OGs will remember #NotYourShield
Which reminds me, Mercedes Carrera is still in jail awaiting trial, going on almost six years now.
Holy shit, you're not kidding. Disgusting abuse from the justice system.
"The right to a speedy trial" means before 100 years have passed.
She was arrested in California. Under California law your right to a speedy trial means that the trial must commence within 45 days if you're not in custody or within 30 days if you are. If she was arrested on federal charges they have 70 days to bring her to trial.
The thing is, waiving your right to a speedy trial is pretty standard in almost all cases, because you generally want to give your defense team as much time as possible to prepare. If you are out on bail, it's almost a no-brainer because you can continue to work and live almost to normal life while waiting for the trial to commence.
I'm not sure why more defendants don't refuse to waive it as a tactical maneuver, considering the state will be as rushed as your own attorneys, and if very many people demanded their right to a speedy trial at the same time it would quickly overwhelm the justice system and result in mountains of dismissals.
Particularly in cases where the defendant is denied bail, it doesn't seem very advantageous to waive their rights, is the government pretty much has what it wants as long as you're in jail and have no incentive to not drag the entire process out as long as humanly possible.
The trial has been delayed by Mercedes herself numerous times, but the faggot judge still won't grant bail. The reason is that everything hinges on the testimony of the daughter who was manipulated by her father into making the accusations in the first place. They're waiting for the girl to grow up enough to understand how serious this all is so she won't just lie on the stand because daddy told her to.
I'd suggest that a group of people involved in the process have a financial incentive to advise defendants to waive their right.
Beyond that, the system endears so much legalese and judicial "red tape" that preparing a defense might not be realistic in only 30 or 45 days. Since this effectively destroys that right, it could be argued that this outcome is intentional. Alternatively, a bloated bureaucratic judicial system rides atop the mountain of regulation and law created by legislators, and has made a fast defense impractical.
Oh yea.. i think ive seen some of her work.
NotYourShield, where in an attempt to prove that Women and Minorities were not to be used as a shield were used as a shield but for GG itself, continuing the trend of treating their opinions as worth more than anyone else's.
I'll give early GG credit, they were right in that it was a Leftist movement even in how it acted.
Horseshit. It was just people from specific groups the woke claimed to speak for saying "no you don't speak for me". It was basically the only time sex and race were actually relevant in GG.
No, it was a bunch of blacks and women saying "you don't own us" while the rest of GG huddled behind them to deflect criticism about being racist/sexist because all the Leftists who made up the majority were still deep in Leftie political thinking. The same way the Right just so happened to find Candace Owens super smart and capable and totally not because she was a black woman they could use to say "look we aren't bigots!"
I was there nigger, and I was being downvoted for saying it then too, it was the same old worship of blacks and women as anyone on the Left. They were just on "our side" so it was treated as okay.
This whitewashing of history just tells me how much you guys were totally on board with it at the time that it didn't even occur to you it was happening. Especially if you think race/sex weren't always relevant to GG and how heavily it supported someone (such as the grifting Honeybadgers).
Which makes perfect sense, because early GG was filled with "one of the good ones" liberals who were determined to believe that this wasn't a left/right schism, and that it wasn't also happening anywhere outside of gaming.
There was a lot of gaslighting from controlled opposition within our ranks until the red pill suppositories started being handed out in bulk during the 2016 election. Most of our members were pretty naive before then.
