Running racism in America thread

Castle doctrine in my state extends to the street. Anyone on your property without permission is fair game.

 

So offsetting penalties?

 

I don't disagree. It's troubling that it came to this for anyone. Looking back, it was also kind of obvious that it eventually would. You can only escalate things for so long before something goes horribly sideways. It was all fun and games and peaceful protests until someone got shot and killed. You hope we as Americans learn a valuable lesson from that, but I doubt we will.

 

Pretty much. But I don't want to replay the down.

 

I think that the lesson learned is that, if you are going to protest where opponents might be confrontational, you need be sure to bring superior firepower, so your rights won’t be infringed.

 

More protests, more shooting, more deaths. As inevitable as cold November rain.

 

At the very least, it appears you'd be wise not to bring a skateboard to a gunfight.

 

If anyone cheered O.J.'s acquittal, they have to cheer Rittenhouse's acquittal.

 

JUST IN: Tucker Carlson to Interview Kyle Rittenhouse on Monday

 

Deep Thoughts.

 

There’s an OJ verdict in every city all the time. There’s a Rittenhaus verdict in every city all the time. Without national media coverage it’s a local story that goes away in a few days. Most of the time the system works. But criminals get away with it all the time too. We have taken reasonable doubt beyond what it originally meant. And despite the instruction that it’s not supposed to be to a mathematical certainty, jurors tend to think it should be. Black jurors acquit and convict black defendants all the time, white jurors acquit and convict white defendants at all the time.

these jurors deliberated for 3 days. It wasn’t a knee jerk reaction. The judge pushed them, hard, in this direction, but they chose it themselves.
Let’s not make this more than it is, click bait and endless stories for media across the spectrum

 

I was a freshman in high school when I cheered OJ's acquittal. I think I get a mulligan on that one.
