Just skip the trial and lynch him now. This is apparently how it’s done in America these days. obumber was right, I hardly recognize America anymore, or FR for that matter.
Yep these rioters do not want due process but a public lynching and for his naked body dragged through the streets
You’re exactly right. The victimhood/diversity industry has almost erased the concept of equal justice under the law. The left thinks “justice” means that they get what they want, otherwise there is injustice. We can all see where this is headed, as with past similar incidents. In the minds of the lynch mob, the trial is a meaningless formality. They’ve already convicted this guy (and I’m not saying he isn’t likely guilty) in the “court of public opinion”, and nothing less than a guilty verdict and execution in the public square will be acceptable to them.
This is also a typical leftist no-win scenario. If they hadn’t arrested and charged the officer (and now the other three), the riots just continue. If they now acquit the cop(s), the riots rage again. If they convict him (them), but the punishment meted out by the court is inadequate in the minds of the mob, more riots. And no matter what happens, even if they give the mob everything they want in this situation, it will do nothing to quiet their absurd claims of “systemic racism.”
Melissa Francis actually had a good, tactical question for Juan Williams this morning when they were discussing alleged “systemic racism.” She asked him to name something specific and tangible that we can do to address the “problem.” He stumbled around searching for an answer, and then spouted more vague generalities. She kept at it, saying we all want to address this problem, now how do we do that? He still couldn’t come up with a coherent answer. THAT may be the best way to attack this insanity: Accept their premise and then ask for specific measures they expect us to take.
The result, as with Juan, is likely to be initially a few specifics related to this particular incident, like changes in police policy, etc., but if we keep pushing for specifics on their larger blanket claim of “systemic racism” that they imagine is everywhere, they can’t really respond. They don’t really want to give very many specific suggestions because THEY DON’T WANT TO SOLVE THE IMAGINED PROBLEM. They just want to create an unending imaginary issue, to be used as a cudgel to beat political opponents (white, conservative, straight, Christians) over the head with. And it also serves as a shield to protect blacks from honest examination of their own contribution to their problems.
George H.W. Bush started it with his Federal charges of the Rodney King policemen, IMO.
JoSixChip, what’s different about FR?
