Why did this take so long?!
Who?????
Ya wished this happened years ago
Government is trying to regain public trust. The public isn't taking the covid vaccine because they don't trust the government. It's a pathetic attempt on their part. Don't take the vaccine they are trying to set a precedent for medical tyranny.
Because of partisan games. You dont matter to a politician.
republicans have blocked it.
2015- 2019. Flint now prosecuting? Incredible and NOT a “waste of taxpayer dollars”. incredibly sad that it took so long.
It's a pathetic attempt to regain public trust so more people will be willing to take the covid vaccine. Don't take the vaccine. They are trying to set a precedent for medical tyranny.
That had absolutely nothing to do with Snyder it was all the Flint city council.
investigations usually take several years before arrests are made. for four years, i say that is timely for something that has gone on for so long.
@@chuckbrueck3125 Ummm... I live in Flint. No. It was 95% Snyder and his unconstitutional Emergency Managers. There are those on Flint Council who absolutely were an issue (and still are), but this was pretty much all Snyder.
@@JeremyEllwood the flint city council did ALL of the damage. You're try to say it was Snyder's fault because he didn't clean up their mess fast enough? How about if they hadn't created the problem in the first place? Oh by the way I live in Mt Morris.
They should do time and this country should be ashamed of themselves for years
As long as you're talking about the members of the Flint city council that decided the only way they could give themselves raises was to cancel their water contract with the city of Detroit then ok, but it had nothing to do with the former governor.
It's not limited to flint.
why is it a Us problem that the city of flint could not do its job. the Only US problem is the Fed Gov EPA failed to do its job
Lock Them Up ! 🔐
I agree. They are responsible for deaths and illnesses. Sounds like manslaughter to me.
Our system has learned how to require 0 accountability for the shortcuts that cut people's lives short!
Exactly. And it sucks.
Right?!? He literally poisoned his constituents and now that he is to be held accountable it’s political?
It's about time!
The wheels of Justice roll slowly but they do move us along eventually. Their convictions will not bring back the Dead or lessen the suffering of those who became ill because of their willful negligence.
the sentencing should include sending Snyder to live in Flint, drink tap water and work at the water cleaning facility
I have a sneaky suspicion his Defence will get him 1 week in prison(which will be commuted due to health reasons) & he will be golfing by weekend
These people had a an emergency supply of water 💧 for themselves, meanwhile kids are getting poisoned with water containing 3x times the amount of lead in untreated water
They still don’t have proper water 🗣
Truth. We don't drink our water. I have a step-down filtration system and still don't drink it. My leading 2 filters are completely brown within a month of use (should not be the case for city water).
Misdemeanor???
Yep, since it had absolutely nothing to do with the former governor. It was the flint city council that canceled their water contract with the city of Detroit so they could give themselves raises.
Can impeach a president in one day, but this? YEARS.
You left a part out... They impeached a president in a 200+ year record time, but stimulus and this....?
There I fixed it. Love you have a good day.
not the same. try again.
Amazing. Only in America folks where profit trumps people.
Only the lawyers and politicians profit.
Send the guilty party to prison and make them drink the same water they let everybody else drink.
Leanne Walters lived across the street and 2 doors down from me. I remember when she first told us her kids were lead poisoned from the water. It was a battering ram to the chest.
They all corrupted.
How many kids got poisoned....?
loss 2021=
krplus.net/bidio/Y7V9a4momIKRiKQ
might b flimsy but i'm willing to watch it play out.
I suffered from led poisoning. I almost died. A part of my house had old pipes & I was being poisoned little by little until I totally got sick.
It figures he is a Republican. Killing people while making money just thrills them to the core.
You heard about the Middle East
About time... hoping all those that were hurt are doing a lot better
Not the governor or his family and friends
Political persecution, religious persecution, it's always something except the thing it actually is.
I’m now starting to question if IM crazy person. This is such the norm lately and it pretty much works for them. This America sucks!!
Not a waste of human lives of course. And who pays those taxes in order that “government” can address problems that come up, without squabbling over “costs” when the very health of the community is at risk. Sad.
Y NOW? Y wasn’t people being held accountable then? 😏
It's not just Flint. By far not just Flint.
Wow unbelievable!!
And his accomplices too guilty 😻
Misdemeanor charges?!? That's it??? Disgusting!
She said...”This case has nothing to do with political partisanship.”
So why say it?
Just say that the poisoned water was a "Alex Jones conspiracy theory" and it will all just go away.
Unfortunately greed is human nature. It’s just not the the kind of human nature Flint needed as officials of switched water sources then failure again after the cries for help, death and illness came in, still nothing done to fix, remedy, reverse, nothing they did on their part to help the people of flint.
I think people personally need to start being held accountable for their own roll in such disasters horrible acts. Average Individuals are held accountable table for everything from making a right hand turn to murder. But if you work in big corporations other big establishments. The corporation or establishment is punished by fines and not the people that work for them or make these disastrous greedy decisions because they know individuals are never held personally accountable for their roll. The most is a resignation! Rarely actual prison. Even if deaths are involved. It’s mind blowing. Want to get away with murder, want to steal millions, just join or create an organization.
Good bless people that did
Lead poisoning is serious thing. When we first arrived in the United States after our country was fallen to the communist party, we settled in SF. I remember my mom bought cooking wares from China where you can see dark substance coming off the pans each time you wash them.
Oh my! Did she throw them out and got safer ones?
@@reginaphalange3225
No, we kept using them for many years, more than 5 years if I recall correctly. These pots were made out of silver aluminum. When you scrub with dish soap, I noticed dark substance would came off from it. We didn't know what it was. We thought it was normal.
We bought these in SF Chinatown. I tried to look them up on the internet to provide you with reference. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any. Don't them if they still selling these pots. Hey, when you're poor, anything helps, including these pots.
China made, eh? :)
Funny how this was barely covered on any media platform for like the past 2-3 years.
All of these people need to go to jail for a very long time.
Ruined the lives of hundred of thousands of people but only charged with 2 misdemeanor charges with $1,000 dollar fine and less than 1 year in jail? Do you see justice being served here?
Told over and over and over again the water was bad.. and He and others ignored it despite all Studies. People DIED from this and he's being charged with a misdemeanor?
I'm Canadian in England and knew about this negligence. I'm 'GOBSMACKED ' as they here. Nail the buggers.
Misdemeanor charges only? Why?
How were they able to get away with this for so long??
Good!!
...just as soon as it's forgotten, it's right back in the fire.
It should not have took this long for them to be charge. Once again the the people who were in charge want to play the victim.🙄🙄 put them in jail!
"Drink MORE unclean water"!
Wow, America is lawless.
2 days to impeach
Years for Flint
How could anyone think this was ok just to save money
This is partisan issue. This is what happens when Republicans govern and refuse to listen to local people.
I’m confused what did they do
Why not go after the local politicians of Flint michigan? They had a hand in this as well
This is the news we need to see
Throw the book at them.
Everyone involved should do jail time..
Guilty😻

TERRANCE OUT
He must forgot to pay the big man his 10 percent
Good bless bless ex former
All those innocent people locked up because a certain group of people decided to poison flint's water thinking they were in their own country.
Its about time!!They should be in jail for a long time!!!!
Why dont they leave flint
Misdemeanor ain't that a b****
why did it take 6 years for this to happen?
Where is Mccarthy?????????
M.m. years later no accountability. How is this America its not any more.
GM said the water was to corrosive for them and then the water was switched back on to GM while people drank poison! Yes there is some misleading statements here!
How do you poison a whole pest control block and not know about it.
Barely? Oh ok.
A misdemeanor?
Wake up y'all.
As a tax payer, I don’t think it’s a waste of money. Give them justice, and punish those corrupt politicians please.
Believe it or not most major cities in the United states have the same quality of water. Our infrastructure has been ignored for decades yet we can give every other country billions of dollars.
nice lie and bull crap. some citys like mine do it better
@@dknowles60 You have obviously never seen what the mains look like inside. Test your tap water. Most of the mains in large cities have been there accumulating build up for well over 100 years. People flush everything down the commode. Drugs , heavy metals, tampax, poison, etc. They can't get all of that out. That's why the Feds have slowly raised the acceptable levels over time.
@@Kacee2 let me tell you something fool. i am a plumber for a living. have worked on water mains. water mains come in pvc, cast Iron, translite i seen then made out of clay and wood. dear fool drugs heavy metals tampax end up in the sewers. they can be made of PVC clay concrete cast iron wood, lots of things. a good water treatment plant can get almost every thing. dear fool were you raised im Michigan like me. were you born apx 40 miles from flint like me. let me give you a quick history lession. i have Family in the flint saginaw area that goes back to 1880. hint flint could never treat water. not in 1905, not in 1930, not in 1944. the city so Saginaw where i was born in 40 miles down stream from flint. the flint river does end in going into the saginaw river. it did not work out good for saginaw mi as the saginaw river was a very crapy river like the Flint river. the city of saginaw had enought and built its own pipe line to lake huron and had very good water since 1948. why the city of flint was to dumb to build a pipe line to saginaw i will never know. flint did not get good water untill apx 1970 when the detroit water system built a pipe line to flint. some dumbie in 2014 thought it would be a good idea to quit the detroit water system. flint has proven since apx 1885 to 1970 it could never treat water and by fed gov law since flint could never treat water THE EPA was required BY Fed gov law to camp out at the Flint water treatment for at least 90 days
@@dknowles60 you sound like a plumber alright. 3rd grade education. Plumbers don't treat and test the water. That's done in a lab by intelligent people.
@@Kacee2 stay out of plumbing super fool. you know nothing. who do you think taps the water main and run the service pipe to you house. hint its a plumber. hint by law in most places a plumber has to visit a water treatment. hint by law plumbers can test water. even a fool like you. its simple open up a water out let. colect water in bottle. take to your local heath dept or some other place that will test water
My wife became ill after swimming in North Dakota lake that had toxic blue algae 9 years ago .The lake was closed the following year for season 2 dogs died .my wife needs stem cell operation she has had hundreds of transfusions many trips 2 mayo many procedures very sick if anyone can get me the people that held michigan acountability I need help holding North Dakota acountability hiding issue from public should upset every American.
Jail for Life !
I wish he was going to jail! Please hold him accountable! At the very least force him to drink the water for the rest of his miserable rotten life!
FINALLY
He has been a crook for years.
Finally some good news
excellent news , good start
Different laws for different people clear as day.
About time!
And they let that SOB skate.
Make them drink the water!
When flint was booming in the auto industry making billions why didn't they fix the water system then who was in charge Then what they spend money on
what country is this???????????? America is over
Because they don't care!
The truth must return for the truth when the ambitious person do not scare honour only push the country to trouble .
Am I to believe that none of these people heard of Erin brokovitch?
Whatever happened to Erin Brockovitch
All of us will stand before God one Day. Good luck!!
Lock them up.
ALL ARE PUNISHED
no we dont think it’s a waste of our tax dollars.... rick Snyder needs to go to jail...from a flint resident
Why were one of the city council members that wanted to line your pockets by switching to a water supply 2 years before it was completed? From a Mt Morris resident.
They expect us to trust them enough to put our lives in their hands! Ugh #TheyDontCare
Sneider for prison
Jesus will get justice for these people and their children. The Day of the Lord will be a day of vengeance on the wicked.
Lol not guilty? So you where in charge but not responsible?
Well, it's a judicial process. I just hope that the former chief executive gets convicted despite his plea during the arraignment.
Why didn't common sense in human decency, lead them to look for answers?
It mostly harmed black and poor people....nithing will be done to him unless There are riots.....get out there and speak up people..."peacefully" protest!
The black dude is the only one who will go to jail 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another typical Republican... What a Shame...
