That it is not related to Trump.
Trump told people to resist and liberate themselves from covid rules.
Like X1000.
Some more info:
You sure do figure out a lot about the suspects just from their skin color.
All three of the suspects have been charged, but the two male suspects have not yet been caught as of this afternoon.
I really like the look of the mask on the woman at her arraignment. Yeah, I know that she wore a mask to the site and her daughter didn’t, but it should drive home the seriousness of her crime.
How about from the fact they murdered a security guard in cold blood? That tells me all I want to know.
TBF, **Icarus **in his post filled in a lot of other inferred details-not-in-evidence regarding the social dynamic. But it seems like that has become the main thrust of this thread anyway.
OTOH the fact that they casually murdered someone for “disrespect” while doing his job, yeah, *that *satisfies me to call them criminals and antisocial no matter what their sociocultural/politicoeconomic background.
Plenty of American idiots make the news in Australia. Hell, the idiot in the White House is in the papers all the time.
Arrest all involved parties and sort out the charges later.
Nope, I would tell the same story about cracker-ass meth-head white trailer trash, if that makes you feel any better.
My guess is that he didn’t know that 8% of African-American voters voted for Trump in 2016.
There’s a fair chance that these murderers were NOT Trump supporters, but if Darren Garrison is offering 92-8 odds, I know which way I’m betting! 
It’s been years since I graduated from law school-- er, I mean watching “Law & Order”-- but I had a thought that’s similar to Chefguy’s reply.
Rightly or wrongly, prosecutors often go “big” in initial charges, especially in highly-publicized crimes that, to use the legal expression, “shock the conscience”.
My sense is that prosecutors (and politicians) assume that a majority of the public “demands” tough, uncompromising prosecution-- so it’s better to open with maximum charges rather than appear to “downplay” the heinous nature of the crime.
Once things settle down, the prosecutors can and do revise and downgrade the inflated original charges-- assuming that they actually filed the inflated charges in the first place, and weren’t just disingenuously making public-relations noises about doing so.
Also, prosecutors may deliberately overcharge for tactical reasons, e.g. as a feint to obtain leverage when more than one perpetrator is involved. The super-sized hammer hanging over one defendant’s head may persuade the other(s) to cooperate, confess, etc. in exchange for a reduction in the excessive charges.
I’m only describing this would-be pragmatic approach, not extolling it.
FWIW, one absolutely reprehensible and indefensible variation of this type of overcharging is when prosecutors bluster that they intend to charge a pre-teen or early adolescent child accused of homicide “as an adult”, purely as demagogic pandering to public outrage.
I’m a bit confused…
just WHY would you say that an african-american family are “White Supremacist”?
Your sarcasm detector needs fine-tuning.
Whoosh!
Apparently those shoppers have started a trend:
I guess Oklahomans are more comfortable being strapped. This crew did not have to rush home to fetch the weapon like their Michigan counterparts did.
This thread is a perfect example of the echo chamber this place has become, and the snap judgments many of you make about people in general, without knowing the complete picture. A lot of you fuckheads should be the subject of your own pit comments. :rolleyes:
