A Miami jury on Thursday convicted a Donald Trump supporter who was accused of shooting at two men in a dust-up that started over one of them flying a “Running with Biden” flag on his Jet Ski on Election Day 2020.
The six-person jury deliberated less than two hours in convicting Eduardo Acosta, 39, on charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault with a firearm and armed robbery. He faces up to life in prison, with a mandatory minimum of at least 20 years, when he is sentenced on Dec. 16.
The case was decided against the backdrop of increased political rancor ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections. The case made for a challenging jury selection process, with many potential jurors unable to serve because of their own political biases.
Prosecutors alleged that Acosta was on his Jet Ski with a group of men on Nov. 3, 2020, when they allegedly approached two other men on a small Biscayne Bay island near Miami Marine Stadium. Those two men, Wilson Peralta and Alfredo Garcia, were on their own Jet Skis, and one of them flew a Biden flag.
Triggered by the flag, prosecutors said, Acosta began to argue with the men, claiming that anyone who supported Biden was a “child molester.” The insult originates from an unfounded QAnon conspiracy theory that a “deep state” group of child sex traffickers were secretly working to defeat Trump.

It comes from his daughters diary and sniffing and touching every little girl that’s near.
“claiming that anyone who supported Biden was a “child molester.” The insult originates from an unfounded QAnon conspiracy theory that a “deep state” group of child sex traffickers were secretly working to defeat Trump.”
I don’t think that is where the child molester insult comes from.
...while thousands of antifa go free after burning down cities and murdering Trump supporters.
Six jurors? Attempted murder?
Yeah, pay no attention to the dozens of videos of Biden groping, sniffing and fondling little girls.
Those were the only Biden supporters they could gin up in Little Havana.
The media will investigate every crime from now on to “find” connections to Trump.
MIAMI!
Yeah, sure. I’m sure that as soon as one potential juror saw that opening during voir dire it was a scramble for everyone to follow.
What would happen at a typical trial if a juror walked in carrying a book by a conservative author?
There’s Biden flag???
I walked into a jury selection conspicously carrying a copy of Machiavelli’s The Prince once. Damned trial lasted month!

They finally got one of us! Not for lack of trying . . . uh, how many have we caught on their side that have never been convicted of anything, let alone tried, let alone charged, let alone arrested, let alone even given a citation for jaywalking????
So, the local PD upon hearing that Trump supporters were on the mix, blew by a cargo ship offloading ten tons of pot, a speed boat with a thousand kilo of coke, and two dead hookers floating on the bay.
But they finally got a Trump supporter.
Nope, Joe earned his reputation through showering with, fondling and sniffing children. The Qanon label is now applied to anyone on the right to paint them as a nutcase. Not saying this guy isn't a nutcase, and I have no idea if he followed Q or not. Not ALL nutcases are Qanon believers.
Its all about priorities!
The “reporters” at the M.H. were probably orgasmic in finally finding one of the fabled right-wing shooters.
