I am not arguing - at all - against the fundamental unfairness of the justice system, like at a foundational level. And I refuse to grant Trump even the favor of my hatred. He is as vile and wicked a creature as has ever plagued society.
But that ain’t what this is about.
If you were jailed tonight, justly or not, how many would rise up in your name?
There seems to be plenty of police available to shut down universities over Palestine protests, so it’s not a staffing issue to put him in jail and keep the building guarded. They have plenty of shields, pepper bullets, rubber bullets, teargas, etc in case his coward supporters go for a full January 6 here. So golly gee, I just can’t quite figure out what the issue is here. /s
In reality, I get it. The judge doesn’t want to be in history books for putting a major presidential candidate and ex president in jail, especially just a few months before the election, especially when he really can’t guarantee that person’s safety. Imagine what happens if trump dies in jail. If we could trust police to be public servants rather than an organized gang engaging in racketeering against the working class as directed by the owning class, then maybe we could see proper justice.
What’s maybe most frustrating is that we all see that the state can be swayed by assumed mob reactions from the right, yet the left doesn’t dare weaponize those same implied threatens that we can clearly see are effective. Most cops are cowards. We are angrier and better armed than most on the right can imagine, and the system isn’t sufficiently afraid of us.

It isn’t fair, but it’s the reality.
The justice system should not care how big that mob is. Thats the sort of shit that destroys civilization.

It would be a kind of reversed lynch justice if the mob prevented real justice from happening. Is there a special term for it?

Maybe it’s time for y’all-qeada to show its true colors.
