ANDREW BRANCA: A world-class Medical examiner in [Zimmerman] trial testified that the beating was "absolutely likely to inflict death or serious bodily injury." That makes it a deadly force attack, justifying Zimmerman's deadly force defense.

from Andrew Branca.

He's like, oh, let's look at all these poor black victims. Trayvon Martin: George Zimmerman was acquitted.

Tamir Rice: no indictment. Michael Brown: no indictment.

Philando Castile: officer was acquitted.

Freddie Gray: officers were acquitted or charges dropped.

Terrence Crutcher: officer was acquitted.

Sylville Smith: officer acquitted. 

Chikei "Rick" Chao was found not guilty after the shooting death of 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton in South Carolina.

The "returning wallet" case could not be verified, but many people confuse it with Ralph Yarl, the black teen shot after going to the wrong house.  In that case, the shooter later pleaded guilty, so it was not a not-guilty verdict.

00:31.  And it's a mystery to her.  The reason these people were not convicted or sentenced must be racism.  It has to be racism.  All these poor black boys.  All these poor black boys.  It must be racism.  Well, let's take a look, shall we, Genius?

Trayvon Martin: George Zimmerman was acquitted. George Zimmerman went to trial on a charge of malice murder.  Here is what he looked like at the scene. Trayvon Martin was trying to murder him to beat his head through a sidewalk.  Those are pictures of George Zimmerman's face.  His nose is broken sideways on his face.  The back of his head was against the sidewalk, so every punch was actually two blows: the punch to the front of his face with Trayvon Martin mounted on top of him, and then the blow of the back of his skull against the sidewalk.  George Zimmerman's face and the back of his head immediately after Trayvon Martin stopped trying to beat Zimmerman to death by beating Zimmerman's skull through a concrete sidewalk stopped Trayvon Martin was stopped only because of a 9 millimeter round shot by Zimmerman through Martin's demonic little heart murderous, little heart.  Zimmerman's nose was broken sideways on his face.  By the way, when the media printed these photos for the public, did you know they printed them in black and white, so you wouldn't know what you were seeing was blood?  Contemptible eyewitness testimony describe Trayvon Martin mounted on top of a fallen Zimmerman, beating him viciously.  The witness testified, "MMA ground and pound style."  Testified Zimmerman was screaming for his life, for help that never came.  A world-class Medical examiner in the trial testified that the beating was "absolutely likely to inflict death or serious bodily injury."  That makes it a deadly force attack, justifying Zimmerman's deadly force defense.  

Did Karmelo Anthony suffer a beating like this or anything everyone is testifying to the contact of Austin Metcalf to Carmelo characterized it as a "soft push."  And they were not in the dark alone they were surrounded by dozens of people including many black people we're supposed to believe we're supposed to believe that Carmelo Anthony had a reasonable belief that Austin Metcalf and Hunter Metcalf we're going to be allowed to be him to death in front of all those black people?

What about Tamir Rice?  Tamir Rice was a 12-year-old in Cleveland shot dead by police.  And you might be thinking to yourself, "Oh my God!  That sounds . . . how could police officers do that?  And there wasn't even an indictment?"  They shot a 12-year-old black boy, a little child . . .

ANDREW BRANCA: It's pure IQ and it's whatever you want to call it, it's hustle, it's drive, it's being clever, it's being aggressive.

Aaron Clarey [online] with Andrew Branca.

The worst people to take advice from about success, happiness, love are the average Americans because they are miserable, fat, poor, and stupid . . .

And they can't figure it out. There's another facet to this.  It's more than just pure IQ, right.  It's pure IQ and it's whatever you want to call it, it's hustle, it's drive, it's being clever, it's being aggressive.  Because when I did consulting work, like one of the first companies, boutique consulting companies I ever worked for, they did a pharmaceutical company consulting research and development consulting.  I don't have a science degree in anything, but it turns out consulting is mostly storytelling.  It's not that much different than law.  You're mostly telling stories to people that they want to pay you to tell them, you know, you tell them what they want to hear, of course.  But I was working with this company, they held dozens of scientific conferences every year, thousands, tens of thousands of people would come to these conferences, and the internet was just coming on board; it was the 90s.  And so all their marketing was still, like they would send postcards; they would mail physical postcards out to people about the next conference. And somehow I finagled access into the back end of their database system and they had started collecting email, this new thing email addresses.  But they had very  few.  They had a few hundred out of hundreds of thousands of accounts.  But I'm looking at these emails and I'm like, "You know, Pfizer.  We got like 20,000 people at Pfizer.  We have hardly any emails, but the emails we all have are . . . they're all the same syntax, they're all first initial, last name @Pfizer.com."  I said, you know what, I bet I can fill in all these blank fields, and apply that . . . so I did that, and then I started sending, you know, doing internet polling, and we made a shitload of money because . . . also, I was running these surveys and then publishing signed expert reports, thought-leader reports based on these surveys.  And there's no one else at this 200 person company who would have thought of that stupid . . . . now, it's probably against the law today to do that, so I don't recommend anyone doing that.  There's probably, you know, internet laws against it, but at the time the internet was the Wild West.  So it was just a clever trick I discerned that made us a ton of money.  At the same time, we had people in our consulting firm who were PhDs in biology, in chemistry, in engineering, and they were supposed to be doing consulting work.  They were supposed to be doing storytelling for us.  They couldn't do it.  They couldn't do it.  They would physically shake standing in front of a client and trying to make a pitch for their expertise.  And I observed that these people with PhDs had a high degree of expertise in a very very narrow silo, in a very narrow sense, and whatever that was they were really great at it.  No question about it.  But the moment you try to move them outside their comfort zone, they collapsed.  They utterly collapsed.  They just couldn't do what I considered the simplest thing in the world, which is to tell a story to compel people to give you money. But they had a high IQ there's no question about about it, but they had some other disability that would not allow them to be more broadly successful.

Don't be too quick to get your gun out, folks.  The moment you point a gun, make someone else aware that you have a gun for the purpose of changing their behavior, you've just checked all the boxes for aggravated assault with a firearm, with a deadly weapon.  That's a felony good for 10 to 20 years in most jurisdictions, often more time with a gun sentencing enhancement on top of that.  Now, you have to justify that conduct as lawful self-defense.  The moment you've made someone aware that you have a gun and are prepared to use it for the purpose of changing their behavior, that's arguably aggravated assault with a deadly weapon good for 10 to 20 years in prison, maybe more, unless you can now effectively argue that affirmative defense of self-defense.  So there's a burden on you now.
