I can understand the sentiment but there's absolutely no way they'd get a first degree murder charge to stick. Unless they could prove that Chauvin knew Floyd prior to his arrest and intentionally stalked him with a premeditated plan to kill him after arresting him, it wouldn't fly. Even second degree murder is not going to be easy to prove.

 

 

Translation: Trump screamed at Esper and threatened his job. 

Oh I think they could prove  2d degree - this could result in a plea deal for 3rd degree.

 

THis is the Minnesota statute of 2d degree murder that I see applying.

 

Unintentional murders.

 

Whoever does either of the following is guilty of unintentional murder in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 40 years:

(1) causes the death of a human being, without intent to effect the death of any person, while committing or attempting to commit a felony offense other than criminal sexual conduct in the first or second degree with force or violence or a drive-by shooting; or

The past week has been devastating to her odds of being the VP pick over Kamala Harris. 

it just doesn’t seem like it’s her job to leak that info. She happens to have access and she’s so desperate to be relevant she’s losing site of what matters. 
 

what matters is clear decisions and explanations about what’s going on. There’s protesting and rioting and fracturing. 
 

stay in your lane.

Not to go too off topic here, but I think her people said she was repeating what had been in the local news.

Yeah, think the Minn Star-Tribune already had reported it before Amy did

Ah, ok. I misunderstood then. I thought she was the source of the info. Never mind the. And Thank you.

I think when the statue stuff happens in Richmond I should take a vacation for a week because the right wings nuts are no doubt gonna come into the city full force and it’s gonna be Absolute mayhem with the residents. Like I honestly don’t know what happens kind of mayhem.  That’s a explosive situation.   

[mistertim]

Jesus ****ing Christ. STABBING THE WATER BOTTLES? I mean...why? Destroying the place wasn't enough? They had to make sure that nobody could potentially get anything beneficial from it?

So they're using the symbol for The Punisher?  

 

 

Are they advocating vigilante justice?

On one hand, that’s never gonna happen.  Despite all the bluster, Central VA is very laid back.

 

OTOH,  Monument Ave is a beacon of conflict...still.  Bob Lee could come down this summer.  We might get a whole lot more attention than we ever wanted.
