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.

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

    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.

        because there’s always a scuffle in Portland.

        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

          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.
