    Well San Fran has a law that any shoplifting under a certain amount, and it’s a good amount, will not be enforced or prosecuted. They just set themselves up for it to happen there. Is CT getting an influx of San Fran ex residents or are these people just that ignorant? Probably already know that answer. The brandon tattoo says it all.

    That's a (quite) left of center social advocacy organization related to Tides Advocacy in San Fransisco.
    I would 'hold my nose' reading anything related to Tides as their "vision" is through a rather restrictive lens.

    Aren’t most of them that way? Can’t trust anything on the news anymore really.

    Yeah, left or right of center and even some that claim to be neither. Not that mainstream news has ever been totally un-biased but with publications being owned by just a few these days, the outlets are ever louder mouthpieces for their owners' biases and prejudices.

    The minute the “media” took a political side and doesn’t care about the truth is when the death of our country started.:(

    Truth no longer matters, only narrative

    If you look at the history of this country the media has always had a bias. Back when it was a guy with a printing press, his bias came through, and caused things like the revolution, civil war, Spanish American war, etc.
    every city had multiple newspapers because each had interests behind it, parties and positions it was for and against.
    Political machines like Tammany hall had papers they owed and owned, and papers trying to take them down.
    Radio followed this pattern initially, often tied to one paper or another, but the cost tended to force them into a network affiliation.
    Networks dominated until they could edge out the local independent ones, because they were tied to large corporations and corporations buy more expensive ads.
    The cost of TV broadcasting kept it from being a private company thing.
    Leading to three networks that told you what the news was and only a few newspapers remained to counter them.
    Talk radio was finally unmuzzled in the 80’s and became the alternative to the TV networks, before that there was a “fairness doctrine” that scared off any real political talk, because of a lack of talent on one side that couldn’t sell advertising or gain listeners, after all the same stuff was on TV and had better pictures.
    The internet has really leveled the playing field, but now big tech is working with the government to silence and suppress what they don’t want people to hear.
    Fakebook and google being the biggest offenders, but not alone.

    Yeah, distressed over an innocent man getting off...because you didn't do your homework, and just listened to the msm and their anti gun/racism narrative...not sure how a white guy shooting white guys that are beating him up is racist? Or even a bad idea...the only bad idea was maybe going down there in the first place when there was already trouble brewing...

    Yep.
    The scariest part is, a lot of people don't even want to know what the truth is...

    Justice is supposed to be blind so this is kind of a side point, but looking at the history of the two “peaceful protestors” as far as I’m concerned their demise made the world a better place. One being a convicted child molester and the other being arrested for battery among a slough of other things. I think it was Rosenbaum that was on video earlier that night walking around screaming the N word repeatedly too. That’s why I have to laugh at people holding signs protesting the results of the trial, thinking these two men were some kind of white knights and champions for their cause... It’s amazing how much they’re doubling down on their false narrative here in order to sow more discontent. What a complete sh_t show.
