Takes just one juror to not allow themselves to be bullied by the others and agree to a hung jury. The prosecution could still decide to prosecute him again though in the case of a hung jury.

LOL... this made me laugh today.

Your nonsense has been contained.

Permanently.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I honestly hope that Minneapolis does the right thing and defunds the police as they have on the ballot today.

I live far enough away to not be affected by this change and would love to see it in action.

Do the right thing today, Minneapolis.

My guess is because Twitter and the real world are usually drastically different realities. Mainly because only one is actual reality.

This is correct. To expand, what a lot of people didn't understand is that included in the proposal was a city council power grab, that would take oversight of the police away from the mayor and give it to the city council. The city council in Minneapolis is not a group I'd want to give more power to. Besides, the system already leaves very little power in the hands of the mayor. I think if they had stuck to the issue without the power grab attemp it may have passed, because the Minneapolis police do pretty much suck, and some sort of change is in order. I live in St Paul where I think our city council and mayor function way better.

I feel like a lot of people keep forgetting that one of the guys killed by Rittenhouse was a pehophile. He was a convicted child rapist. I'm glad that dude is dead.

The other guy was a wife beater. He tried to choke his spouse to death. I'm glad that dude is dead.

The third guy that didn't die was once arrested for being intoxicated with a firearm. Okay, he made a dumb choice. Luckily he survived.

And wasn't it the 3rd guy that drew a weapon on Rittenhouse to shoot him at point blank range?
