But that was THEN. Today, juries are expected - threatened
if needed - to produce the POLITICALLY CORRECT 'verdict'.
Expect the Rittenhouse jury to be doxxed, harassed, attacked,
terrorized, maybe killed. THAT will teach the NEXT jury what's
expected of them ....
And some are tempted to do the same to 'Woke' jurors and
executives and policy-makers.
In short, we've become China/Cuba/Venezuela/NK/Myanmar these
days. "Justice" is no longer blind - but has a Little Red
Book in its pocket. And the equal-but-opposite opposition,
they'd have Justice with a bunch of Goebbels propaganda
leaflets in her pocket. There's everything BUT a middle
now, meaning there is NO "Justice". That tends to lead
to some VERY bad things ... like a total national implosion
that will badly screw all. Sorry, neither of todays "sides"
will yeild a Better/Greater America.
I worked long and hard all my life, doing it the right way.
Will I now have to go to the Great White North as a refugee
from US chaos ? Maybe I better refresh my French ....
