(774 posts)A woman was clearly murdered. The regime has sanctioned it. If he goes free, the regime has free reign to continue murdering people in self defense.
If this isn't the turning point, I don't think there will be one.

(10,925 posts)... it would send a message: "If you shoot a protestor in the head, you will be held responsible." They don't want that kind of message. Instead, he may get the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

(1,402 posts)Obviously Trump won't, and will obstruct any investigation by the state. I assume Trump will do a mass pardon of ICE/his administration so a future federal prosecution would be out. But the next president could turn over whatever is found for state use.
One flaw Obama had was in not going after the banking industry. Many people think the Biden administration didn't go enough after the first Trump administration and while I'm not wholly on board with that, I do think there's more that could have been done.
I think we will need something whether it's our own Nuremberg trials or truth and reconciliation commission to make sure people understand what has been happening. And it needs to be public whether Internet or TV.

Now he'd could be taken to into Civil courts and sued.

(27,389 posts)Then it will move to federal court (still a state case but handled by feds) and there is a 50/50 chance it gets dismissed by a judge. Having written procedures prohibiting shooting moving cars helps here so maybe 40% chance of dismissal.
If it makes it to trial I give it a 60% chance of conviction.

(22,123 posts)And Derek Chauvin is in prison on both federal and state charges.
It could certainly happen to Ross, but not likely before 2029.
In the meantime, hes probably gonna have to sell his house and move out of state.

Why are we still acting like the system is going to save us?
