It got fucked up because the Jury clearly felt sympathy for the defendants and bought into that whole “government tyranny” horseshit espoused by the Bundy fuckwits.

Correction: As this case has just proved, it’s not terrorism if you are white.

They’d be dead by now.

Apparently one of the jurors thought another juror may have had “bias”in the case because he used to work for the BLM, so he told the judge. The ex-BLM juror got dismissed and a new Philpot-approved juror took his place.

They were acquitted of the fucking weapons charge! (Carrying a weapon on federal property or something.) If they couldn’t secure a conviction on that with the MOUNTAIN of social media evidence of them carrying and shooting weapons, they couldn’t convict of anything I’m sure.

Me too. The jury being 100% white probably didn’t help matters.

I can’t even imagine what they were thinking with this. This is exactly the kind of case where it’s actually a good idea to make an example of the criminals to warn others off. Most of the time when they do that it’s crime linked to poverty, and it’s a load bullshit that isn’t going to help. In this case, there is…

Wow. If this isn’t one of the best illustrations of white privilege, I don’t know what is. Cases like this are why I’m beyond done with white people who lecture black people about our “culture” or about how we need to “just listen to police officers” and “stop breaking the law.” FUCK people who say that when shit…

HOW??!!?!!?

That argument about her emails being “captured” is absurd. I cannot believe someone would bring it up on a tech blog.

So, you’re talking about the 30,000 personal mails that were deleted? Well, that’s a whole other kind of mess. When the investigation started, those emails existed. And, she was under no obligation whatsoever to provide actual personal communications.

The good news is that those White folks can go back to being ironically/casually/unintentionally/just sayin’/only asking questions/actually racist after the election and all will be right with their world.

He isn’t trying to play to black voters. He is pretending to play to black voters so white voters that he has horrified with his open racism will give him a second chance - “oh look, maybe Donald isn’t a raging racist asshole after all, I guess I can vote for him without having a guilty conscience.”

Anything that comes after “Great quote from Hitler!” is probably not that great at all. It also didn’t help that she described him as “profound” and how we should listen closely.

Well, if it is “Do you want more schnaps” or., “ I’d like to paint those mountains”, not wrong (but why quote Hitler on that?)

Sounds like the lack of context in the initial post is the problem.

It was a joke. Kid wrote a letter pretending to be the ghost of a dead man who was born in 1900.

I think you hit a nerve with this one. There seems to always be the one coworker that is subtle and manipulative. Example: they say little things to pick at you, then ask “is something wrong?” and if you confront them on it, they play ignorant thus casting insanity on you making you look like a crazy paranoid at the…
