In 2020, Kamala Harris made a point of letting people know how she would wield power. She could ruin lives with the swipe of a pen.
The potential for her abuse of power is great as she has such a sophomoric grasp on that responsibility. This is illustrated in her past actions. A play in 3 acts.
Act 1. The Kevin Cooper Case
Harris denies any wrongdoing in the case of Kevin Cooper, a Black man convicted in California of murdering four white people in 1983 and sentenced to death. He has maintained his innocence but lost at least a dozen appeals. He remains on death row in San Quentin State Prison
…Attorney Bill Shipley, who was a federal prosecutor and now represents January 6 suspects in court, wrote on X that the Cooper case should be highlighted.
“I think a lawsplainer is in order about Harris’ efforts as AG to prevent an appeals court from considering DNA evidence that would have exonerated a man on death row.”
“Her office litigated aggressively against allowing that evidence to be considered in federal litigation to say his execution date. The details are fuzzy but I’m going to refresh my recollection and bring everyone the story,” he wrote.
Act 2. Jamal Trulove
Actor and filmmaker Jamal Trulove has spoken out about his experience with Kamala Harris following his 2010 wrongful conviction for murder.
In a recent YouTube interview on the channel The Art of Dialogue, Trulove recounted the day he was convicted of first-degree murder, a charge for which he was later acquitted and awarded $13.1 million from San Francisco. He described seeing Harris, then the San Francisco district attorney, in the courtroom.
“When they came with the verdict guilty … I turned around, and I looked, and I saw Kamala Harris,” said Trulove, who starred in the 2019 film “The Last Black Man in San Francisco.”
“We locked eyes this one time, and she laughed.”
The filmmaker said that before his trial, he and others in his community had hoped Harris, a Black district attorney from the East Bay, might be sympathetic to their concerns. But it didn’t work out that way.
Trulove, who was sentenced to 50 years in prison, expressed his shock at Harris’ reaction. “She literally just, like, kind of busted out laughing,” he said.

Act 3. Gianfranco Torres-Navarro
According to U.S. authorities, Torres-Navarro is the leader of a Peruvian crime gang and is thought to be personally responsible for 23 murders. He is a notorious figure in Peru, where he is known as “Gianfranco 23,” clearly “a reference to the number of people he is alleged to have killed,” according to the Associated Press. He has a girlfriend who, also according to the Associated Press, “has a sizable following on the social media platform TikTok where she showed off their lavish lifestyle, including designer clothes, resort vacations and shooting targets at a gun range.” Not to put too fine a point on it, but Torres-Navarro’s gang is known as “Los Killers.”
…On Wednesday, Torres-Navarro was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Endicott, New York, a village with a population of 13,667 about 190 miles north of New York City. Given that he is a wanted man, wanted for very serious crimes in Peru, one might ask how he made it to the United States.
…The presence of Torres-Navarro in the U.S., free to go as he pleases, was a direct result of the border policies of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. You’ve heard about their policy of allowing millions into the U.S. unvetted. This is that policy in action. Torres-Navarro is the face of that policy. He is a one-man, walking illustration of the dangerous nature of the Biden-Harris border.
Wait a minute, some Democrats might say. Are you arguing that every person who crosses the border illegally is a murderer? Of course not. What the Torres-Navarro case shows is that U.S. authorities, under Biden and Harris, are not really checking anybody. If they let a man wanted for 23 murders through, they’ll let anybody through. And indeed, they do.
Act 4
In support of the 2020 riots in Minnesota, Kamala Harris endorsed a fund to raise bail for those arrested. A perp released with that fund went on to kill two people.
A bail fund promoted by Vice President Kamala Harris helped lead to the release of an alleged Minneapolis domestic abuser — who has been charged with murder in a road-rage slaying.
George Howard, 48, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder for allegedly shooting Luis Damian Martinez Ortiz, 38, during a road-rage incident on Interstate 94 in Minneapolis on Aug. 29, KSTP reported.
Surveillance video reportedly showed Ortiz getting out of his blue BMW and approaching Howard’s white Volvo before Howard shot the other man and fled. Ortiz died from a gunshot wound to the chest, officials said.
