Libs will use this to say BLM protestors should go back to brunch instead of continuing to confront the cops in 3.....2.....1.....
Lol you won so stop doing what you’re doing, fuck that keep pushing
Exactly. When the verdict was announced I felt sick to my stomach thinking about how the dems across all levels of government will use this moment to crack down on protests because “it’s just thugs and antifa looting now”
And when they do, tell them that the system was so broken that it required months of nationwide rioting and a year of the justice system sitting on their hands to call a murderer what he is
Remember, he wasn't charged until people burnt down a police station.
Facts! It took a literal police station burning down to achieve this. How much effort it takes to get anything even remotely decent to happen is exactly how they wear us down.
my activist friends got married at the burnt down police station
:fidel-cool:
It's almost like the threat of violence in response to state-sanctioned violence works :thonk:
David Griscom was just talking about this on the Left Reckoning YouTube channel.
Not generally. They absolutely don’t support the protest. If I had a dollar for every lib friend or person I’ve seen online that was like “I don’t think the police are right but the blm are hurting their own community! The property owners don’t deserve this to happen”
They just want to appropriate their iconography for social media, that’s not support
Only as long as it is peaceful and ineffective. Any real radical protesting involving anything other than sitting on the ground and chanting results in tutting and eyerolling.
In the early days when the BLM protests were full of liberals a whole bunch of comrades were literally being grabbed by dumbass liberals and handed over to the cops too. It was vile and nasty. They tried to coopt and deradicalise it really hard.
Straight to fucking jail. That scene of him getting cuffed and being taken straight to jail, you love to see it folks
I hope he gets exactly what he deserves and nothing less in prison. I'm sure there are plenty of people in there who know him well.
The guards are chuds as well. Some of them might see him as a martyr and do what they can to make him feel good.
his ass might fucking die of covid before he event gets a sentence
First time I don’t want some ghoul to die of COVID. Want him to live the while rest of his life in a cell
choking to death on his own lungs would be a fittingly poetic end though
Ya but I'd prefer if it's at the end of his life from pneumonia or some shit. Death now letting him off way too easy.
I mean, I don't really care either way, having one less capitalist murder-pig is the important part
I wonder what kind of special treatment he'll get behind bars? You know white supremacists out there will make sure he always has money on his books.
Absolutely, there should be away to see that people in jail for particularly heinous shit can’t get perks like that
I'd imagine he's going to be nowhere near general population, probably some cell block that houses killer cops or people on good behavior. I doubt they'd put him into solitary segregation.
The communist party in Birmingham Alabama would celebrate when investigations, indictment and guilty verdicts would get passed down on fascist vigilantes; just don't make the mistake of thinking we'll ever have full blown justice from this system.
Wait... we have a communist party? What's membership numbers looking like?
It’s nice to have something half ass decent to happen for fucking once
You are allowed to appreciate when bad things happen to evil people, even though it happens through unjust institutions.
Ultimately this won't have much of a meaningful effect on racial justice in the world or any cause worth fighting for. However, victories are not something leftists commonly get to enjoy in the 21st century, so fuck it. Piggy gets fucked, take a little celebration for the day
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.
Not trying to downplay this case but isn't it kinda bonkers just how televised this entire case has been? Like, this is a real life tv show. Who fucking even cares this much about this case when we've had like a dozen police murders in the past month alone. Like wtf? Am i just missing something?
Don't you see! If he's found guilty that means the system works!
This. It's being put on blast to make the protestors look bad. That way the system can dust it's hands off and say, welp justice was served 😤
Yeah of course and I don't want to downplay that. But like, it kinda loses a lot of it when there've been so many fucking shootings and deaths since then. Like, the symbolic meaning kinda becomes just empty or hollow with minimal impact. Like voting Biden. But maybe I'm just cynical.
Yeah I mean there’s been like several other “Derek chauvins” that won’t see one iota of this attention and that’s something to remember and consider even if it slaps that they actually put this one away
The one with the mom that got off scott free and oJ before your time?
I just meant in terms of scale/popular attention. I'd say both those cases soaked up about as much media attention.
this is just what a big trial is like. The olds among us will remember OJ and many other 90s era cases that were very big
Was this trial bigger than OJ? that's the only one I know was very big.
OJ was much more omnipresent. It spawned an incredible amount of culture and proto-memes
Yeah I’ve been steeling myself against an acquittal by saying either way this will almost certainly not prevent people from dying by police in the cruelest ways imaginable this summer. And it’s still true, but it’s good to see something happen.
This tells us burning down precincts is not adventurism. If only this was more clear/understood and could finally silence the liberal non-violence purists.
i send the pigs in /r/protectandserve ppb and they ban me, literally :1984:

Guilty of all three charges, including second degree murder. Thank fuck
