#1 Like a bad imitation of a Tom Wolfe novel

What a joke this nation is becoming. A sad, sick joke

#2 ...Sadly, I am under no illusions for this. The trial, verdict, and all the other impedimenta could be overturned, and the Feds will be waiting to bust Chauvin on whatever civil rights charges they can come up with. He's not got any chance of avoiding anything.

I am guessing most of us feel the conviction was
NOT BASED ON EVIDENCE.

But preordained to avoid a riot, promote a political agebda and to appease a media incited Black community seeking blood for a drug dealer caught that swallowed his dope trying to avoid prison.

#4 jurors are not the only people afraid of 'peaceful' riots. Chief justice roberts is too.

#5 This is literally mob rule. They've taken over our politics, intimidated voters and captured election officials, cowed our judges, ensured our media and even our president repeat their Big Lies about "systemic racism" and "white supremacy,"

When will decent, intelligent, non-masochistic Americans stop being doormats and start beating back this mob?

#6 #3 I am guessing most of us feel the conviction was
NOT BASED ON EVIDENCE.

Not evidence or logic, either.

Riddle me this: How can a man on this earth possibly be guilty, at one and the same time, of unintentionally killing AND intentional killing?

Not even the Stalinist show trials perpetrated such an idiocy as charging their class enemies with both manslaughter and murder.

But an American court just convicted a man of these two mutually-exclusive charges.

The Inquisition was more scrupulous. Medieval trial by ordeal had more logic.

We are the world's laughingstock now.

#7 It's Wakandan justice. Dawning slowly in America. How is this a juror and the trial not a mistrial?

#8 For some reason Problematic doesn't seem to quite fit Lying to Fix a Political Show Trial.

#9 Chauvin's attorney filed for a new trial today citing the various problems noted above but not the issue of juror 52 or US Rep Waters.

#10 ^ including the total absurdity of trying a man on two mutually-exclusive counts?

#11 It was not a trial so much as a human sacrifice. Sorry, dude. It's your turn in the volcano.

#12 Lady Ann Coulter said it best:

"In the darkest days of Jim Crow, the entire country never ganged up on a single individual like this.

"Please, gods of wokeness, we ask that his human sacrifice be acceptable! Throw another virgin into the volcano."
