"it's hard to be the bigger person," says failed 'organizer' and local nazi jason kessler to pathetic worm & nazi derrick davis.
with the assault dropped, she faced a disorderly conduct, to which she plead not guilty.
jeff fogel: "you say you were worried. were you worried your friends might react violently?"
kessler: "I was worried i might have to defend myself."
kessler: "you have to take this kind of abuse with a grain of salt.
jeff: "you know this because you've administered this kind of abuse."
special prosecutor objects to this spicy take & judge sustains it. damn i love jeff fogel ✊
downer: "i'm not going to allow this as part of this case" to jeff's suggestion that he call ACA antony to testify to the pending perjury issue.
jeff moves to strike -- argues that kessler himself acknowledged there was no real threat of violence in V's conduct. downer overrules.
jeff: "i'm concerned about this notion that she invited him to strike her. he threatened to do it - she simply restated that."
later, SP: "mr. kessler exhibited decorum in this situation"
i have to take my good, good boys to the dog park -- they've been very patient with all this tedious nazi business. we'll pick up with brandon collins' assault charge after.

downer isn't interested in this.
he rules that kessler's ID based on the video is fine.
kessler: "yes."
as it should be, jason.
he pursues a strange line of questioning about kessler's pending civil litigation that the judge shuts down.
"it *looks* like him, yes"
"I can't say 100%"
"the picture is grainy"
graff is doing his best to be both completely honest and perhaps walk back the mistake he made in august.
interesting false start on that statement from judge downer.
her demeanor is as i imagine it'd be in the classroom. surreal.
"i remember thinking it was kind of strange that i could just get up front. there were no cops."
says her actions spurred the police to respond: "i got him out of the way of that train & the police finally did what they were supposed to do."
"i just wanted to get him safe."
phoebe: "they were there, but they weren't helping him."
kessler's own testimony corroborates this.
atty on the video: "as he's moving through the crowd, the officers are not moving toward him"
in the gallery, someone's cell phone goes off... with a 'bad to the bone' ringtone.
