A widely-regarded as honest, and earnest, Black Lives Matter activist recently won some $100,000 — in his defense of a personal injury case — against a police officer who brought that personal injury suit in New York, claiming falsely (it seems) that the activist was responsible for the policeman’s injuries… at a BLM rally (i.e., the officer’s on the job alleged injury). The activist won a defense verdict, and about $100,000 in costs and legal fees from the officer, due to the ALLEGEDLY baseless policeman’s filing. [Note that  all caps adjective, John.]

Then, the Faux News bobble-head named Jeanine Pirro went on air and defamed the BLM activist. She omitted the adjective “allegedly” from her plainly disparaging (and purportedly factual — not opinion) remarks about the activist, even after he had secured a win in court, against the cop’s ALLEGEDLY baseless claim.

See the International Business Times story on all of that, here, this morning.

Now… Confidential to John Hinderaker: You probably ought to issue a correction, and an apology for this post of yours, from September 29, 2017, stating flatly — without any factual basis therefor — that Russian hackers worked “on behalf of” BLM, thus:

“…the largest volume of Russian “meddling” was on behalf of Black Lives Matter [sic]….”

“On behalf of” at law, according to Black’s implies an agency relationship — i.e., that the BLM movement was the principal and the Russian hackers were the agents of that principal. There has been not a shred of proof of that notion, anywhere in any court case, or in newspaper of good reputation, for that matter.

In addition, John personally offers not a scintilla of proof for that notion (except to claim that an old photo allegedly used by the Russians glorifies the 1960s Black Panther movement — i.e., not BLM). But John conflates all of them — as is his usual way, on racial matters. Given recent developments in the Mueller probe, John’s is likely  defamatory per se, as to the reputations of the leaders of BLM. You see, these are now felonies we are talking about, John (ask former Gen. Flynn). See the statement of offense, and the related plea agreement.

I think I’ll give that activist a call… smile.
