Its doesnt seem a popular verdict due to the riots. What do you think?
sorry if this has already been covered.

I think that it is going to cause a lot of unrest.

It's popular with decent people who believe in law and order.
It was clear yesterday that the people bemoaning the result hadn't watched any of the trial.

The "Independant" hadn't even watched any of the footage or prior reports. Yesterday their on line psychological nudge team reported that he had shot 3 black men.

I noticed that the riots which preceded the incident at trial are being described in news reports as "protests" when the protests in Rotterdam yesterday are being described as "riots". It seems that anything, including burning and looting, is allowed for BLM protests but nothing is allowed for anti-lockdown protests.

Without trying to take sides, its hard for me to get my head round an 18yr old boy carrying a gun, even if its covered by the 2nd amendment.

It may not be too long before we begin to wish we had a 2nd amendment or something like it. 18yr old boys carried guns, fired artillary pieces, flew planes, drove tanks, and sailed ships in their millions to defend freedoms in the past.

11.08 After all he did go there looking for trouble, and he did kill two people ???

In Rotterdam, the protesters are referred to as protesters, not rioters.

You can see this for yourself if you enter "rotterdam protesters" into a Google search.

Pieces say that riots broke out, but generally reports talk about protests not riots.

Why are BLM up in arms ? He killed two white men.

Christmas is coming.

^ 1212 they're probably up in arms because if he'd been black he would have been convicted . . .

12.21 Spot on.

The news reports I heard on the radio were as I said.
The Telegraph today reports on the Kenosha events: "During a night of racial justice protests and unrest..." Unrest? I'd call it riots when buildings are torched and looting takes place.

[Spicerack]

Probably lynched as well.
Kyle was 17 when this happened, just for the record.

[Spicerack]

Talking of lynching, old Jusse will be in court soon.

[gulliver1]

I can see where Aelmpvw is coming from @ 12.21 though.

[Spicerack]

Just typed Rotterdam into google. Rotterdam riots came up. 2 people shot by police.
BLM riots are always referred to as 'mainly peaceful protests'. ;-)
We all know which side corporate media are on. Not much point denying it.

Prediction is a gift, gully.
