Was it appropriate for Maxine Waters to basically say, you know, ‘Go into the streets and engage in civil unrest if he’s not found guilty? For a gazillion reasons, inappropriate. But, unless the jurors say ‘Yeah that affected me,’ it’s kind of no harm no foul,” he added.

So just deny it and you're good.

What a joke.

That was literally the excuse for Biden saying "yeah, hes guilty", that it was after the jurors were sequestered so they couldn't hear it. Its just so frustrating to have them constantly fuck around like that and never get any meaningful pushback.

Just because we burned a cross on their lawn, it doesn't mean the jurors were intimidated. If we shoot their wife to death in the middle of the street, and they don't say they were affected, then they weren't.

Lyncherdom.

But didn't we already have Jurors giving interviews saying they were affected by the violence / unrest in their community, and had made up their minds to convict based on that?

He can't win an appeal because the fix is in. The leftists want him crucified, and the few remaining non-leftists with any authority won't stand up for him because they'd rather throw him to the wolves than let the city burn.

Win or lose, he still gets killed in prison.

If the system wasn't broken, then yes. Honestly from what I saw of the trial I would say if the system wasn't broken then he never should have been convicted. However with the riots, Waters and Biden saying the things they did, and the plans for Feds to grab him, the system is clearly very broken, and he has no chance.

I thought Nelson did such a fantastic job, too.

If Chauvin appealed his conviction tomorrow, he would lose. If every arsonist in the country dropped dead first, he would win.

Did everyone miss the stories about how the feds were in place to immediately arrest Chauvin if he in the event of a not guilty verdict or mistrial?

Well they obviously wouldn't want their scapegoat to get away.

There is a legit case for a mistrial...

It looks like there could be a mistrial, but the downside to the law is that whatever's on that paper doesn't matter a single bit if it isn't actually followed.

I hope there'll be one but Chauvin was clearly in a show trial imho.

Well, judging from the thread, we're not.

Honestly, this needs to be the primary way of dealing with Leftist courts. Thomas Jefferson did the same thing to keep the Alien And Sedition Act out of the courts. He got elected claiming he would get rid of the law (he didn't, they just got rid of the part that made insulting the President a crime), and pardoned absolutely every single person who was prosecuted under it.

That should be the current and on-going strategy for right-wing executives. You don't have to enforce unconstitutional laws or orders. Pardon anyone convicted by Leftist Lyncherdom. They can't appeal it, they can't even challenge it. Then, hire those people into political oversight positions and break the god damned system.
