Even if Rittenhouse didnāt face the prospect of getting defamation settlements heās set for life now. C-pac, NRA and GOP conference appearances all on the way. Doesnāt take an idiot to grift the right, if he has half a brain heāll fill his boots

Not a rascist country.
Whatever that is?
Justice for Ahmaud!
Having watched bits and pieces of this trial, I had thought that these white bubbas would get off with this. Now to be fair, I would have given Bryan some leeway. Anyway, Iām very happy that this young black manās killing will not pass by.
The jury it should be noted was made up of 11 white and 1 black person.
Maybe there is some fragile hope for the good ol USA

It was a blatant a racist murder as youāll see. It was even more obvious than the George Floyd case

Thatās true but you could fill a whole thread on that one in a few hours

Theres no indication that George Floyds murder had anything to do with his race. It was just thuggery.
Yeah, I wouldnt disagree with that either.
The vast majority of people in the US that followed this trial would agree with the verdict.
There are people on this forum who would demand statistics to back that claim up.
Set up a poll there.
You made the claim. Maybe you should set up the poll to see how many posters here believe you. Not that the results of that would be worth a hatfull of shite anyway.
Iāll go with the representative anecdotal sample of people Iāve spoken to here, admittedly a lot of headcases among them but by and large not TFK level of headcase.
Fair enough. Iāll apply that standard going foward

What made you think theyād get away with it it was very straightforward.
Maybe most people are decent, and the drummed up race war doesnāt actually exist outside of twitter and those who profit from it. Open your mind to some education from people on the ground there.
Maybe Iām just pessimistic with regards to US ājusticeā and law. The presentation of lawful arrest and self defence evidence to a majority white jury seemed to provide the leeway to acquit them in a society I perceive to be racist. Iām very happy to be proven wrong.
Thereās always gonna be a defence presented even if paper thin.
Itās far from an infallible system though. If there wasnāt video evidence of this, or of Rittenhouse itās likely the wrong verdict could have been reached in both cases. Camera doesnāt lie thankfully.
