  • I think it’s a very strong case in terms of him doing it. I think it’s going to be hard for them to argue that it wasn’t him or that it was unintentional,” Rahmani said. But, in the public perception, “he is a very sympathetic accused murderer”.

    They don’t have to prove he didn’t do it…

    The government has to prove he did. And they have to provide evidence and disclose how they got that evidence.

    With the pressure on finding someone, it’s likely they didn’t obtain all the evidence legally. If they used illegal means to find him, Im pretty sure that taints any evidence found on him.

    The article makes it sound like jury nullification is his only shot, but there’s a very good chance the prosecution can’t use a lot of their evidence unless they make up a very good story about how they might have legally got it.


  • With the way Antisocial Personality Disorder is worded…

    If Nazis were in power and you said you’d be ok punching a Nazi to stop them from deporting a US citizen to a death camp…

    You just qualified for a diagnosis.

    Actually fought back? Even if it was just showing up to a protest?

    Also a diagnosis.

    And that’s just what would actually qualify as a diagnosis, they’d just lie about all types of shit.

    Like, they’re clearly not fans of due process, it’s completely plausible they’d have judges or even “law enforcement” rubber-stamping files and claiming it’s real.

    They can (and looks like will) throw any random label on anyone to justify their actions




  • I’m developing a very fertile hatred for the current crop of Dems that actually rivals my hatred for MAGAts.

    If you actually read the article, it’s like 2 Dems saying she should be able to run in a primary if she wants…

    There’s a big push by big media to turn people away from the DNC. Because effective February the chair is no longer a billionaire’s best friend for the first time in like 50 years.

    If you’re gonna be angry, at least be informed.




  • Mangione’s attorneys also sought to suppress statements he made to authorities in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he was arrested after a five-day manhunt and where “officers failed to provide him with Miranda warnings,” according Thursday’s court filing.

    It’s crazy how everyone has known for fucking decades that cops are idiots who only “solve” cases thru presumed innocence and planting evidence to support it…

    Yet neither of our two political parties have ever tried to fix it.




  • It should be illegal…

    But with alternating between Republicans and neoliberals for 50 years, no one has ever actually put in serious effort to reign in police. Asset seizure is 100% legal and since they’re “charging” the money/property there’s no presumed innocence.

    Biden didn’t fix policing, Obama didn’t, and under Clinton it got worse in large part due to a bill Biden wrote.

    Obviously Republicans have been worse, but the point is shit doesn’t ever get better.

    We have a good DNC now, that won’t block good candidates, but that’s a very recent development

    Quick edit:

    This meant to be a reply to someone else, but something weird is happening
