"Should we interview the impacted communities of color about their feelings on the upcoming verdict?"

they say you can't predict based on timing, but this feels like it has to be guilty on at least one charge. this wasn't enough time to be a hung jury and i pray to all merciful god that they can't possibly unanimously acquit

This is my thought process as well. It's definitely not hung anyway, since they wouldn't say they'd reached a verdict if it was.

It's not about winning arguments and the fact that you see it this way is pretty telling.

But I can tell you that explaining how ridiculous it is that anyone could possible see anything you did as wrong or racist sure isn't going to do it.


Opening her mouth at all inflames the situation because racists are ready to go off no matter what she says.

If you're trying to help people actually figure out their biases you're not giving them that space and it just comes off as you wanting people to tell you that your right. If you want them to gently caress off than you're doing it right but you're too aggro if you're trying to make some sort of learning moment. Nothing wrong with telling people to gently caress off though if that's your goal.

I don't think people are willing to examine their biases in a forum discussion in D&D because it's constantly about dunking on your posting enemies and your ego.

It's hard enough to get people to examine their biases in spaces where they are supposedly doing anti-racism work, let alone in a "I must be right" thunderdome.

I get that people are going to argue with me about this. It still needs to be said.

I'm done talking about this because the verdict is about to be read.

that's a long and exhausting process for everyone involved and doesn't work online with strangers anyway. the only reasonable response to people complaining about maxine waters in this thread on this day is "gently caress off"

Manslaughter would be the worst possible result since nobody will be satisfied.

But surely they have to go for Murder 3 at least, going by the evidence.

That's my thought. Not guilty on murder 2, guilty on murder 3 and manslaughter.

To me, that's an acceptable punishment of this crime.

Conservatives will not be satisfied until every single African American is either a corpse or in chains. The worst possible result I think is easily acquital because it is tantamount to making what we already known to be true a legal precedent: the police can murder anyone at anytime for any reason and face no consequences for doing so.

Yeah but what I'm thinking is there will be riots from both the right and the left if he gets manslaughter. One because he wasn't acquitted and the other (rightfully, really) because it clearly wasn't enough.

I mean acquittal is worse when it comes to any kind of justice yes, but maybe not for the consequences.

Like I'm pretty sure the jurors write their verdict on a piece of paper and then hand it to the judge for him to read out to the room, no one but them knows what's on it right now. Everything going on is just assumptions of the worst case scenario of protests.

Is the theory here that the judge and police have conspired to shake down the jury for the "not guilty" verdict early, for a whole 30 minutes of "preparation" that they would make use of for... reasons? Even though it would possibly invalidate the verdict and need the trial to start over again.
