When slapdash knife-thrower Susan Kang Schroeder, the fiercely loyal and vengeful spokeshole of OC District Attorney Tony Rackauckas, perused the lengthy and distinguished list of co-signers to UCI Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky‘s 15-page letter to the US Attorney General ripping her boss a new one over his jailhouse-informant malfeasance, one name jumped out at her: Angela Davis!
Ah, perfect, thought Susan. This’ll make our case to the scared white voters of OC, better than any argument I can make in Tony’s defense: That terrifying activist of the 60’s who still strikes fear into the heart of trembling Caucasians, the former Communist Party member and Black Panther associate who was arrested, charged, tried, and [*cough* acquitted] of conspiracy in the 1970 armed take-over of a Marin County courtroom, in which four persons died. THAT’s the kind of person who objects to T-Rack’s methods!
So, S-Kang went ahead and began her whiny press release defending Tony with the list of signers as “…Chemerinsky, activist Angela Davis, the ACLU, [and others…]” Nice list of bogeymen to the right, there.
Except, D’OH! Wrong Angela Davis, Susan!
It’s always anyone’s guess if a perpetual spin-meister like SKS makes mistakes like this because she’s dumb and sloppy, or if she just assumes she’ll get away with it because nobody’s paying close attention. But the co-signer (among dozens of others including Gil Garcetti) of Chemerinsky’s letter is quite obviously a DIFFERENT Angela Davis (middle initial J, not Y) whose un-radical bio is listed right there on the letter:
Angela J. Davis is a Professor of Law at the American University Washington College of Law, where she teaches criminal law, procedure, and defense. She has served on the adjunct faculty at George Washington, Georgetown, and Harvard Law Schools. Professor Davis researches and writes on prosecutorial discretion and racism in the criminal justice system. Her book won the Association of American Publishers 2007 Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division Award for Excellence in the Law and Legal Studies Division. Professor Davis has also served as the Executive Director of the National Rainbow Coalition and the Director of the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, where she previously worked as a staff attorney.
Or maybe they just “all look the same” to Susan?
The bulk of Susan’s defense against Dean Chemerinsky’s damning missive is that Erwin never came to the People vs. Wozniak trial, and couldn’t possibly have read through the transcripts, because he never personally ordered them. And so he must necessarily be relying on “factually incorrect media accounts” by journalists like the Weekly‘s R. Scott Moxley. Yeah, right.
Meanwhile, lovers of justice in Orange County wait – like the watchman waits for the dawn, like Jews wait for the Messiah – for SOME help to come from the Feds or the State, as the OC’s Exalted Administrator of Injustice continues his rampage unchecked. At this rate, the entire County will soon be covered with unconstitutional Gang Injunctions, every minority youth will have a bogus criminal record, and every corrupt politician and killer cop will continue to enjoy carte blanche, in the Third World backwater of inequality we call home.
What a total skang the Vice-Racky is. The Board of Supervisors should be asked to pledge that in the event of the OCDA’s departure, they will not appoint her to replace him, no matter what.
(Spelling error intentional.)
Knife thrower? Did I miss something?
Yeah, I saw that too. Angela Davis – oooh spooky ANGRY & (Probably) ARMED Negress from the darkest dark days of Black Pantherism. Black, black black.
And in the same press release in which Susan Kang attacks Chemerinsky for LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE, she throws in THE WRONG ANGELA DAVIS.
The shamelessness and racism is aromatic. That rodent is SOL, and I’m afraid we are too.
Still, my fun side wonders who but a few of us even remember the radical Angela. Smacks a bit of desperation, no?
The old white fucks who vote for T-Rack remember. And they remember a violent dangerous monster that she actually never was.
Read the push back article in the Register where the DAs office was blaming everyone but themselves for the trial delays. It was an astounding piece of spin.
I’m surprised the OCW hasn’t been all over this. This is destined to be a classic.
Actually Moxley sent me a nice complimentary e-mail about this piece. It looked like he talked it up to his whole e-mail list. But I haven’t seen any result in readership yet. I wish the Weekly would link to us now and then (besides just Coker, who does sometimes.)
you guys should do what ever it takes to mend the fence between the OCW and OJB. be the bigger man dude

Did you write a preceding comment to which it is a reply? Is the reply responsive to that comment? If so, as a rule, it’s probably directed to you. Click the link.
1. Not the top of my priorities, kissing their butts. The world will continue to turn whether we all get along or not.
2. Funny thing is I WAS starting to get along better with Gustavo. But then Ricardo and Greg got irritated with him bringing up that old old Gigante story (and trashing old sick Amin) ONE MORE TIME, and they had a point. And Gustavo can’t take a word of criticism without going all nuclear on all pf us. (And I’m always gonna stick up for my guys like he sticks up for his)
3. Also, whatever…
In Donald Trump’s America,T-Rack will get appointed ‘Secretary of homeland security’….(a sidenote) Attorney General ‘designate’ Jefferson Beauregard Sessions has picked his ‘Deputy A.G.’ Jim Crow!!
