    I want to commend babayaga, immortal13, etc. on the ruining of this thread. They went above and beyond with their cultural/political victim complex and manufactured a threadjacking where most reasonable people wouldn't have thought it possible. Bravo.

    I apologize for the misattributed response.

    However I still want to know who this Governor is that is going to pardon two murderers. And using Arapaio and Manafort as examples, who last I checked were not convicted murderers, is silly. And very chicken little.

    Be Less Gloomy.

     

    5% of the country is addicted to being outraged online. Because no one really is spreading disinformation or arguing about this case, classic fallback to hysterics and conspiracy theories. Everything no matter the result always means:

    there's a whole other conversation to be had about the bail system in this country.

    i believe in restraining orders, but not in locking people up before found guilty of anything.

    We had this discussion on another thread about the intent of bail. I'm sort of "three strikes" guy on it. You screw up once, low bail. You're a habitual offender, reconsider. Have to balance criminals' rights with the communities' rights.

    Pretty sure a person that ignores the laws about domestic violence might not be super intimidated by another piece of paper.

    It is a difficult issue. Just because the guy is a racist POS doesn't mean he intentionally ran over a bunch of people. He's obviously not the local Mensa chapter president so maybe he thought driving through a parade was an efficient escape route. The one thing we know is everyone is suddenly switching opinions about these kinds of things.

    That dude didn't slow down or use his horn to let people get out of the way. He was going full speed through those people like he was playing GTA. It was completely intentional to do the most damage he could. Don't need social media posts to confirm that, give him the electric chair and be done with it.

    I don't disagree (although I oppose the DP).

    I was told recently you can't hold someone's social media posts against them in a murder case.  I mean, you can mention them, but they aren't part of "premeditation"

    Agreed. Larry getting comeuppance for being Larry always delivers. That's his genius - making 10' of gold out of taking a hotel umbrella.

    His record I get, I’m talking about the rap stuff or any video similar to KR where he said something months prior. If anything, I would think it’s easier to argue that rap doesn’t really show intent, it’s entertainment. I’m honestly all for it being relevant, just like KR’s should have been IMO. I’m just really curious since it’s the same state if the same rules will be applied. Something tells me it won’t. 
     

    I think the initial assessment that he was fleeing a scene of a crime and chose the worst route possible seems the most plausible. If he was really out to kill whitey he blew past a lot of them before he got to a point where he didn’t have any room to get past people anymore. He even slowed down behind the band before he started rolling over people. It’s that or he really had it out for white marching bands and dancing groups specifically because he bypassed a lot of other people.  

    Ask Dave Chapelle about the "entertainment" exception. LOL.

    I can see both sides, but as you demonstrate it seems like an obvious way to inject bias into a finding of fact not directly germane to the facts of a particular case.

    So I was going to ask this in the Waukesha thread in DT but figured it would turn into a shit show. How will the Waukesha guy’s anti-white rap stuff be admissible if KR’s I want to shoot looters video wasn’t? Not trolling, I’m genuinely curious on the law side since I still don’t get how KR’s video wasn’t relevant. 

    (Non-lawyer randomly speculating)

    I've always wondered about this. I get that a person' previous actions do not necessarily mean they acted unlawfully in a subsequent situation. I know if I was a juror - and this is where the lawyers will yell at me - I would would want to know if a person has a long history of violence or a squeaky clean record. But I get the inherent bias. 
     

    Specifically with the Waukegan situation, might be critical to establish motive since there is really no rational explanation for driving through a crowd (outside of a clear explanation).
