it’s well-documented that women who are convicted of murdering men get harsher sentences than vice-versa. on the other hand, I don’t think the same is true of white people who are convicted of murdering black people. as long as her sentence isn’t significantly harsher than the average murder conviction, she won’t be…

No maybes about it. 

That Judge is no dummy. She knew if she didn’t give the jury instructions on SYG it would be used to either sue for mistrial or an appeal.  We will hear from Guyger again, I fear-but they won’t be able to use that awful law as a reason.

I was mad as hell too but I’m glad she brought it up, did it right. Leave less room for her defense team to find a sympathtic white Judge and have her conviction thrown out on some technicality.

This might be a really unpopular take but why is it white women cops who shoot unarmed black men are put on trial (this girl and Becky Betty Shelby) while male white cops seem to almost never be charged for the same? Seems like there might be some misogyny involved.

A white woman walked into a Black man’s apartment while he was sitting on the couch eating ice cream watching TV in his underwear and shot him, and I am relieved that she was actually found guilty.

This. I expect she’ll spend far less time behind bars that most of us may expect or wish. I hope I’m wrong, but...

I’m really reconsidering the unpleasant thoughts I sent the Judge yesterday when she included in the jury instructions basically the Stand Your Ground Law.

I’m waiting for the sentencing, until then this is still up in the air.  

Wait, is this a thing? I once had a 15-year-old boy in my summer school class who made me feel uneasy for some reason I couldn’t put my finger on, and he turned out to be a 22-year-old Ukrainian national who’d overstayed his visa and was paying some family to “adopt” him. He’s now in prison on a bunch of charges.

I agree. I think the only reason we’re getting impeachment hearings is because this Ukraine thing not only has solid evidence and is egregious but also because Trump confirmed that he did the thing. Anyone in the Senate that votes against impeachment will have come up with some bullshit for why unconstitutional…

But there’s also a first time for everything?

“He will have the choose whether to break the law or honor his responsibility to the constitution.”

The moderates are jumping on this because the whistle blower complaint, and resulting obstruction, is a clear enough violation for the electorate to process. It will penetrate the thickest of skulls.

They need to stick with this issue as their lead, and make the second point his use of the office to enrich himself. I…

Ah yes, joking that a child you disagree with should be raped. So funny and subversive.

The fact that he thought that might be funny says a lot of disturbing shit about him.

It’s so much worse that mere misogyny. Let me introduce you to Mark B. Spiegel, Managing Member of Stanphyl Capital, in a now-deleted tweet wishing that Jeffrey Epstein had gotten to her:

The Children of the Corn attack was obviously a swipe at Greta’s neuro difference. That’s the unholy depths that these full-grown people have sunk to.

When your family can’t stand you. Good for him, we need allies to call BS.

On Fox News on Monday night, Michael Knowles, a conservative troll and Daily Wire podcast host, described Thunberg as a “mentally ill Swedish child” who is “being exploited by her parents and by the international left.” Then there’s John Nolte of Breitbart, who calls supporters of Thunberg “Gretards” and recently muse…
