It's not the courts or the juries, it's the prosecutors that are the joke.
If this guy didn't participate in the destruction, what were they charging him for?
If attending a protest march is a crime just because you know someone might cause mayhem, then right of assembly is dead, and we should notify all assemblies of the democratic party that someone might cause mayhem there, forcing them all to stay home.
The guy may be despicable for protesting a fair election, and inparticular Trump who already has demonstrated extraordinary skill as Potus. But he still has rights. And prosecutors didn't apparently have anything on him, except attendance....or failed to use what they had.
Sadly I agree with you. Why no evidence of the crime he is charged with? Sad very sad.
Yep. I suspect their claim he was aiding and abetting by being there, yelling, holding a sign etc. That’s not a case.
I pretty much agree with that.
One avenue to help bolster their case would have been to reference any online statements he had made related to “tearing the place up” or some such.
IMO, part of this process was just giving those who attended and were likely involved in the riot, was to give them so much grief they’d think twice of doing it again.
I doubt many of those who showed up in that group, were fully innocent.
If I’m around when my side starts getting violent, I’ll leave. I don’t believe in rioting or destroying businesses, and you won’t catch me in a group doing that sort of thing.
