This is insane. If I were to join 7 others and kill someone, we'd all go to fucking prison regardless if only one of us did it. They try people all the time like this knowing damn well only one person could have done it, and they can justifiably do that because they are acting as a group. What kind of lazy dog shit call is this.

Preaching to the choir. That case was so well known here, that the judge had to be put on trial for it, and was HIMSELF found not guilty.

All of this happening, just as the first round of BLM protests were going on nationwide. I was STUNNED when our protests were just a bunch of guys in a public park grilling, and some people with microphones saying it was unjust.

I was expecting L.A. Riots levels of violence. You had Tamir Rice, this couple, the judge who got off not guilty, AND there was video leaked from a Cleveland jail where 6 corrections officers all took turns beating a woman who was handcuffed to a metal chair, with their clubs. And the audio you can hear her screaming, and them laughing. To top it off, she had mental health problems to the point where she wasn't even sure what was happening, much less why. And they just beat her.

Now in fairness, they did all get fired from that.

But also in fairness, that's usually just code for "get fired today to create a headline, get hired tomorrow in a suburb city".
