    Reading about it I am not completly convinced that he is innocent

    This implies there is a non-zero chance he was guilty. In reality, there is a zero percent chance he was guilty. Even implying there is a small chance he was guilty is white supremacy.

    Typical toxic masculinity.

    Typical liberal grasping at straws when your bigoted worldview is challenged.

      English doesn't have a word for how much I despise condescending, know-nothing dogs like them. Whether settler or minstrel, there is not a word, slur, or malediction in this language to properly encompass the contempt I feel for them.

      Reading about it

      Looks like they did more than you. There is indeed quite a bit of evidence that suggests he was guilty, which you'd realize if you weren't just discounting all of it as surely sprouting from white supremacy. But our justice system works on the presumption of innocence, or at least it's meant to. That it failed to, that our justice system is structurally flawed, that's what's racist -- not the real possibility he might have been guilty. Lol, literally nothing in this world has a zero percent chance, and if you think it does, you're honestly blinded by your fucked up pseudo-ideology.

      Learn what structural racism means, and until then don't call yourself a leftist.

      Anyway I g2g have a life. Peace out.
