(PHOTO FROM THE CAPITAL) WHEN A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS---WHAT WE CAN CALL A REAL PHOTO DUMP!!!
In previous posts, CP has covered the case of Baltimore Judge Askew Gatewood who has apparently dumped--illegally dumped, tons of debris on his waterfront home. As the poor judge sinks deeper into his own dump in response to the ensuing legal situation, he and his lawyers now blame this on politics, John Leopold and because he is African American!
This is what The Capital reports:
They [his lawyers] said Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler is singling out Judge Gatewood for "considerably more severe treatment than others who are alleged to have committed similar violations" because of his prominence in the community and maybe even because their client is an African American.
Oh good grief. This man is supposed to uphold the law without prejudice. Now he is being tried for violating the law by those sworn to do the same. Well-did you do it or not Judge Gatewood? That's the issue. You have risen to a position of power, respect and prominence in our society. Did that happen because you are African American or because you deserved the position and worked hard to attain it? None of us can have it both ways. Did you violate our trust? If you deserve to be a judge because of your merits, then we will try this case on its merits. How many times did criminals come before you and swear they were being singled out or mistreated?
I think you knowingly violated the law (well--you are a judge!) and thought you could get away with it because you are a judge. Doubly-bad! Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Now that Attorney General Doug Gansler has been accused by your lawyers of taking you on because of your race, let us see what Mr. Gansler's Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Carl Snowden has to say. As I said, it's the last resort of scoundrels.
What will you say next--that it amounts to a high tech lynching???
