Wow, Somebody feels the same way I do. Arrest Seth Williams. He’s been colluding with environmental crimes and civil rights violations that risk life, have caused physical injury and much more toward neighbor of a ‘gentrification” project put together by close political friends and allies of his. He’s fully aware of the crimes and harm done and continues to protect his buddies while he endangers the lives of innocents. These are crimes and obstruction of justice. His favorite law firm knows all about environmental due diligence and crime. He was informed when he was Inspector General and continues to cause great harm by allowing these crimes. This is totally different case, but the Seth is definitely a good old boy who will literally kill off innocent citizens in order to protect crimes and money interests of his friends. District Attorneys ARE arrested. You have to turn stuff like this over to Feds and many sources and departments ( and they are all slow, slow , slow) outside of Philadelphia because Philly is corrupt to the top. Lynn A. ignored the same issue, but Seth’s personal friends are involved in the crimes.

“If you undertake a series of actions that are perfectly legal and well within your rights, but that cause government agents to react in irrational ways that jeopardize public safety, you are guilty of endangering the public.”

You can also go to jail for ‘reckless driving’ if enough regular drivers don’t follow the law and you do.

Radley, I’m sure you’ve seen the fine on Joakim Noah for his obviously offensive conduct in last night’s Bulls game… it reminded me of the double standard you speak of here. Interesting that little if anything is being done to investigate or punish the fan who likely provoked Noah, and moreover no one is making excuses for the big man and saying ‘oh it’s an emotional and hard job being an nba player.’ People are all recognizing of course that only one person in the equation is on the job, only one person here is beholden to fans (taxpayers), only one person is in a position of higher respnsibility. Its not just that he’s a rich athlete, its cuz this is common sense. Everywhere but with cops of course.

We all know that Seth Williams is not going to be arrested. It is unlikely any justice whatsoever will come of this. But, in the meantime, here is some more dirt on the Philly DA:

A friend of DA Williams….as a long time resident of Philly….yes, I remember Lynn Abraham. She was horrible.

With Seth’s office laying charges against Mark….is he trying to prove he as as bad as Lynn? From listening to the audio tape, it’s obvious (at least to me), that it wasn’t Mark that should have been charged, but Officer Dougherty!!

I would like to point out a minor, but important inconsistency between the original report and this editorial. The original report states:

“Fiorino said he didn’t lay a trap for the cops. He regularly carries a recorder with him in case he ever has to use his gun and then offer proof of what transpired, he said.”

My husband is a firearms instructor, and has been to several nationally recognised firearms training courses that advise this very thing.

Fiorino wasn’t carrying a recorder in an attempt to document his historical issue with the cops. He was trying to do the right thing and accurately document the facts if he had to respond to a threat with lethal force. It’s a sad world we live in where that recorder came into play against LE instead of its original intended use.

It is probable that the only reason that Mark Fiorino is still alive is Seth Williams (and Police Commissioner Ramsey), under other District Attorneys the police involved may well have decided that it was easier to explain what happened with Mark Fiorino dead.

So, Fiorino should appreciate that DA stepped in to wreck his life rather than let the cops kill him?

Fortunately there are many police, even within the Philadelphia Police and including Police Commissioner Ramsey, who are uneasy when their colleagues threaten, rape or kill innocent citizens.

Uneasy?
