The Political Thread

That's more of a New York / Pennsylvania / Michigan thing. I'm sure you see in the papers when a Trooper gets arrested. There is a reason for that. Peace out yall I'm going to work now . Praying for the day @Dakstang decided to fly down Interstate 75! I'm waiting Beard-O!

idk. My cousin use to work for Bibb, and these officer friends he had come over for his son’s birthday one year, seemed to be the type who believes in this

My radar detector ain't failed me yet. This would be Swamps after he fails to catch me.

Jurors are now deliberating on the Arbery case, Swamps. Just saw on Twitter

This is a thing that's also happening.

All THREE found guilty

Kyle Rittenhouse: The judicial system is broken and needs to be fixed.

Ahmaud Arbery: That is what was supposed to happen. They made the right call.

Does the judicial system work or not? Does it only work when it goes the way you want it?

Someone explain it to me. Hell, mansplain it to me if you have to. You can't because you let your feelings get in the way. Not everyone, but a good 90% of people let their feelings rule.

I am also not calling anyone in specific out. I've posed this question elsewhere as well.

What I'm confused by this post - is do you disagree with the Ahmaud Arbery verdict? This is global news, and its pretty clear cut - it was a modern day lynching.

I am not agreeing or disagreeing with either point. Just the observation I have made by 90% of people.

I don't understand the observation or comparison though.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

The judicial system is broken. Just because one jury gets a verdict correct doesn't mean the system is automatically fixed.

 

[Chris]

A system can still be broken and not get everything 100% wrong though, its not a binary kinda thing That's why if you care you look at each case and decide for yourself if you think it was the right or wrong decision, you don't just blanket accept that every court decision is right or wrong.

You can think the courts got it right in both cases, you can think they got both wrong or you can think one decision was right and the other was wrong, this is America and we can think for ourselves still lmao

 

[Swamps]

I don't understand the observation or comparison though.

Just exactly how do you not see what he is saying? If you need me to break it down,, I will. Also, you can see, I agreed with both outcomes.

 

[Smart Marx]

People are emotional creatures. When it works the way they want it to it did what it was supposed to and when it goes the other way, it's broken.

As for the "system" itself, if you're talking about the verdicts themselves, not sure what could be fixed about it. You're just tried before your peers.

Instructed to weigh all the evidence presented before them, from the prosecution's case, to the defense and need to convict beyond reasonable doubt.

It may not be perfect, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's better to let some go on doubt then to lock up innocent people.




I think these guys, who are comedians, do a good job dissecting the differences between the cases and the reactions to them. It just came out, too.

That redheaded man, while he 100% deserves it, can be seen just realizing his whole life is over as they read guilty on all 5 counts, one after the other.

I'm not up for debating whether the system is broken or not but my main point is it's 100% logical that someone can think the system is broken yet still agree with some of the outcomes lol it would be highly improbable that you'd think ZERO court cases are right even if you think the system is overall broken in some way
