Judge throws out riot charges against Trump’s Inauguration Day protestors

a reply to: Bluntone22

Really? Most of the people at the protest aren't innocent? There were thousands that participated in the #J20 protests. Damage was relatively minimal. Logic dictates that most were innocent. Unless of course simply protesting the sitting administration is now a crime.

And facial recognition software? So you want the US to employ the UK practice of putting CCTV on every street corner?

How was Trump guilty? I don't recall Trump standing trial for any incitement charges. You aren't conflating the "court of public opinion" with judicial law are you? Because the court of public opinion is meaningless and that would make your point 100% dumb.

I don't think anyone is saying committing illegal acts are ok...but prosecuting someone without any evidence other than them being present while crimes were committed is an awful precedent to set. If any of these people can be identified in commission of said crimes including encouraging the commission of those crimes ,which would be incitement, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

If they are dressed all in black with their faces covered, and that GROUP known for being violent and destructive starts their same ole same ole, then BUST their ass!
I despise Antifa cowards and their pathetic mob tactics. Why do they cover their faces? Because they KNOW they will be committing crimes!

So people should be arrested for what clothes they wear?

Innocent is a relative term.
Let's go with not guilty.
And no you can't prosecute those bystanders.
I did say that.

And the crowd was already on video.
No need to add any survalence cameras with everybody holding a cell phone.

Just use the software on the existing video.

I can't wait to go assault some leftists when the next Dimocrat gets elected.

What a great precedence set by this ruling.

a reply to: Bluntone22

And what are you going to do with that software? You yourself just said they're not guilty.

I seriously hope you carry out this strawman, but I know you are being facetious and purposely obtuse here and won't do it.

a reply to: DrStevenBrule

The precedence of finding people not guilty due to no evidence supporting a guilty decision?

a reply to: Xcalibur254

You find the ones that are committing the crimes.
You ignore the ones that are just protesting.
Why's that so hard?

i think the police should be allowed to shoot rioters, save time and money

That was simply priceless after Moore.

Yeah

Lets 'protest' Jones Democrat style.

a reply to: neo96

What happened to Moore outside of not being elected to the Senate? I don't recall him standing trial for anything either. Is Moore currently serving jail time in your reality or something? Because I can't see how your post here is related to anything we are talking about. It's like you don't understand how the judicial system works or something.

a reply to: Xcalibur254

Well, to be fair, this didn't happen, say, at a county fair by people protesting the subjugation and slaughter of livestock, this was a group of people during the presidential inauguration.

The broader picture matters, but I do still agree that it was lazy AND over-reaching policing to do it this way.

Just remember, "Free Speech is Hate Speech." and you should be fine! Also if you are going to chant some kindergarden nonsense, ALWAYS start it with "Hey Hey HO HO".

Assuming they can even identify the guilty parties what happens to all the data in regards to the not guilty parties? Last time I checked law enforcement doesn't really like to give that kind of stuff up regardless of a person's guilt.

a reply to: Jiggly

So you agree that cops should be allowed to shoot the inevitable protestors that will come when the next Democrat President is elected?

a reply to: Xcalibur254

It's beyond obvious the partisans can't think beyond the current situation. It goes without saying that the pendulum will swing back and everything they are snidely saying about the Democrats and Democrat voters can be applied to them in due time. It's best not to sink to that level to begin with so you don't feel the wrath of your own pettiness.

I didn't say that did I?
