Yup, I guess if you define rural as "not urban" regardless of whether there are any people or not - then Wyoming certainly would be rural. Of course you might have trouble even finding twelve people for a jury let alone a courthouse.Using population and where they live is probably the most accurate if you're trying to measure cultural influences of rural life. But, if you're trying to decide where the least likely to encounter woke ideas, I'd say Wyoming is a safe bet. That county where the gas station was I pissed in, OMG. That was the most rural place I think I've ever been. You could see forever it seemed. Not a house or building in sight other than the gas station. I have no idea why they stuck a gas station right there other than that it may have been somewhere close to the center of the county. I'm pretty sure that wherever the county seat was, that'd probably be a safe place to hold a trial.
Judging from what happened in Louisville (I don't want to extrapolate that to the whole nation), there were several dynamics at play. First, there's BLM's militant leadership. In Louisville, that included a very racist woman, who went around to local businesses demanding they pay a percentage of "reparations" if they didn't have 23% black representation as employees. And threatened those businesses if they didn't comply.You need to take off your racism goggles. BLM is not a skin color. There are white people burning and looting as well. As jamil noted, white people are confronted (road blocks or sidewalks) and asked if they support the cause. I have not heard of any black people being confronted. But I think most decent people black or white are staying away from downtown Louisville.
Where did anyone say BLM is only black people?Well hell, that’s some serious privilege. I could sworn the guys Rittenhouse put an end too would’ve been described as BLM supporters, but hell, I guess not. It only apply when the people are Black. We doing the one drop/one person rule to determine which protests are considered BLM?
That's called race baiting. You've seen it before and you'll see it againWhere did anyone say BLM is only black people?
I think that a reasonable verdict could be reached on 2nd degree manslaughter. It's not a heavy bar if you believe that Floyd's death was at least partially aided by Chauvin's actions. The paramedic's testimony was a pretty effective indictment on the officers lack of action. Also the transcript is pretty damning.I got the same thing from the portions of the trial I watched. The only way I see a conviction is jury nullification in favor of the mob.
Yeah, that's pretty insane. Even when the guy they're looking for is wanted for murdering one of them, they try to prevent the police from doing their job and catching a murder suspect.Mob in Louisville yesterday

The James/Younger Gang did meet their demise in Northfield, MN.I don't think they would have the best luck in rural Minnesota.
Depending on how you define ruralness, Minnesota is about in the middle of all states in rurality while Wyoming is less rural than average.
Holy Hell, people are so freaking stupid. They really should just break out the fire hoses on these idiots.Mob in Louisville yesterday

Didn’t they change their training after this incident? Sounds like he followed policy, and afterwards they decided to change it.No, because the officer wasn’t violating use of force policy during the interaction.
I was just going back through this thread and I don't think I replied to this specifically, but yes. Some BLM people have threatened white people in Louisville. It's not all BLM people doing it. And it's not uniquely black BLM people doing it. It's the militant BLM people made up of activist terrorists.So BLM people are there posing a threat, to the good white folks in Louisville, like JCSR stated?
And they still celebrate that every year, I went to college there. This seems kind of ironic to me but at that time they actually had a Jesse James Bank.The James/Younger Gang did meet their demise in Northfield, MN.
^THIS^I think that a reasonable verdict could be reached on 2nd degree manslaughter. It's not a heavy bar if you believe that Floyd's death was at least partially aided by Chauvin's actions. The paramedic's testimony was a pretty effective indictment on the officers lack of action. Also the transcript is pretty damning.
Officer Lane at one point asked if they should put Floyd on his side. He said that he thinks he's gonna pass out. Chavin said, no he's staying put. People in the crowd started saying they don't seen him breathing and demanded that the officers at least check his pulse. Officer Lane tried to find a pulse and couldn't. Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd even after the paramedics arrived. They had to tell him to get off so they could check his pulse. Probably the most effective statement the jurors heard is when the defense attorney asked him if he asked the police to begin chest compressions he said, he shouldn't have to. The police had plenty of chances to assess the real condition of Floyd, and at least officer Lane was in tune to what was happening. Chauvin declined.
So if they vote guilty on 2nd degree manslaughter, I think that's a reasonable verdict. I think the defense has mitigated a lot of the damning testimony with establishing reasonable doubt. So it could reasonably go either way. But I strongly suspect the verdict will not be reasonably reached. I think it is unlikely a Minneapolis jury made up of people who are not Chauvin's peers by any stretch, will be reasonable about their verdict. And the few who are will probably be intimidated by activist terrorists.
I’m just not seeing the other 2 charges sticking if it’s an honest jury. The defense has had some key wins. But regardless I think that the media on both sides is not covering this trial fairly.^THIS^
The prosecution has made a very strong case that Chauvin's actions substantially caused Floyd's death and reduced his pre-existing medical conditions and drug levels to "fragile egg"... IANAL, but it basically boils down to even if the egg is fragile, if you're the one who cracks it, it's on you... you better have done everything by the book and with reasonable care. There is 9 1/2 minutes on video showing this was not the case.
And, I think there is also a pretty strong case made for Murder 3, depraved indifference... continuing after another officer questioned if a recovery position was needed, continuing after the other officer found no pulse, continuing after the EMTs arrived, etc.
(note, it's an open question before the MN Supreme Court whether Murder 3 applies to actions directed at a single person versus the public writ large, but currently, it does).
Having said all that, the defense has not had it's turn yet... but IMO it's a very uphill battle at this point to get to reasonable doubt. We'll have to wait and see.
Wyoming’s least populated county has >2K population.Yup, I guess if you define rural as "not urban" regardless of whether there are any people or not - then Wyoming certainly would be rural. Of course you might have trouble even finding twelve people for a jury let alone a courthouse.
If it’s true, and if it’s proven, sure. I’m not convinced that TPTB want that. I get the feeling that the trial is just the motions one has to endure before the guilty verdict is rendered. That seems to be how the alphabet letter networks are reporting it. And that seems to be the sentiment of most people I encounter.I have read that BLM knows the jurors and have been threatening them. If that is the case shouldn't this be a mistrial for jury tampering?
