Justice in the United States is dead. We are fully in the era of mob rule.

Jonathan Pentland is/was a drill sergeant with the US Army at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.

He got into a confrontation with a young black man in front of his house.

I do not know what lead up to the confrontation, there is no video of it and the media has not reported on it.

The video of the last few minutes of the confrontation went viral with the explicit purpose of shaming Pentland.

We have no context to this whatsoever.  I’m not even going to presume what happened in the 15 minutes before this.

The internet rage mob decided that it saw everything that needed to be seen and concluded that this was a racist white man attacking a black man for being in his neighborhood.

In the week since this incident occurred, he has been thoroughly doxxed.

The local sheriff gave a horrendously prejudicial public statement on this:

 

Keep in mind, Assault and Battery in the 3rd Degree is a misdemeanor punishable by at most, a $500 fine and 30 days in jail.  The sheriff’s statement made this sound much worse than what we saw on the video.

According to the Post and Courier, that’s not enough to satiate the mob.

SC protesters want more charges against White soldier who shoved Black man but none coming

Protesters moved from a Columbia neighborhood where a White Fort Jackson sergeant was caught on video berating and shoving a Black man, to the S.C. Statehouse grounds where they called for prosecutors to issue more charges.

A spokeswoman in his office told The Post and Courier on April 15 that race did not appear to be a factor in the confrontation. Pentland, who has been suspended from duty, did not utter a racial slur during the video, and no witnesses have reported him using one.

[Fifth Circuit Solicitor Byron] Gipson said, because the White man’s actions were not more violent in the video, “It’s not a first degree assault.”

Gipson did not rule out the possibility of more charges pending a further review of the case.

Several people calling Gipson’s office requested prosecutors charge Pentland with “unlawful restraint,” but the state does not have that charge.

I get the feeling that Gipson will be forced to relent to the mob and overcharge Pentland.

The newly woke US Army has thrown in under the bus.

 

Victory starts with the US Army publicly denouncing one of its own drill sergeants over 140 seconds of out-of-context cellphone video footage?

I doubt it.

Black Lives Matter had a full-on protest in this residential community.

 

It is now being reported that the Pentland family has gone into hiding.

Family of Jonathan Pentland moved after protesters attack home following video of soldier accosting Black man

The family of a drill sergeant under investigation for allegedly assaulting a Black man have been moved from their home for their safety, following protesters gathering outside the residence.

The Richland County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that the family had been relocated in a tweet on Thursday, writing: “The protests at the Pentland home have become violent. The family was removed after it was vandalised.

Good job sheriff for making things worse with his statement.

Now, there are some rumors and whispers as to what might have precipitated this event.

 

So it may have been – again, these are just rumors – the victim was a known individual with a criminal history of doing bad things in the neighborhood.

But this context is entirely irrelevant to the situation.  The Army relieved him of duty, the sheriff prejudiced the jury against him, this man’s life has been ruined, his family is in hiding, his property has been damaged, and the mob is protesting outside of his house.

The sheriff and military seem to care more about appeasing the mob than the law.

Justice in the US is dead.  Mob rule is the state of things.  If the mob wants you ruined over a viral video, they will get the powers that be to ruin you because the powers that be are more worried about the mob than justice or the law.

We are now a failed state.

  2. Speak softly and carry an evil grin, among other things.
    Boy was looking to get famous, obviously. Pentland shouldn’t have fallen for it.
    Up here, if they won’t leave you can shoot them.

  3. That dude’s story in the video matches up to what I heard when the story first broke. That he was pestering women in the neighborhood, tried to reach into the girls pants, who then went up to the army dude’s house.

    What I don’t get it why the black dude just wouldn’t walk away. That’s all the sarge wanted him to do – be on his way.

    They’ll keep this up until it’s weapons free.

    This is a good summation of the times.

  4. Scuttlebutt is he had been harassing women, physically assaulted one or two the story differs, and stuck his hands under the shirt and pants of one woman. Other reports said he continually tried to pick up a child and walk away with them. All chatter seems to reference him looking in to garages and windows.

    All stories report that several neighbors went to the big burly Army manly man for help and if those same people are not out there defending him name to the fullest of their abilities they deserve a good break down.
