This is amazing, the incident happened near where George Floyd was killed. Since VP Vance says it was all well and good, no need for investigation. Since when does he become judge and jury? Did he get his law degree at Yale using Cliff Notes? So much for legal ethics.

vance is an absolute disgrace to humanity. It will be interesting to see how he reacts when an ice thug confronts his Indian wife and mixed race children.

Yes, well stated. Trump/Vance condemnation of the victim despite all the evidence to the contrary says it all. No more law and order. There will be no federal investigation. Stay tuned, they are just getting started, more to come. Not sure if the state can charge him, but I am sure that is being considered.

Another Rittenhouse story.

On a positive note, I see a massive civil suit coming down the pike for unlawful death. Similar to the OJ outcome where criminal trial fails but the civil trial gave some measure of justice.

Yale should withdraw Vance's law degree.

This is proof that many lawyers do not have a moral core. They have no problem defending evil if it pays.

What is so ironic is that Trump and Vance condemn northeastern elites. Trump comes from NY and Vance was "educated" at Yale, about as elitist as it gets. Obviously none of that education stuck, just a diploma.

Yes Vance and Trump have no use for the law unless it can be used to benefit themselves. Makes you wonder having Trump might be better than having Vance as Prez.

Up next - Trump demands that Michael Phelps and Katy Ledecky hand over their gold medals and that the estate of Ernest Hemingway hand over his Pulitzer Prize.

Trump continues to descend into his madness facilitated by his progressing dementia. His unhinged behaviour and comments are becoming more radical as we knew they would. His dementia and it's progression mean that the guardrails that might have been present 6 months ago are gone. All bets are off, Trump is becoming more unhinged than ever. Those around him will be complicit if they don't do anything to remove him, or contain his radical nature. It's time he went into care...

U.S. LIES to THE PEOPLE

There are lies, damn lies, and downright dirty, filthy lies, as perpetuated by the [failed] president, on down. Regarding the reprehensible, cold-blooded murder of an innocent U.S. citizen, who gets to investigate this false narrative? The [totally partial(??!)] FBI, that’s who. And whose pocket are they in? Why, the criminal, mentally unstable, physically unwell, unhinged, bloated, incredibly stupid, crazy, and deplorable personage of a Donald J. Trump—that’s who!! The self-serving administration of bald-faced

untruthers—LIARS (!!!) MUST ALL BE IMPEACHED for their outrageous, dangerous, murderous threat to the citizens of the U.S. of A., and the WHOLE WORLD!! Call them out. Make a Federal Case out of it. TELL THE TRUTH!! (Were we not all told that as children?) It’s your country, your lives, your choice! For the sake of the gods—be it known worldwide that the U.S. Government is a criminal national and international terrorist organization, posing untold disruption, fear, madness, and mayhem at the whim of a moron. Your lives are at stake. RISE UP! PROTEST!!!

‼️ IMPEACH, CONVICT & REMOVE

Then INDICT, IMPRISON & IGNORE

🍊👑, 🍊🤴 & THE WHOLE 🍊🎪‼️

And for those who will be protesting this weekend:

I found this reply to some really protest ugliness on FB: "The stoic force doesn’t shout, posture, or perform it waits. And in the end, it always prevails, because reality doesn’t negotiate with hysteria."

Stay Vigilant, Stay Calm & DON'T Engage With Hate.
