Wow I imagined someone had made something like this already but I'm still surprised by how many examples there were

What a corrupt clown show. This was the makeup of the government and media during the Trump administration too, don't know why anyone thinks he has a chance now whether he gets the votes or not

And what good does that do if they're a hated minority today?
Society doesn't rise up to defend people they are already biased against, if anything it will join in the dogpile. Which is certainly what happened in Hugo

which groups are being persecuted changes, but the mob hatred is just the same in the internet age as it was 100 and 200 years ago. The same as it is in India and Pakistan, look at how mobs and social media intersect there, and the heavy handed censorship to try to get it under control. But I can tell you that its a pretty good sign a group like mexicans aren't the target of popular hatred if a dozen illegal immigrants can kidnap and gang rape an 11 year old girl and other young girls in bemidji and society's response is a collective shrug instead of arming themselves and lynching every taco eater in town

when the mob becomes a violent mob the violent people get prosecuted. if it happens enough times DAs will learn to appease mobs at least enough that their front lawn doesnt become Occupy Wallstreet.

Or a mob can become a violent mob and the DA shares their views and doesn't prosecute anyone and entire cities get torched and those responsible go unchecked.
Take a case example like the trucker who tried to deliver gas to minneapolis during the height of the insurrection. 1000 people illegally spilled onto the freeway and nearly got run over when he went over a hill and saw them, slammed on his breaks and saved hundreds of lives. Only to be pulled from his vehicle, shot at, beaten, mugged and his property stolen and destroyed- all on video including folks who proudly took trophies and showed off what they stole from him. The trucker got prosecuted, not the people who attacked him.

The safeguard you've been describing is actually the danger itself- societal bias. Leaving it to the people results in mob action, and infecting the justice system with it results in kangaroo courts.

your foolish revisionist history won't hold up

we have been into this many times

the fact that there are hundreds of them in jail already is plain and simple clear as day obvious enough to know they dun goofed

yeah...some poor innocent trucker driving into peaceful protestors at speed. do you ever get sick of your hypocrisy??

so we're living in a fantasy land where violent mobs are left unchecked in perpetuity for, checks notes, bias?

we've already seen the national guard called in to several cities, and it's been a while since we had our last real riot. unless we count flash mobs of petty thievery from retail stores, and i dont.

He's talking about the black pogroms of 2020 where no one was held accountable.

putting innocent people in jail only shows you are a member of a left-wing fascist cult
