FINANCIAL SUMMARY
A Muslim-Hate Crime in Mesa 3 Days After 9/11 In New Book by Preet Bharara
". . . The story begins – like so many terrible (but ultimately uplifting) stories – with the morning of September 11, 2001.
On that day, of course, terror rained down on New York City and on Virginia and also on Pennsylvania. And the world has never been the same.
In the aftermath of that awful day, some misguided individuals thought that they would exact vengeance for those acts. A sad spree of hate crimes followed. Three days after 9/11, a man named Frank Roque declared at a bar that he wanted to kill “ragheads”. So he shot and killed Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh American father of three, as he was planting flowers outside the gas station he owned in Mesa, Arizona. . ."
The law is an amazing tool, but it has limits.
Good people, on the other hand, don’t have limits.
The law is not in the business of forgiveness or redemption.
The law cannot compel us to love each other or respect each other.
It cannot cancel hate or conquer evil; teach grace or extinguish passions.
The law cannot achieve these things, not by itself.
It takes people – brave and strong and extraordinary people.

_________________________________________________________________________________Washington Monthly has its own opinion of the new book:
SPOILER ALERT:
"Real, meaningful reform will require law enforcement officials from the beat cop to the nationally renowned prosecutor to honestly confront the system’s defects and work to make things better. Until then, whatever the criminal justice system is doing, far too rarely can we say that it is doing justice."
_________________________________________________________________________
A 4-MINUTE REVIEW ON YOUTUBE:
Doing Justice A Prosecutor's Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, and the Rule of Law
Preet Bharara’s Willful Blindness
We’ll never fix the criminal justice system until “liberal” prosecutors recognize how badly it’s broken.
The broad agreement that our criminal justice system is profoundly broken, most recently embodied in a reform bill passed by Congress in December, is a rare contemporary example of genuine bipartisanship. We incarcerate and punish far too many people; we rely on counterproductively punitive sanctions that are often disliked by the very victims in whose name they are imposed; and the system is rife with racial bias at every stage. Thanks to years of work by advocates, academics, and journalists, a broad coalition is now pushing to overhaul how we punish in the U.S.You would not know any of this, however, from reading Preet Bharara’s new book, Doing Justice. Bharara was appointed by President Obama in 2009 as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, perhaps the most prestigious posting a federal prosecutor can get. Although criticized by some for, among other things, not prosecuting the financial fraud underlying the 2008 financial crisis, Bharara aggressively targeted the deep rot of corruption in Albany, convicting both the Democratic head of the assembly and the Republican head of the senate. He was broadly respected by the time President Trump fired him in March 2017. In fact, his abrupt termination, and speculation as to its causes, made him something of a hero to the #Resistance.
In Doing Justice, Bharara explores the criminal justice system by looking at how cases work their way through it, from investigation to trial to punishment. Nearly all the examples and anecdotes come from cases that Bharara’s office handled, which often gives the book the feel of a memoir. But it is clearly intended to be a broad discussion of criminal justice—not just of the rarified world of the federal courts, but of the far messier state systems that handle well over 90 percent of all cases.

Police violence is a direct product of how officers are trained to use force and the incredibly permissive legal doctrines that insulate them from liability.
Jeff Flake Makes A Reveal in Great Britain's "The Guardian" Over Death Threats From Trump Supporters
US politics
Jeff Flake reveals he has received threats from Trump supporters
"Jeff Flake, the former Republican senator for Arizona and a vocal critic of the Trump administration, has revealed he received a number threats from supporters of the president before he left office this year.In an interview with the Guardian, Flake described several examples of threatening messages and behavior made against him and his family that he said were currently being investigated by law enforcement in Arizona and Washington DC.
Link > https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/apr/03
“I would have liked to have done one more term in the Senate, that’s probably all,” Flake said. “But its been at a heavy cost to my family. The sacrifices they’ve been [made to make], what they had to endure …”
Last week, a man in Chicago pleaded guilty to a federal retaliation charge after leaving a threatening voicemail for unidentified US senator after the hearings for Trump’s supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Flake confirmed to the Guardian the message had been left for him after he delayed Kavanaugh’s hearing by pressing for a short FBI investigation into allegations the judge had sexually assaulted a number of women as a teenager.
The defendant, 58-year-old James Dean Blevins Jr, said on the voicemail: “I am tired of him interrupting our president, and I am coming down there to take him and his family out,” according to prosecutors.
But, said Flake: “That’s only one of several threats.”
Flake revealed that an unidentified man carrying a rifle scope had recently arrived at three locations in Arizona associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, looking for the former senator, a devout Mormon.
According to Flake: “It was a man living out of his car. He told someone he had just attended a Trump rally.” He added: “He showed up at another event two weeks ago.”
The Mesa police department in Arizona confirmed they had been assisting Flake and his family during an investigation that was being handled by federal authorities.
The US Capitol police declined to answer questions.
Flake also said his family had received “several” other threats that “haven’t been tracked down yet”.

From The Guardian this message:
Since you’re here…we have a small favour to ask.
More people are reading and supporting our independent, investigative reporting than ever before. And unlike many news organisations, we have chosen an approach that allows us to keep our journalism accessible to all, regardless of where they live or what they can afford.
The Guardian is editorially independent, meaning we set our own agenda. Our journalism is free from commercial bias and not influenced by billionaire owners, politicians or shareholders. No one edits our editor. No one steers our opinion. This is important as it enables us to give a voice to those less heard, challenge the powerful and hold them to account. It’s what makes us different to so many others in the media, at a time when factual, honest reporting is critical.
Every contribution we receive from readers like you, big or small, goes directly into funding our journalism. This support enables us to keep working as we do – but we must maintain and build on it for every year to come. Support The Guardian from as little as $1 – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
Details: Bell AH-1Z Viper Attack Helicopter Crash in Yuma
The Marines were conducting a routine training mission in the two-seater attack helicopter as part of the Weapons and Tactics Instructor course.The AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter. (Bell Flight)
AH-1Z Viper Was Participating in USMC Weapons and Tactics Instructor’s Course.
"Two U.S. Marines, Maj. Matthew M. Wiegand, 34, of Ambler, Pennsylvania, and Capt. Travis W. Brannon, 30, of Nashville, Tennessee, have been identified as the crew who died in an AH-1Z Viper two-seat attack helicopter crash on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at approximately 2045 Hrs. local time in the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma training grounds.Link to the source > https://theaviationist.com/2019/04/02
Journalist Shawn Snow quoted USMC Col. Kelvin W. Gallman, commanding officer of Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One, from an official command release published in the Marine Corps Times that said, ““We join the families of Maj. Wiegand and Capt. Brannon in mourning the loss of a loved one. Our most valued assets are the individual Marines and our primary focus is supporting the families during this difficult time.”
According to news reports, the aircraft and its crew were participating in the U.S. Marine Weapons and Tactics Instructor’s Course 2-19 managed by Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron-One (MAWTS-1) at the time of the crash. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
According to official U.S. Marine media, “The Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course (WTI) is a seven-week period of instruction, hosted by Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One at Yuma, Arizona, that incorporates Marine Corps planning and implementation of advanced air and ground tactics through a series of escalating evolutions in order to produce certified Weapons and Tactics Instructors. Weapons and Tactics Instructors serve as squadron training officers who use their skills to act as aircraft and weapons subject matter experts to provide their units with proper training and evaluation to ensure exceptional combat readiness.”
The aircraft that crashed was a Bell AH-1Z Viper attack helicopter.
The AH-1Z Viper is an advanced, significantly updated version of the original AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter that first flew in 1965 and saw extensive service with the U.S. Army during the Vietnam conflict. The updated AH-1Z Viper first flew in December, 2000 and features an all-new, bearing-less four-bladed rotor system as well as completely updated cockpits, avionics and weapons carriage, targeting and delivery systems.
The AH-1Z Viper has a relatively good safety record considering its mission of low-level, often night time close air support of Marines on the ground.
The last significant incident with AH-1Z Viper helicopters was a 2012 accident when 7 Marines died in a midair collision between and older version AH-1W Super Cobra (predecessor to the AH-1Z Viper) and a UH-1Y Venom utility helicopter in the Chocolate Mountains region of California."
