    I did not cheer OJ's acquittal.

    "We know that the system does not work this way for Black people. It is difficult even to imagine a similar set of circumstances for a Black defendant. Nobody honestly thinks that a Black teenager who got an illegal gun and then crossed state lines to shoot up a MAGA protest would be greeted by a sympathetic Black judge, in front of a predominately Black jury; be lauded by prominent Black leaders; enjoy favorable media coverage; and then walk free. Nobody credible thinks that. In point of fact, here is the full and complete list of Black teenagers who have killed two people at a MAGA rally to defend their community:"

    His intent that night is not irrelevant to the case. It is just too hard too prove.

    Look, no offense to anyone on this thread who's posted a tweet. But I'm trying to go out of my way to not see that killer's face and you can't mute individual posts here.

    I still blame his parents for letting him go into a dangerous situation to cosplay as a SEAL.

    He’s still a scumbag who went out looking to kill somebody and did so.

    Him and Zimmerman will have quite a life.

    Its been an odd couple of days with Rittenhouse acquitted, Jones commuted in Oklahoma and who knows what happens in the Georgia case. The Rittenhouse case was over has soon as the judge was selected - though I think he should have been flagged for taunting when he allowed his cell phone to go off and the ringtone was God Bless the USA.

    Rittenhouse will be on the next edition of Dancing with the Stars and talk about his desire to "put the past behind him and wanting to experience joy once again."

    And here is the problem with your country. Where else is it perfectly acceptable to walk down the street with an AR 15?
