So do we get to call of these idiots "Trial Deniers, Insurrectionists, and the greatest existential threat to the rule of law"?

Yes. Absolutely.
Jan 6 participants were dabbling with eroding our election process, but I'll allow that most of them got caught up in some unplanned bullshit and didn't really have any organization.
This is more subtle in that no gates are being stormed, but we're honestly talking about the righteousness of exposing jurors to dangerous fanatics, circumventing a court decision, and attacking a defendant because the moral mob didn't like what happened. What are the odds this kid can go to school? Get a job? Not get shot in public? This shit is worse in terms of the damage it's doing to civil society. It's easily worse.

This is what the emotion of righteousness does to the human psyche.

You think the two mind-sets are unconnected?
It takes two to tango. Trump and AOC have more in common than their supporters would admit.

What POTUS news said:
In a longer statement issued by the White House a short time later, Biden said, "While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken."
He added that "I urge everyone to express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law. Violence and destruction of property have no place in our democracy."
He is ANGRY with the jury verdict? I guess he thinks they acted "stupidly."
Presumably he was pulled away from his warm milk and nap by his handlers and told what to say, because he would not have stayed awake long enough to watch the actual trial.

He should just issue a mandate to all prosecutors.
Just show the skin color to the jury.
Case closed.

That sound you hear? That's Nick Sandmann offering advice.
I wonder how strong a defamation case he has. I've read that he's allegedly a "public figure" so the bar is higher.

A lawsuit doesn’t stop this degradation of the American Psyche. She’s saying it because most of her viewers believe it. A lawsuit isn’t going to stop that. And yes, Horace there are those on the right that are just as bad. I point to the two Reps offering Congressional Internships to Rittenhouse.

An internship offer is as bad as an entire political establishment reinforcing the idea in the heads of the masses that the judicial branch of government is hopelessly rigged based on skin color?

By the way, that "Dexter" pic is from a "friend" on FB.
I don't do politics there, so it took all my self-restraint to not say, "So, some vigilantes are good?"

It's not as much tribalism as media sensationalism. They want eyeballs, Truth be damned.

Well the mayhem they're going to cause is going to lead to an assload of ratings for the short period of time that we continue to have an infrastructure.
