      They went on to monetize the shit out of their hate crime with several fox news appearances.

      Absolutely garbage people and a failure of the justice system.

          As he should have. I live in this shit hole state and it’s a very small victory that he didn’t win.

          I also read an article detailing a bit about his life and he’s an absolute piece of shit. He sued his sibling(s) to get the full inheritance when their parents died, and he cut off his other family from it once he got it.

            Hello fellow Missourian! I’ve been planning to move away to be closer to friends, but I want to stick it out for the rest of this year so I can vote for abortion and hopefully tell the Republicans here to go fuck themselves in the process.

              I’ve been wanting to move away for a while. My brother lives in Vegas and he wants us to move out there to be closer to him, and I’m considering it.

      You might even call them “deplorables”.

        Don’t need to dehumanize them to describe how much they suck

          Deplorable: deserving strong condemnation, shockingly bad in quality.

          Describes exactly how bad they suck.

          Doesn’t say they are not human people, just that they’re the kind of human people we deplore.

            At the risk of more downvotes, all I was saying is that blanketing a whole group of people in a term such as “deplorables” is a slippery slope to not seeing them as human at all. Not saying they don’t deserve to be described that way.

              What an odd thing to say… For one, “slippery slope” is literally the name of the logical fallacy you’re doing here.

              But also, think about what you’re saying for a moment. How does accurately describing a person’s behavior dehumanize them? Are we just supposed to never acknowledge shitty behavior in others?

              It’s kind of the opposite… I’ve never heard an animal described as “deplorable”. I’m not sure they’re capable of it? So if anything, the term is humanizing.

              I’m pretty sure if you put out a giant basket and labeled it DEPLORABLES, you’d soon find it filled to the rim with people wearing MAGA hats who climbed in there by themselves.

            I understand that its a term people use to describe others and that its been used in recent history for these exact people but that doesn’t make it not dehumanizing. My point is just that there should be “people” following “deplorable.” Maybe I was caught up in the semantics of the phrase but it was on my mind seeing garbage people changed to simply deplorables.

          So either you don’t know what “deplorable” means, or what “dehumanize” means. It’s one or the other.

    Even with a “clean” record they still shouldn’t get their guns back. Ignoring all second amendment arguments just look at how they are holding their guns in the main picture. They are in no way trained or even given half assed knowledge in how to hold a fire arm.

      So having your booger hook on the bang switch of your tiny-ass gun while you and your mayonnaise husband cosplay as Rihanna and Shy Ronnie isn’t the right way to go about things, you’re saying?

    Judge Joseph P. Whyte wrote in an order Wednesday that the purpose of an expungement is to give people who have rehabilitated themselves a second chance

    Sounds like people should test that theory by having a protest in front of their house and see what they do.

    Also:

    City prosecutors and police opposed the expungements.

    Oh my God, these people are so horrible they found a way to unite cops and BLM protesters.

    Their records might be expunged, but their photos and what they did well never be.

    No criminal record, sure, tarnished reputation amongst the left leaning side of the internet will remain

    I feel like American gun control as it is now would actually be effective if the cops stopepd giving the white criminals their guns back, or in some cases actually take them away when the law says they should.

    You can put whatever law you want on the books, but if the PDs aren’t going to enforce it the way they haven’t been enforcing what we already have, its not gonna do shit. They’ll definitely enforce it on some types of people though.

      Police just arrest and kill people, they aren’t even required by law to protect people. Prosecutors and the judicial system enforce the law, or in this case, just ignore the laws for the well connected.

      What an odd comment. Literally no one but that MAGA couple cares if they get their exact same guns returned, this is about having their privilege to own firearms restored after pointing guns at peaceful protestors.
