“This is not about me,” the Grim Reaper said on Tuesday, about his decision to take Florida governor and “mini-Trump” Ron DeSantis to court over the state’s coronavirus response. “It’s about citizens having the right to challenge government when they’re not doing the right thing.”
The Reaper – actually attorney Daniel Uhlfelder, who sprung to fame earlier this year as he stalked Florida beaches in hood-and-scythe costume, warning locals about the dangers of Covid-19 – was speaking to the Washington Post.
The Post was https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/12/15/florida-grim-reaper-desantis-uhlfelder/ (reporting) the Florida governor’s response to Uhlfelder’s attempt to force him to close beaches and issue stay-at-home orders.
In short, as an aide wrote in an appeals court filing on Friday, DeSantis says Uhfelder is responsible for an “abuse of the justice system” that has “diverted time and energy from the demands of pandemic response”.
Uhlfelder told the Guardian earlier this year he “couldn’t sleep at night [if I just did nothing]”.
Speaking to the Post, he said: “To say that I distracted from [DeSantis’s] job is laughable, considering he hasn’t done his job.”
Jenna Ellis, the attorney from Colorado representing President Donald Trump in his bid to overturn his 2020 election loss, was fired from her job as a Weld County prosecutor in 2013 for making mistakes on cases, records obtained by The Colorado Sun show.
Ellis “failed to meet the employer’s expectations” and “made mistakes on cases the employer believes she should not have made,” according to a document from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
Another record says Ellis, who held the title deputy district attorney at the Weld County District Attorney’s Office, was fired for “unsatisfactory performance.”
“The employer noted some cases were being processed that did not adhere to the Victim Rights Act,” the state labor department document says. “… There is the appearance in case documentation the claimant did not follow proper protocol for some of the cases she handled.”
The Victims Rights Act is a state law that ensures victims are involved in and informed of the case against their assailant. There’s also a federal version that offers similar assurances and protections.
The Proud Boys are as stupid as they look, decked out in their ridiculous yellow-and-black garb and wannabe military gear, if they thought marauding D.C. streets would leave this community hiding behind locked doors. They only managed to stir things up.
Bent on provocation, the far-right know-nothings invaded our town over the weekend as part of a contingent of marching MAGA sympathizers who can’t come to grips with the unassailable fact that their hero got his butt beat by Joe Biden last month.
On Saturday night, they went to work marching in big and small groups, chanting and looking for fights and other ways to act out their hatred. D.C. Police Chief https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/proud-boys-protest-stabbing-arrest/2020/12/13/98c0f740-3d3f-11eb-8db8-395dedaaa036_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_5 (Peter Newsham estimated) there were as many as 700 Proud Boys or others supporting their cause roving through the city.
The numbers from a night of mayhem: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/trump-rally-violence-proud-boys/2020/12/14/bf2f5826-3e26-11eb-8bc0-ae155bee4aff_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_7 (more than three dozen arrests), four stabbings and Black Lives Matter banners and signs torn and destroyed from at least https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/historic-black-churches-attacked-during-pro-trump-rallies-saturday/2020/12/13/d897bfb0-3d54-11eb-8bc0-ae155bee4aff_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_7 (two historic Black churches), at Asbury United Methodist Church at the corner of 11th and K streets NW and Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church at 15th and M streets NW. At Metropolitan AME, they chanted — as they destroyed the BLM sign — “Whose streets? Our streets!” The banner belonging to Asbury United Methodist Church was set on fire.
The Rev. William H. Lamar IV of Metropolitan AME told his congregation not to be surprised by the “signs, sounds, or fury” of this moment. Yes, the church’s Black Lives Matter sign was destroyed, Lamar said. But he reminded the worshipers — and this city — that for nearly two centuries, Metropolitan has “lifted and lived out an affirmative gospel.”
His message to the Proud Boys: “Black Lives Matter: yesterday, today, forever.”
