    I’m really holding my breath on this one. I hope no matter what happens re a verdict, there’s no violence. Unfortunately I don’t see the mob being appeased. In fact short of a conviction of the most serious charge I don’t hold out much hope that we won’t see a repeat of last year’s “mostly peaceful” protests.

    I’ll be saying a prayer for our First Responders, as well as all the folks in MSP. Be safe.

    He'll get a fair trial and then they'll hang him. How do you select a jury with so much media coverage before a trial? The media has already tried and convicted that dude. Somebody get a rope.

    I don't have an opinion either way but he won't get a fair trial, that's for damn sure. How many women are on the jury? That might be his best chance. I don't know because I haven't followed the crime of the century. How many mostly peaceful BLM demonstrations did we see that featured George Floyd as the central figure?

    No breath holding here. I'm operating on the assumption that everything is going to go to shit, to include a repeat of the rioting from last year, and I'll be pleasantly surprised if it somehow doesn't.

    I'm thinking your "crime if the century" was sarcasm" and I sure agree.
    How many people die in police custody every year?
    How many people die in police custody every year after ingesting a fatal amount of illegal drugs?

    I'm left to wonder, could an actual doctor on the scene have even saved him, let alone that hot-mess of an EMT they have had on the stand.

    If Chauvin is acquitted, they'll riot in anger, and if he's convicted, they'll riot for joy.

    Sadly, I tend to believe the same thing.

    I can realistically see only one outcome...

    There's nothing civil about this war.

    The City, who defunded and then refunded the police, settling with the family for $27m during the trial?
    No way that taints potential jurors, correct?

    They are going to riot either way but the riots will certainly be worse if there is no conviction or a light sentence.

    While I freely admit I have not been following the trial, my mind is pretty much made up (of course I have watched enough to see the store clerk trying to put the blame for calling the cops on his boss). I am the first to want to see the process work however I do not believe he will get a fair trial much less verdict. The powers that be will sacrifice this man to appease the mob. It isn’t the first time in our national history and certainly not civilizations history but it makes me sad none the less. Bet he wishes he called in sick that day?

    I hope my cynicism is wrong.
