@RobertWeidner11 @TheBrancaShow The fact that there are people willing to deliberately lie to try to get on a jury to vote “not guilt” no matter what evidence comes out is possibly the only reason I’m not 110% behind this.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@politicalmath Sure it’s possible. It involves fraud, an illegal figure on the scale, but it IS possible.

@TRHLofficial Waiting for my unsolicited gun to be sent to me in the mail by my state.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@TheBrancaShow I am a little surprised this guy didn’t get a few thousand volts for this, though.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@Timcast Please don’t be trolling me. I’d vote for that.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ShamashAran I am not sure you can actually claim credit on that one. They were doing an exceptional job of looking stupid on their own. You merely pointed a finger at it.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ingelramdecoucy Could account for so much of their mentality that history, and the evils therein started and ended with Trump.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ShamashAran @PolitiBunny You could treat being a bad person as being in a binary, but in that case, everyone’s life has content in it somewhere to make them a bad person.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ShamashAran @ANTHONYBLOGAN @Noatworth Fails on the prongs of reasonableness and proportionality. There is also room to question innocence (can’t start a fight to “self-defense” finish it.

There are ways to fail at getting conviction under law, but most of those require a biased jury, or not pursuing the case.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@TimRunsHisMouth Mathematically, there is only one way to get that, and it’s not something that happens naturally in numbers.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ShamashAran I’ll believe you in that. One of my childhood heroes was Isaiah Thomas, who started in that bad neighborhood and worse schools, and pushed harder for his own education than his teachers ever did.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ShamashAran For some groups, though, that mindset is VERY counter cultural.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ShamashAran Hard work and commitment to self improvement has made rich and successful men of those born in the worst neighborhoods and going to the worst schools in the country. Nothing has to hold you back if you want to be better than the circumstances that let to you.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ShamashAran And cops are not above “we have it but won’t share it” to “it never existed or was deleted” when it goes from “it will convict our target” to “it may convict us”.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ShamashAran Only flaw I saw was trusting cops more than journalists. Remember that they can and will (and are even encouraged to) lie to you. If they do wrong to you, you have to overcome “qualified immunity), and their body cams aren’t always available to the public, though they should be.

@ShamashAran @Oilfield_Rando This one would be a toss-up on who would acquit faster, a Karmelo clone or a leftist white Karen. The Karen will try harder to make you feel bad about Karmelo going to trial in the first place.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@PolitiBunny @Naropa88 Assuming they want to be good, public-serving officers and not clueless, petty tyrants. Considering the officers here being lackeys of their government and its politics, the odds of that might not be zero, but a mouse could starve on the difference.

[Another Monotreme @PlatzLair]

@ShamashAran Especially since they can’t help but broadcast their stupid for the world to see.
