2022 Georgia Senate Race

[Dr. Ken]

Female mod is treating walker like he's misbehaving at the back of the class.

Walker has interrupted elebenty billion times in 30 minutes. The female mod is taking no prisoners.

He’s desperate to show he’s been prepped and he wants to show off his new knowledge.

That badge looks like the toy badges that you see in grocery stores' kids' toy sections.

IANAL so I has a question:

I found this on Justicia just now:

2020 Georgia Code
Title 16 - Crimes and Offenses
Chapter 10 - Offenses Against Public Administration
Article 2 - Obstruction of Public Administration and Related Offenses
§ 16-10-23. Impersonating a Public Officer or Employee
Universal Citation: GA Code § 16-10-23 (2020)

A person who falsely holds himself out as a peace officer or other public officer or employee with intent to mislead another into believing that he is actually such officer commits the offense of impersonating an officer and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than five years, or both.

(Code 1933, § 26-2405, enacted by Ga. L. 1968, p. 1249, § 1; Ga. L. 1986, p. 1059, § 1.)

Cross references.

- Criminal penalty for false representation as representative of peace officer organization for purposes of soliciting donations, selling advertising, and other activities, § 16-9-57.

ETA: The above citation is from a 2020 version of the Justia page. The 2021 version appears to me to be identical.

I also found a reference to a court decision on the subject provision:

O.C.G.A.

§ 16-10-23 does not require victim be misled. - Defendant's contention that, because the victims never believed that defendant was a police officer, the evidence was insufficient to support a conviction of impersonating a police officer was without merit because the crime does not require that the victims actually be misled. Self v. State, 245 Ga. App. 270, 537 S.E.2d 723 (2000).

So:
My question is: What, exactly, am I missing?

IMO, he (the Hersch) was joking. As in, ha ha, I'm going to make fun of this issue to make it allll go away.

The badge* appeared to be in a toy-store cardboard and clear plastic wrapping, with a punch-out hole in the top of the cardboard so you could hang it on a wall rack. Like a Party Town. Or is it Party Time?

This dude is an utter bull-shitter, with an ego the size of Jupiter, which is only eclipsed by his ignorance. As he said when asked why voters should not be concerned about his mental health, "I'm fine now." Right.

The badge gadget was mentioned very far up in this thread and I am inn no mood to look for the stuff just now.

One chief of police did issue a real badge to him, With a glorious letter naming him a "honorary member of his police force" for whatever appearance Walker made at the time. The plaquette on the leather though does not identify that holder as a police officer, it reads again "honorary" something or other. If Walker were to use this to pretend to be an official, he would be in deep trouble.

That's what I say, too also.

I don't know ... I think he forgot to say every banana is a mailbox. Other than that, great job, Herschel.

It's like Boebert's "two words" (or was that Maggie-poo). It's for the fun, y'know? It's all a joke. The lastest twist on Owning the Libs

Periodically the FBI or some other agency will do a public presentation on how seniors can avoid computer scams and that sort of thing. They call it public relations or community involvement. Walker calls it training.

How Republicans Cast Aside Concerns and Learned to Love Herschel Walker

Shane Goldmacher, Michael C. Bender and Maya King
Sat, October 15, 2022 at 4:11 PM·

Since Herschel Walker launched his bid for Senate last year, Georgia voters have learned about his ex-wife’s allegations of domestic violence, his multiple children born out of wedlock and, most recently, assertions from a former girlfriend that he paid for one abortion and urged her to end a second pregnancy, while claiming to oppose abortion.

Walker, a former football star and first-time candidate, has denied the latest claim and expressed shock about what he has cast as a stunning partisan broadside. But some Republicans close to him were hardly surprised: They had been discussing the arrival of this moment with the candidate for months.

Walker’s team was braced to defend him against accusations that he threatened his ex-wife, a claim that’s been public for years. But some advisers also knew about the specific abortion claim made by the mother of one of Walker’s children, according to two people familiar with the conversations. Those who knew said they warned Walker to prepare for the possibility that those details would become fodder in a political campaign, but Walker refused.

The issue mostly frustrated him, these people said. Walker privately denied the abortion, but instead of discussing a strategy to handle the claim, he maintained that the details would never become public. At times he would argue that if his ex-girlfriend’s account did leak out, it would not be believed because he had a child with the woman, according to the two people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

I had no idea he'd been on GH. I spent much of my high school and early college years hopelessly hooked on that show, but I never saw him. I started watching while Richard Dean Anderson was one of the of the leading men.
