“… Grayson, who faces the possibility of up to 20 years in prison, was one of two Sangamon County deputies to respond to Massey’s call. Half an hour later, Grayson had shot Massey in her Springfield home and told the other deputy not to try to save her.

… When Grayson, then 30, and another deputy arrived at Massey’s home in the overnight hours of July 6, 2024, they searched the property and interacted with her for about 20 minutes. They reported finding evidence of a car break-in but not a prowler.

Grayson then saw a pot on the stove and told Massey to take it off the burner, body-camera footage shows. Massey complied, carrying the pot to the sink. Grayson backed into the living room and said he was moving to get away from “your hot, steaming water.” Massey replied, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.”

Grayson drew his gun, pointed it at Massey and threatened to shoot her in the face, the video shows. She ducked and said “Okay, I’m sorry.

Grayson fired his service weapon at her three times, striking her once in the head.

The other deputy, Dawson Farley, tried to give Massey first aid. Grayson initially told him not to bother because of the severity of her injury and never attempted to give her aid himself, prosecutors wrote in court documents.
Grayson’s body camera was not on during most of the call, and he activated it only after firing his gun. Farley’s camera was on for the whole interaction.…”

Good. He needs to rot in prison.

Vance is very good with Q and A. Like Kirk, very respectful with his critical questioners with no canned answers.

I agree that he came across as being respectful and that his answers to her questions while often dodgy, were interesting to hear.

And don't you agree that the young woman showed courage in asking good questions in front of 10,000 MAGA Ole Miss students ?
 
very funny opening monologue covering Trump's trip to Japan and his "routine MRI:LOL:

Stephen Colbert has a theory about what doctors found on Trump's MRI

Stephen Colbert speculated late Tuesday about the MRI tests that President Donald Trump revealed he had recently undergone.The president went Oct. 10 to a checkup at Walter Reed Medical Center — which raised eyebrows at the time as it was the second visit in a year — and he confirmed this week...

This man should never leave prison.

That body camera footage was horrific.

I suspect that a lot of sound bytes are going to come from that discussion. I wanted to share the whole thing largely because I deeply admire the student for not only showing up, but for having the conviction to ask the questions that needed to be asked in a setting that she knew was potentially hostile - and knowing that she would have to interact with the students who were at the speech on a daily basis moving forward. I'm not sure that I agree that he was wholly respectful - much of his response came off, to me, as condescending, for the sake of audience laughter/clapping, even while I don't believe that he was indifferent towards her.

I found his statement about immigration and unions to be the most interesting part of his response, even though his statement boiled down to "if democrats continue to encourage immigration, even of the legal variety, then republicans will continue to use it as a tool to sew division that will hurt unions, which is something else that we don't want."

I agree he came across as condescending but it was subtle and that is why I posted he came across as respectful. His usual 2028 stump speech often mocks brown skin immigrants like that young woman, but he restrained himself from outright mocking her in person.

The MAGA audience laughing and clapping got his message...

After hearing Vance speak articulately and intelligently, I find myself having the same thought I've had previously....a thought I intend 100% metaphorically:

The US needs better snipers.
