Legalized judicial racism…

Nice idea…block one of the top conservative posters because you keep getting dominated on the board.

 

The guy owns the libbies on TooHot. What’s not to love…

 

I seem to remember "protesters" rushing secret service barriers in front of the White House back in May & June of 2020, I believe Trump was rushed to the basement for safety reasons, but of course we can't call that an insurrection.

 

Yeah, when you state "research-useless," you out yourself as being in serious about the topic. Research is important because it proves an issue across a system rather than anecdotally.

Also, the word you are looking for is "cite," since you are against the bastardization of the English language.

 

I'm talking about the herd of morons that invaded the Capitol for the stated purpose of hanging Mike Pence, and stopping the confirmation process of the new president. The fact that they executed their plan with cartoonish ineptitude in no way mitigates their intentions and actions.

 

It was a mixed bag, which is a reason why there was such a huge range of outcomes. Many were at the lawful rally and weren't arrested because they didn't break the law. Others breached the barricades but didn't commit violence. Some got caught up in the moment and were fighting cops and threatening the media there. Some did have a plan, and they were communicating leading up to and during the event with a stash of firearms nearby and waiting on a signal, such as Trump declaring martial law.

 

I didn't say it was a good plan. There was prior coordination on social media, a "call to arms," if you will. The participants were united in a goal--"Stop the Steal," even if the execution was disjointed.

 

Tarrio (Proud Boys), Rhodes (Oath Keepers), Gracia (Latinos For Trump) and others totally not meeting and planning in DC on January 5th.

To really drive home how much this is totally not a plan, Tarrio told Gracia he had left no evidence on his phone or laptop “…so you don’t have to worry.”

“Worry” about totally not having planned anything, presumably.

 

Each of the authors has a Ph.D. in criminology. They have spent decades of their life understanding crime and the justice system.

What you are describing is individual-level variance. The problem is that you are saying that you can't study an issue with individual-level variance, when the reality is that you can only study issues with variance statistically. A regression classifies variance into several categories: variance in the dependent variable (in this case, a variety of measures of criminal sanctions) that is associated with changes in the variable of interest (in this case, race), variance that is associated with other control variables, and variance that is unexplained. By your reckoning, we couldn't do things like capture unemployment, because there is individual-level variance (some people were employed both months, some people went from employed to unemployed, some people went from unemployed to employed, and some people stayed unemployed). By your logic, we would be unable to study unemployment due to all the individual-level variance. But that is, obviously, untrue.

That isn't grammar. It is word choice. Similar to how upset you were about people using a common synonym (insurrection) for the word that you find correct (sedition).

 

Yeah, some physically breached the police barrier (or windows, doors, of the Capitol). Others walked through or climbed over the breaches created by others but didn't personally cause damage. I believe some in the latter group were charged with relatively minor offenses such as trespass, entering and remaining in a restricted area, and/or disorderly conduct. I know at least one guy was convicted but not sure if he appealed.
