the biggest problem with the right is unrepentant libtards like tim pool and rizoma school are allowed to be thought leaders from official or large platforms.

The fact is that whenever there is a racial angle in a high profile case like this, the verdict is decided during voir dire. The facts of the case simply do not matter. As always, because of the usual suspects, the deck is stacked against the right in this process. It's a depressing topic.

What's more is that this phenomenon is not new by any means. Batson v. Kentucky showed that prosecutors fully understand that they need to keep blacks off juries in trials for black criminal defendants, and that case was decided 37 years ago. I would say that demographics for jurors that should always be struck has expanded from blacks generally to most women and basically everyone under the age of 35.

Serious prosecutors basically need to heavily discriminate along race and gender lines if they expect to secure convictions against black defendants and voir dire is 95% of the trial. It's trivially easy to overcome Batson challenges if you have any sort of rhetorical acumen. That said, serious prosecutors are being systematically drummed out of the profession in many jurisdictions and are being replaced by pieces of shit who want to see verdicts like this one. It's unclear whether the prosecutors in this case gave a fuck about locking these scholars up, but it sure doesn't look like they fought tooth and nail.

What gets me is the defense attorney saying that he hopes the victim's family gets "some kind of closure" after this abomination of a verdict. Yeah motherfucker, I'm sure this kid's parents are just going to nod sagely when they think about their son's murderer walking free after 2 years. What a tragic joke our criminal justice system has become.

This comment is a great example of the eloquence of WRATH.

The Batson decision is literally gobbledygook. Basically, you're still allowed your peremptory challenges but not if using them gives the Elena Kagans of the world the ick. At least Thurgood Marshall was honest and consistent when he advocated for getting rid of peremptory challenges altogether.

It will be interesting to see how voir dire evolves to accommodate social media. As the Boomers die off, there will be less and less people without a social media presence to select from. Obviously anyone who posted the black square in honor of St. Floyd OD'ing should be deemed unfit to sit on any jury.

Tim Pool started as a leftist. He was always a leftist, and much like Joe Rogan, he holds those same beliefs in his heart to this very day. Just because he got red pilled doesn’t mean he’s actually on the right. He’s just a red pilled leftist that is super butthurt that he was tricked by so many left wing lies over the years so now he’s getting his revenge by going after them.

...and for those reasons, he and the content he produces are an effective and needed neo-counterculture voice. Check it out sometime.

I agree. I’m glad he exists. He’s not an enemy, he’s a friend.

He’s a good stepping stone for disaffected leftists that feel uncomfortable continuing the left wing revolution but aren’t yet ready to abandon their tribe and enter the village of outgroup. Russel Brand, Joe Rogan, Glenn Greenwald, etc also serve this purpose

Pool is terrible. Like others have said, he's a hardcore fence-sitter. He also swatted himself for clout. I really wish right-wingers would stop looking to libs like Pool for acceptance.

Hasn’t he been swatted like 5+ times? I don’t think he’s doing it himself. He is pretty terrible though. He’s not right wing and he’s not very smart or well read. He just likes the sound of his own voice and he holds a huge butthurt grudge against his former leftist allies that tried to cancel him. Hes cosplaying as a deplorable (I’m totally into guns and I live in the woods of West Virginia dude!) and He’s going full scorched earth in his quest for revenge against the left, which is fun to see, but he’s not someone the right needs as an “intellectual thought leader”.

Assuming Pool is not just a paid shill, him and people who resonate with him come up with these whacky theories as a form of repressing the idea that many black men can and do commit hate crimes against whites. It shatters the last remaining bits of their 90's liberal worldview. Many of us probably had to cross that bridge a long time ago, although we didn't cling so bitterly.

Finally people are starting to figure out what Tim pools all about

Pool was responding in a news discussion, typical of his show, with the details and context available at the time. You wrote this whole article just to attack Pool? Hmm.

The facts of the case have been available for more than a year and he was responding to Greer restating those details. It’s not a mystery what happened, either you reject the obviously fake self-defense story or you support it (for reasons unknown). He was being dishonest just like you’re being dishonest now. Eat shit
