Gotta throw red meat to the racist AF base to distract from how fElon and his Incel Clown Posse is stealing from the American people...

They just want to cause riots. Trump and Elon are agitators.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This. I'm convinced at this point they're attempting to instigate riots so they can declare material law and seize full control over the US government.

dont let muzk to kontrolz yous

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Of course he would. Pigs of a leather grunt together.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Hell yes! Get Chauvin out of Club Fed and right into GenPop of the nearest state prison. That'll work out GREAT for everyone. Except Chauvin.

Well it’s pretty clear musk is a piece of shit like trump

[–] [email protected] 84 points 1 month ago

I think the ultimate goal is martial law, and I think he is unconcerned about what triggers his ability to declare it.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago

Nazi Musk does nazi things.

So which company building we burning down first? I vote for Wal-Mart.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How about a Tesla building? Or a government building?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tesla do that on their own. If we did their building, people will think it was the same way.

Government build hurts the people. We will have to rebuild it again. Plus I want a building that will improve the community and a Wal-Mart building will accomplish that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Tesla do that on their own.

Not often enough

I scrolled all the way to the bottom of these comments, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the comments that I'd see on reddit, the ones all the way at the bottom that show up every time George Floyd is mentioned, weren't there. I hadn't even thought about those comments until I got to the end.

Was he convicted federally, or is Musk just generating distractions for the news media?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Chauvin is at FCI Big Spring (Federal Correctional Institute) so he likely has federal charges.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

State charges might have been dropped due to the federal convention so he could possibly still have a state trial

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If the charges were dropped then I don't think they can be re-litigated. That would be double jeopardy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most likely wouldn't apply unless a state trial had already started.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Why? Dropping the charges would be a court decision so it's on record that a charge was raised and then dropped. That's still a court outcome.

Oh boy. I mean sure, pardon the federal charges.

He's still got time he owes Minnesota about 20 years yet. I don't know what the laws about where he serves are, but I don't imagine he'll be placed somewhere better.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Prisons in Minnesota are much more likely to have inmates that he personally arrested, so moving from federal to state prison would be significantlyworse for him

"How can we cause larger riots than what happened after a George Floyd was murdered?"
