</div><div>After an SUV plowed through a holiday parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin on November 21, killing five people and injuring 48, including many children, hard-right pundits treated the subsequent arrest of Darrell Brooks like a gift.Jennifer Van Laar, the editor of popular conservative blog Red State, <a href="https://twitter.com/jenvanlaar/status/1462876485480431619?s=21" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">tweeted</a>, "FIFTY PAGES in Darrell Brooks' criminal record.

So did Mike Cernovich, who ripped into Chisholm as a "<a href="https://twitter.com/cernovich/status/1462647950941773831?s=21" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">Soros DA</a>," despite Chisholm never receiving money from George Soros or his affiliated PACs.DA Chisholm, as a writer at Red State <a href="https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/11/22/new-prosecutors-office-makes-big-admission-about-suspected-waukesha-mass-murderer-n480071" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">put it</a>, is allegedly a "radical leftist who has sought to institute 'criminal justice reform' via 'bail reform.'" It is insinuated that Chisholm quietly ushered Brooks out on a serious and recent domestic violence charge on $1,000 bail, then rolled it back in the media after the tragedy, claiming that his deputy prosecutor made a mistake (Chisholm has now launched an investigation into the Brooks bail decision).Such commentators are in desperate need of a fact-check.Wisconsin is not like California or New Jersey, which saw bail reform legislation pass in the last few years. It has not had a substantial amendment to its <a href="https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/969/Title" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">bail law</a> in at least 10 years, according to the Wisconsin state legislature's website.However, the current law <a href="https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/969/Title" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">does state</a> that a judge can hold a person charged with a crime in jail pretrial "only upon a finding by the court that there is a reasonable basis to believe that bail is necessary to assure appearance in court."Meanwhile, <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Wisconsin_State_Senate" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">both</a> <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Wisconsin_State_Assembly" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">chambers</a> of the Wisconsin legislature have been dominated by Republicans every year in the last decade.Besides which, if we look at bail reform on a statistical, rather than anecdotal, level, it does not reduce public safety. The vast majority of people facing charges <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a32782804/bail-funds-george-floyd-protests-pretrial-detention/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">return to court</a> regardless of money bail.

But Chisholm has rarely delivered anything on decarceration but talking points. The Democrat, first elected in 2006, has spent much of his career carefully avoiding policies that would make right-wing opponents angry.In 2017, for example, Chisholm explained how he <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/columnists/jim-stingl/2017/08/11/stingl-more-states-legalize-weed-second-offense-possession-still-felony-wisconsin/554080001/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">refuses</a> to categorically drop marijuana possession cases, despite many of his peers elsewhere doing just that.Chisholm is also the orchestrator of a national strategy to increase the use of drug-induced homicide prosecutions to people who sell drugs as murderers, despite people who have overdosed <a href="https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/01/25/drug-induced-homicide-laws-former-heroin-addict-216507/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">often not wanting this response</a>. He has sent Assistant District Attorney Patricia Daughtery to national conferences to evangelize these prosecutions. Daughtery has gone so far as to advise officials to build cases using tactics that are disrespectful to the same people she is supposedly trying to protect, such as <a href="https://drugpolicy.org/sites/default/files/dpa_drug_induced_homicide_report_0.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">using the cell phones of people who overdosed</a>.Additionally, during Chisholm's tenure, Wisconsin had the highest rate of Black incarceration in the nation, with about 65 percent of Black Wisconsinites living in Milwaukee County. University of Wisconsin law professor Ion Meyn has <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/wisconsin-leads-nation-imprisonment-rates-black-people-rcna4160" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">raised concerns</a> that part of this is due to higher prosecution rates and lower plea bargain rates for Black suspects.Amid Chisholm's middle-of-the-road approach to his office, Milwaukee has <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/the-most-dangerous-cities-in-america/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">one of the highest violent crime rates in the country</a>, with 1,332 incidents for every 100,000 residents. His attempt to please everyone and incense no one has achieved little, and there are numerous progressive steps he should be taking. Chances are, the politicization of the Brooks case will increase the DA's timidity and push him in the opposite direction.</div><div>

Object to your politicians handing an election they lost to themselves? You go straight from the streets to the jail, just like in tinhorn dictatorships.There's always been a fringe movement of violent white supremacist vigilantes in America, particularly since the end of the Civil War, but they've never before been embraced by or succeeded in capturing a political party. Today, astonishingly, that's the case in our country.So, what's motivating today's vigilantes and the police who often aid and support them, as in the Rittenhouse case?...<div>=</div></div><div>=</div><div><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/north-dakota-bill-protect-drivers-115646722.html">https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/north-dakota-bill-protect-drivers-115646722.html</a></div><div>
</div><div>11/14/17</div><div>
</div><div>Republican lawmakers in North Dakota are taking aim at protesters with a handful of bills that would make another pipeline protest far more dangerous.The oil-friendly legislature argues that its constituents are frustrated over the protests, which led federal authorities to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/standing-rock-photos_us_5844c3b2e4b0c68e0481849f" rel="nofollow noopener" target="blank" data-ylk="slk:halt construction" class="link rapid-noclick-resp" style="background-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer;">halt construction</a> of the $3.8-billion Dakota Access Pipeline as thousands of protesters braved cold weather and violence for months.A bill that state GOP Rep. Keith Kempenich introduced would exempt drivers from liability if they <a href="http://m.bismarcktribune.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/motorist-liability-introduced-in-response-to-pipeline-protests/article_27bfbbe1-40b3-53ab-a620-3b6e0225fb59.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="blank" data-ylk="slk:accidentally hit" class="link rapid-noclick-resp" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer;">accidentally hit</a> a pedestrian, according to the Bismarck Tribune. House Bill 1203 was written up in direct response to groups of protesters blocking roadways, Kempenich told the paper. He claims protesters were seen jumping out in front of vehicles.“It’s shifting the burden of proof from the motor vehicle driver to the pedestrian,” Kempenich said. “They’re intentionally putting themselves in danger.”He admits that the law might be used in cases that don’t involve protests. But a few casualties of justice are apparently worth it; his bill would mitigate instances when panicked drivers might have accidentally “punched the accelerator rather than the brakes” as protesters blocked the roads.<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/north-dakotas-experience-pipeline-protests-spurs-bills-44742385" rel="nofollow noopener" target="blank" data-ylk="slk:Other new bills" class="link rapid-noclick-resp" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer;">Other new bills</a> would be a thorn in the side of protesters and the federal government. One measure would make it a crime for adults to wear masks nearly across the board, while another would allow the state to sue the federal government over millions in extra police costs, according to ABC News.At this point, it’s unclear whether any of these measures stand a chance, and there’s no committee hearing set for HB1203. It might be crazy to think they’re anything more than posturing, dissenters say.“Knee-jerk legislation often is poor legislation,” Democratic state Rep. Marvin Nelson told ABC News.The Dakota Access protests have cost the state more than $22 million and locals are reportedly upset over the rise in crime in the area ― police have arrested nearly 600 people in the region since August.UPDATE: The North Dakota state House <a href="https://twitter.com/NDHouseDemNPL/status/831223592620744704" rel="nofollow noopener" target="blank" data-ylk="slk:voted against the bill, 50-41," class="link rapid-noclick-resp" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">voted against the bill, 50-41,</a> on Feb. 13.[charlottesville date?]</div><div>=</div><div><a href="https://truthout.org/articles/north-carolina-lawmakers-defend-bill-protecting-drivers-who-hit-protesters/">https://truthout.org/articles/north-carolina-lawmakers-defend-bill-protecting-drivers-who-hit-protesters/</a></div><div>

The bills were part of a broader package of anti-protest legislation floated in <a href="https://www.aclu.org/map/anti-protest-bills-around-country" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">at least 19 states</a> after an upsurge in activism over the last year.</div>Of the half-dozen states entertaining proposals to shield drivers who hit protesters, North Carolina is the one where it has the best chance of passing. And despite the violence that recently unfolded in Virginia, the bill’s sponsors have come to its defense, although its prospects appear to have dimmed.A National Push for Driver ProtectionsThe push to protect drivers from suffering legal consequences for injuring or killing protesters <a href="http://bismarcktribune.com/news/state-and-regional/driver-liability-bill-defeated-in-north-dakota-house/article_c796afd7-a884-5a01-91ca-f36ded10c99a.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">began in North Dakota</a>, site of massive protests against the Keystone Pipeline. In its original form, North Dakota’s 2017 bill would have given full liability exemption to a driver who “negligently causes injury or death to an individual obstructing vehicular traffic on a public road, street, or highway.” One of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Mike Brandenburg (R), <a href="http://bismarcktribune.com/news/state-and-regional/driver-liability-bill-defeated-in-north-dakota-house/article_c796afd7-a884-5a01-91ca-f36ded10c99a.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">said</a> the measure would protect citizens against “idiots in masks pounding on [car] windows.”Similar bills soon popped up in Tennessee and Florida, followed by Rhode Island. Next came North Carolina’s HB 330, filed in March by Republican Reps. Justin Burr of Stanly County and Chris Millis of Pender County. Then came Texas’ HB 250, filed in late July by Republican Rep. Pat Fallon of Denton County near Dallas. While the North Dakota and Florida bills offered both criminal and civil immunity for drivers, the others offered civil immunity alone.Most of the bills were short-lived. Rhode Island’s was “held for further study” just a week after it was introduced, and the North Dakota and Florida bills were defeated in committee. The House version of the Tennessee bill was also voted down in committee on March 22 after a Democratic representative cited a tweet from President Trump that incorrectly said hitting protesters in the state was legal.As it stands, North Carolina’s HB 330 and Texas’ HB 250 are the only “hit and kill” bills still under consideration. In North Carolina, the controversial legislation passed the state House in April on a 67-48 vote, with most Republicans in support and all but one Democrat — Rep. William Brisson of Bladen County — in opposition. Texas’ bill was slated to be taken up by the House Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence Committee before being put to a vote.The Reckoning After CharlottesvilleNow, the deadly events in Virginia have revived calls from opponents for these bills to be defeated. As North Carolina state Sen. Mike Woodard, a Durham Democrat, <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeWoodard/status/896520614483156992?ref_src=twsrc%2525255Etfw&ref_url=http%2525253A%2525252F%2525252Fwww.newsobserver.com%2525252Fnews%2525252Fpolitics-government%2525252Fstate-politics%2525252Farticle167100452.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">tweeted</a> on Aug. 12, “Given today’s actions in #Charlottesville, HB330 that allows NCians to drive through protesters without being sued should die in committee.”Meanwhile, the sponsor of Texas’ bill <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/texas-legislature/2017/08/14/texas-lawmaker-bill-protect-drivers-hit-protesters-apply-jackass-charged-charlottesville-murder" style="box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">said</a> he’d received “hundreds” of concerned messages from constituents following the events of the weekend. The bill will almost certainly die in committee, as it was not one of the Gov. Greg Abbott’s 20 special-session priorities. Fallon, the bill’s sponsor, <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/texas-legislature/2017/08/14/texas-lawmaker-bill-protect-drivers-hit-protesters-apply-jackass-charged-charlottesville-murder" style="box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">told the Dallas News </a>that if given the chance he would have moved to replace the bill with one that covered only “high speed roadways.”But the sponsors of North Carolina’s HB 330 used the moment to double down on their support for the measure. Contacted for comment about the bill, Burr’s and Millis’ offices pointed to the lawmakers’ Aug. 14 <a href="http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article167100452.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">statement</a> that said that the North Carolina bill wouldn’t cover incidents like the Charlottesville case because that driver clearly intended to inflict harm:<blockquote style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 2rem 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3rem; border-left: 0.5rem solid rgb(159, 161, 164); line-height: 2;">It is intellectually dishonest and a gross mischaracterization to portray North Carolina House Bill 330 as a protection measure for the act of violence that occurred in Charlottesville this past weekend. Any individual who committed a deliberate or willful act, such as what happened this weekend in Charlottesville, would face appropriately severe criminal and civil liabilities. The one-page bill is tightly tailored to protect innocent drivers exercising due care from individuals from blocking a public street or highway while respecting the right to protest according to the 1st Amendment.</blockquote>The bill originally stated only that a driver exercising due care who injures someone participating in a protest and blocking traffic in a public street or highway “is immune from civil liability for the injury.” A clause that was was added after pressure from critics specifies that drivers won’t be protected from liability if protesters have a valid permit to be in the roadway.While the bill’s co-sponsors are defending their proposal, it faces an uphill battle in the Senate. State Sen. Bill Rabon, the Brunswick County Republican who leads the committee where HB 330 is currently parked, <a href="http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article167100452.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">said</a> there are “no plans” to move the legislation forward in his chamber. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Gov. Cooper indicated that Cooper would veto the bill if it passed.A Chilling EffectThe North Carolina bill appears to have little legal justification as North Carolina is <a href="https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/events/lawyers_professional_liability/ls_lpl_2016_fall_conf_50_state_survey_comparative_fault.authcheckdam.pdf" style="box-sizing: inherit; cursor: pointer; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;">one of four states</a> with a pure contributory negligence fault rule, which means that injured parties lose any civil claims if they are just 1 percent responsible anyway.That makes the bill largely symbolic. According to Susana Birdsong of the North Carolina ACLU, its primary effect would be to discourage people from taking advantage of their First Amendment rights.“It’s saying that somebody who’s driving who hits a protester wouldn’t be civilly liable for that action if the protester is in the street without a permit,” Birdsong told Facing South. “That has the potential to do a lot of damage to people’s inclination to protest.”While Birdsong agrees that the Charlottesville driver would not be able to use a bill like HB 330 as a shield, she says there are other circumstances where the lines may not be as clear and the law could have a chilling effect on speech.Some opponents also see a racial subtext to the bills. Calls for cracking down on protest in North Carolina followed the upsurge of Black Lives Matter activism in Charlotte and other areas, protests that Birdsong notes focused on “really being in the streets.”“Who demonstrates more than people of color?” civil rights veteran and Democratic state Rep.
