    Good luck finding a jury to convict him of jaywalking.

    Some homicides are self defence.

      We’re in a pretty nice bubble here on Lemmy and the fediverse. There’s a LOT of bootlickers who happily want him convicted

        Vigilante justice only feels nice when you agree with the Vigilante. The curse of internet bubbles is that people feel like everyone agrees. Bubbles build extreme values and a lack of understanding of other peoples values.

        You become right. Others become bootlickers.

          Sometimes the consequence for doing a good thing is that people like that you did a good thing, legality be damned.

      For that very reason… He will never see a jury. This will be decided by ONE judge…

      Who has already written his poinion

        6th amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial. The only way he doesn’t see a jury is if he waives that right.
