Had Maxine kept her mouth shut, a simple conviction without a strong basis for a mistrial on appeal would cut short the mayhem in the streets. A pause in the bedlam is not good for the left, whose entire existence and justification is predicated on being the party of racializing everything — especially relationships between black communities and white cops. On the other hand, a conviction accompanied by overt threats of violence reeking of jury intimidation, from a political figure, keeps alive the likelihood of a mistrial on appeal and could extend the rioting all the way to the 2022 elections.

...but you have to ask, what is the end goal?

Taking power away from the states. The same goal they've had for decades.

White people are too afraid to stand up and say enough is enough. Another reason they are cracking down so hard on the Jan 6th people.

You have to wonder if anything will push whites over the edge at this point. We all have much to lose, and that's what they're relying on. I don't think there will be a mass uprising until there have been enough examples made of individual whites.

It really is hard to say if there will be breaking point. Perhaps it is cowardly, but I'm in the same boat as many other whites. I want to keep my head down long enough to quit working and retreat to a small coastal town where I can sail and fish. I don't want to deal with this shit.

Same here, except for the fishing. I'm very close to taking that next step. Heading south to a liberty- and 2A-friendly state to live near the coast and be able to keep working until I decide I don't want to anymore.

So perhaps if it gets to a point where that will never be an option for us, no light at the end of the tunnel, we look at each other other and say, "well Wtf are we doing this for?".
