BIG HEADLINE posted:Here's a story/interview with Corey Long, the 'flamethrower' guy in C-Ville, giving context to the image: http://www.theroot.com/interview-how-corey-long-fought-white-supremacy-with-f-1797831277 He brings up a good point, about why all those dipshits stood around taking pictures of Nazis beating up Harris instead of defending him. Also he confirms he was defending the old man from the Nazis.  Azhais posted:As if any jury knows about that, and any lawyer that brings it up gets hit with jury tampering I'm just asking if they could angle for a defense of "it was right to tear down the statue in spite of our laws because the statue is bad." I presume not, and if so I can't imagine they're not going to be prosecuted for it.

Pollyanna posted:Hey Prester Jane. What do we do now? Get real serious about organizing. Join your local Antifa. Take a long hard look at your situation and decide whether a firearm (and the associated hassle of proper training and practice that goes with it, remember that pistol skills deteriorate quickly and must be maintained if you intend to actually use a pistol under pressure) is a reasonable investment at this point. If you are a targeted minority (like trans or Muslim) take extra safety precautions.

Has a former President ever come out and outright condemned the actions of the sitting PoTUS? Because I would love if Carter, the Bushes, Clinton and Obama came out and released a joint statement about this. Yes I stole this idea from Chris Evans of all people.

Who is Carl Bernstein and should anyththing he says be taken at face value? I don't want to get excited for nothing. Edit: I notice that his tweet was from BEFORE Trump's tirade. So if there's truth in it then it can only have gotten much more serious.

I presume not, and if so I can't imagine they're not going to be prosecuted for it. Technically the AG could choose not to prosecute, probably depends on how the overall reaction goes. On the jury tampering front the Supreme Court has upheld that it's allowed, but has been really lax on all of the attempts to squelch it from the other side (namely judges holding lawyers in contempt for even alluding to it), and a while back some guy got arrested for jury tampering just for being across the street from the court house handing out informational pamphlets on the topic. So, pretty bad news. On the plus side bringing it up is a good way to never get selected for jury duty.

Unless the gun manufacturer - like say Remington, fucks up and makes a gun that fires without the trigger being pulled. And still has the defect guns circulating and not telling anyone to avoid bad publicity.

Lightning Knight posted:He brings up a good point, about why all those dipshits stood around taking pictures of Nazis beating up Harris instead of defending him. Climate Activists have been working a 'Necessity' defense, which seems (to my untrained understanding) to be a subset of Jury Nullification. It's mostly intended as defense against terror charges after committing an act of vandalism to kill the Black Snake; I think it was successfully employed in Kalamazoo at one point. I did a quick google search, this turned up: https://climatedefenseproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/CDP-ClimateNecessityOutcomes-Feb-8-2017.pdf Can't imagine any of that applying to the destruction of something explicitly symbolic.
