Another odd thing is that a law already exists for when your misbehavior or recklessness gets someone killed - manslaughter. Though because manslaughter laws were created more reasonably than felony murder, there are certain restrictions and thresholds for what can be considered manslaughter...

I’m not convinced either, but I think it’s definitely a cause for concern. The quality of law enforcement is likely to decline in time as well as hiring and promotions become more politicized with time.

There is a law that exists in many states that is often called “felony murder.” It means that it counts as deliberate murder when somebody accidentally dies as a result of you committing a felony. In some regard, these kinds of laws make sense, because if you choose to commit a felony that puts...

Yeah, the War on Drugs has militarized the police against citizens for decades - including civil forfeiture, no-knock raids, smelling something for probable cause, and so on. The War on Terror stepped that up.

Chauvin’s trial was a ridiculous political show trial and even a murder charge, much less a conviction, is ridiculous. His conviction should be overturned because overturning it is just and right, all other political considerations aside. It’s also right because the people who railroaded him are...

Many people might say that humility and non-judgementalism are core values of Christianity: two things which leftists are in short supply of.

A junkie succumbing to a fentanyl overdose isn’t a martyr.

Obviously, burning someone else’s flag should be illegal and burning your own flag should be legal, regardless of what kind of flag it is. Though I bet if a Proud Boy burned a BLM flag that he bought and owned, they would figure out some way to charge him with a crime.

Maybe in a sane world, stealing someone’s flag should result in 5 months in prison. Maybe, maybe not. But we don’t live in a sane world, we live in Clown World where for the past several years leftists mobs have been free to burn down cities and assault their political opponents with complete...

True. Police do awful things all the time and unless races of the victim and perpetrator reinforce the desired racial narratives, nobody gives a damn. The left just wants to start their race war and unfortunately, too many people on the right instinctively (perhaps reactively) support police or...

This entire hoopla is about fomenting anti-white hatred. The left don’t give a damn about police brutality, civil rights, or anything like that when there is a white victim.

Though, we do need cops, right? Unless you just want anarchy. You may not want to be one, but hopefully some people want to be cops - we shouldn’t make so many demands on them and hold them to such a high standard that people can’t reasonably meet it, especially with such a low paying high...

If anything, the crowd should be a mitigating factor in Chauvin’s alleged misconduct. It’s reasonable for Chauvin to be distracted when he was surrounded by a hostile crowd that could have become violent. Chauvin can’t ignore a crowd that might pose a danger to him and other police. If there is...

If Chauvin did commit a crime that lead to Floyd’s death, it wasn’t actually causing the death but failing to get medical aid for a sick man. Of course, when somebody is resisting arrest and there is an angry crowd around, it’s going to hard to balance that against claims (he might have been...

Manslaughter doesn’t apply to any unintentional killing, the exact details vary by state and by specific law, but generally the act which lead to the death must itself be illegal or show negligence or indifference to life. Moreover, the forensic data suggests that Floyd’s death was not caused...

Considering the massive forces at work to railroad a guilty verdict, including all of the nation’s media corporations who have colluded to propagandize the public, I think that it’s literally impossible for Chauvin to receive a fair trial.

Yikes, that is horrible but not surprising. That alone should’ve sufficient cause to throw out the conviction, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if the conviction stands. When it comes to politically charged cases, our justice system is a sham.

Looks like they may be illegally blocking or people interfering in traffic. I’m not sure if doing that is a full fledged riot, but any law that you break while you’re brandishing a gun probably becomes a lot worse. Though in theory carrying a gun during a protest shouldn’t be illegal, I can’t...

Yes, I think that it’s safe to call a protest a riot when they start assaulting people, stealing or damaging property, preventing people from legally moving, or otherwise breaking the law. Such illegal activity should be stopped by the police, but when the police refuse to protect citizens from...

Kids of single mothers and/or from broken homes are far easier to indoctrinate. With only the mom around, and maybe not such a good one at that, the state and the media step in to fill the vacuum. That happens across the USA with families of all races, but inner city blacks have such...
