You need to take a step back. Removing due process for anyone endangers every one. Lynching? Are you serious? Sentencing without trial isn't the solution to early release.... that's just a new problem that we'll have to deal with. You think that ends at this individual? Why would you want to give democrats that have no problem breaking the law a legal means to punish their political enemies?
I think I'll continue sitting on my constitutional high horse because this is short sighted and dangerous. No thanks.
We need to make examples, and stop being so complacent. He absolutely deserves his day in court, but what do you do when he gets a slap on the wrist? You can call me whatever you want, but the complacency of you sheep is rediculous. Better awake and angry then asleep and desensitized.
You're using double speak: He deserves his day in court unless you don't like the outcome. That's a slope I'd rather not start down. We have a democratic process for fixing issues that allow outcomes we don't like.
It's not a matter of blindly following authority, but it is a healthy respect of what or forefathers built, warts and all. If they had acted strictly on their anger, our revolution would have looked like France. Unchecked anger leads nowhere good.
I get frustrated with the system too. We seem to harshly punish the wrong things and hand-wave the important, but the solution isn't to bypass the system. It is to change it. That's how a constitutional republic works. We need to influence enough people to fix the problem, not give tyrants more weapons to use.
My assumption is that your are genuine in your belief and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that this isn't coming from racism, though I suggest supporting lynching a black man makes that difficult. Always ask yourself how will my political and ideological opponents use what I'm suggesting.... because they will pervert and twist it for their own ambitions.
Due process and respect of the rule of law is important, even when individual cases go against our sensibilities. When there is a systemic problem, use the political system to make the smallest possible change to address the issue.
If he gets a slap on the wrist im allowed to be pissed. He deserves his day in court regardless of the outcome. If he gets tried by jury, and they acquit him, i would be upset, but it would be wrong to punish him further. I agree with you there completely.
If he was chinese, I would still suggest public lynching in lieu of lifetime prison sentence. Thats a fair point regarding political opponents, i stand corrected in that respect. Itd be better to vote out the corrupt politicians, but unfortunately that aint gonna happen with all the voter fraud. We're in a really complex place in history, we're at a fork in the road, and frankly something needs to happen, we have been getting raped for decades, on all fronts.
But ultimately, you're right, rule of law needs to be respected even if it goes against our sensibilities. If we got trump elected, we can be the change.
