Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 1/12/26, 8:12 am

Good morning to the legislature. A short session starts today. We have both a current budget shortfall and a structural one with our upside down tax policy. I am glad Governor Ferguson has proposed an income tax on people earning over a million dollars. That will be good for 2030 Washington state. But right now, Representative Scott is proposing a payroll tax to compensate for the immediate problems.

But it’s not just budget stuff. Also:

  • There is a bill to ban police officers from hiding their face.
  • There are the garbage initiatives that aren’t going to pass but might suck some of the oxygen from discussions, and will likely go to the voters.
  • Making AI chatbots identify themselves as such.

It’s a good time to write your legislators. And let’s hear any bills that you’re interested in in the comments.

    There is a bill to ban police officers from hiding their face.

    Coming back yesterday afternoon I passed through US Customs and the only ID check was my photograph. I was asked only if I brought in foreign-purchased alcohol or cigarettes.

    Facial recognition took less than 5 seconds, I never opened my passport, and I was on my way.

    This is the type of facial recognition technology that liberals think is unfair when used on the streets because it might too successfully identify looters, rioters, and other violent criminals.

    What’s wrong with a five second stop at the CBP counter?

    In the latest Gallup data report, since the Fat Hitler innauguration more voters than ever are identifying as “independunce”.

    But along with that, a complete reversal of the majority of “independunce” who now “lean” Democrat versus Republicans, with Republican lean falling three points and Democratic lean gaining three points. A six point swing where Democrats in 2024 trailed by one point they now lead by five. And overall lean (combining party id with party lean) has produced an inversion of 2024 with Republicans falling from a 4 point lead over Democrats at the end of 2024 to an eight point deficit to Democrats by the end of 2025.

    reasonable officer in the same situation
    , based on the totality of the circumstances known to or perceived
    by the officer at the time

    25,
    I posted an analysis with respect to this statute the same day as the shooting.

    The very same statute that grants Murderer Ross a presumptive self defense claim for the first shot, criminalizes shots 2 and 3.
    Nobody disputes that the vehicle was moving away from Ross as he fired those shots. He can attempt to assert the same defense for the subsequent shots. But it becomes a matter for a jury to decide in light of the evidence and the statute, which statute specifically criminalizes using deadly force to stop a vehicle fleeing operated by a presumed felon.

    Subd. 2.Use of deadly force. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 609.06 or 609.065, the use of deadly force by a peace officer in the line of duty is justified only if an objectively reasonable officer would believe, based on the totality of the circumstances known to the officer at the time and without the benefit of hindsight, that such force is necessary:
    (2) to effect the arrest or capture, or prevent the escape, of a person whom the peace officer knows or has reasonable grounds to believe has committed or attempted to commit a felony and the officer reasonably believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to another person under the threat criteria in clause (1), items (i) to (iii), unless immediately apprehended.

    Ross’s own cellphone video shows clearly that from the officer’s perspective and viewpoint Ms. Good was not driving aggressively, and only proceeded forward after she had turned her wheels completely away from him. And multiple other video records show that the vehicle was clear of Ross and moving away from his as he fired the second two shots.

    The (subd 1 of) the statute declares the legislative intent that if from the perspective of a reasonable officer in the same situation (subd 2 of) unless the officer reasonably believes that the person will cause death or great bodily harm to another person under the threat criteria in clause (1), items (i) to (iii), unless immediately apprehended, then those second and third shots are not justified under the statute defining justified uses of deadly force. Ross may be charged under the statute for the subsequent shots.

    That assumes that during a 0.7 second interval between the first and third trigger pulls and while sustaining an injury bouncing off the front left bumper and hood of an accelerating vehicle the LEO somehow was able to make three individual, wholly unrelated assessments of his situation and the risk he faced.

    … “totality of the circumstances … perceived by the officer at the time…” adequately addresses that.

    Juries decide factual conclusions in relation to the law, not lying, self-humiliating failures at life who are so insecure they have to fabricate “European” vacations.

    The statute The Fucktard himself was so giddily inattentive and/or plainly illiterate to choose to cite specifically denies the presumption he now hopes to rely upon.

    I’m very comfortable with a jury of twelve Minneapolis voters, currently facing a state of unhinged, violent siege by angry DHS incels, carefully weighing all the available evidence about Murderer Ross and his actions that day and then deliberating the “… totality of the circumstances … perceived by the officer at the time…”

    And I’m equally confident that the reason why The Fucktard, the DHS, the DOJ, and the entire MAGA Republican party are so determined to prevent that is because they all know the same as everyone else that Jonathan Ross in a murderer.

    Just like they know that Fat Hitler is a convicted felon who sexually assaulted women for decades and conspired with a notorious global child sex trafficker, that Jan 6th was a violent insurrection in which his supporters beat police officers to death and sought to assassinate his Vice President, and that nobody in the entire history of anything ever sat up overnight while vacationing in Europe just to dig up crude political jokes on a Nazi pedophile social media community to repost them on a tiny, moribund political blog based 5,000 miles away to an audience of no more than four.

    Victor Vivanco-Reyes, according to news reports, is an illegal immigrant with a felony record and a history of running from immigration agents trying to arrest him. The feds even used a helicopter to chase him. In one of these encounters, when agents tracked him to a landscaping job, he tried to flee in a truck, but crashed into an ICE vehicle instead, injuring two agents.

    For that, he was charged with four new felonies. If anyone should be convicted of assaulting federal agents, it sounds like, he should be. But yesterday, a Seattle jury acquitted him on all counts.

    Here are the illegal’s priors:

    According to the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office, the suspects have extensive criminal history. Vivanco-Reyes has convictions for drive-by shooting, first-degree assault and possession of a stolen firearm.

    Oh, and the reason for the article?

    Four inmates of Chehalis’ Green Hill School are facing felony charges for a scuffle occurring in May between rival gang members.

    Christian A. Quijas, 17, Victor M. Vivanco-Reyes, 19, Aaron A. Toleafoa, 20, and Seth L. Friendly, 19, have all been charged with one count of prison riot, a class B felony.

    Let’s recap:

    • gang member
    • drive-by shooter
    • prison rioter
    • assault
    • stolen firearm possession

    Plus the charges for which he was acquitted, meaning he must not have committed them, amirite?

    Here’s how KING-5 described him:

    For families like Victor, the undocumented father, and his partner Jessica, the consequences are devastating. Victor was convicted of a gross misdemeanor last year and served 10 days in jail but had been working to turn his life around. Now Jessica has to explain to their 3-year-old why his father isn’t home and prepare to give birth to their second son alone.

    “The despair, the panic, the separation of families, the violence, the chaos. I feel like it’s all going to affect the future of this next coming generation,” Jessica said.

    When asked if the revelations made her trust Washington state agencies, she replied, “Not at all.”

    I’d have to agree that it’s hard to trust Washington state agencies if they work to prevent ICE from locating and capturing illegal POS like Victor Vivanco-Reyes.

    I can only hope that the next time this POS gang-banger decides to go on a drive-by rampage, it’s on a block in which a jury member resides and in which that member’s child is playing in the front yard when the bullets start flying.

    Everything exploded, and the blood began to spill.

    Pretty much the entire DOJ Civil Rights Division just resigned.

    For more: see my closing para at 44.

    For even more than that, including a perspective from the other side, see former federal prosecutor Bill Shipley:

    Shipwreckedcrew
    @shipwreckedcrew

    Let me tell you the real reason why the four prosecutors in Civil Rights Criminal Section resigned.

    It has to do with the death of Breonna Taylor.

    Louisville PD Officer Brett Hankison was retried after a jury in his first federal trial ended 11-1 for acquittal. These four individuals were part of the leadership team that agitated to retry him.

    Hankison had already been acquitted in state court trial.

    Hankison did not fire the round that killed Taylor. No one was struck by any round Hankison fired.

    Hankison was convicted in a second trial in Nov. 2024, with the verdict coming just prior to the election.

    After the Trump Admin. took over DOJ and the Civil Rights Division, it asked to have the sentencing postponed so new leadership could examine the history of the case and the decision-making behind retrying a case that had ended 11-1 for acquittal after a 12-0 acquittal in state court.

    The DOJ filed a Sentencing Memorandum that said it could find NO CASE EVER that had been prosecuted on the legal theory relied upon by the DOJ prosecutors and supervisors who were behind the Hankison case.

    It as a “cause” to “get” one police officer.

    The Civil Rights prosecutors who had handled the case were removed by AAG Dhillon, and both have since left the office.

    In the Sentencing Memoranda, DOJ recommended a sentence of “Time Served” — 1 day — given the conduct of the Biden DOJ.

    The judge was unhappy — she had expressed a clear dislike of Hankison and was cowed by the protesters in and out of the courtroom.

    She sentenced him to 33 months AND denied him bail pending appeal even though DOJ did not oppose and agreed there were significant legal issues with the conviction.

    The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals AGREED with Hankison and DOJ, and ordered him released pending appeal just before Christmas.

    DOJ is likely to concede error by the Biden Civil Rights Prosecutors — who were supported by the now resigned leadership.

    Now you know the rest of the story.

    I have an article I’m working on re Hankison’s case that mostly focuses on the outrageous conduct by the Judge — a Trump appointee, but more important than that, a McConnell acolyte.

    Obama weaponized a good part of the federal government only to hand it to Donald Trump.

    Joe Biden did not learn the lesson he should have learned.

    Elijah, why try him a third time after losing 12-0 and 11-1?

    Claims circulating on social media that a person was hit by a THP trooper in Memphis are false. Video shows the individual holding the vehicle, lying down, then standing up and leaving on his own. Peaceful protest is protected. Entering active roadways is not and risks lives.

    Anyone believe that?

    This office makes decisions based on the merits, nothing more and nothing less.”

    Sure, Jan Jeanine.

    Pirro added, “We agree with the chairman of the Federal Reserve that no one is above the law, and that is why we expect his full cooperation.”

    Cooperation? You expect someone you’ve put under criminal investigation to say anything but, “I invoke my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, and my right to an attorney?”
