They criticized/disagreed with him and it hurt is fee fees.

Because they are all the real snowflakes.

We tried to tell y’all that the RICO prosecution attempt against Cop City protestors was a test and attempt at setting precedent.

Distraction

Release the Epstein files!

these people are so volatile and fragile, bless their pedophile hearts

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

It's fucking hilarious that this fat oaf is acting the way he says the libs act: that is, someone with their fee fees hurt. Fuck dumpy.

Every accusation from a conservative/fascist is a confession. Every. Single. Time.

Un. Fucking. Believable.

Id expect nothing less from a man who dogged a draft by faking bone spurs and who’s only able to be an alpha when he’s raping innocent young children.

Pathetic.

This is going to be the golden age of jury nullification.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago

It already is, there's been a shocking and historically unprecedented number of grand jury "no bill"s recently in DC and LA when prosecutors try to indict random protestors with felonies, which is incredible since those are basically unheard of.

I also watched legal eagle

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

its also performative to satiate the republican masses, to look "strong".

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Yes. I think people are wise to the fact that the simple potential of facing charges is the threat that is supposed to intimidate and suppress opposition. Tying someone's life up in a trial that has no chance of seeing a guilty verdict is the actual punishment they are aiming for because they know they have no legal standing.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Its not even jury nullifcation, its grand jury nullifcation in many cases.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

The petit jury nullification is coming. You've got defendants in DC insisting on their speedy trial rights because they want to get themselves on front of a jury right now in the present moment.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

jury of your peers is a jury of your peers, i don't care how they nullify unjust charges

Protestors need to know how to contact their local ACLU. If you're doing this level of protest, probably should preemptively havea contact with them and memorize the contact phone number

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Also National Lawyers Guild. Write their phone number on your arm in sharpie before protests

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

There are legal services you can subscribe to that give you a phone number to call if you get arrested and they'll send out a lawyer. The one I have is $300 a year.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

PREACH! Mine is $26 a month and well worth it. I can get a lawyer on the phone within an hour for any trivial question or thing I need to investigate.

For those not in the know, it's basically legal insurance. Many services are free, EOL docs and such. I believe they'll draft a letter for free as well, haven't tried that. For actual litigation you get 30% off, which is significant.

My divorce lawyer was fucking awful. My child custody lawyer, Jesus, he put a stick on my ex-wife and mopped the courtroom floor with her dumb ass.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Could you link us? I've never heard of this sort of service.

They're above board, no bullshit. I'm not aware of any other such firm in the US. I mainly know because my dad was an insurance salesman in the 90s. Worked for 20 firms, only sold you what fit your needs, not locked to a single outfit's offerings. He was a fan, and given his morals, I had a look. Plus they're originally from Oklahoma, like me!

Company before last offered us the benefit, and since I already knew about them, I signed up. Funny thing, I'm not sure I'm paying a dime extra for the "benefit" since I quit that place.

People have commented online, "I'm not in legal trouble and I don't plan on suing anyone, don't need it." But legal issues are like violence, they're up in your grill, instantly. In any case, it's damn nice to literally have a phone number in your pocket for legal aid. I've mostly used it to ask, "Can they do this to me?", "What recourse do I have?", "What if I do this thing?"

LOL, the law ain't what most think. Yes, they can do that. No, you don't have recourse. Don't do that thing. But still, having a real lawyer to talk to is damned instructive. It's the difference between the rich and poor.

I originally subscribed because I wanted an employment contract review, and $300 was way less than hiring a lawyer directly. I've kept it because I'm critical of the current administration.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

The ACLU will probably be charged alongside any protesters anyway, just to eliminate using them for legal counsel under the guise of "because I said so" and Judge Cannon et al will just accept it

Last time I checked the constitution is still in effect

Don't be intimidated by the Trump administration. That only does them a favor.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Last time I checked the constitution is still in effect

Last time I checked, it's not self-enforcing.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

last time i check the gop, see it as a meaningless piece of paper.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

No but we can enforce it

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Depends on the judge. But yes every one of these infringements should be fought.

The GOP needs to pass emergency legislation - Immediate life sentences without trial for anyone that hurts Trump's dainty little feelings.

After years of saying "Fuck your feelings" to "snowflake" liberals, Maga and Trump keep proving themselves to be the most delicate little snowflakes on the planet. Every fucking thing the GQP and Maga says is projection.

I wish the irony of him proving the protesters right by doing this wasn't completely lost on that dumbfuck.
