Surprised to see that I was the first person to vote no.

Now that the election is over, there is no real reason for a media machine to rile people up.

Back in July, Chauvin's trial felt like it would become the trial of the century. But now, I think the trial will get far less coverage that we had anticipated.

I'm not saying trial isn't an important one. I'm just saying that the public interest is lower that I originally thought it would be. In July, I was ready for Chauvin to be OJ2.0. But now I just don't think that the average American cares as much.

I think the story will only blow up if there's an acquittal, or a super soft bullshit sentence (something like 2 years for involuntary manslaughter).

After multiple murders if the GFAZ and general lawlessness in the area, I'm less than convinced.

Likewise, daily riots in Portland continue, ostensibly over the George Floyd case.

However, the topic is more about a national (if not global) explosion of riots as we saw last time. I'm still of the opinion they're going to happen regardless. Murder 1 wasn't even on the table.

This is the trial summarized by, "If he's convicted, it's proof that America is racist and we should burn it down," or "If he's not convicted, it's because America is racist and we should burn it down."

There's no winning in this case. At any rate, bumping so that when the riots happen, we all have a place to opine. :)

Riots over Covid-excused martial law mandates are a different thing, and honestly deserve their own topic.

Global hysteria only added to everything that happened over all, But I do agree it does deserve its own thread

protests against a culture of police violence and systemic racism: "toddlers"

temper tantrums because you're being asked to wear a mask during a fucking pandemic: "patriots"


you people really live in an #alternative reality, lol.
