    You are speaking with a forked tongue. The bottom line is do you believe he got a fair trial or not.

    "You seem quite uninformed by your own admissions..."

    I didn't see much mention of the trial, in the news. I was/am curious about the facts of the case.

    "...maybe even intentionally?"

    I do wonder at the dearth of reporting on what, I think, should have been a high-profile trial.

    You might be on to something.

    ".Why comment on the topic then?"

    I wanted to.

    "Almost all American white supremacist leaders support any Democrat over any Republican for obvious reasons."

    I'd like to see yo try and document that obvious lie!

    I have to agree with this honestly. I think "hate crimes" is a pretty crappy designation, and I have real problems with punishing people what they think.

    The DP remains the party of deadly institutional racism in America. DP run urban Hell Holes reveal the New DP's program for the destruction of the black American culture, community and family.

    Do you really believe that all white voters for McCain were white Supremacists? Here is another example of how white supremacists really feel about Republicans:

    "The corporations are running things now, so it's not going to make much difference who's in there, but McCain would be much worse. He's a warmonger. He's a scary, scary person--more dangerous than Bush. Obama, according to his book, Dreams Of My Father, is a racist and I have no problem with black racists. I've got the quote right here: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's white race.'“

    "You are speaking with a forked tongue."


    OK. Whatever...

    "The bottom line is do you believe he got a fair trial or not."

    I don't hold any belief on the fairness of the trial. I don't know, think, or believe one way or the other.

    How can I?

    Do I believe that there have been unfair trials? Do I believe that there have been fair trials?

    My answer to both is: yes.

    I have no idea where this trial sits on that scale. My hope is that justice was served.

    --------------------------------------------------

    I am amazed by those who are apparently having difficulty with this position. It seems to be an utterly simple concept, to me.

    I'm not sure that First Degree murder is appropriate (I don't think he woke up that morning planning to kill that woman), but murder is definitely appropriate and I hope this guy never gets out of prison. I disagree with separate federal hate crime charges--it's a waste of money, and IMHO, it violates double jeopardy.

    Of course there have been unfair trials, the difficulty folks are having with your premise is you a questioning a trial you claim you know nothing about.

    I just provided 2 examples for you. Esquire was surprised when they went to the trouble of actually investigating the political preferences racist orgs.

    “If recent polls are to be believed, white voters favor John McCain over Barack Obama by nearly ten percentage points, but the McCain and Obama camps probably haven't factored in the following fact: In an informal Esquire survey, three out of four white supremacists prefer Obama, while McCain is the clear favorite among black nationalists.”

    I have been reading Hannah Arendt's On Totalitarianism which examined the racialism of Nazi Germany and discovered that it was difficult for outsiders to understand such structured insanity.

    "What strikes the outside observer as a "piece of prodigious insanity" is nothing
    but the consequence of the absolute primacy of the movement not only over the state,
    but also over the nation, the people and the positions of power held by the rulers
    themselves. The reason why the ingenious devices of totalitarian rule, with
    their absolute and unsurpassed concentration of power in the hands of a
    single man, were never tried out before, is that no ordinary tyrant was ever
    mad enough to discard all limited and local interests — economic, national,
    human, military — in favor of a purely fictitious reality in some indefinite
    distant future."
    THE ORIGINS OF TOTALITARIANISM, By Hannah Arendt, Meridian Books, Cleveland, New York, 1958.

    Why shouldn't a person have concerns?

    The dude was tried, convicted, and hung in the court of the media-driven public opinion.

    I hope that the jury was able to rise above the prevailing climate and render a just verdict.

    "white supremist", just as "far right" is one of those terms that defies accurate definition. It is thrown out by the Left and their media masters to describe anyone they with who they disagree. Is a "white supremist" one who argues the superiority of Western Culture? or someone who hates people of other races? What are they? I think a true hater of non-whites may be more rare than transgendered people.

    I would not be so sure about that.

    These are the same people who made up the "Bush dead enders" ten years ago.

    All of them have tri corner hats in their closets, next to their MAGA hats.

    They'll all fall, and fall in line, for the next right wing public relations campaign after Trump is gone.

    Limbaugh, Gingrich, O Liely, Hammity, Trump. The far right wing has a real passion for demogogues.

    I am sure there are racists in the RP. Nevertheless, the DP remains the only party of institutional racism in America. Judge the tree by its fruits and the DP's fruit is poisonous. See Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore ... for how systemic racism really works.

    How long has it been since Republicans ran any of our cities which have been transformed in the Hell Holes dedicated to the destruction of the black American family, community and culture?

    "Baltimore’s homicide rate is at a record level—higher than Chicago’s and Detroit’s. The city recorded 342 homicides in 2017. At the same time, the police force is struggling to fix serious problems stemming from its long history of corruption and systemic racial bias against Black residents, detailed in a scathing 2016 Justice Department report."
