Personally speaking I don’t know as I wasn’t on the jury to hear all of the facts of the case..... so maybe he is a murder...... my personal opinion is he didn’t intend to kill him ..... which is why I brought up manslaughter
You said that already. It still proves my point.
The agreed upon process for determining whether he’s a murderer, since before the founding, has been for him to receive a trial.
He got one. He was convicted. He’s a murderer.
By substituting your own judgment and questioning the validity of the outcome, you’re essentially saying that process is no longer sufficient.
I could respect that, if it was universal and there was some thought directed towards improving the process. I could respect it if it was based on anything substantially out of the ordinary that went on with his trial.
It’s mostly not either of those things. In fact, most of the complaints about this particular trial are so frivolous that they evince an outsized faith in the jury trial process.
But Trumpkins need a reason to question the outcome to preserve their perceived validity of their political identity because they stupidly made Chauvin an avatar for “conservatives” in their dipshit culture war.
It’s the same reason they can’t accept the validity of the Mueller appointment or the initiation of either impeachment. Same reason they couldn’t accept the outcome of the Roger Stone trial. It’s the same reason they can’t accept the results of the election. It’s the same reason they need to pretend that January 6 wasn’t violent.
“If we don’t like it, we don’t accept it. If we don’t accept it, it isn’t real.” That’s the new modus operandi of the Republican Party, or at least the people who associate affiliation with the party as a core part of their personal identity.
