Of Our Peers

The Crypt Keeper told supporters that if the citizen jury in Minneapolis does not return a conviction for first degree murder (even though no one is on trial for that) that they should become more "confrontational" and "fight" to show them "we" mean business.  Now apparently "They" in this circumstance, are "the racists" and "the right wing" according to TCK, that is against the house bill on police reform.  I'm not sure if she means House/Senate Republicans, or Americans in general who didn't vote for Biden? I don't know. Is this a call to take substantive action against members of congress or citizens or both?  Who is the subject here?  A jury is going to make a decision in a criminal trial and TCK is using hxr position to motivate that decision through the treat of mob violence.  Does the jury have any responsibility for their own decision?  And if it isn't their decision to make, who's is it?  And if it isn't the decision that a sitting member of congress thinks it should be, she will set loose the mob on Americans as punishment for not staying in line?????  Is that what just happened?  We are in the most frightening of times. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/straightright/message
