murder and given a life sentence for according to the government by the first shot in the tragedy but the appeals court ruling now means that the justice department will have to decide if they want to reprosecute the slaton case which is now spanned three different presidencies meanwhile slams three compatriots will more than likely have their prison terms drastically reduced in the recent i'm saying i guess when it when it comes to the tragedy that is the iraq war that even after multiple multiple multiple years and multiple multiple ball to pull convictions justice will once again have to wait until we start watching the hawks. as. to. what you know that i got.

this. week. on the watch of the hawks like him so i robot for some time to have a lot more avoids out of the i remember celebrating. when they got convicted. murderers back and for that two years later justice is no longer more than three years old it would be justice is no longer serve but maybe justice is served again because the problem that a lot of things were messed up about this trial and sent it all back to the beginning is essentially which is really unsettling i mean there's only so much you can go through on these cases over and over and over again and our appeals process is important and something very important part of justice but i feel like this is one instance where maybe. prosecutor kind of did certain things because they knew

it would probably get back. because they didn't have the case didn't have the legs to hold up on its own yeah i mean look the prosecute you know they they can. go first degree murder a life sentence no i. don't know what's going to happen with that i mean they have to go back and retry it otherwise this guy basically is a free man. you know they contend that he started the whole massacre uses bird shot first killed this is a rocky in this. part of the circle of traffic and kicked off this whole firefight massacre that was one of the main reasons we you know well we tried to you know at least superficially move away from using private mercenaries and contractors this massacre was part of that while the spill's court ruled that he never should have been prosecuted in the same trial as the four as the three other you know members involved because if you could charge him with first degree murder you know that should be its own separate case and that you go in there he could have been able to

call witnesses that just for his particular case to dispute that he was the one who took that right because apparently even in testimony that the state department i believe god early somebody else admitted to taking the first shot you know so again it's not going to be an easy retrial for the government they're going to call and you know if they want to go after slam they're going to call in dozens of witnesses from iraq fly them back to the united states all the things they did before it's going to be hard to do and i'm sure there's going to be people who are going to want to come back right and be put in that situation after everything and i mean our lives the tragedy over just to have it go back to another or. have them off again i mean one of those one of the. government bungled they bungled a lot in this case sadly which is you had so much time to put it together and you have all this stuff at your disposal and then you're left with this very very bad case that originally so originally he's charged with manslaughter right but the justice department managed. to miss the filing deadline and then after missing the

final the finally deadline they inadvertently let the statute of limitations expire the statute of limitations work rhymes. just trying to put out what am i had so what they did this that forced them to charge him with murder which doesn't have a statute of limitations so they wanted to recite charterers i charge him with this manslaughter conviction but they made it what made it worse because they didn't bother to check on those two dates which is really important i think the one that gets me is the weapons charge it seems just sort of ancillary and thrown on there so that it didn't look like they were just charging them the one thing because they had the whole web and started was three of them received in the hands penalty because they were convicted of using military firearms while committing a felony and evidently we their government caught their military contractors they're going to have american military weapons wherever they are and that law was

really made it had to do with gang members and corgan eyes crime having these kinds of weapons or committing a crime that wasn't meant to be used against you know some of the earlier the clicks after hearing about you know rather than through the curious as we just do you know you mentioned that you know one could be so why is that maybe they kind of . maybe that kind of sort of. maybe kind of sort of purpose attacked a bunch of this extra stuff rather than just go after him for manslaughter or you know like murder or maybe all three or four of them are we because it was kind of what if we took all the stuff we will turn it over like they just do it or maybe they won't find me guilty conviction and then surely. because i think it was kind of a surprise for you numberous a lot of people in a very embarrassed the u.s. military and the government never anything else and and really brought attention to the fact that we're paying. you know. goon squad and giving them incredibly

wrap our full weapons and then just kind of throwing them out in these situations without a really good amount of training these are either former soldiers whose son went into private service i don't think they're taking them along every day and say how's your mental capacity right now and i just don't see that out as the winners are going as a lot always were there the better start of black water is low one of the top advisors pearlie of the troll boy. poses. for them. it's easy to see how the corporate media use fear and negativity to boost the visibility of stories related to politics health care and the military industrial complex and artfully weave a narrative that suits their editorial or advertising agenda in the process but when it comes to gaming the news media has had blinders on for decades the narrative goes video games are by leno brought your brain actual issues and they gave an industry whether social or economic or simply not worth the mainstream media is less of course it's suits their agenda as one mainstream media journalist

told kotaku you took a last fall anything that instills fear in people those stories always rate this weekend a washington post released an investigation into a long defunct gaming company g.e. and its connections to the current administration's chief strategist steve bannon was essentially a chinese based gold farm the mind as they call it credits prizes and currencies within the large online multiplayer games like world of warcraft ever quest and guild wars the idea being that gamers who wanted to level up quickly or save hours of gameplay could pay premium prices to essentially cheat the game to ban and design the business plan that included paying chinese workers twenty five cents an hour to finish quests for rich merican gamers in fact it reiterated multiple times that the washington post writers couldn't prove he knew anything about it in the first place now i'm not defending c. of bama but the narrative that the mainstream media is. simply trying to spin now

is that men's evil plan to win the white house was hatched in the wilds of the young white male dominated online gaming world trouble is by their very own reporting ban had nothing to do with the day to day operations of and probably even actually know exactly how any of it works in the first boy is the fear mongering mainstream press has decided once again to demonize an entire community to score political points use one gender as a pawn to drive wedges and blame leonor yet copy the work of others once again proving they don't care about giving the public the facts contacts and transparency as much as they care about shaking as many nickels out of our pockets as possible build ourselves to be allowed to redistribute is discovered to deny what i g.e. was trying to write some nickels out of people's parents well what was that banner model yeah you know it's really interesting because not just some clue they brought in to basically just kind of lobby for the right the gaming industry to suit up

theirs. but they set up this way the kind of mind that is the. you know gold art of marks things like. the role of warcraft you know by putting in these low wage workers and then they brought bad remember kind of like now that we've got caught doing this we need blood kind of a middleman to smooth this over with the gaming world how can we make this legit run on a very big guy you bring in who's a little bit in the criminal and organized crime you're trying to kind of legitimize a business you can longer some money you see you get out i'm diligent guy who knows how to make businesses look good all in this virtual legal them lobbyist very sickly doing so so gold farming is something that's a big controversial thing for for gamers because when you have one big all multiplayer universe it's you're all sharing one space within that world or that thing so when someone's coming in and eating up all. the gold are eating up all of

these resources you then have scarcity in an economy in a world the same things that happen in real life happen there so when you have these people are getting paid you know twenty five fifty cents five cents an hour to gather money in these online games or level up for people is kind of doesn't quite. it is a messing up the economics of the actual game itself it's kind of like going in and just causing a bunch of trouble in the n.f.l. and just going away. so we can make more money on it and all the fans of the players are like what are you doing you're ruining everything but the thing about this story that kind of got me was that he's he had this all came this idea that he learned it from watching them was that he said it was him populated by intense intense young men smart focused relatively wealthy and highly motivated with issues that matter to them now let's be clear the issues that mattered to those millions of young and they weren't just men it was men and women he is he they bankrupted

this company by using a four chan. to get around that they want to shut down these accounts so what they did is big up to this company and he looked out and said who the mainstream media spins it their their angle on it is oh these world of warcraft people he learned from them. again on top of everything else everything about this bam and story was reported by major outlets all over the gaming world way back to last summer and fall really being reported until just now or and you know probably going to see it really talked about on t.v. you know about because the problem jobber ties in the gaming world sperms are writers you know they want. actual issues like harassment like game or gate you know like you're not going to do anything about nothing about harassment you do nothing about that but then you're going to use us as your little shield to go after bama more unusual than people there was a tornado but it was real gives one of the biggest him. they're like russian

salutes business. at least. and let's also remember average gamer age is thirty five years old right now average gamer age this isn't a kids thing and in the thirty five age group it's fifty fifty male female it is right it is you know there are one point eight billion gamers worldwide it's a seventy five billion dollar industry as of twenty fifteen they expect to be ninety billion by two thousand and twenty so issues that affect that industry are going to affect the rest of the world we have to start paying attention to that and doing learn things by the mistakes made in yes and when you have a company like i g you know at the time you know basically paying people twenty five sons of dollars to mine gold in a virtual world to them you know deplete the resources and so back to the gamers at a much much higher much higher rate i do understand some things are ten thousand dollars that i was going to tell those you know that's something that the industry itself corrected my right they came in and said we need to correct this problem which is a likely that we corrected it in

a way that came up with exchanges that were somewhat regulated but they were regulated by the community so that the people who are small business owners and people who often work from home people with disabilities often end up working in these kind of gaming jobs they have somewhere where they're protected that they can go in and say look i played all this and i have this small amount not some sixty million dollars goldman in fact back. tomorrow as we keep up with the getting more as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered and facebook and twitter see our poll shows at r t v dot com coming up america's lawyer might happen tony owners office next to discuss the law and vengeance his new book stay tuned to watch the whole. debate about gun. in the

air the other the louis or the lui there in the lui. seemed wrong. to shape. the ticket and engage with. the trail. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. heriot a group of charlatans on wall street and around the world that are pushing the

investment public securities that are not going to last and it will cause a rift. but it's in their will by the central banks thank you the interest rates low so the cost is always going down. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us it actually does belong on the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of our two year marriage is doing the same we are apparently better than that and see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight. president of the world bank so he doesn't really. seriously send us an e-mail.

although it may be taboo michaeli fiction what could be more relevant to our world today that a story of corporate greed government corruption and a spirited debate those are some of the challenges facing gina romano a savvy young lawyer facing off against crooked cops and an omnipotent gun lobby and mike papantonio is latest novel law inventions a celebrated trial attorney and host of america's lawyer here on r.t. combines decades of experience in the courtroom politics and media to weave together illegal thriller that's high octane fiction but also an observation of issues american society faces today for more on the reality behind law and vengeance in the world of the real legal warfare we welcome like america's lawyer welcome. so long as your second legal thriller coming out. coming up in september focuses on this young female lawyers crusade against the gun lobby weapon manufacturers and corrupt

gov government officials she's going to be busy i think of a book synopses begs the question these days are you sure this is all from what you're writing about. actually just like the first book law and disorder it's all all of the stories are actual stories are cases that we actually have handled and it's been put into a fiction world and it's gotten so it's gotten to the point to where the typical american doesn't get a chance to ever see back stories i mean if they turn on him as n.b.c. tonight they're going to hear let's go to russia if let's start war with russia if they turn on c.n.n. it's let's start a war with russia and impeach trump in that in that crazy type of dialogue real stories are never reported to the american public real stories that affect their lives for example this book. law in vengeance really focuses on white collar

criminals in the united states that have been operating under a wild west mentality where they lie they cheat they steal their way to financial success while never having to worry about the possibility of maybe really going to prison that thing not only pays it plays itself out in law and disorder it played itself out a lot of vengeance but it's become almost a mainstay of united states politics is white collar prosecutions have fallen to twenty year low while even is white collar crime is being committed is risen at incredible rates so that's kind of one of the themes that we would talk that you know that i talk about in law in vengeance but it's built into a fiction story in the case that we actually handled in this case with the an arms distributor that had made a defective gun site that was actually causing the death of police of policemen and of soldiers and in. iraq and afghanistan while that feel right about you know it's terrible when you have to tell us yeah you have to tell

a fiction story to actually get the news out i guess that's you know that's before . that is a sad case of the day that we have to tell a fictional story to get the actual real news out if peridot and sometimes it's almost better i sure i'm sure a lot of people ask you this and probably ask you know people like congress and the same question is that having been the you know working on trial on being around politics they meet in all of that have you witnessed obviously this is built on a real case have you ever witnessed the level of corruption and conspiracy on a full you know real world level as you have and in law invention. no i really haven't you know i've been doing this for thirty five years all i do is handle cases against multinational corporations national corporations for example the next book i'm working on deals with it deals with the opioid crisis in united states where you have manufacturers of opioids who clearly understood that they were going to create an addiction crisis in certain parts of the country well we

did that just happen out of negligence know it happened out of out of conduct where they they tried to evaluate where can we get the most people addicted to our product they had they had distributors out there doing that and even in that case where you've got you've got populations around this country for right now there are no one is on be land that's not my word that's what that's the vernacular that's developed in places like west virginia ohio kentucky alabama where they've had this this onslaught of opioid addiction well that didn't just happen that was planned it was part of the business plan of these manufacturers part of the distributors and nobody has gone to prison but some cat out selling two ounces of marijuana on a street corner has the right may end up in prison for two years so that's that's the disconnect that the america. the public doesn't hear about unfortunately as i say the only way that i know to get these stories across is to give people

a good story an interesting story one that's fun to read they can lay on a beach they can read a thriller and at the end of that time as you know that thrill of a come away with a message that they didn't know about they didn't know about the disparity between white collar criminals and the average american they have no idea about the point that you just raised about the conduct of corporate america has reached criminal levels and we're not willing to put criminals in prison and because the department of justice won't put crim white collar criminals in prison the problem is just simply perpetuates itself generation engine to generation so i have more more books coming just like the one we're talking about here well before we run out of time because i can talk about that all day with you obviously one of the things that stands out to me about lawns and ten is your female protagonist that they are to america now how is a great famine and i have actually got a really interesting but it is one of those areas that trial law and sort of legal

warfare the really tough rough and tumble stuff there's a shocking lack of women and i wonder if that's you know what you say it's very straightforward what's the deal with that it's absurd the reason well the reason i chose to to make gina romano the protagonist in the story is to tell the story of how here we're in a profession that is supposed to focus on people's rights we're supposed to focus on civil rights on the ability of people to do well no matter their color their gender doesn't make it here we're in the legal profession and right now it's gotten so bad that you've got thirty two percent you know population within the community of lawyers of females in less than eighteen percent of them are really in any kind of leadership position and that has to be talked about and has to be talked about globally has to be talked about within our profession and this book paints a pretty good picture of what a female trial lawyer. has to confront simply to get where she needs to go on my in my teams we always try to include female travelers because frankly there are things

they do a lot better job on than most than most male lawyer so this is a discussion that i don't know what the legal profession has just avoided having this discussion for a very long time in the truth is it's time for the discussion i think about the delay and you know it's interesting seeing how much they've avoided and had a whole. we got about three minutes left i want to ask you you know a lot of your political commentary mike has focused on. the radicalization of let's say the religious right and other hot button issues such as gun rights and what's interesting about politics today is how you know especially like if you look at like the red you know radical religious right and the radical gun ownership is kind of paying off for republican candidates they go there and milk that. milk that goes to group for votes but i got to ask you you know looking at it from a legal perspective what could possibly be the danger of radicalizing your base just in order to stay in power and to keep votes and we've got about two minutes

left. well you know that what you describe is the underpinning for fascism fascism is always driven by fear that's where that's where the gun analysis comes in when people are afraid they're willing to give up on on elements of what they might have grown up with with elements that they've heard all their lives and how we should treat people how we should interact with people they're willing to give up on all that because of fear and that fear card goes an awful long way and it causes us to close our borders it causes us to to be very descriptive very discriminating on who we allow in the country who we don't allow in the country but it is always the base if you take a look and you drill down every time you're going to find this excessive of an effort like that is always built around fear people are fearful you know you'll have these characters that might seem tough but in their hearts. they're very afraid of the things that they're we're talking about in our in our dialogue right now our political dialogue right now about what's happening in this country you

know where maybe race issue maybe gender issues they're fearful of these things because they're so different than what they're used to and it always allows their ways allows bad social change to excel do you see a lot of quickly do you see a lot of fear based decision making in the courtroom today because you do see that bleed over in the log about a minute. we have to be very careful of that as a matter of fact you have a many times a lot a jury will be reticent very fearful to find against a major corporation because they somehow connected if they find against that corporation there's a big verdict somehow it's going to affect their bottom line it's going to affect their family there that's an economic fear that they have we always have to overcome that and trial and we have to get past that reptilian mind that most jurors bring to the courtroom that reptilian mind can be very dangerous in a trial most of it is mike papantonio host of america's lawyer the new book law and

vengeance comes out september twenty sixth thank you so much for coming on and giving us your knowledge have been always a pleasure. the earthquake that hit the italian village of i'm a cliche on august twenty fourth and twenty sixteen was devastating to residents they lost over two hundred of their own major archaeological pieces where it damaged and approximately half the town simply destroyed beyond repair but it's telling an architect stefano refused to see the village none throughout the world for its local food and pasta forgotten so he went about designing a new town square to invigorate the local food economy from farm to table with a refectory style dining room and eight restaurants and it's made entirely of innovative and low cost all timber construction that was able to be done quickly and create local jobs in the two thousand person community in. days after the twenty sixteen quake the mayor had declared that i'm a tree today was no more but it seems that in the face of the tragedy and loss

people came together rebuilt the heart of their city and declared they need a muffin we came we saw we were up. the beautiful store and i hope that we see more of you know from from the great artists and business leaders in our time today that when you see tragedy they step up and say hey everyone else is we can make we can rebuild this town i will go redo it in a way that's you know it's one of. hundreds of years of food and and it wasn't just about having the center of around whatsoever it was just pasta and it was a long process all right that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are not told you all of them up so i tell you all i love you. on top of the wall keep on watching those hawks that have a great day. in

the. single year that you use this release you are talking to. know that are. you ready. for that a lot of money but about. what i'm about the same as are about a lot of us up the money into. making money now let's. just say. that there. is a long. long haul what you need. for the good. people who go from zero zero zero zero.

zero. here you have a group of charlatans on wall street and around the world that are pushing on the investment public securities that are not going to last and it will cause pain but it's enabled by the central banks thank you. so the cost of

fraud is always going down. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people. or biological or chemical products said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene these batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and there was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits. woodbridge literally send a v.a. broke and they don't want to pay it so the wady and decades

a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. called up and get the middle finger the movie is tomorrow or the slow. delayed and i hope you don't. run out international this morning seems the legal battles north for a massacre in iraq a decade ago as a coach thrown out convictions against god for the notorious us military contracts a black hole. thousands of russian speaking children and find stranded and all from it you know right up to their parents and they died fighting for terrorists coming out there. we hear this story still spreading lies will. only come to light. on the british police aimed at countering hate crime.
