So? There are these little things called the facts and the law. If he’s guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, he should be convicted. If he’s not guilty or there is reasonable doubt, he should be acquitted. That’s why we have these things called a trial and a jury of your peers. How a bunch of thugs react does not (or at least should not) matter.
Besides, there are going to be riots regardless of the outcome. That’s a given.
commie says what?
You know, just for that alone and not regarding any merits of anything else, I hope he is acquitted.
Just to mess with Van Jones.
Trial by media, or trial by celebrity: Neither is fit for justice.
Fentanyl is a heluva drug.
Is that a threat?
Since when does what the media wants force a court case outcome? He doesnt care about rule of law, if the jury decides different than his wishes.
Van. Don’t you have a gonad to play with? STFU.
Chauvin is OUR O.J. Simpson. If BLM has a fit, you must acquit. America doesn’t do lynch mobs anymore.
Sounds like extortion to me.
Chauvin sy’s trial should be a cakewalk for any competent attorney. He cannot get a fair one in this white-hating, biased society.
If Derek Chauvin is acquitted the rioting will make what happened after the Rodney King verdict look like a picnic...
Back then the violence was mostly contained in LA, I still remember those Korean Shop owners shooting back and staked out on roof tops with rifles protecting their businesses..
This time the rioting will be all over the nation with Democrats leading the charge...
news from a felon
Continuing to try winning through intimidation. Race hustlers like Van Jones and Al Sharpton as well love to try and dictate policy and the conversation through either outright bullying or through intimidation. Bring it on Jones, Americans have about had their fill of folks like you.
Van Jones is a Communist, so he can go and say it in North Korea...
Despite any instructions the judge might have given the jurors ("don't read papers,listen to radio or access the internet") we can be certain that they will hear all the warnings about “a firestorm” occurring if he's found not guilty. And those jurors,having heard that,might say to themselves “I'm not convinced of his guilt but I'll vote guilty in order to save the country (and my family) the catastrophic consequences of a not guilty verdict”.
The only hope he has is a Federal appeals court...but even that is a slim hope because Federal judges have families too.
Will there be an insurrection?
Communist countries and other dictatorships indulge in political show trials. The purpose of a show trial is to demonstrate the power* of the government. There is never any doubt about the outcome of a show trial. None. The people advocating for show trials believe that THEY will never be effected by the legal system. They may be right. Then again, maybe not. There’s really no telling. One of the reason dictators frequently destroy their own supporters is to create such fear in the rest that there will never be disloyalty. So, loyalty and service will not protect you.
* I am reminded of a meme. An obvious woman liberal hippie type is demonstrating. She is being hosed down with a stream of pepper spray from what appears to be a fire extinguisher. Above her head is written, “wants more government.” The guy doing the hosing is a cop. Above head is written, “more government.”
And why is THIS not considered a ‘dog whistle,’ signaling to the Leftists, the Anarchists, the Antifa, the BLM crowd that it will be okay to riot when the cop is ultimately acquitted?
They are the ones promoting "hate".
And I'm sick of watching them make heroes out of criminals.
I’m sure the script is already written in both case scenarios, guilty or not.
I actually believe Van Jones, Antifa and BLM are hoping and praying for a not guilty verdict.
