or the 12 jurors who heard what the judge allowed them to hear , you mean.....
What evidence was not allowed in court that you think was so damning?
Do you believe the judge not allowing the prosecution to refer to the killed and injured as “victims” influenced the jury? Perhaps biased them to some degree?Anyway facepollution I enjoyed our correspondence. Be safe, well and happy!
Oh and this is exactly the answer to your question above. This is the left leveraging this tragedy to their own benefit... viewing every thing through the lens of race, no matter how great the pains are to get there.
And while you're at it, make sure you give away all of your possessions to minorities and resign the job you have. Otherwise you just recognize your white privilege but you're too cowardly to do anything about it. Just keep gnashing your teeth and pointing your finger while you sit on the sideline like a self righteous pussy.
I find it odd that you assume I wanted a guilty verdict to make up for historic racial disparity. That would be absurd. I have actually never weighed in on the verdict itself. My position is that there is racial disparity within the criminal justice system. Rittenhouse benefited from being White. You, however, do not see race playing a part.
So I find it odd that you read something I wrote and interpreted exactly the opposite from the way in which I wrote it. Learn to read for comprehension.
And no, I don't see how race played a part in a trial involving, basically, 4 white people.
What an odd dichotomy. You did not ask me my opinion on the verdict. Only if it applied to historic racial disparity or not.
Do you think that the defendant was proven to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?Want all this to change then get the gun, carry, type laws changed.The name calling makes people look no better than the causes you’re arguing about.0 -

I'm not debating how Rittenhouse shooting them was considered self defense, I'm curious as to why the judge allowed the deceased to be referred to as rioters and looters, but not victims.
If they were indeed proven to have been rioting & looting, it makes sense, but if not, then it is a double standard.
It's a curious decision for the judge to make when they could have simply referred to those who were shot by their last names.0 -

Do you think that the defendant was proven to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?
So if you don't think the prosecution proved its case, then why would this case be used to highlight racial disparity in the justice system? You yourself are saying the jury came back with the correct verdict
You have represented no evidence that the court was biased. Share it with us and then explain why the judge wasn't biased for the white victims, or the white prosecutor.
Make your case.
And all of this prevented even one juror from thinking he was guilty, even the POC who was on the randomly selected jury...
yhe defense of the iPad video.
These all seem like major stretches here. I think you could make the argument that it was a stretch to bring this up as a prosecutable case to start. There's an argument that it was made due to political pressure. Do I have proof of that? Nope. But that's the same standard as I'm reading here about how he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, were it not for the judge.
BTW, this is the Asian food joke... This is a right wing joke? Really? It's a reference to the cargo from Asia stacked up in LB. Again, huge stretches here.
I hope the Asian food isn't coming... isn't on one of those boats from Long Beach Harbor,"
It seemed to be pretty in line with the right’s incessant blaming Biden and his communist agenda being behind the cargo sho[s and supply chain issues. That you can conveniently dispute that is what makes it a dog whistle.
There’s also his wording when he explained the hat draw for the jury selection and “the blacks” “THE black”.He seemed more sympathetic to one side’s perceived agenda over another’s.0 -
I heard some discussion this weekend about how the defense had tried to get the gun charge dropped prior to the trial. That the judge waited until midway through the trial to drop it does seem very prejudicial now.

I don't know if they were referred to with the labels in question, I didn't watch the trial.
Regardless, on its face, the decision to disallow the label "victim" while at the same time allowing those other labels in the absence of the three men having been convicted of those crimes strikes me as odd, to say the least.

He dropped the charge last Monday, shortly before the closing arguments. It wasn't mid trial

White supremacists are loathsome but are not automatically guilty of crimes either. I'm not connecting how that is relevant to the case, tbh. He wasn't accused of a hate crime.0

Speaking of this stupid white supremacy hand gesture, are you guys familiar with the Latino man that lost his job as a truck driver for having this fingers in that position? He was stuck in traffic during a George Floyd protest (this was at the height of those protests). Someone took a picture of him, and his company fired him. Yep, a Latino man lost his job because they think he might be a white supremacist.
