Why Maxine Waters Wanted a Mistrial for Derek Chauvin
American Thinker ^ | 21 Apr, 2021 | Sally Zelikovsky

Posted on 04/21/2021 4:22:58 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Now that Chauvin's been convicted, she and the racialist Democrats she leads are working instead with the lure of a mistrial on appeal.

When Maxine Waters called for people in the streets of Minnesota to be more active and confrontational if Derek Chauvin were to be acquitted, like many, I thought she had handed a gift to the defense on appeal. In some ways, she did. We all heard Judge Cahill describe her behavior as abhorrent, and, while he didn't think her remarks mattered in terms of the evidence and jury deliberations, he was unequivocal that her actions likely provided the defense with the basis for a mistrial at the appellate level and could well result in the case being thrown out. Why, if that's what he thought, didn't the judge declare a mistrial himself?

Some might say it's because he didn't want to try the case again, but I think he didn't want to be "that guy" responsible for letting Chauvin off the hook and reaping the wrath of a good part of the country that had long promised to burn it all down. Why bear that burden himself and potentially subject his family to violence when it's so much easier to pass the buck to the appellate court?

We also have to question why someone as politically experienced as Maxine Waters would so brazenly deliver a message of incitement, knowing the optics and, more importantly, that her words and conduct would only serve the interests of the defense in claiming that this was textbook intimidation of both judge and jury. Why would a ruthless, calculating, lifelong professional left-wing s---kicker like Waters knowingly cross state lines to, if not incite, certainly agitate for continued unrest on America's streets?

Continuous strife. Communism is the cure to equality.

To quote again from The Godfather, it’s best served cold.

The quote is from Star Trek, The Wrath of Khan. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Actually the quote is from Hamlet.

(But it’s best if you read it in the original Klingon)

Anyone who can see knows that the song sheet the lefties are using have two verses they are singing LOUDLY.

SYSTEMIC RACISM and GUN CONTROL.

We live in a RACIST country - RACISM permeates every part of society! DO SOMETHING! You just heard Fredo on CNN stating how white kids have to die so people will open their eyes to this racism.

ALL GUNS must be outlawed! GUNS ARE BAD! Their next move is going to be a gun massacre on children... watch! They want to jam through gun legislation to take away the guns and the second amendment and they cannot stand it anymore. They have to pull out all stops!

Their threats to the Supreme Court were enough to allow a stolen election to stand, they won’t have any trouble with the lower courts in allowing this ‘conviction’ to stand.

You got that right, she ain’t that smart - the left doesn’t need a mistrial to perpetuate the rioting and violence - they see it and find it wherever they look.

Because without an acquittal or a mistrial β€” either of which would have unquestionably given rise to increased violence β€” Rep. Waters and most Democrats actually want the bedlam to continue. After all, racializing everything by pointing fingers at the straw men of white supremacy; white privilege; and the conveniently invisible and unmeasurable systemic, structural, and internalized variants of racism is the bread and butter of the Democrats.

“They want the riots. They want the hate and division. They want to destroy white America and will deconstruct all of America in the process, in order to recreate a new America in their image β€” cleansed of white history, white culture, and white people. I’m devastated to have to say that, but at this point, can there be any doubt?”

The judge left an unflushed present in the toilet for the next judge. Th probably did not wash his hands.
