#2 Branco's take on day six: Money quote:

The testimony of Dr. Langenfeld has followed what has become a common pattern in this case. The (carefully prepared?) state’s witness is carefully questioned by the state to illicit headline worthy quotes, but it’s ultimately revealed on cross-examination that those quoted opinions were based on extremely limited information, lacked context of the full circumstances, and were gutted on cross-examination as a result.

This pattern actually raises a very interesting, and alarming, public policy danger, based on the media’s coverage of this case. From what I’ve seen of media coverage, which for me occurs only when the case recesses during the day and the talking heads pop up during the break, is that the media effectively only covers the direct questioning of the state’s witnesses. As a result, the public only hears the state’s version of the facts.

Well, just like if you only hear one side of any argument, it’s natural for the public to conclude that the state is KILLING IT!!!! in this trial, and that it’s SUPER OBVIOUS!!!! that Chauvin is a RACIST POLICE MURDERER!!!! You NAZI!!!!

#4 Floyd's was a 'victimless crime'...no? Officer Chauvin's pending conviction (for whatever prescribed criminal act involving death) will calm and asswage the anger of the chanting tribal hordes. Some of them do vote you know and they can wreck uncontrollable havoc if not appeased. Officer Chauvin has already been convicted by he media and victim community. The courtroom imprimatur is pending. Notice how the term "officer Chauvin" is used almost as infrequently as the term 'fair trial'.

Meanwhile, the 34 shot in Chicago over the Easter Holdiday are selectively forgotten. 'Selective enforcement of the law' requires selective memory. Coincidently, Hunter Biden cannot remember the laptop either. You know the rest of the story.

Sadly, this is no longer America. It is now something else entirely. New songs will be sung, new flags will fly. Whatever it is, it has yet to be named, but surely will be.

They can still vote, can't they?

Election Day today in Chicago, so yes.

It takes years and years to get the deceased off the voter rolls there.

#9 Cities will be on fire if Chauvin is not sentenced to death.
Yes, he is not charged with a capital crime, and Minnesota may not even have a death penalty. It doesn't matter.Cities will burn.

#11 Cartridge box is inching closer each day as the sinews of American culture and society are torn apart by the Marxist community organizers. The selective reporting reflects a purposeful strategy of progressive propaganda through the use of partial truth. Effectively lies but defensible if contested as accurate if incomplete. Lawyer tricks....

#12 Cities will be on fire no matter what - conviction or acquittal, Death penalty or slap on the wrist.

If Chauvin is hung, the electrocuted, then torn apart by rampaging BLM activists on prime time TV; cities will still burn.

#13 Yes: they'll Burn-Loot-Murder regardless of the verdict.

So do the right thing, Members of the Jury, and acquit this man who has not been proved guilty by anything even remotely approaching a preponderance of evidence.

In the immortal words of Johnny Cochrane:
"George be hoopin' sh!t? You must acquit!"

#14 Knee on the shoulderblade and not on the neck was unexpected and there should be an investigation as to why this was info not released earlier. That combined with the lethal doses of a number of things in his blood make this a pretty clear cut case and yet they let cities across the nation burn because of their inaction.
