(2,447 posts)Why didn't enybuddy tell him that before he went and murdered folks? He thought he was supportin' the "no-consequences" party! There goes his vote, Trumpanzees!

(3,248 posts)which from everything I've seen it looks like they did, some police need to be in jail.

(6,265 posts)lots and lots of them in this country. Help needed to be murdered in the streets while protesting inequality and injustice, call a Rittenhouse, he'll come up to you threaten you and then shoot you if you respond.

Moonrise Kingdom = Best. Movie. Ever.
frazzled
(18,402 posts)And I apologize to Wes Anderson. The comment was based on look and style alone: earnest and geeky bespectacled young scout. Only one was going for love, the current one for hate.
Loved Moonrise Kingdom as well, and Grand Hotel Budapest. Always a quirky visual delight.

(3,635 posts)Most of these violent acts are being perpetrated by RW 'false flag' types, trying to pin it on BLM and antiracist activists.

Hes given permission for these nutcases to run rampant.
SergeStorms
(19,204 posts)and now he's going to be in prison for a LOOOOOOOOOONG time. It'll give him some time to think about people like Donald Trump, and how he was used, and cast away, for the likes of a coward and bully like Trump. He'll be surprised how quickly all of those he was trying to impress, forget all about him now. Have a great time in prison you mindless little dullard.

(3,248 posts)Is it possible for Trump to pardon people in advance? Like, could he pardon a whole bunch of militia idiots to do his bidding in advance of any crimes they might commit on his behalf?
I googled "can a president pardon in advance" and this is what I got:
"A federal pardon can be issued prior to the start of a legal case or inquiry, prior to any indictments being issued, for unspecified offenses, and prior to or after a conviction for a federal crime."
Doesn't sound too good, but doesn't State law come into play somewhere along the line?

(6,477 posts)Trump cannot pardon people for state charges.
Mekonsrevenge
(32 posts)Depriving of civil rights, terrorism and maybe illegally transporting weapons across a state line. Murder is a state crime. Of course, Trump could wire up the killer's cell so he could get the other magats shooting and hollering..

CaptainTruth
(6,609 posts)...but only for federal crimes, not state.
DallasNE
(7,403 posts)Ford pardoned Nixon before Nixon was charged, so yes. But as others have said, homicide is a State crime and not eligible for a federal pardon.

(45,563 posts)they will never admit it no matter how many times it happens.
Frankly, I'm impressed we don't have DUers insisting that he doesn't have any political agenda and is therefore not a domestic terrorist. It's great to see DUers getting woke.

(36,962 posts)The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov cocktails, guns, or vandalism tools, pretending to be protesters.
ancianita
(36,160 posts)Don't confuse antifa with any white supremacist rioters who are against black people's 1A rights. These people are "back the blue" anti-protester fascists who don't want equality for black people under the law. In the law and order world, they want fascist "order," not rule of law.
If you're anti-fascist, you're antifa, too.
keithbvadu2
(36,962 posts)Yep. That's why I use the semi-quotes.

(5,027 posts)Yep, no surprise there. Can't believe Republicans are trying to defend this guy. He shot and murdered two people. You don't get to murder one unarmed person and then kill another unarmed person for trying to stop you and claim self defense.
Also, I would like to know who gave this terrorist an AR-15, as it is a class I felony in the state of Wisconsin for anyone to give or loan a person under 18 a deadly weapon.
