      Reduced? I want them overturned on appeal, compensated for the harm done to them, and the judge to see consequences for such a gross miscarriage of justice.

        Judge should be removed from the bench in a disgraceful manner. This is weaponization of the law for political purposes.

      Democrats should be running on pardoning everyone but the guy who shot a cop.

        100 years for that seems pretty steep

        Including the guy who shot the cop. He saved lives and the cop didn’t even die. Literally best case scenario.

            Not sure on specifics but cop was apparently aiming at an unarmed crowd.

            Edit: this is a good time to remind people that most stand your ground and castle doctrine laws specifically say you’re not allowed to defend yourself against a cop or a landlord.

              Fuck cops and landlords. What a perfect match of scumbags to group together.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
