Yes, it does have to do with it. AMong other things. An asshole, a thoroughly unlikeable person, is a lot easier to internally justify condemning to person than a baby-faced 18 year old.
As much as I respect your input in this forum, I strongly disagree and say that you're participating in defending the already moved goalpost. @TheTrumanShow said it's sad that people in this thread have little faith in justice system and that the courts are still somewhat professional. Then we have the Chauvin trial in which tainted jury gets selected, no fallout of that happens afterwards. Chauvin is overcharged and found guilty.

You might argue that this is an isolated case which was overblown and put in public spotlight and the system as a whole isn't that corrupt. I would say that precisely because the case was so notable, all the 't's should be crossed, all the 'i's dotted, otherwise you get blowback in public perception of the justice system.

And this has nothing to do with either of the defandants being assholes or not. Tainted jury is not a thing that should happen.

I'll cop, I mixed up a conversation and thought you were among the group claiming this case is doomed because of the Derek Chauvin case. So just disregard my post before.
 
I'm ready for Binger and Schroeder to fight to the death, refereed by Chirafisi.
Holy shit, so that's why I thought Chirafisi looked familiar. The guy has the perfect look and mannerisms of an old-school wrestling announcer. I'd totally get that fight on pay-per-view. Shit, I'd get the DVD.
 
I am straining to see what the point of an unarmed national guard presence is supposed to be?

Why not just send in a thousand ballerinas in their tutus?

And yes--I get a concern about somebody going off and gunning down the crowd--but my comment stands. What are they supposed to be there for--to take notes?
you're right that they are pointless, but that hasn't stopped unarmed NG from being used for all the Floyd riots
 
I will be genuinely surprised if they are for this. Seriously.
well i sort of doubt that there will even be the threat of riots outside the local area. But during the floyd riots my states guard were armed and actually fired their rifles at a black man who shot at them.

Generally they are given riot gear and used to relieve police so that the local and state cops can be deployed to high intensity areas.
 
i kind of wonder about the weapon charge.
are they going to try him as an adult for a crime only a minor can commit?
edit: if the charge for it sticks, i assume the judge will decide he's out on time served. so he won't actually serve time for it.
What's the weapon charge here?
They want lesser includeds.
I'd be surprised if it was allowed with/by agreement of the defense, they'd only agree if they were convinced Kyle would be convicted.

Right? If you aren't armed, in what sense are you a guard? At best you're a uniformed spectator. "Hey, look at those people beating each other up! Hey, look at that fire over there! Ohhhh, look at this guy coming towards me with a baseball bat! Neat!"
 
No offense my friend, but I would rate that comment "optimistic."
I dunno consider that news coverage of similar events tends to spawn copycats and we've had an entire year of news coverage about this kid.

My Schizo brain almost thinks the narrative rollercoaster has been a little too perfect and would play exceptionally well to the kind of people who would be impulsive enough to recreate those events.

The left isn't entirely wrong in their screeching around this cause they painted themselves as the quintessential bully's toady. This has been a narrative disaster for the left that at this point is hard to comprehend by all parties.

Intimidation, I guess. Personally I think that if we can only permit the National Guard to have the ability to use weapons in a situation where law and order has broken down in a large city, the National Guard should never be used for riot control purposes. Just have it be the dedicated disaster response force.

Riot cops generally are not armed with lethal guns either.
