Where's the Lawsuit?

 Is Carlos clowning again? Troopers arrested Robert Andre Morton on July 12, 2019 for speeding at 102 mph, resisting arrest, failure to provide drivers license on demand, disorderly conduct, and violation of the child restraint law.  A video of the arrest went viral.   Attorney Carlos Moore swooped in, picked up Morton as a client, and started holding press conferences on suing the Mississippi Highway Patrol.  However, the Grenada attorney has yet to file a lawsuit. 

The video shows Horton refusing to give his driver's license to a trooper.  Morton instead kept asking "What did I do?" as he resisted the trooper.  The standoff lasted for several minutes until another officer arrived.  The two troopers took him down to the ground and subdued him before placing him under arrest.  The incident took place on Highway 45 in Clay County.  

Horton's friends circulated a shorter video on Facebook that conveniently omitted the trooper telling Horton he was driving at 101 mph.  A Horton friend, Porsha Shields, provided color commentary while she videotaped the arrest.  Police arrested her as well.  The longer video is posted below. 


 

Carlos Moore and Robert Horton started telling anyone and everyone they were going to sue the Mississippi Highway Patrol. The Clarion-Ledger reported on August 23, 2019: 

Morton is represented by attorney Carlos Moore, who said his client was afraid and trying to understand why he was being detained.

Moore said he intends to file a lawsuit on behalf of Morton.

“It’s not unlawful to ask questions,” Moore said. “This is America.”

The Clown and his client announced they were going to sue on the Roland Martin Show on August 1, 2019. 

 

 Mr. Moore said (6:50) he and his client were going to "pursue federal charges" against the troopers.  He also said they were going to sue the troopers for violating Horton's civil rights.  Martin conveniently left out that Horton was speeding at 102 mph.   

Well, it is nearly two years later and guess what? There is no lawsuit.  The Clay County Circuit Court docket shows no lawsuits.  There are none in the federal court system.  The Mississippi Department of Public Safety said in an email: 

We received a notice of claim pursuant to the MTCA back in 2019, but I don’t see an actual complaint or any evidence of ongoing litigation in our files. I also checked Clay County’s docket on MEC, and I don’t see a complaint there.

This is not the first time Carlos the Clown has talked big to the media only to quietly slink away at a later date. He accused a Rankin County substitute teacher of making racist statements to a student.  He sued the school and temp agency and quietly dropped the lawsuit when the cameras weren't around.  He fabricated a phony Tupelo police memo that said "It was open season on black people" at another press conference.  He admitted in court the memo was phony.  Moore held a similar press conference when he sued Belhaven only to get sanctioned when the Judge discovered he and his client destroyed exculpatory evidence.   A powerful press conference was held last year in Moss Point as Mr. Moore thundered a wrongful death lawsuit against the city.  He announced the next day he was getting off the case.  

See a pattern? 

Once again, Mr. Moore gets his face in the media and the media is simply too lazy to question him or follow up.  Meanwhile, the victims carry on with their names forever smeared while Carlos clowns again.

Moore would be a great Mayor for Jackson. All talk, no action. Just like the current King Mayor Lumumba.

Fact: If the Clown were white he wouldn't be getting away with this crap.

Thank you for this incident update KF. This was good work by the Troopers. Given a bad situation by the offender, first trooper took his time with the driver’s constant goading & hand movement, along with secondary person on scene. Second trooper arrived and “assisted providing immediate justice” on behalf of law abiding citizens.

Carlos the Clown knows he’s wrong in these matters but chooses to continue misleading impressionable and ignorant others.

Carlos got what he was looking for, publicity as a "civil rights activist" attorney. Roland Martin's show and social media have no need for the full factual story as long as they can promote their narrative of Black men being brutalized by Whites. They couldn't care less if the whole thing is bogus as long as they have their show. Neither could Carlos as long as he gets his publicity. He got it. Clown on!

Exactly! Hammer, meet nail!

Folks like Martin and Moore aren't out to help people they believe have been wronged. It's exactly the opposite. They couldn't care less about the "victims," they're only seeking the perception of helping.....just enough to get the attention of the growing "victim class" in America today. Unfortunately, actions like these only serve to increase the size of the victim class and help enlarge the wallet of folks like Martin and Moore.

In the category of 'High Drama', may I have the envelope please?

That’s old news, any follow up on the young man that stood his ground in Rankin County? How about the young lady that ran off with BLM after her father took back her car? If I recall she was arrested then released.

Guess who represented both of those parties?

Why hasn't the Bar done anything about his FB posts of the young man that committed suicide?

If he'd told them he was going 101 mph because she was bitching in his ear the whole time, they'd probably have let him go.

He got what was coming to him a 4:17 in the video. I was disappointed I didn't get to see them slap the cuffs on that loud mouth female.

Yes, except that the Speeder probably would not have been able to finish that explanation, since his girlfriend would still have been interrupting his every word, with her incessant ear-splitting jabber.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
