Yes most likely he get's off.

It's a bit sketchy how it's worded on Wikipedia. From the Armstrong report : The report concluded that the five men whose convictions had been vacated had "most likely" participated in the beating and rape of the jogger and that the "most likely scenario" was that "both the defendants and Reyes assaulted her, perhaps successively."[98] The report said Reyes had most likely "either joined in the attack as it was ending or waited until the defendants had moved on to their next victims before descending upon her himself, raping her and inflicting upon her the brutal injuries that almost caused her death."[98] What compelled those guys to make incriminating statements BEFORE interrogation and even later confess? Now they're all heroes in your eyes.

12 free citizens...in Manhattan. Not exactly friendly territory for Republicans. Juries are not infallible, nor are judges. They are capable of doing something out of spite for a defendant. OJ got off because that jury wanted to stick it to the white man.

You don't think that countries pay to access Joe? https://www.wsj.com/articles/house-republicans-report-hunter-biden-james-comer-joe-biden-family-china-c0c506c7 House Oversight Chair James Comer’s staff report shows in detail that Hunter had extensive dealings with unsavory foreign actors. This yielded millions of dollars for Biden family members via a web of shell companies that would be hard to untangle without subpoena power. Why so much complexity? The 36-page report shows Biden family members and business associates created nearly 20 separate entities shortly before and during Joe Biden’s Vice Presidency. The entities with obscure names—Hudson West III, Hudson West V, Owascu, JBB SR INC—transferred cash from foreign entities. Bank records show that more than $10 million was delivered to Biden family members, associates and companies from these foreign entities, and in curious ways.

I personally don't think Joe ever entered politics to serve the American public. I think he got into it purely for personal financial gain and by personal I mean him and his family.

I remember that case from way back. I recall there was a lot of outrage at the time against the suspects. Not because of race, but because of the brutality of the crime but as usual, it ended being all about race. Did you know that one of the accused in that case is now a city councilor in New York? https://anncoulter.com/2023/11/15/central-park-rape-the-secret-files1/ Yusef Salaam, Korey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana and Antron McCray. Here’s just some of the evidence against The Five: — When Santana was being driven to the precinct house for general mayhem, he blurted out: “I had nothing to do with the rape. All I did was feel the woman’s tits.” At this point, the jogger’s body hadn’t been found yet. The police knew nothing about any rape. — Another boy, picked up with Richardson, told the police that he knew who did “the murder,” naming McCray. Richardson concurred, saying, “Yeah. That’s who did it.” Again, the police were unaware of any rape or murder. The next morning, Richardson pointed to the 102nd Street transverse, telling officers, “This is where we got her.” — Dennis Commedo, part of the larger group wilding that night, told the police that, when he ran into Richardson, he had said, “We just raped somebody.” — Two of Wise’s friends said that the next day, he told them, “You heard about that woman that was beat up and raped in the park last night? That was us!” — Another boy arrested for some of the other attacks, but not the rape, told detectives (on videotape) that he overheard Santana and a friend laughing about how they’d “made a woman bleed.” — A number of the youths brought in the night of the attack implicated Salaam (our newly elected councilman) in the jogger’s rape. Orlando Escobar, for example, told police he saw Salaam (our newly elected councilman) and others leaving the 102nd Street transverse where the jogger was raped. — Blood stains were found on Salaam’s jacket. (He’s our newly elected councilman.) — Salaam (our newly elected councilman) confessed to the rape after the detective questioning him said that fingerprints had been found on the jogger’s clothing. Why would he do that — unless he knew the prints might be his? Four of The Five gave videotaped confessions, at least three of them in the presence of parents or guardians. Defense attorneys spent weeks attacking the confessions as “coerced,” but two multicultural juries and the trial judge concluded that the confessions were voluntary. Taking the other side is some bimbo with a Netflix documentary, on the basis of no evidence whatsoever. Moreover, recall that when The Five confessed, no one knew whether the jogger would emerge from her coma and be able to identify her attackers.

I think you are aware that it just isn't limited to Hamas. Maybe the actual religion that's in question? Both of these groups are pretty aggressive and often display the same in-your-face attitude towards others. These kinds of confrontations are kind of a dilemma for progressives. They are 100% on board with everything in the lgbt++ agenda, but at the same time, they are also rather supportive of aggressive Islam and are willing to turn a blind eye to their intense hatred of Jews for one thing.

You literally just used the Uncle Tom insult against Tim Scott and Clarence Thomas and you have the gall to accuse me of implying blacks are stupid to support Democrats? If anyone is clearly racist towards blacks, it's white liberals. How demeaning is this prominent white liberal?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13486293/Pro-Palestine-protest-Philadelphia-pride-genocide.html Now just imagine if this was in Gaza. You were saying?...

Yes, somewhere along the line, the original meaning has been totally perverted and today it's use is especially nasty. That is the intent when anyone uses that term against a black person. The Democrats still feel that they should rightfully OWN the black vote. And to an extent, they kind of do own the black vote. Blacks don't really seem to be able to point to exactly how they are better off because of Democrats. More single black mothers? Fewer fathers in black homes? What's good about that? What's truly shameful is how conservative blacks get treated by other blacks. No debate, no meaningful dialogue, just the usual Uncle Tom-sellout type of insult.

From Wikipedia : Uncle Tom is the title character of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin.[1] The character was seen by many readers as a ground-breaking humanistic portrayal of a slave, one who uses nonresistance and gives his life to protect others who have escaped from slavery.

And how about those that send weapons into Gaza? Hamas isn't able to conjure all those bombs and rockets out of thin air. Iran plays a major role there. I'll probably regret asking this, but how do you feel about Iran and their role in sponsoring terrorism?

Gee...I think I detect some indications of hatred in that statement.😉

Out of curiosity, can you name which dictators you think Trump is similar to, equal to, or worse than?

I think conservatives dislike Joe. We think he has displayed cognitive decline and he is corrupt. But it doesn't come close to the same intensity of those against Trump. On the flip side, progressives have UNBRIDLED INTENSE HATRED for Trump. If we believe the rhetoric coming from the left, Trump is without question the most heinous, vicious dictator that the world has ever seen.

Don't you think it's rather troubling that someone runs their campaign with a promise of going after one specific person?

By your standards, you must think the police in Canada's largest city are bigots too. https://www.tps.ca/organizational-chart/specialized-operations-command/detective-operations/investigative-services/homicide/most-wanted/ There are countless disruptions all over the Western world by pro-Palestinian supporters. Who knows how many are actual Palestinians but without question there must be some. By comparison, how many disruptions are caused by Ukrainian refugees? Why is that?

I also said Letitia James campaigned on getting Trump and you didn't address that. I find it curious. She talks about the usual stuff, too many black and brown people in jail (because they committed crimes!) but she wants THOSE criminals back out on the street. But by golly, she is going to GET TRUMP! And she did.

More of the great Alvin Bragg's record on prosecutions: In January last year, Bragg reduced armed robbery charges to a misdemeanor for an ex-convict who threatened a drugstore owner with a knife. Last summer, Bragg freed a 16-year-old suspect who was allegedly filmed beating a New York City police officer. While Bragg has gone soft on violent criminals, the Manhattan D.A. tried to throw the book at a bodega owner who stabbed an ex-convict in a clear act of self-defense caught on tape. Bragg initially sought to charge then-61-year-old Jose Alba with second-degree murder and sent the defendant to Riker’s Island for five days. The case was eventually dropped following public outcry, and Alba has since moved to the Dominican Republic. According to The New York Times, major crime spiked 22 percent during Bragg’s first year. Bragg’s tenure has resulted in a city of rampant lawlessness overseen by a prosecutor laser-focused on political prosecutions. Many New Yorkers are thrilled about this Trump conviction as their city becomes more unsafe under these lefty prosecutors. Go figure.

https://thefederalist.com/2023/03/21/politico-jumps-to-make-a-folk-hero-out-of-left-wing-prosecutor-targeting-trump/ When campaigning for one of the highest-profile prosecutor offices in the country, Bragg, a former federal prosecutor, pointed to his past pursuit of Trump’s prosecution as a primary pillar of his resume. “Bragg often reminded voters on the campaign trail that he helped sue the Trump administration ‘more than a hundred times’ as a deputy in the New York state attorney general’s office,” Reuters reported in 2021. Bragg’s own prominent supporters amplified the attorney’s ability to pursue Trump in court as a reason to vote for him. Bragg also ran for his current office with heavy financial support from left-wing billionaire financier George Soros. A super PAC backed by Soros, Color of Change, pledged to bankroll Bragg’s campaign with a seven-figure sum in the spring of 2021. Soon after the cash infusion, the committee pulled back $500,000 of the donation when Bragg faced allegations of sexual misconduct. While Bragg pursues Trump’s arrest, the district attorney has unleashed violent criminals on New York City streets by refusing to seek jail time for robbery, assault, and gun possession cases. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed last year, Soros admitted to backing candidates who promised to be soft on crime, branded as “reform prosecutors.” Bragg has held up to the pledge. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/letitia-james-vowed-to-target-trump-promise-kept/ar-BB1iRzUz New York Attorney General Letitia James had promised for years during her campaign to challenge and prosecute former President Donald Trump.

So far, Hunter is doing very well. The presidents son was rather delinquent in paying his fair share of taxes..no big deal, they slow walk most of the charges against and allow the statute of limitations to run out. Lying on the gun application form, a felony, so far no real penalty for that either.

You guys are the same people that scream that there are too many black and brown people in jail because of bias in the justice system and in juries. But in the case of Trump, where they turn a misdemeanor (statute of limitations passed) into a felony through what is often described as a 'novel interpretation' of the law, you guys see nothing wrong with that. Hillary just got a small fine for her campaign finance violation from the FEC. The FEC chose not to fine Trump, instead various state prosecutors literally campaigned on getting him, and they did.

Trump's team was in negotiations about the documents although in my humble opinion he should have just returned them as he surely should have known that he would be treated differently than Biden. Robert Hur did not charge Biden because he felt the president was too 'elderly'. And the White House was critical of that assessment by Hur even though their man got off with no repercussions. Just as Hillary committed a felony...and was once again let off. They didn't want this case to interfere in the election. Gosh, no double standard there!

I'll remind you that Biden also had classified documents for many years...from the time he was a Senator. He should never have had them, yet old Joe did not get charged. Is he above the law?

What you neglected to mention about Hunter is what the DOJ tried to slip through the system, his unprecedented sweetheart deal. That judge stated, she had never seen anything like it before. With a different judge, or certainly a Democrat judge, that deal would certainly have gone through. In this upcoming trial, Hunter is facing the same DOJ that tried to coddle him before.
