And, of course, critics are calling the country racist and there have been threats of violence.
And in other news, Daniel Penny found not guilty.

Black culture needs a reboot. Soros and other progressives make it worse
This should have never went to trial! Glad they didn’t cave to the Black Mob!
The jury was hung on manslaughter, but then acquitted on reckless homicide. That makes no sense unless the jury just said fvckit, we want to go home.
It doesn't make sense. Their verdict for the lesser charge surprised me after they were hung on the manslaughter. I think they said "Im tired of the BS and I want to go home" .... cutting into their time to Christmas shop. I like the verdict though.
Can’t wait for the peaceful protests.
It depends on the element they were hung up on. The lesser charge has a different wrongful conduct threshold. They are instructed to consider the more serious charge first.
Quit with the lawyer stuff! Penny is hero for taking out the trash!
I didn't follow the case, so I won't comment on the verdict. But the victim was homeless with 40 some arrests. It seems everyone involved knew there were mental health issues. Something needs to be done on that front. Involuntary commitment pretty much requires one to be judged an immediate danger to themselves or someone else. Maybe that standard needs slightly lowered. I don't want it too easy, but a person with mental issues that continually violate societal norms often needs to be treated. Assuming treatment exists.
Harris declared him a murderer yet? The system broken? Or are we not doing that anymore?
I feel he’s gonna get his ass handed to him in civil court.
It’s Happy Hour. Give her some time.
Nah. Won’t matter. I doubt he has anything. 26 yr old ex marine. Still young. If he has a home it’s possible to drag in homeowners but at best they’d cover under a reservation and who knows if they’d pay. So likely nothin to collect
Guy was homeless and an addict so the pool of fam that can serve as plaintiffs would have a hard go of proving loss of consortium, love affection support blah blah blah
Shitty case.
Treatment often means confinement. That’s the problem.
That is the problem, I agree. That is why I said slightly loosened. 42 or however many arrests and homeless to me crosses that line relatively easily. Homeless by itself, nope. 20 arrests by itself, nope.
no winners here
a guy is dead
another guy has his life turned inside out
racism and division stoked even further
people even less likely to step in and do the right thing
courts are infected with politics, etc.
i'm glad i live in a small town
Really depends on what hes been arrested for.
If he's picking up some small stuff so he can have a roof over his head for a couple days and some free meals, that to me would not be a reason to institutionalize them.
There would need to be context there, IMO.
I don’t think small town people know how good they have it
Everytime I walk outside to take a piss…I am thankful
Supposedly keeps the deer away.
When somebody then says, “but there are no deer around here,” you then reply, “working damn well, isn’t it?”
Yes.
And, not to go all Tom Cruise on this, but I have my doubts about the capacity of the medical/psychological professions to adequately treat this sort of thing. Let me put it this way: if it's possible for treatment to curb this behavior, then we're clearly failing to get it where it's needed.
But I'm not convinced that's the actual failure.

I was in downtown Indy last night. Parked in a parking garage with my son, headed for dinner. Coming to get on the elevator, there was a couple already on it that was trying to figure out a way to take the elevator to a different floor to exit.
I showed them the only option they could choose and they said "There's a guy there having an episode. We were wanting to avoid him." I just said...well, maybe with all of us together, he'll leave us alone.
When we got off the elevator, he was about 10 feet away, acting verbally aggressive with the accented pointing and all that. He was shouting all kinds of racial things. He was black, the four of us were white. I couldn't make it all out, but it was stuff like "white devil can't face up to a black man".
I told my son just to ignore him and keep walking. There wasn't any physical altercation. But, I have to say, it was pretty tense.
A lot of people can be helped significantly with medication, but they have to stay on them. That's where much of the problems arise.
Oh they already managed to find his “dad” so lord only knows how they’ll juice that.
