Personally - as I watched the video I wished that I was at the Cracker Barrel as the assault took place. I would have stepped in and beat West down. The sight of her daughter seeing her mother being assaulted was hard to take for me.
In truth - knowing that these type of assaults happen every day in Metro Atlanta and that the only reason why this one case got as much press as it did was because of the interracial configuration - the 43 days in jail is the normal. The revocation of bail, the ankle monitor and the ban from Clayton County Georgia was little more than the result of the pressure put on the judge and district attorney by the activists.
Unfortunately next week activists are not going to see this as the standard disposition of an assault case. They are going to make use of this as yet another proof of the 'injustice of the justice system' against Black people.
What they won't look at is the fact that:
- The District Attorney in Clayton County who prosecuted the case is a "favorable person"
- The Judge who tried the case in Clayton County is a "favorable person"
- The Police who arrested Troy Dale West in Clayton county is lead by a "favorable person"
- The Sheriff who jailed Troy Dale West before the trial in Clayton county is a "favorable person"
in short - there is no amount of placement of "favorable people" into the positions of power that would convince them that justice is being dispensed in a way that is fair.
This view won't be reached until:
- There are more wealthy people locked up and more poor people freed
- More White people locked up and fewer Blacks put in jail
- The drug use in the White community is prosecuted as it is in the Black
Sadly as they look for this as evidence of "justice" they seem to be unable to put forth a management plan over the communities that they dominate which would bring the numbers downward to make EQUALITY. They are instead equally content if the number outside of their community are brought upward to show EQUALITY in dysfunction.
Troy Dale West, sentenced in October to six months in jail for assaulting a female Army Reservist at a Morrow Cracker Barrel, is a free man.
Worth County Sheriff Freddie Tompkins confirmed to the AJC that West was released a week ago Friday -- 43 days after he began serving his sentence.
West agreed to a plea deal in October that lumped together four misdemeanors in place of three felony charges, thus making him eligible to work off his time while in jail, Tompkins said. The southwest Georgia body shop owner had roughly 4-1/2 months remaining on his 6-month sentence when he was turned over to Worth County deputies on Oct. 22.
The one story that could get the "Fight The Power" radio station to switch away from:
- Attacks on the 2 Party Switching Black Republicans
- Attacks on the "Tax Cuts For The Rich" as proof that 'This country don't care about Black people'
- Attacks on the new street car project from the King Center to Centennial Park because it will move move Black people out of the community as gentrification accelerates in this prime piece of real estate
IS - news that the White man who attacked the Black woman outside of the Cracker Barrel is out of jail after 43 days.
