Former Arizona tough guy Sheriff Joe Arpaio going to jail

No, there's no actual dispute about the order being clear. It's just more grandstanding and smoke-blowing by a corrupt old man and his defense, desperate for anything to cling to. Anyone familiar with Arpaio, his history and his MO would undersand that he was going to do exactly what he wanted, court order or not.

He who dares-wins!

Seems those who enter the US illegally are doing the same thing. that is they are doing exactly what they want to do. Illegal entry into the US for the most part is a misdemeanor crime. Much like what Joe A. was found guilty of.

Since you find such distaste with Arpaio, do you feel the same about those who enter the US illegally? They are just doing what they want to do.:mrgreen:

(I have lived in AZ since 89, before that NM for 6 years.). Not like I have not been exposed to Arpaio and some of the bleeding heart politicians who support the illegal aliens.

Joe should be held accountable for his actions that were against the law. So should those who come into the US illegally.
 
Look, before this thread turns into a ****show... alright it already has but I'd like to point out one thing here that I find troubling.

Arpaio is an absolute dick... ok!

He in a position of elected law enforcement went out of his way to appeal to some of the darkest sides of American populism, it's extremely clear what he was trying to do, the court ruling proves it, his birther nonsense proves it.

However, it is also troubling to me, that despite these wrongs, the OP would seemingly take pleasure in the knowledge that an 85 year old man may be raped in prison that he undermines his entire position on Arpaios assault on human rights and the law.

We don't sentence people to rape for their crimes.
He never had a problem locking people up for drugs, prostitution, gambling, and other victimless crimes. He treated those people like they had molested children and fed them spoiled food, made the men wear underwear that look like panties, left them outside to roast in the Arizona heat, and just plain subjected them to unspeakable abuse for petty offenses - that shouldn't be offenses anyways.

**** him.

If you can find enough people to agree with you about "petty offenses" then maybe you can get the laws changed. Till then, sorry, illegal use of drugs, prostitution are illegal in AZ.

Only convicted criminals were placed in Tent city. When it was used, If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. :mrgreen:

And contempt of court is too.

Sorry, Charlie.

We do sentence killers to death though. Should we sentence rapists to rape?
 
Look, Arpaio should have been thrown in the clink 20 years ago...so many inmates beaten to death, died because they couldn't get medications, etc.

If you aren't in Maricopa County, you don't know these stories, unless you set aside the bias you have for this fascist assclown and read up. He is an evil, corrupt pile of garbage.
 
I suspect that the sheriff of a US city will probably not see jail time for enforcing the US laws of the land. Even if it takes a pardon for the current president to throw out bull**** charges from a previous administration that refused to enforce immigration law.

I could be wrong...but I doubt it.

That is total BS. Obama deported more illegals than GW Bush. Racial profiling violates the equal protection laws in our Constitution. I guess that document does not matter to you anymore. In that case we will come for your guns....:lol:

You do know that a large percentage of people in tent city were actually awaiting trial...not convicted criminals. read up.

The Problem With Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Tent City [Analysis] - ABC News
 
uh not so fast. first of all its a misdemeanor offense. secondly, there is dispute whether the judge's order that the sheriff allegedly violated was clear. third he is going to appeal which essentially means a jury will decide rather than a judge who is a Clinton appointee.


Verdict Reached in Joe Arpaio Case; Sheriff Found Guilty

There is no dispute as to whether Arpaio violated the judge's order....Arpaio himself plead guilty in the civil trial..now he lost in the criminal trial. Read up.

You know what is really sad is watching you guys trying to find an unused portion of your ass to speak out of with regard to immigration.

At the same time, the administration largely ended immigration roundups at workplaces and shifted investigators into targeting business owners who illegally hired foreign workers.

"If you are a run-of-the-mill immigrant here illegally, your odds of getting deported are close to zero — it's just highly unlikely to happen," John Sandweg, until recently the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an interview.

Even when immigration officials want to deport someone who already has settled in the country, doing so is "virtually impossible" because of a lengthy backlog in the immigration courts, Sandweg said. Once people who have no prior removals or convictions are placed in deportation proceedings, actually removing them from the country can take six years or more in some jurisdictions, Sandweg said.


High deportation figures are misleading - LA Times

Now which is it? Obama was the great deporter which makes all the handwringing about Trump and deportation look rather stupid? Or Obama's deportation numbers were a fabrication? id ICE under Obama actively seek and deport illegal immigrants? And when an immigrant is deported on a Friday and back to work by the following Monday have you really done anything more than give them a free trip home for the weekend?

#1: He was the sheriff of a U. S. county,not a city.

#2: he was convicted of violating U. S. law-He harassed U.S. citizens who looked Hispanic for no good reason.

If Trump pardons this criminal that won't help him in the November, 2020 election.

Wait and see.

:mrgreen:



That applies to everyone,including Arpaio.
 
This "sheriff" was responsible for upholding the law and the Constitution. But spurred on by the hateful rhetoric of rabid conservative talk show hosts, he ordered patrols to use racial profiling to find supposed illegal immigrant . When clearly ordered by the court to stop, he defiantly continued, even bragging on national media that he was going to continue. Conservatives cheered his open, flagrant defiance of the courts and the law. He was sticking it to the system!

Well, now the hammer has now come down, and come down hard. He is going to jail.

He tried to defend himself in court by saying the court order "was not clear", not that he was trying to openly and willfully disobey the courts and break the law. Yeah, right, buddy. Too bad you were caught on video bragging about defying the courts on national TV. Too little too late now.

He thinks he was "America's toughest sheriff"? Let's see how tough he is next time the soap falls in the shower.

Fortunately, we remain a country of laws. If anything will save us now, it's that. Even if we now have a president and a large portion of pitchfork-and-torches carrying mob in this country, if anything will save us from turning into Venezuela and Somalia, it's the courts.

Joe Arpaio, former Arizona aheriff, found guilty of contempt - CNN.com

The judge is a bill clinton appointee

So the ruling is tainted by partisan politics
 
Trump needs to pardon this great American.
 
If you think that excuse will help Arpaio you're living in a dream world.

Arpaio will appeal but either way the toughest sheriff in America will be ok

God save the rest of America that is still at the mercy of these democrat political appointees on the courts
 
You said 85 years old twice. You named the judge as a woman. Why the deflections away from a criminal ?

Well he is 85 and the Judge was Susan Bolton. Just plain facts.
But you are so very hateful of Arpaio you can not see what I posted is true!
 
Please give us links to the atrocities he has committed!

Look them up, start with Charles Agster, and Scott Norberg. If you lived here, you would know about it. I'm not your personal google.
