THANKS, JURORS! YOU’RE SAFE NOW. WE AREN’T.

THANKS, JURORS! YOU’RE SAFE NOW. WE AREN’T. - Ann Coulter

There wasn’t this much triumphalism when Ted Bundy was convicted! He murdered 30 women, escaped from jail twice, and killed again before finally being brought to trial. We didn’t have hours of gloating after they got the Green River Killer, and it took 20 years to catch him.

Maybe we’ve gotten less decorous in the past few decades. But how about celebrating the conviction of a gangbanger who killed an 8-year-old girl in a drive-by? Would the media be as giddy about that?
Not likely. Wild celebrations are in order only for the railroading of a cop.

The prosecutors must feel great! All it took was threatening the jurors with riots and personal destruction to get the verdict they wanted. Real Ciceros, these guys.
...

The day before Chauvin’s case went to the jury, a defense witness — a witness! — had his former home in California vandalized with pigs’ blood and a pig’s head.
...

To the unwitting citizens of Minnesota who will soon have their lives snuffed out, just remember: The jurors were worried about their own personal security. It was your life or theirs, and they decided the better part of valor was to sacrifice yours.

Their motto: I regret that I have only dozens of other people’s lives to give for my virtue.​

Personally I am not justifying in any way when cops kill innocent unarmed people.


But when cops defending themselves from knife attack or chasing a suspect with a gun I think they have full right to use deadly force.


And if the outcome of such chase is death of the suspect, I believe that even death of one thug make a world slightly better place to live.


But I certainly do not believe that dropping the gun during the chase makes a thug innocent after he had been shot.


So I solute to these police officers who done their job well.

Does anyone know what the correct charge is for "excessive use of force" in detaining a criminal?

I am curious what Chauvin actually should have been charged with. Battery?

It is unfair to attack the jury because you don’t like the verdict.

Coulter doesn’t know the motivation for voting to convict and unless they say otherwise, I’m going to believe the jury heard the evidence and thought him guilty.

peace to you

And nobody knows the motivation why that man gave me his wallet, so I unless he tells me otherwise, I am going to believe that the gun in my hand had no influence on his decision and he just saw that I had a greater need for the money than he did.

 

[canadyjd]

Maybe I missed it, but wren’t a lot of folks predicting Minnesota would burn with riots no matter what the verdict was?

I haven’t heard of any rioting since the verdict, only celebrations.

Maybe we are safe after all.

peace to you

No, no jury is above reproach, they are and should be criticized. Unintentional second degree murder? Really?:

609.19 MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.
Subdivision 1.Intentional murder; drive-by shootings.

Whoever does either of the following is guilty of murder in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 40 years:

(1) causes the death of a human being with intent to effect the death of that person or another, but without premeditation; or

(2) causes the death of a human being while committing or attempting to commit a drive-by shooting in violation of section 609.66, subdivision 1e, under circumstances other than those described in section 609.185, paragraph (a), clause (3).

Subd. 2.Unintentional murders.

Whoever does either of the following is guilty of unintentional murder in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 40 years:

(1) causes the death of a human being, without intent to effect the death of any person, while committing or attempting to commit a felony offense other than criminal sexual conduct in the first or second degree with force or violence or a drive-by shooting; or

(2) causes the death of a human being without intent to effect the death of any person, while intentionally inflicting or attempting to inflict bodily harm upon the victim, when the perpetrator is restrained under an order for protection and the victim is a person designated to receive protection under the order. As used in this clause, "order for protection" includes an order for protection issued under chapter 518B; a harassment restraining order issued under section 609.748; a court order setting conditions of pretrial release or conditions of a criminal sentence or juvenile court disposition; a restraining order issued in a marriage dissolution action; and any order issued by a court of another state or of the United States that is similar to any of these orders.

there was no order of protection involved and Chauvin wasn't committing a felony offense. Railroad, and this jury went through three weeks of testimony in ten hours. Railroad.

I feel sorry for you, Aaron. You cannot accept the idea that the jurors looked at the facts and determined Derek Chauvin is guilty. Instead, you now lash out at the jurors for not doing what you wanted them to do.
You won't heed my advice, but I suggest you turn off all news for two weeks and wean yourself off your addiction. You will come out physically, emotionally and spiritually more healthy.

Right now, you cannot see clearly. Take a break.

Superior virtue duly noted.

Question: Are witness intimidation and jury tampering illegal?

Why?
