"Orchestrated Cases Against Trump Explained"--authored by Paul Craig Roberts, highlighted by Tyler Durden. "once innocence or guilt depends on personal emotions, the rule of law is dead"

This principle was vividly illustrated in the murder conviction of Derek Chauvin. At most, Chauvin should never have been convicted of more than gross negligence or manslaughter. His was a crime mainly of ignorance, not being informed by previously involved officers that Floyd had swallowed a mouthful of drugs, including fentanyl, while sitting in the car seeing officers approaching him. This was a conviction based on whipped-up emotion, not one based on all conspicuous facts.

    I don't understand how "hate crime" laws have been allowed to exist. Establishing "protected classes" of individuals seems a clear violation of equal protection.

    Essentially, these are "thought crimes" and Orwell has showed us how well that works out.

      Good post. And I agree with you; logically (and we all know Dems can't argue facts and logic), A is A in our world, but not in theirs.

      I mean, if I go out the front door and kill the first person I see, I've committed murder. If I go out and find and kill the first [insert any gender/race/ethnic/religious person here), then I've still commited murder.

      But in the eyes of the law, since I targeted someone specific due to his/her anything, I've committed a hate crime, and I should be punished more severely.

      If I live to be a hundred, this will never make sense.

      No argument here. Crazy that certain entire classes of people can't commit a "hate crime" but wind up rationalized or apologized into acting out of a deprived past or related mental problem. The mental problem was/is their unjustified, chronic hate.

      Consider the subway "leg shooter" Frank James who targeted only light-skinned passengers. Although he was acting on a SM-published manifesto and pleaded guilty to "Federal Terrorism" charges, he was never charged with a "hate crime" and, in fact, he has never received a sentence (as far as I can learn from scanning all possible references).

      I can't even find that a sentencing date has been set. It's obvious that the DOJ doesn't want to touch his case despite James' guilty plea--and Garland is just hoping people will forget about it.

    This is just the beginning of the banana republic our nation is devolving into. If this doesn't get headed off by the Supreme Court, we can kiss our nation goodbye.

        Sure. Will it happen? Unlikely.

        What can happen? The People can wake up and take back this nation by voting out the Democrats and RINOs and putting in place people who will vote to restrain government - not only the spending but the sheer size. We need a legislature who is willing to defund and eliminate much of the bureaucracy that right now is draining money from taxpayers just to fund the elitists. We also need a legislature willing to pass legislation lowering domestic taxes and regulations so we can become competitive again. Last, this same legislature needs to vote to audit the Federal Reserve and expose their chicanery.

        Next, we need an Executive branch willing to do some major housecleaning. That starts with the DoJ and FBI, not to mention the CIA. A few well-placed hangings of traitors such as Comey and others would be a nice start. The Executive also needs to make sure our military supply lines begin and end here in the United States. No chips from China. Buy American. And close the Southern border! Then start rounding up anyone here illegally and deport them. And we need to start executing child traffickers and drug dealers from other countries who come here. No extradition, just a trial that shows they were doing either followed by a short walk to a six-foot box. We need to put an end to the Chinese Fentanyl and the human trafficking.

        And we need a Judicial branch completely dedicated to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments: we need Justices willing to revisit these horrible precedents like Chevron which give unelected bureaucrats the ability to create policy. We need the Justices to say that unless there is an explicit permission in the Constitution for something, the Federal government may not be involved.

        Will any of this happens before everything falls apart? I doubt it. I can hope, but we're circling the porcelain throne as we speak...

            I'm not saying there wasn't fraud, but I think you take my meanings to be limited to the Federal Government. If that was implied in my notes, allow me to clarify: these changes must be at a local as well as a State and National level. Most of the fraud is a result of executive or judicial rulings which specifically violate the Constitution which says that only the State Legislature can determine voting rules. That was one of the key points of Trump's complaint in 2020 with Pennsylvania and other so-called "swing" states. These states allowed ballot harvesting and drop boxes - both of which are demonstrated to be havens of fraud.

            In my world, voting would be at the polls with mail-in ballots only for government employees serving overseas and for those who request a ballot and have it notarized at the time they fill it out. I would also adjust the number of people per Representative to a max of 200,000, install funding limits such that only eligible voters in a given area could fund their respective candidates (no businesses, lobbying groups, political parties, etc.). I'd also repeal the 17th Amendment and go back to having State Legislatures select Senators.

                I would make one more change to voting: anyone receiving government welfare trades that privilege for their right to vote. One of the major problems with our system is giving people the right to vote themselves perks from the pockets of the taxpayers. (de Tocqueville)

    I have an issue with Chauvin. However, I also don't believe in qualified immunity. Hand cuff the guy, and sit him up.

    Knee on the back of the head is bullshit. If some cop did this to me, I would find him after, beat him into a bloody pudding, and leave him with a pineapple shoved up his ass.

        No idea what is taught in Nazi school.

        Handcuffs work. Arm bars work, when you are a civilian and don’t have hand cuffs. I have rendered innumerable people unconscious with a “choke” (or “sleeper” if you are a WWF affictiano). They all wake up just fine.

        If you are a puny little twerp, with a get out of jail (not this time) badge, you do some BDSM crap from the inquisition.

        DO NOT get me confused with someone asserting that George Floyd was anything more relevant than dog food. He was a useless twat, that needed killing. HOWEVER, Chaivin doesn’t get to be Judge Dread, and there are a LOT of Judge Dreads strutting away, some in local law enforcement. Many in the FBI. Many in the xxx. We don’t get to have it both ways.

          I promise you, no one in my town gave a hoot about George Floyd and no tears were shed. I don't think it even got into our Newspaper. Good thing for his family everyone thought he lived his life in Houston. I understand they even named a street after him! Some people make you believe the old adage...old too soon...smart too late.

    Just FYI: There is no Tyler Durden. That 'nym, to which ZeroHedge.com attributes all its posts, was a character in the movie Fight Club.

    Many ZeroHedge posts, but not all, name the actual author on the first screen of the body of the post. The rest are just anonymous.
