Destruction of property has been deemed as violent in peace movements beforehand. It was a riot by definition.


In North Carolina?

Keep in mind that different states have different laws. Destruction of property tends to be considered 'disorderly' but not violent on it's own. If there had been people there calling for the statue NOT to be torn down, as far as I understand it, then you could say that they were inciting a riot and include 'violence'

riot
Definition

A concerted action: (1) made in furtherance of an express common purpose; (2) through the use or threat of violence, disorder, or terror to the public; and (3) resulting in a disturbance of the peace. Under common law, the crime of riot requires the assemblage of three or more actors. The concerted acts may be unlawful in themselves, or they may be lawful acts that are done in a violent or turbulent manner. Among the different forms that riots may take include escalated labor disputes or political demonstrations. While most riots occur in public places, they may also take place within prisons

The ACTUAL legal definition of a riot.

You've essentially missed requirement 2. Ironically enough.

I know the meme is that GOPers say they're against something Trump did but don't do anything about it

But I feel as though
The President has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to be successful


Is starting to get into personal attack territory

By a GOP Senator

Against a GOP President

It truly is remarkable

No you didn't. Only poor reading comprehension makes you think it did.

1. Common purpose. Check.

2. Through the use of disorder. Check. (Knowing how Or works is a big deal.)

3. Resulting in disturbance of peace. Check.


It is really disconcerting that you are trying to change definitions and laws now in regards to your political goal.

Like, the prosecutor doesn't just add charges that have no bearing to a case just because. You have to have reliable thought of having violated said law to charge it.

Do you know ANYTHING whatsoever about law? Yes prosecutors absolutely fucking do. They tack on anything that could potentially apply and knock it down from there.

This is 150% false. Absolutely.

They aim for the highest crime and as many crimes as they possibly can, even if they know it won't fly in court, so that if they do choose to plea, they can start higher. Or if it gets knocked down by the judge, etc.

They were charged with two felonies which the group was in violation of according to NC Law. They will plead down and get it lowered or get cute and lose. Whichever, they are going to pay the consequences of taking their actions.

Literally just charged the driver with 2nd degree murder. Not 1st degree. And you all agreed it is because they did not think they could prove it. Now because you know the political spin is where you want it, arguing the literal opposite now.

The fact the hypocrisy being churned here isn't noticable to yourselves is wild. Seriously. There is zero consistency in your opinions or statements when applied to different political situations.

They name the charges before they even go over all the evidence. Sometimes lack of evidence knocks charges down, sometimes pleas do, and so on.

I wonder if Corrik realizes that plea deals typically don't happen if it's 100% sure the crime happened, so the very existence of a plea deal suggests the prosecutor thought they may not win the case on that specific charge.

Prosecutors only plead down to the highest thing they know they can undoubtedly prove.

Any "surefire case" that pleads down only pleads down because they aimed too high with the charges to begin with.

Hence... What we've all been saying. Prosecutors always leave themselves room to plead down by aiming high.

Like, this isn't a challenging concept at all.

If a prosecutor knows they can prove Charge A, and knows they can prove Charge B, but isn't sure they can 100% prove Charge C (but it's not impossible, given the jury/judge/etc), they will go with all three charges, A, B, and C, so that they can plead down to A and B to make it look like the defendant is getting something out of it.

About the 1st Degree/2nd Degree murder thing, would that be because EVEN IF the idea of killing counter-protesters by driving into them was pre-planned, there's 0% chance they specifically meant to kill Heather Heyer?

(Last post on this, promise)

Now, to be fair, that isn't to say these people couldn't actually be convicted of these felonies. It's just to say that the prosecutor didn't go "Yep, this is absolutely a felony" when the charges were made, because they wouldn't have actually even gone over the evidence by that point, yet.
