If you want to catch up on what happened last night and skip all the doomposting, sperg fights, and users taking the bait from the usual suspects, here are my posts with actual content (the highlight feature caught most, but not all):
Planet Of The Apes vs 18 Wheeler
16yo Sheboon Bodycam Footage
Narrated bodycam at press conference
Twitter, ReeeesetERA sperging over Columbus shooting
Portland Antifa Punches Cop
Portland Antifa "Press Box"
Lügenpress NPR 1
Lügenpress NPR 2

There were groups active in Portland and Seattle who didn't do much but break windows and start small trash fires in the street. There is no footage because they assault anyone who films them, you can find the aftermath on Portland news stations' twitter accounts. They've certainly learned their lesson after last year when it comes to live streaming. There was a march through Columbus after the girl was shot but it was fairly quiet and consisted of mind numbing, repetitive chants. Overall, the mood was mellow because it was 420.

I promised you motherfuckers int the trial thread that if the riots effected me, I would let y'all know.
Apparently some cocksucking asshole decided to take some sort of tree trimming saw and went around cutting power lines in my neighborhood. My neighbors saw him as he was running away.

Cops should leave black people alone and not help them if they call 911.

That's what BLM wants. They should give them that.

You know, if police stopped responding to calls that involved a minority suspect they might lose 90% of their business.

Also I have to agree with those who say that manslaughter is the most suitable charge. I don't think he intentionally killed George Floyd, but he acted in a manner that was irresponsible. Chauvin had some serious problems even for Minneapolis PD but I doubt the official story.

Yeah I'm fairly sure I saw the defense had failed to get the judge to sequester them throughout the trial. One of many things swept under the rug.

Holy shit! This would almost sound like conspiracy-level stuff to accuse the other side of doing. So I googled to see if it was the case, but I was not expecting Google to give up the information so readily, nor for it to be quite this blatant:

Nelson also expressed concern that jurors might be made nervous to deliver a verdict with which the public does not agree.

Prosecutor Steve Schleicher countered that he didn't believe jury sequestration would be effective. It used to be that avoiding media meant not reading newspapers or watching television, he said, but now media are omnipresent.

Throughout Chauvin's trial, jurors have been partially sequestered, supervised in the courthouse at all times. But they've been allowed to go home at night, according to our VERIFY fact-checking team.

Until now, I’d been operating on the assumption that they’d somehow been kept away from social media for the duration of the trial, but presumably already knew from having followed the news before the trial which way the public would likely side.

But this… This is way worse than even I would expect. A fair trial never stood a chance. 30 seconds on Twitter could have shown them it was their lives or Chauvin’s, and they weren’t even sequestered until the last 2 days. So I dare say that if I’d been a part of that jury then, hand on heart, I’d have fared no better than them. I’d have sent an innocent man to rot in prison, and probably most of the rest of us would too.

Justice isn’t just blind. She’s also deaf and dumb.

Sheboons should just be allowed to stab people in the streets and kill Door Dash drivers.

My guess is money laundering from higher ups. That's what I wondered as well.

All you got to do to make money is be Black, get shot by police on tape and create a sob story.

No thanks.

Was it money laundering when Kyle Rittenhouse's defense was funded by police and public officials?

Add that to the list of things the appeals court is going to have fun with, that list has grown quite long. However this is clown world and if Biden and co's comments is any indication there might be pressure from the top to deny any attempts at appealing this verdict.
