Former Arizona tough guy Sheriff Joe Arpaio going to jail

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:

They, too, are criminals, but that's comparing apples to oranges.
(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.

Indeed.
 
#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.


"Better days are coming." ~ But not for today's out of touch,running out of time,GOP.

Of course we will wait and see.

Let me ask you something. How do you feel about the TSA at airports doing terrorist screenings of infants just because they happen to be the 7th person in line? Or 98 year old grandmas?

The US government spent many millions to train local law enforcement to assist in immigration enforcement. ICE Agents conduct site inspections regularly where it is known or expected that illegal immigrants will work. Is that all illegal? Should ICE have to raid child care centers and senior citizen living communities along with known work environments just to make sure they aren't 'just' targeting illegal immigrants? Cops look to pull over drivers on the road between 1-5 AM. The profile they use says that there is a high likelihood of drunk or impaired drivers on the road between those hours. Should they be barred from doing so?

Re: Former AZ tough-guy sherriff Joe Arpaio going to jail!

Some of you seem to think lying Hillary won the election.

LOL!

He'll never spend a day in jail.

He's been a warrior on the front lines of the war against the infestation of illegal aliens.

Trump will call him to the White House and pin a medal on him.

It's interesting to see conservatives so openly cheering violations of the law and Constitution. Just remember, though, you may be on the receiving end of that attitude very soon if you keep this up. Once the law is gone, you're on your own buddy. Don't be too confident that your little piddly shotgun is going to be enough to protect you once that happens.
 
The courts are a joke. I'm glad that Obama left 14% of the federal judiciary vacant, letting Trump start cleaning up the disgusting swamp that is our secular leftist judiciary.

And this judge was appointed by Bill Clinton

You don't get it.....

Snow is the judge that gave the order, and Arpaio disobeyed it. Arpaio pleaded guilty in the civil trial. Snow was the judge in that trial. Snow is the one that started the whole thing, he is a Bush appointee. Then they turned it over to another judge. Joe clearly was done in by his own press releases and memos. The criminal trial strategy was "Arpaio is too stupid to have done this on purpose" It didn't fly.

Earlier this year Judge Murray Snow held Arpaio in civil contempt for disobeying court orders regarding a lawsuit over racially profiling Latinos during traffic stops.

And, he has cost us millions in lost cases for abuse and for going after other politicians.

Feuds with judges and County Supervisors

Between 2008 and 2010, Arpaio and former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas together undertook a number of government-corruption investigations targeting political opponents, including judges, county supervisors and administrators, resulting in filing of criminal charges against several individuals, lawsuits against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and a federal civil-racketeering suit against the supervisors, four judges, and attorneys who worked with the county.[96]

In early 2010, Arpaio and Thomas sought to have a grand jury indict a number of Maricopa County Judges, Maricopa County Supervisors, and employees of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. The grand jury, in an unusual rebuke, ordered the investigation ended. This action has been described as meaning that "... the case is so bad, there's no further evidence that could be brought [to substantiate it]". Legal experts agree this is a rare move.[97]

Arpaio and Thomas lost every case, either by ruling of the courts, or by dropping the case.[98]

Arpaio's and Thomas' actions in these matters led to Thomas' disbarment by a disciplinary panel of the Arizona Supreme Court, which found that Thomas "outrageously exploited power, flagrantly fostered fear, and disgracefully misused the law" while serving as Maricopa County Attorney. The panel found "clear and convincing evidence" that Thomas brought unfounded and malicious criminal and civil charges against political opponents, including four state judges and the state attorney general.[99] "Were this a criminal case," the panel concluded, "we are confident that the evidence would establish this conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt."[100][101]

At least 11 individuals filed lawsuits or legal claims as a result of being targeted by Arpaio and Thomas. The county settled all 11 cases, at significant cost:[96][102]

Gary Donahoe, retired Superior Court judge: $1,275,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $767,127.
Kenneth Fields, retired Superior Court judge: $100,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $81,040.
Barbara Mundell, retired Superior Court judge: $500,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $134,273.
Anna Baca, retired Superior Court judge: $100,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $112,588.
Stephen Wetzel, former county technology director: $75,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $107,647.
Sandi Wilson, deputy county manager and county budget director: $122,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $458,318.
Don Stapley, former county supervisor: $3.5 million settlement. County legal expenses: $1,682,020.
Mary Rose Wilcox, county supervisor: $975,000 settlement, plus 9,938 in court-ordered legal costs. County legal expenses to date: over $375,442.
Susan Schuerman, Stapley’s executive assistant: $500,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $200,201.
Conley Wolfswinkel, Stapley’s business associate: $1,400,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $1,586,152.
Andy Kunasek, county supervisor: $123,110 settlement. County legal expenses: $1,150.

And the SOB spent my taxpayer money as a county sheriff investigating Obama's birth cert.

He is an awful, corrupt convicted criminal.

Which I think is the real reason the democrat judge is sending him to jail

He questioned obama's legality
 
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

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/04/us/arpaio-tent-city-maricopa-sheriff-penzone.html

"Only convicted criminals are currently serving time in the tents, for crimes that do not warrant sentences of more than a year: drug possession, domestic violence, car theft. The pink underwear and socks they wear were a point of pride for Mr. Arpaio, who said that if the underwear was pink, no man would want to steal it. (The jail holds women, too.)"

Seems there is conflicting reporting.
 
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.

Maybe they'll get him a nice pink tutu and an open tent so he'll have a nice breeze.

He broke the law! He admitted it!

He broke the law set down from a conservative Bush appointed judge.

He bragged that he wasn't going to follow the orders of Judge Snow, he knowingly broke the law.

Conservatives are all for the rule of law...until they aren't.
 
Joe Arpaio's illegal actions have cost Maricopa county $45 million. He should be under the jail.

And who knows how many innocent American lives were saved by remover bad hombre's from the street?

I bet the 65 year old woman in oregon who was raped by an illegal alien wishes arpaio had picked him up first before he got to her
