DON LEMON: Larry, I have to say this, I thought this was very interesting. You said not even an O.J. [Simpson] jury would convict Officer Wilson. I mean, should he at least be charged?

LARRY ELDER: Well, I think he will be charged. I think Van is right. I think the politics will compel a charge, but I think the law and the facts will compel an acquittal.

...I think the politics will compel a charge...

Politics trumps justice every time.

I think they’ll indict to kick the can down the road but a jury won’t convict and then a major portion of St Louis will burn.

[Jagdgewehr]

Indeed. A pervasive element of a tyrannical state.

Larry Elder makes some excellent points......but he talks too fast and looks so angry. I understand why with the host constantly interrupting Larry Elder, yet letting Van Jones speak until he runs out of words to say..

Do you mean “censored”?

Seems to me that a reasonable host would have less reason to interrupt a guest who is speaking fast/efficiently as opposed to a slow laborious speaking guest.

[RedMDer]

I did. LOL!
Censured may be even worse.
It was late :)

If he is found not guilty because it was self defense, does that prevent any civil suits against him?

That’s how it works here in CO, and a lot of other states. I’m not sure if Missouri is that way?

In both cases now of late, of hi profile “innocent” black males being shot to death...they ignore the fact the black male attack before being shot.. this is crazy ...why use these cases to try and make your case if its so common?

Because ...you can... find cases of innocent people being shot by the cops, so there should be far better examples of black males then Martin & Brown?

Is there a reason the left, when it picks a martyr, it needs it to be a thug like Martin & Brown?

To be a black male is not synonymous to being a thug.. but the honorable black male is dismissed and attack as a “Tom” and not authentic...

While the thugs are held up as the role model...

There is a reason the left is doing this and its ugly thinking almost.. Charles Manson ugly thinking...

Read up on Mansons “Helter Skelter” reason in the 60’s ... and how many on the radical Alinsky left seem to embrace it to some degree.. there is a deep deep racist root in the radical left ..I think they think of black males as the thug SA "brownshirt" fodder on the street for "their leftist" revolution

[RedMDer]

Better?
:)

[Graybeard58]

Yep.

And I’m glad that you didn’t take offense at my gentle suggestion.

[RedMDer]

I’m glad that you noticed the error. Thanks.

Charged with what???

[ozzymandus]

Van Jones is allowed to speak as long as he wants because he’s an America-hating communist racist. CNN loves him.

Good one, Larry.

The racialists are going a bridge too far with this one.
