Bernie Sanders’ ‘criminal justice’ adviser arrested for plotting ‘violent prison break’
Imagine if Bernie ever became president—how many members of Antifa would be in his cabinet?
There is a reason why a lot of Bernie’s supporters are “violent.”It’s because Bernie attracts a very “radical” group of people—the counter-culture revolutionary types. Think a combo of aging “Weather Underground” types meets middle-aged Occupy Wall Street protesters and young Antifa thug—that’s a sect of Bernie’s supporters in a nutshell.
So, it’s not really a surprise when you hear people complain that “Bernie Bros” are “mean” online.
The problem, however, is not so much the online behavior—it’s the real-life stuff that is causing issues for Bernie. Antifa thugs promote Bernie. The shooter who nearly killed Steve Scalise may be on the far-left edge of Bernie’s support circle; however, that circle is closing in on Bernie
Now, we’re learning that his former “criminal justice advisor” was just arrested for plotting a secret and violent prison break.A former advisor on criminal justice issues to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) was plotting a violent prison escape, stashing guns and ammunition inside a soon-to-be-opened prison, authorities said this week.
Nashville police said Wednesday that Alex Friedmann, a prison reform advocate who helped shape the Vermont senator’s criminal justice agenda, spent months plotting an escape for inmates of the city’s detention center. Sanders worked with Friedmann to develop positions on criminal justice in the lead up to his 2016 presidential campaign—positions Sanders still touts.
Davidson County sheriff Daron Hall, at a press conference on Wednesday, said Friedmann hid at least three loaded guns upon breaking into the detention center in December. The break-in was part of “an extremely deliberate and, in my opinion, evil plan” Friedmann developed “over many months,” Hall said.
“What disturbed me most is not that this was about an escape, it was also about loss of life,” Hall added. “Mr. Friedmann, a convicted felon and self-described criminal justice advocate, planted loaded guns with additional ammunition inside the detention center.”
Friedmann, while managing editor at Prison Legal News and associate director at the Human Rights Defense Center (HRDC), helped Sanders go beyond his usual focus on economic issues in 2015. Acting as a consultant for the senator’s office, Friedmann called for Sanders to adopt progressive criminal justice positions such as the abolition of private prisons. Sanders’s current presidential campaign promises to ban private prisons. [Free Beacon]

I wonder if Buttigieg was born gay or if he was sucked into it… /comment of the day stolen from Breitbart (Bobby Mullet)
“Every single gay person I know has some sort of drama going on, back in childhood. Something was happening that we’re not allowed to ask about anymore.”

Not one is born that way and there is no gay gene.
It’s all about abuse – physical, sexual, emotional or lack of a proper role model. Today kids may be indulging because they are rebellious and like to buck the taboo.

Mayor Pete’s Paw was a Commie Professor at Notre Dame …
… can we say, Lavender Mafia – which is the RCC term for the communist-homosexual-atheist-Jesuit-Liberation-theology-spewing priests running the Roman Catholic Church …
When we find the pederast ‘priest’ or professional ‘catholic’ who groomed Pete and molested him
… and find out who planted that ‘Catholic-Grooming-Gang-Banger’ in his path
We will know all about Mayor Pete.
Just a guess … but experience says it has a very high probability.

” Sexual deviancy goes with high-ranking Lefties like beef goes with a hamburger.”
But …. but …. but …. now you can have a “plant based hamburger” …. problem is, plant protein is linked, directly, to lower testosterone levels – turning men into girly-men, one ‘burger’ at a time.

Too bad it wasn’t in NY. No bail is required.
Breeze through, do the paperwork for your record and
promise to show up for a court date and then leave to commit
more crimes.

Doesn’t he look, as you would expect, like a Bernie Bro. Too young for the Weather Underground days and too old for Occupy Wall Street. He felt soooooo out of place and unappreciated.

I remember in the summer of 1974 at the Student Union Building of McGill University that during a regular fire inspection the inspectors discovered a few barrels of a liquid explosive. A few years earlier a few Weathermen from the US were studying at McGill (I believe they were once called draft dodgers) and began stockpiling materials in a basement storeroom.
When they left, they didn’t bother taking their stuff with them. Just leave it for someone else to take care of or get killed. OOPS!
First came the police. Next McTavish Street was blocked off. Building all around were evacuated. And then came the military bomb unit and a rather large, heavily re-enforced military explosives disposal truck. Then it drove away for disposal. Not mentioned in the news and unless you were there, you would never have known.
BTW, the explosive material had decayed and had become unstable. An inspector said you could put out a cigarette in it, just don’t kick the barrels or boom. There was enough to blow off the front of the building and leave not much else standing.
This is the kind of reckless idiots Bernie stands with, along with the various Muslim anti-American and antisemitic groups he can find.
How blind are the Democrats?
I still can’t figure out how an independent can become the party leader? Shouldn’t he be running for head of the Socialist Party of America or at least the Bernie Sanders Party (of one)?

By JOSHUA CAPLAN Feb 2020
U.S. officials have warned Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that Russia is attempting to boost his prospects of winning the White House in 2020, according to the Washington Post.

NO, you are right, but there are a lot of ignorant people that do not have a clue in that picture. And there are a number that should be in prison! I do not see one that is worthy of sympathy or pardon.

Off topic – Bloomberg is also crazy.
He is your wealthy, liberal, elitist. His immense wealth has made him feel even more superior to the peasants. He is used to telling others what to do and believe, so it is no surprise his performance was awful during the DEM debate.
He knows it all better. He doesn’t need to listen to people or his role playing coaches for advice. No, he’s too smart for that. He is now paying people $2500 to spread good press about him all over the internet and social media. He really believes he can purchase the election. The liberal elite just don’t get WHY Trump was elected. It makes them crazy!
This Bloomberg billboard is even sillier. I suppose it is implying that a rare steak is more sophisticated than a well done steak. I prefer my steaks well done too!

Also according to his health care plan, if you are over a certain age and ill, he says you have had a good life and should be denied medical care. He says health care is for the young. In addition he said more cops should be placed in minority neighborhoods because that is the only place crime is committed. bloomberg is not only ignorant, he is racist – and yes this comment he made is racist. Then he said said women should be going to the library instead of Bloomingdales. He is also sexist. don’t forget his wife is a card carrying communist (admitted publicly) and based on his ideas, he is a fascist.

What,I have asked several times, is the problem with the voters of Vermont sending this POS Bolshevik to the US Senate not once but three times? Anyone who supports this old wannabe Stalin has to have the mind of a snake! Can’t blame the Jews,Mexicans or blacks for this.Vermont is 98.5% white. BTW the so-called Vermont Republicans make Romney look like a Klansman.

Even if Sanders were to “win” the election he COULD NOT become “President” …. simply put, each and every State in the union is GUARANTEED a “Republican Form of Government” …… Sanders would not keep that guarantee in force …. thus, the Constitution would be void ….. since the Constitution is the SOLE AUTHORITY FOR THE EXISTENCE OF THE REPUBLIC, the Republic would no longer exist …… without the Constitution, there is NO AUTHORITY for the existence of this country, and, there is NO AUTHORITY for a “government”……… then, the only authority for what ever form of “government” Sanders would put in place would simply be – FORCE OF ARMS.
Do any of you understand the implications of Sanders?????
