District Attorney Fani Willis has opened up a website to sell merch, particularly on "Fani Friday." You too can have your very own Fani T. Willis fan club t-shirt.
It was 2011, and 200 people were gathering in South Atlanta for a repast, (a big post-funeral meal) setting up tablecloths and getting coolers.
The neighborhood was just saying a prayer when Javenski Hilton learned that a drug dealer had broken into his car. /1
Hilton knew the drug dealer. It was his girlfriend, Tomika Webb. She had loaned him some money so he could buy crack and share the profits with her, but he hadn't paid him back. /2
Hilton got to his car and Webb was there, rummaging through it for drugs or money. When she saw Hilton, she started screaming and threatening him.
A neighbor, Patrick Walker, could tell this was going to end badly, and so he immediately called police. /3
If you chase someone with your car, that is aggravated assault. And you cannot be justified doing something once you commit a felony. You can't shoot an armed homeowner, for instance, if he tries to stop you from burglarizing his house.
Now let's say it turns out that the armed homeowner is a murderer.
That shit isn't relevant, because no set of facts about his past make it ok to break into his house and shoot him.
The first thing to note about Trump's WSJ lawsuit is that he filed it federally in Florida.
In almost every jurisdiction, filing a lawsuit federally helps you avoid the anti-SLAPP statute.
But not in Florida.
So, for instance, when Dan Bongino filed a lawsuit against the Daily Beast for saying he was fired, the Daily Beast filed an anti-SLAPP motion, even though it was in federal court.
And prevailed, because the suit was without merit.
