    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    There is little reason to believe that Derek Chauvin committed 2nd degree murder, but I think that's just how badly they want a prosecution. There is no way that they're going to settle for less than the lowest charge - which is the one they'll actually be gunning for. (aim high, hit low) If...

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    Hey, dumb guy... Might want to read actual prosecutor statements, and not Fox News soundbites. For reference, the prosecutors name is Jerry Blackwell... And here are a smattering of actual opening statement quotes. ======= Moments before showing that image, Blackwell presented the oath that...

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    I still fail to understand why anyone - here or elsewhere - is so invested in arresting a hood rat, in his own hood, and running him through the system, for such a fucking insignificant offense. We don't even punish real criminals in this country. What the fuck good do you think you're gonna...

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    If he was as high as you want to believe he was, I would have just waited for him to OD on his own. Would have saved a lot of trouble. Not really sure what the rest of your typical Karen babble rant was all about.

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    Yo, Dr Tree... If I knew as well as you do, I'd probably be one of the "experts" testifying. What I do know, is that there will be multiple doctors testifying that the asphyxia that was induced, was (mechanical) trauma related. And I know that you'll choose which side you want to believe...

    Thank you. That's absolutely the point.

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    Would you trust a liberal telling you that Joe Biden won the election fair and square? What part of your smooth brain fails to understand what happens to the public opinion, when a police officer is involved in a black death? (in any way, shape, or form) If you're in that part of Minneapolis...

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    So there's no difference between a neck hold in a martial arts environment, vs one applied to an unwilling participant? I was in an altercation once, and applied a neck hold to someone - fully justified. I was a little surprised at how the amount of adrenaline I was under, made that hold so...

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    Ask anyone who has ever trained in JuJitsu or wrestling, what a knee to the neck does. If that's a police department policy anywhere, that doesn't really inspire confidence in the handling of suspects. There's always going to necessarily be a threshold for the use of force, and always going...

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    So why don't we just have ourselves a "purge" then? I mean fuck ethics, after all. I'm no fan of junkies - and I'm hardly a humanitarian, but that doesn't really sound like well thought out logic.

    Derek Chauvin 'defense'

    I think it's amazing how the disdain for BLM has turned into this ball of contradictions. Even if you never knew what color George Floyd was, it's pretty hard to ignore the fact that every witness on the ground told the officer that he was going to kill him, and that even a fellow officer...

    Like I said before... I guess this is just a therapy session for angry white guys, then. I'm sure that every leftist in America for the last 100 years has been worried about a "level playing field". Seems that you've been chasing bogeys, while they've been steadfastly acquiring the means of...

    Fair enough, but if you are contributing SOMETHING, then my questions aren't actually for you.... strangely enough. But whatever your contributions are, they aren't nearly as visible as the other side, and there's all kinds of problems with that. All questions that I've asked already. All...

    I went on a little tour of the fun in both Portland and Seattle last year. I wanted to see how the opposition thinks and operates - because I'm not just someone who likes to let someone else tell me how the world is (I suppose that's part of the whole not liking Jesus thing - I have to be...

    I was just giving as good as I get. If I'm a liberal, you're a liberal. If I'm a leftist, you're a leftist. Now the real question... why don't conservatives own (at least) an equal share in media? Why are leftists owning everything these days? How did that happen? Could it be that...

    No, your liberal media has brainwashed them with a narrative about how systemic racism in America has created a fatherless society, by denying black men the role of father, by keeping them perpetually incarcerated. Get your fucking stereotypes right.

    First off - I don't disagree, in principle, with any of that. The problem is, how do you propose to deal with the problem, for those who don't have strong communities? When do you not force care, vs deny a workable solution to those who are in the shit? If those whose ethics or morals you...

    For sure they do. The question is - what was the point of posting the graphic with race demographics, then? How do you logically propose that we remove race from the discussion, after it's been introduced as a contributing factor to the discussion? The point that was being made, wasn't mine...

    Does it really matter? This is what's happening. It's not an intellectual exercise. I fail to see how your statement clearly addresses a problem. I understand the statement, I just want to know what the proposed solution is. Something that respects the liberties of the individual, without...
