Like Montana @missliterallywho lol

expected it? yeah. disgusted with it? yeah

I hope. This is an absolute travesty. This isn't some internet stuff, these are people's lives

Absolutely destroyed

I think involuntary manslaughter would even be a stretch, he was scared and perhaps drove with gross negligence, but even that could be defeated with an instruction on responding to emergencies and the contributory negligence of the police

@William Russell lol like Montana and boomers like my mother, yes

dude was literally following directions on his phone, not some premeditated path into protestors. involuntary would be the absolute max

Anarchists celebrating in the streets during a state of emergency encacted because the local government conspired to incite violence and shut down the rally goer's rights

incompetent lawyers?

judge that supports antifa

"I was following the instructions on my phone" isn't a great defense when there were hundreds of people in front of him

its more a matter of treason and subversion than incompetence

The real lesson here is, if you're gonna be an anarchist protester, don't be 300 lbs

dude was driving away from people pointing rifles at him and trying to break into his car w bats Nate ffs

Antifa even harassed a defense witness into not showing--and the witness is now in trouble with the judge.

Just from another angle if a family member of mine were injured by his car because someone else hit it or scared him or whatever I’d still want him to face some sort of prison time.

yeah it's really unfortunate

Complete and utter anarcho tyranny

he didnt look up from his phone? idk id like to hear from a semi unbiased lawyer. we're armchair quarterbacks

Watershed moment for the US justice system

I’m talking about one of the other dozen plus innocent bystanders

>"justice" system <:really:453005408064241674>

@William Russell I'd want the people intimidating and threatening the driver punished, not the driver himself

Maybe so

But someone needs consequences

no, the reason the phone part is important is because it proves that the commonwealth's attempt to prove premeditated intent is bogus and backed by nothing. that prevents the legitimacy of most of the charges they have on him.

JEWstice system

Horrific things don’t happen then everyone just gets to go home

Obviously the justice system is occupied by a hostile class of foreigners

It confirms what we already know about the Justice system of *Charlottesville*

@William Russell actually no, sometimes in negligence claims losses happen and nobody is to blame and the loss must unfortunately remain upon the plaintiff because nobody is a substantial factor. In order to shift the loss from the victim/plaintiff to a defendant they must be held liable via duty, breach, causation (actual and proximate) and damages. The police are arguably liable for negligence if not outright reckless behavior since they knowingly disregarded a substantial risk. I would say that the government of cville even acted purposefully.

F!!! the police's boss

Yes Cville is not the place

Jefferson is rolling in his grave

The govt of Cville absolutely acted purposefully.

I understand what you’re saying @TylerHess

I’ve kept up with the case through a couple of commie journo type twitter accounts there in Cville to see both sides I think the prosecution just outperformed the defense entirely as well

Did he have a public attorney?

He probably didn’t qualify

I dont think the defense even tried ):

Idk but I imagine the prosecution had quite the legal team
