keep happening but will increase in size and number.
I caught Jesse Kelly last night and he was saying that about the Bill/Hillary Clinton refusal to testify before Congress. As Kelly pointed out the Left does this stuff with impunity because they always get away with it. It's time for that to change. Kelly was right; if they get away with it when we are in power they are going to go hog wild, punishing our side ruthlessly, when back in. The only way to stop stuff like this is to stop them at the beginning like they should have stopped Hitler at Nuremberg (a little Godfather quote).
So this sheriff needs to be put through the ringer over this. You can't be using your position to make veiled threats to force state legislators to vote the way you want. That is racketeering.
