| This Trial Was a Disgrace |
| 2021-04-23 |
| [Townhall] I don't pretend to know if Derek Chauvin is guilty in the objective sense – Judge Mom, a conservative who sent a lot of people to jail as a prosecutor before doing it from the bench, made a convincing argument to me for a murder conviction soon after the incident – but I do know one thing. This trial was a travesty, a kangaroo court, and as a country, we should be ashamed of ourselves. Judge Mom is the author's mom, I suppose. This is not to argue whether he is innocent or guilty. I don't know. There were arguments both ways, and compelling evidence for both points of view. There was powerful evidence for his guilt. Say what you want about that videotape, but it's solid evidence. And there was powerful evidence for his innocence – George Floyd was clearly in mid-overdose and, after all, fentanyl does have the side effect of killing you. That's solid evidence too. This was no slam-dunk. A fair trial required careful thought and sober deliberations. And it required a process where neutral citizens could act as jurors to sort it out try to find the truth based on the evidence and the law, and only that. It required a process free of fear and intimidation. But let's not pretend we got that here. It's Kurt. Don't miss the rest of it.

| #10 What I find interesting is the blacks I've seen interviewed that think there is a genocide against them by cops/white supremicists. When there reality is those cops are trying to stop blacks from killing each other. I remember a lot of areas regretting their defund the police movements because of crime spikes, but they seem to have gone silent now. |

| #9 Black murder rate goes up once again And it will be blamed on Racism by the police. |

| #8 Itbwill get to the point where a white police officer will refuse to arrest, pursue or even challenge a POC. Yes, poor black people will suffer the most as they are victimized by other blacks. But all police officers have one primary goal every day: self preservation. This includes not being arrested for doing something. Ifvthey do nothing, they can't be charged. |

| #7 Black murder rate goes up once again as police take a hands off approach in "urban" areas. Ought to good for at least another 1000 black on black murders/year. Other races and their businesses leave, because "racism". |

| #6 You see the old Democratic Klan practices haven't changed one bit. The players may have changed but the game plan is the same. |

| #5 Less policing where more is needed. See "Baltimore". |

| #4 Appeasement and intimidation always, always, get more of the same, and more of it as the tactics is used by others. All we have done is allow far too great a punishment, if any is warranted, and told law enforcement to watch their back everytime you encounter a POC suspect and are considering an arrest. How does this frame future enforcement, and how does this set the attitude of the growing number of tribal savages in our inner cities? In what fairy-tale does this end well? |

| #3 I predict a long drawn out appeal process with a Mistrial Declared after the 2022 or 2024 election. IF we are ever allowed another free and honest election. |

| #2 The goal was to replace rule of law with "social justice." To replace the Constitution with Race Communism. |

| #1 I think the goal is to make white people as cynical about the justice system as POCs are. Equity! |
