Who is going to celebrate like they just won a million dollars depending on the verdict?

The post-trial behavior will not be classified as riots..they will be a 'celebration of justice' if they throw the book at him.

Before I believe anything from npr could you check and see if they reported Sicknick being hit in the head? If they did, they have no credibility.

Don't worry about NPR. Check the court record of the prosecutors noting 139 police officers assaulted.

The same prosecutors that charged protestors for Sicknick and not the officer who killed an unarmed person. Yeah, no selective prosecution in DC...

Edit: Any charges filed for the attempted murder (this past week. Not Jan) of Guard troops?

FTR I don’t agree with any of it but the selective outrage by some is intellectually dishonest at best.

Not sure of the attempted murder of Guard troops in the past week.
The guy who used his car to kill a Capitol police officer was killed on the spot.
Is that the one?

Oops you’re right. The shooting was in Minneapolis. The murderer was charged with only illegal possession of a firearm.

Look back in Bork's history and you will see all you need to know he was not a suitable appointee. See Saturday Night Massacre, that is if you don't know of it already. He was a giant piece of crap.

Edit: That giant turd also got a hearing.

Thank goodness Garland didn’t get a hearing based on his comments as AG.

Guilty on all counts as it should be. Unfortunately, rioters will only be happy if a cop is guilty every single time something happens.

I finally found something on that incident. They've charged with possession at this point, but I suspect the charges may get added to, once they match the firearm to the rounds that went into the vehicle. One guardsman was injured by the shattered windshield glass, but I don't think anyone was murdered.
