Thanks for actually adding context and an assessment. Sorry you're getting downvoted by people that don't like it
Uh huh.
Did they post their source for their claims and unfounded assumptions of due process?
I'm not, and the poster doesn't seem to be, saying this isn't some sort of retaliation for saying Charlie Kirk did some bad things. The Trump admin does do plenty of that. But a lot of posts are saying it's definitive when it's not. At the very least, based on how the law seems to be still enforced, they need some sort of pretext. The poster at least takes some time to address that instead of screaming loudly with certainty about an uncertain situation where we have pretty partial information.
Slightly off topic, I went looking for court documents instead of news articles but failed to find anything.
I actually find it kind of fascinating. There are loads of people in this thread defending this guy and saying that he's being victimized by a corrupt system, all the while not noticing that he is a retired cop who spent his career as part of that corrupt system and who almost certainly sent more than a few people to jail for a couple of months on charges as bogus as these seem to be. That sounds like it might be karmic payback to me.
Personally, I'm just keeping an open mind and suspecting that there is more to the story based on the rather large bail.
Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if the loud mob is right but it seems like we're all guessing with not much info. Agreed that it's a bit fascinating. I'm definitely not upset with my decision to leave the US
