Re: George Floyd protests
I've yet to hear a good reason for kneeling on a cuffed man's neck while he pleads for his life.

As for Cunt's point, it shouldn't be too hard to show that an appeal is always an option. We operate in an imperfect system with imperfect knowledge. I think we can always get there--to an appeal--from that, don't you?

Re: George Floyd protests
I think an appeal was as inevitable as the riots.
Or the media circus.
Bet you can find outrageous stories supporting any point of view, with facts from the investigation, trial and public response.

Is that different (legally) to an appeal?

Re: George Floyd protests
Yes. 'Derek Chauvin’s Attorney Files Motion For New Trial'
Attorney Eric Nelson has filed a motion for a new trial for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd.
Nelson filed the motion on the grounds of juror misconduct, and that the court abused its discretion for failing to agree to the defense’s requests for a change of venue and sequestering the jury.
The filing comes in the midst of a controversy surrounding a photo of juror Brandon Mitchell at the March on Washington last August, which included speeches from George Floyd’s family members. He is seen wearing a T-shirt that says “Get Your Knee Off Our Necks.” In his juror questionnaire, Mitchell wrote that he had not attended any protests about police brutality. Mitchell told WCCO Monday that he was at the march in support of ramping up voter turnout for the 2020 presidential election.
“Either way, I was going to D.C. for this event, even if George Floyd was still alive,” Mitchell said.
Attorney Joe Tamburino, who is not affiliated with Chauvin’s case, said the odds of him getting a new trial are “very low.”
“It appears that when it comes to this alleged juror misconduct Derek Chauvin is asking for this verdict to be thrown out,” Tamburino said. “Obviously the defense is under the gun, they have 14 days to do a motion for a new trial.”

Re: George Floyd protests
Between the juror, and Biden and Water's comments, it's a wonder it hasn't been declared a mistrial.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

If a retrial is ordered, that would be effectively the same...

Re: George Floyd protests
Because there can't be a just, moral, lawful, or even a technical judicial reason that should stop a cop from kneeling on a person's neck while they gasp their last, and then some.
Chauvin pleaded the fifth at his trial btw.

Do you think if it had happened to a white guy from rural wherever, conservatives would be floating all manner of lame excuses for why Chauvin should have gotten off?

Re: George Floyd protests
A couple of kids got expelled from my kids' high school after making a video mocking George Floyd's death. They re-enacted it and said "we love racist cunts!".

Sounds like the kind of "comedy" that Cunt would like.

If you accuse enough people of being racist or racist-supporters, eventually you'll get nirvana.
As to satire, I found wiki, a more 'blue-friendly' source than Rushdie...
Satire
Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement.Wikipedia
