Another Reason Why Liberals Cannot Be District Attorneys

A few posts ago, I wrote there are some jobs in this world that liberals are not qualified for and one is being a District Attorney and prosecutor. I said this because in Clark County, NV., we are about to get us a liberal District Attorney compliments of the 7 member Clark County commission, all who are liberal Democrats. They are going to name a new District Attorney to replace somewhat conservative David Rogers, the former DA.
From the Boston Herald: Here’s the final outcome of the Anthony McKay case:
If you defend your family and property from a knife-wielding druggie in Massachusetts, you’d better be prepared to also defend yourself from the justice system, too.
McKay is the young father who, seeing a local druggie breaking into his truck and stealing the tools he uses to pay the bills, confronted him, subdued him and held him for the police. When the police arrived, they found the bad guy had a knife, a billy club and — thanks to the unarmed McKay — a broken jaw.
Instead of thanking McKay for helping get an armed criminal off the streets, Swampscott officials charged him with a felony. As a Swampscott police spokesman said at the time, “We don’t urge anybody to fight back. We want them to call us.”
Thanks to pressure from readers of the Boston Herald and others, McKay will not be prosecuted. But the Essex County District Attorney’s office has made it clear that they are not supporting your right to self defense.
The Lynn Daily Item yesterday reported that the Essex DA insists the decision to nol pros — decline to prosecute — the case does not mean they think the police were wrong in arresting McKay. “It was not meant to Monday morning quarterback,” said spokesperson Carrie Kimball Monahan.
McKay’s pro bono attorney, Richard Chambers, was told the same thing. “The Essex DA’s office said they are able to prosecute some cases and not others, and this is one of those that they are not going to prosecute.”
In other words, McKay is lucky that the media made an issue out of this outrageous prosecution. Otherwise he could have spent five years in prison instead of working and paying the bills for his three young children.

So, in Clark County, these are the kind of cases we can expect from our new District Attorney, no matter who it is. We are going to get a DA and prosecutors who will defend the criminal and go after law abiding citizens.
And people wonder why we can no longer trust the court system in Clark County. We a judge who is going out with an assistant district attorney who worked in his courtroom and then a vengeful DA and subordinates go on an illegal witch hunt to defame the same judge and ADA. You have a head judge criminal judge who seems unable to keep one of his kids out of jail. Another judge who has presided over 2 sham trials in which a drug company has to pay over $500 million in each trial to some defendants in the Hepatitis C case while the doctor involved doesn't even go to jail or pay a dime in damages. Other judges let out criminals on low bail or fail to prosecute criminals that admit to crimes, like Father Kevin McAuliffe. And the list can go on and on and on.
So, watch out Clark County, we are in for a nasty ride.
