The verdict belongs to the people who burned down police precincts, who took over space in CHAZ, who broke windows and shoved Nazis and cops (I repeat myself). Direct action gets the goods.
Going to another protest tonight. One win down means we keep going. They fucking blinked.
From CNN’s Aaron Cooper in Minneapolis A verdict has been reached in the trial of former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin, according to a notice posted on the Hennepin County Court's website.
"A verdict has been reached and will be read between 3:30-4:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 20" (4:30-5:00 p.m. ET), according to the notice.
On the one hand I feel hopeful there's at least one guilty count because they're announcing at the end of the day, which they said they wouldn't want to do for the possibility of riots. On the other hand, wildly gesturing at everything.
My prediction: guilty, but fairly light sentencing.
If he gets off scott free, Minneapolis will burn.
If he gets off scott free, Minneapolis will burn.
I suspect violence in many cities. Certainly many serious injuries. And deaths?
Biden is going to make a statement after the verdict is read...
"Peaceful protest is to be encouraged because that means nothing will fundamentally change. You know the thing, jack."
Chauvin verdict has been reached. Will be read between 3:30 and 4:00 today : Minneapolis
From the sub's other sticky...
Note: Our goal is to keep this space functioning for our community, so if you don't have a history here or in any of our sister subs don't be shocked when your comments are removed and you're banned until the end of the trial.
Burning things down works. Keep them afraid.
big text time for any pacifist libs:
You only get concessions from power under threat of violence it is why the state attempts to maintain a monopoly on violence.
Isn't it super weird how all these people like Twain and Einstein supported socialism? Must be a coincidence!
One of my current scientific heroes is actually a socialist. A pretty cool inventor named Elon Musk.
being able to read well and having critical thinking skills inevitably lead to becoming a socialist
Liberals: Chauvin was jailed and racism is no more 😤
Chuds: Chauvin was jailed and white people are now extinct :doomjak:
The Police: Chauvin was jailed and here I go shooting another unarmed black person! :floppy-parrot:
The BLM protest in Colombus, Ohio is going strong tonight.
Last I checked they were chanting "I smell bacon!" :sicko-beaming:
Unicorn riots feed is beautiful. People laying all that money on the ground. “ But it’s human nature for people to be greedy and shitty” and I’m looking at this beautiful community make sure everything is protected and going where it needs to go, no fucking cops in sight.
I just tried to make a cheeky dunk on the National DSA and it just turned into a struggle session :why-post-this:
I'm three hours into work and not a single chud has said a peep let alone try talking bout the Chavin case. I dipped out yesterday at 3:30 to be sure to avoid their reactions. The silence of the reactionaries truly feels like a just world and this is the direction I wish civilization to move. Mao was right to defend the proletariat of China and deny his ruling class any voice.
I usually try to not post struggle sessions on here but holy shit, today my mom thought Joe Biden was for free healthcare.
Fucking end me. I'm done with boomers. Had a whole argument about how even if I got myself to where Bernie got, how would I have the political capital, fight decades of propaganda, the two party system, corporations, and convince the right wingers? We have talks about how fucked the system is, and now was told that socialism hasn't done anything and that I'm dreaming. After all this time educating her on what socialism is and what it has done for people. Never again. They can die ignorant.
