Last week, a mistrial was declared in the case of Christopher Schurr, a Grand Rapids police officer who was charged with murder in a politically-charged case that happened near the height of Black Lives Matter mania.
Lloya, 26, was a black man who was shot dead in April 2022 after lunging for Schurr’s taser while violently resisting during what started as a routine traffic stop over Lloya driving with an improper license plate.
In a very familiar scenario, a race mob soon seized upon this case and turned Lloya into a social justice icon. Large protests were held in Grand Rapids and craven prosecutors soon acquiesced to their demands, charging Schurr with second-degree murder despite video existing that demonstrated Schurr’s legitimate use of force.
It took three years for the case to finally be tried, not exactly a speedy trial, but the long delay may have ultimately benefited Schurr’s case. The BLM hysteria has faded. Most have sobered up to realize that George Floyd was a fentanyl-addicted brute. This allowed Schurr to have some semblance of a fair court proceeding.
After 10 hours of jury deliberation, the jurors reported to the judge that they were deadlocked and could not come to a decision. The judge told them to continue deliberating but nothing changed as a result. Prosecutors will have the ability to initiate a new trial for Schurr or simply let the officer return to his life.
Schurr is being hit with a $100 million civil suit by the deceased thug’s family as part of the racial-grievance industry that exists to weaponize and monetize anti-white hate. They are continuing to malign Schurr’s reputation, demanding his scalp to satisfy their warped perception of justice.
“Don’t give up, don’t get tired. We will keep fighting until we get justice. Thank you, thank you so much for standing up with us for all of these three years,” the victim’s father, Peter Lyoya said.
“I want him to know he’s still carrying the blood of Patrick on him and he’s responsible for the blood of Patrick,” Peter Lloya said in an ominous threat to Schurr.
A SMALL VICTORY FOR CONSERVATIVES
Before the case began, a hardcore group of conservatives appeared outside of the courthouse to make it clear that Schurr had support. Dozens of supporters showed up to a press conference and led “Justice for Schurr” chants as legislators and activists rally on behalf of Schurr as he begins a trial that will assuredly draw the national spotlight.
“While someone defending themselves has a moral responsibility to do what they possibly can before eliminating the threat, an ordered society must also defend those who, for the sake of their own life [or] for the sake of the lives of others, must act in a split second to use necessary force to stop their attackers,” said Michigan State Rep. Jim DeSana at the “Stand with Schurr” press conference in Grand Rapids.
“We stand here today to defend life, not to take it. We stand here today with Officer Christopher Schurr,” DeSana added.
“The fact that [Schurr] has been dragged through this trial is in of itself a terrible crime because the evidence shows on video that after a confrontation that preceded for at least four minutes, Patrick Lloya disobeyed every single command the officer gave him,” Adam de Angeli of the Rescue Michigan Coalition said.
A POSSIBLE REMEDY
Rep. DeSana is introducing House Bill 4404 (HB4404), legislation that greatly expands the rights of individuals lawfully using self-defense in the state of Michigan. HB4404 expands exemption from civil liability to include use of deadly force against an individual “who threatens to use deadly force or force other than deadly force in self-defense or defense of another individual.”
HB4404 also grants immunity when a grand jury fails to indict an individual using deadly force in those circumstances, a prosecuting attorney declines to issue a complaint against that individual, a magistrate refuses to issue a summons against that individual, the court discharges that individual, or in cases where a previous acquittal against the individual has occurred. It also gives that individual the ability to sue for lost income or other expenses that arise from frivolous charges.
The passage of state laws like HB4404 are important throughout the country to protect the rule of law and right to self-defense against an anti-civilizational movement that wants to deify criminals, gangbangers, thugs, hoodlums and degenerates on the basis of their skin color.
