Remember that one of the charges had been dropped. In fact, initially there was talk that the charges may well have been about to be reduced. But the lawyers lobbied brilliantly and got the most severe charges they could get. To me, the charges were too lenient but that's the law and it is always intended to protect those f___________g cops.

I’ll be shocked if the city doesn’t burn tonight anyway.

This is a remarkable video by Ami Horowitz:

https://twitter.com/AmiHorowitz/status/ ... 02441?s=20

The Minneapolis folks say that they don’t care if the city burns down and that most whites people are white supremists. They also think “1,000’s of unarmed blacks” were killed by cops last year. The correct number? 18.

Most Fanlax libs are similarly uninformed.

From tv, it looks like there will still be looting tonight. The mob wants blood.

Maxine Waters wants calm.

Jk, :lol: she’ll be good with looting regardless of jury verdict.

Al Sharpton and Jesse are being thanked at the podium. Wonder if Budweiser will give Jesse more territory.
George Floyd died from Fennie!

No sir!. Reports of George Floyd's death at the hands of Chauvin are lies. He is alive and well and living off the fat of the Land. Please do not believe in the FAKE NEWS!

I, for one, am informed by the wisdom that Petey blesses us with in his posts on here:

1. Gilead is a buy at $84 (closed at $66 today). Remdesivir!

2. Trump is going to crush Biden. Schadenfreude!

3. Biden will never make it to inauguration day.

4. George Floyd's death was unrelated to the cop's knee.

5. The virus is overblown and is going away.

It is quite a record of prognostication.

I wonder if Gait knows how many unarmed blacks were killed by police last year (even after I posted the number)? I think he still thinks it’s in the 1,000’s.

Did you contribute to Matthew Dolloff’s bail? Five hundred G’s isn’t chump change. Did Kamala urge her supporters to bail out the murderer?

52 week high is $85! Hopefully Petey made 1.19% on the trade if he hit it just right!

Sounds like some folks are kinda unhappy there’s no rioting and looting tonight. I’ll pass a note to Tucker later on. 😔

Guilty verdicts actually take much longer. Especially when you have (as here) multiple charges that have to be sifted through.

A hung jury only comes after the (almost) guilty verdict would have been reached.

So there's not probably not going to be any tea leaves for reading for many more days of deliberations.


Colorado is so effed. An actual scumbag murderer videotaped for all the world to see walks free without so much as an ankle monitor. e

https://denvergazette.com/news/courts/matthewe, on -dolloff-man-who-allegedly-fatally-shot-protestor-is-now-free-to-roam-without-a/article_05632abe-8e56-11eb-8c44-c30aed0f130c.html
I saw the video and the still image “grabs” and read the coverage.

Doesn't appear cut-and-dried either way. On one hand the shooter’s licensing and therefore training is questionable, and on the other hand the “victim” seems like he was going to come to a bad end acting the way he was.

Cases like these is why we have trials.
Agreed, for all we know the shooter's a bad guy...Petey says so, and it actually may be the case...but the video certainly shows the guy shot to be the violent antagonist...and also clearly not exactly a sweetheart...so, not at exactly slam dunk!

Well, let's just say that the case was so clear that "a 3rd grader could have argued this case" and SHOULD win...but let's imagine for a moment that there was no video and it was just the 8 witnesses to the crime versus the testimony of the 4 cops...

But heck, let's at least acknowledge that we haven't seen any of these cases go down this way before, even with video...it's a potential pivot point to have the police brass come out so strongly against the former cop.

And I think it's actually fair to say that the prosecution handled the case pretty much flawlessly. The "this isn't an anti-police case, it's a pro-police case" posture was also masterful...but only possible because the police brass were with them.

Here's a fuller picture of the Keltner/Dolloff shooting in Denver.

The patriot/victim guy clearly provoked the encounter -- "I'm going to eff you up" he says to the news camera man as he starts the second fight. He also hit the security guard in the face and maced him.

Unfortunately the patriot/victim guy didn't know that the guy he was attacking had a gun. Oops.

Anyone's guess what a trial outcome might be.

P.S. to Petey: Could you send me the address of your trailer park in FL? I want to send a case of STFU ale to you and your MAGA bros.

The upcoming trial of the other officers will be much more interesting and telling.

Assume Chauvin is just a very bad rogue apple who did something so egregious and unjustified that (so long as it is caught on tape) it is a no-brainer conviction.

Much more interesting question as to why the other officers didn't see the obvious and do something about it. What were they thinking?
