The prosecutor just asked him if he was inspired by “first person shooter videogames” where “the objective is to kill as many people as possible”
He’s 100% getting away with it.
:agony-consuming:
EDIT: his testimony continues, new link here: https://youtu.be/YfrUopNUSIk
EDIT 2: The judge just denied the admission of a key prosecution video exhibit because "pinching and zooming on an ipad inserts extra pixels" and he won't allow the exhibit unless the prosecution can find an expert witness to testify that it won't corrupt the image. He's given him 20 minutes to find such a witness
In the likely event that he gets off scott-free, what dialectic effect does this have on future left-right street violence? Does a group get emboldened? Do things cool down for fear of death on one or both sides?

If people that kill protesters are going to go unpunished there is absolutely no reason that the people at a protest shouldn't shoot them dead and tear them limb from limb.
those pedestrians beating the driver who tried to run them over to death comes to mind
I need a link Edit: Are you talking about that truck driver Reginald Denny from the LA riots that white people cry about a lot?
pedestrians rocked more recently than that
i mean honestly you're probably going to jail for a long ass time for being there anyway lmao
I suspect we will see left wing protests after he goes free. Possibly large scale civil unrest, but the facts of the case make that a little less likely.
It sucks to say it, but the fact that he only killed white people also makes large scale protests unlikely. White Americans are usually too civil to engage in large scale protests over this kind of thing, which is why obscene killings like the killing of Daniel Shaver didn’t result in much of anything.

Ngl I fully believe that when the US collapse/Balkanization really kicks off it’s gonna be something in Portland that’s considered the real starting event
Bismarck, cursed with Apollo's gift, speaks again
They have both lefties and chuds there. Brooklyn and Oakland have lefties but no chuds. Doesn't a lot of the it could happen here podcast take place there?
Robert Evans moved to Portland because he thought it was the most likely place for a new civil war to kick off.
If there's going to be protests I imagine they will be pretty small. Sadly the case really didn't get the coverage like George Floyd did.
Ehh, you can't really blame POC for not going to bat for the people who enslaved, raped, and continue to terrorize them.
I'm not. I'm blaming white people for not going to bat for themselves.
