Generating conflict and controversy is the goal.

If they pick someone that's not scum to rally around, then people agree with them.

If they pick a scumbag and lie about their case like here, you already had two camps ready to go at each other throats: the people who actually know what the hell that sick bastard did, and idiots who only see his race and immediately go 'oh no muh poor black victim das rassis'

I think there's also an element of sociopaths wanting to defend other sociopaths, if only to make their own behavior seem more acceptable.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
CNN journalist decides to virtue signal about how a black man was executed after being sentenced by a white jury. Also tries bringing Trump into it.



Now what's the problem with this I hear you ask? Well, said man was executed because of this:



Now I'm no expert but I have a sneaking suspicion that a black jury would also have ordered his execution.

From sucking off foreign war criminals and domestic ones to rapists.

A fine austere scholar for rapeology this one.

Tribal mentality. Cops and white people are bad, therefore anyone who opposes cops and white people must be good. Facts are less important than their Truth, so the details don't matter. This song and dance is not new, they've just gotten really fucking brazen about it since fighting Orange Hitler justifies anything.

Didn't happen in the US but in the UK.

Police actively had arrangements with the Grooming gangs or people who did such things and knew what they did and if there were reports about missing girls would approach them and ask for the girls to be returned but would ignore girls who did not have any reports about them but were in these people's hands.

And the police are in no way right wing. This is the left for you.

Doesn't the UK have the death penalty for heinous crimes?

In scathing ruling, judge dismisses Trump campaign's effort to overturn election results in Pennsylvania

A Pennsylvania federal court on Saturday denied President Donald Trump's request to block certification of the state's 2020 election results in order to give his lawyers time to find evidence to support their claims of a fraudulent election system and improper ballot counting.

In a scathing ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Brann criticized the lack of evidence the Trump campaign presented to support its argument to potentially disenfranchise every voter in the commonwealth who cast a ballot in the 2020 elections — nearly 7 million in all.

Brann noted that the less than two-week-old case developed a "tortured procedural history" that included a parade of lawyers for the campaign, shifting legal arguments to avoid clashing with a federal appeals court ruling, and an eleventh-hour motion to delay a hearing.

Brann wrote that the lone legal claim left standing — an alleged violation of the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause — was like "Frankenstein’s Monster ... haphazardly stitched together" from two legal theories.

...America is fucked, aren't we? 😭

All sorts of reasons one of which is that you never know if you are killing an innocent person for example.

At any rate, it doesn't matter as even if death penalty existed for the UK, it wouldn't be applied to these people cause they are protected
It depends. There is always a trial that determines guilt, and some people are proven to be guilty beyond doubt with DNA evidence, eyewitnesses, video, etc.

Sure, but then you get the argument about the value of human life and all.

Here is a video Sargon does about how a report the government will release about the grooming gangs may well be worthless cause of manipulation:

But some crimes cry out for justice. Many families would be brutalized by the knowledge their loved one's victimizer still lives and is cared for.

There's no decision yet. We will see what happens.

Doesn't matter to the left. Social harmony aka don't want to anger the muslims and left wing activists means to not let anything happen.

Sure. I don't expect much. UK is in the grip of the Left.

That case was the one Trump's team posted that statement about, thanking the judge for making the ruling, as as biased as it is, quickly, so they can move this to SCOTUS faster.

What the lower courts say right now isn't as important as what happens in the next few weeks as the big cases regarding election fraud via Dominion start being brought, and what happens in SCOTUS when everything finally ends up there.
