They’re trying to Reichstag fire up their own Reichstag fire. Martial law in America as a toe dip for their invasion of Canada.
Was he convicted federally, or is Musk just generating distractions for the news media?
He has a federal conviction for 20 years and a state conviction for 22.5 years
Good, so not going anywhere.
Chauvin is at FCI Big Spring (Federal Correctional Institute) so he likely has federal charges.
State charges might have been dropped due to the federal convention so he could possibly still have a state trial
If the charges were dropped then I don’t think they can be re-litigated. That would be double jeopardy.
Most likely wouldn’t apply unless a state trial had already started.
Why? Dropping the charges would be a court decision so it’s on record that a charge was raised and then dropped. That’s still a court outcome.
Elon knows millions of Americans hate him and are coming for him so he wants every single super-villain free to team up together.
No. He wants a racial war and Chauvin walking free is a surefire way to start one.
This whole thing is giving Manson Family
I can nazi why not.
I’m sorry, folks. I’m trying a variation on the old adage. I’m terribly sorry.
Not for that cop, though, he deserves to rot.
I find it funny how people on the right want the cop who shot that lady during the Jan 6 riot to be punished, yet think Chauvin was in the right…like how can you be so stupid…then again they probably don’t care the cop shot her they care cuz he’s black.
One cop shot a minority. One cop shot a Republican. To them one one of the victims is considered human. Take a guess as to which.
I kind of wish Chauvin shot Floyd instead of the TORTURE he put that man through. Slowly choking the life out of him as he begged for his life.
That should go over well.
Of course he would. Pigs of a leather grunt together.
Yeah that tracks with this timeline.
“How can we cause larger riots than what happened after a George Floyd was murdered?”
Do you want riots? Because that’s how you get riots.
Yes, actually. Riots give them an easy path to invoke the insurrection act.
It’s so weird how people in power play the most dangerous games in countries where the population is not disarmed
A bunch of civilian rifles stand no chance against drones 30k feet in the air dropping guided missiles or the ai controlled murder dog robots they’ve been showcasing the past couple years.
Plus, what is the disgruntled American town going to do when an abrams rolls down Main Street? They’re just as prepared as afghani villagers when that situation comes to pass.
and where we lack affordable access to mental health care!
Greed make you do dumb shit.
for all the guns americans have, theyre clearly too cowardly to use them for anything outside of school shootings
Are you just ignoring all the instances where this statement isn’t true or do those not count because two guys you don’t like are still alive?
?
I’m assuming you’re saying this because no one has killed Trump or Musk yet. That’s sort of nonsensical considering the former has had at least two attempts on his life in the last year. Important people get shot at on a fairly regular basis in America.
The first one wasn’t a real attempt. It was for the photo OP
Exactly. Just shows you what a bunch of pussies they really are. I’d kick so much ass in an elementary or middle school. i wouldn’t even need a gun.
You don’t get to watch our local news reports. Plenty of people get smoked every single day by gunfire. Fuck someone’s wife , cut them off in traffic , call them a snitch ,bump into them in a bar, throw snow from your driveway onto theirs 💥💥💥. It could be anything that gets a bunch of new holes added to your meat suit
lol…i live near Cleveland dude. trust me, i know.
My bad thought you were French or something /s
Sure but they all whine they need them for incase government be bad. Now we have a situation and they are all quiet. The only reason Americans need guns is to make the small minded can’t see their own penis men fell powerful. I have never once in my life thought I sure would feel safer with a gun. Ok maybe but not in the city.
Is that supposed to prove Americans are not a bunch of cowards? Because it does the opposite.
Does your mom know you’re talking to strangers online?
I dunno. Ask her when you’re done with her.
There was the one guy who tried to snipe the orange man at a rally, so there was that.

Does it matter though? The people with the most firearms are the most indoctrinated. And besides that, Americans have always talked about needing the right to bear arms to dispose of a tyrannical government, but it seems like people aren’t even putting in the effort to vote or protest, let alone taking out the fascists. So what exactly is the point of all the guns? Besides the purpose of supplying all the criminals in both Mexico and Canada with illegal weapons
Be careful with your reasoning, my friend. Just because they want it doesn’t mean they would survive it.
No reasoning my friend… Just a statement. You’re projecting think.
Dude will still spend 22.5 years in prison even with a pardon.
Non American here, how does that work?
The president can pardon him on federal charges. He still faces the 22.5 years on state charges. Basically, he was convicted of murder in Minnesota, and then civil rights violations in federal court.
Assuming that they don’t pressure the governor of Minnesota to pardon him as well.
Not sure Walz would do that. Next governor… No idea.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that is not the point.
actually, yes. I think they do.
Huh. Makes sense then, the pardon. Jesus Christ.
Not saying you’re wrong just want to understand youre thinking why would they want riots? Isnt that the only real threat to them?
Enact martial law, take over all legislation, be a dictator. Job done.
That’s why he’s firing everyone at the top of the military who isn’t a white male.
trump has been looking to apply the insurrection act since his first term. with the various sycophants in congress and the executive, there has never been a more opportune time (other than tomorrow, of course).
as to why… well, trump has gotten even more messianic since his first term. suppression of dissent would be a powerplay that may yield significant dividends, showing loyalists the need to stay in the camp and detractors what happens when you resist.
just my 0.02
Thanks to the weakness of our system and certain pathetic losers holding their values and personal ethics over the national security interests of the United States nothing was ever done about trump’s sedition. I will never forgive our previous president for not doing exactly what needed to be done to deal with the DOMESTIC THREAT to the constitution that he was sworn to protect by not eliminating the republican party/scotus/and a certain billionaire. Had our previous president made the ‘tough call’ that presidents are required to make to protect the nation and the constitution then we simply wouldn’t be in this position. I will never believe that our previous president wasn’t briefed on the threat posed by all of this and wasn’t fully aware of everything. There will never be any excusing him allowing things to happen this way. The man was in his 80s even had he been in any legal trouble over this his life is functionally over at this point fuck him for doing nothing when he was the only one who could achieve this on his own.
Authoritarians equate fear with respect. Aggressively putting down a riot makes people scared = people respect them. It is the same reason Putin jails critics inhumanely or Kim kills families of defectors in NK. If people lose their fear of them these despots are powerless.
Triggering division as an excuse for suppression is Dictator 101.
Your political opponents are lawless? That means you can legally crack down on them.
It has the side benefit of stirring the shit/divisions which is what keeps Trump in place.
Makes sense thanks for explaining
Mhm. It’s understandably counterintuitive, and indeed a problem for “regular” politicians.
You’d think it would make Trump lose support, and to some extent it does, but I guess you also have to understand how warped the US information environment is. Anyone who cares about George Floyd and actually sees this in their news feed would not support Trump anyway, whereas that’s not the case for nearly any past president. Supporters who see the riots would write them off as not Trumps fault.
Can someone kick off from ketamine? Cos I really hope he just does a little too much one night
Not really. And I wouldn’t pin this behavior on something that has therapeutic use anyway, ketamine deserves better.
I never pinned this on k, it’s just an avenue for him to kick off on
Right on, apologies if I came in a little hot
Yeah, Ketamine doesn’t cause racism
Yes, but it’s generally folks who IM it who do.
Matthew Perry is probably the most famous example. But growing up in the party scene, it does happen fairly often.
Yeah I wasn’t sure cos I know plenty of people who do it and are always all right for the most part. The effects never appealed to me so I just never partook but it seems like you really have to fuck up bad to be in serious trouble on it
Yeah, the IM users are bypassing first pass metabolism. And cranking up their tolerance to unsustainable levels.
Which makes it a lot more dangerous than for folks who snort or inhale it. So, we don’t hear about many overdoses. Especially if someone is using a mist inhaler from a Dr.
Chauvin would join Kash Himmler’s near future SA or NKVD private security detail. The single finger salute goes out to the neo-Nazis and their Government of Putin supporters.
elon can fuck right off with this bullshit
They reeaally doing anything they can to get that martial law step started from their project 2025 handbook
You wanna really turn up the Lonnie hate, don’t you Lonnie?
