    By all means do. I can’t wait to hear this man’s story.

      Wouldn’t that be something? If the people collectively decided, “Nah this is fine. This was reasonable.”

      I doubt it but that would be beautiful.

        Could even stop before it gets that far. It’ll be difficult to convene a jury with so many candidates dismissed for saying “nah, fuck health insurance CEOs”.

      That moment when the Healthcare CEOs realize that no jury will convict their murderers in a country with more guns than people.

        I wouldn’t rely on nullification. I instead think this guy deserves a full pardon. We pardon domestic abuse victims who kill their abusers, is this situation really so different?

          There’s no one part of the system we should rely on. What I say I do so with hope in the full knowledge that we’re likely to see the corruption re-assert itself.

        Yup, this is my concern. They’ll claim he resisted during their no-knock raid, and they had no choice but to execute him in his bed. And all of the body footage will be “accidentally” scrubbed, or every single officer “forgot” to turn their body cams on.

        “The assassin didn’t resist” is going to be the new “Epstein didn’t kill himself.”

      I think they can just move it as a judgement as a matter of law, or whatever else rule applies. It was a pretty clear case afterall
