I agree with the guy’s message, but all of y’all are having a hard time understanding how the legal system is supposed to work. Justice is supposed to be blind and proceed according to the law. If you don’t like the law, that’s where, you, as a citizen, and through your legislature, amend/create those laws. That is why it is important to watchdog your legislators. They are the ones that are allowing this shit to happen in the first place. Am I glad he was aquiited, absolutely. But the judge wasn’t wrong either. Man, I love that fucking line, “Never again is now”.
