If GH made a post about "man will be executed, death penalty is abhorrent" he would get a bunch of people concurring.
But he made a post about "innocent man will be executed because racism" except he might not be so innocent after all.

I don't have an issue with people disputing his innocence (confirming it would only make killing him more horrific), I would have a problem with someone suggesting racism didn't play a role in both how/why he was convicted in Alabama and how/why he was killed in cold blood in Alabama in the year 2020 (ironically before the man who confessed to the shooting).
But I don't think not repeating the polices version of events is an egregious attempt at disinformation, practically every article always reports police statements as facts or near to, so anyone that thought perhaps it was justified to kill him despite everyone knowing he didn't pull the trigger could see it in the cited article or one of their own finding.
I thought people took away the important parts without it turning into a CSI cold case discussion, and I think the format I presented it in helped that happen. I'll take the criticism seriously though and be more thoughtful next time.

It’s pretty scary how all in the media and establishment is on destroying Bernies movement now that it’s him vs Biden. Even NPR, who was pretty fair before, is smearing him. Every MSM article you see bashed him or is neutral but written on a topic no one cares about or his highly hypothetical. Billions of dollars are being put toward electing Biden. Some would say certain future dystopian literature has a similar plot
On the news side of thing I wonder how much is because of editorial lines coming from the top and how much of it is a collective personal bias from journalist, who generally come from socio-economic demographic which aren't really Sanders voters to begins with. Probably a bit of both
There's a similar argument to be made about coverage of Trump, for all his psychotic denunciation of the medias and fake news it is hard to argue that if you take the news room of CNN, Wapo, NYT and MSNBC together you would be hard press to find a single person among hundreds who will vote for him come november. And there's no doubt that it shows on the reporting and especially the editorial that are done. I'm a Wapo and NYT readers and there has not been a day that came by in the last 4 years when there wasn't at least one article/editorial (and usually many more) saying Trump was the worst president of all time/a criminal/a liar ect.... They are, of course, not wrong, but the point is I don't think it necessarily represent a collective effort to destroy the president, it also happen organically. I don't think Bernie has it as "bad", but the news room are certainly not all his friend.
Now there's of course a very big effort by those news organization in response to him to make some amazing investigation about policy, political news and different socio-political situation or crisis back with a lot of fact and a research of neutrality, but it's not necessarily what jump to the eye.

thanks, and so then to be perfectly clear, the conviction wouldn’t be for ‘felony murder’ instead? he was convicted of ‘capital murder?’
reading up on it, my expectation would’ve been the charge to be explicitly one or the other while the punishment or sentencing remains the same? though like i opened with, i’m definitely coming at this from a place of ignorance.
reading up on it some more, only in rare instances is felony murder a capital offense, the SC actually once ruled it unconstitutional until exceptions were made. so this distinction does seem fairly important.

as with most things concerning law in the US, this depends on which state you're in.
Alabama Code § 13A-6-2(a)(3). It provides that when a person commits various crimes and "in the course of and in furtherance of the crime" another is killed, then the perpetrator is guilty of murder, a "Class A Felony", the punishment of which is not less than 10 years nor more than 99 years in prison, or life in prison. If any aggravating circumstances were present, the penalty is death or life imprisonment.

We got another one right here," and Spencer opened fire on Collins, who took a bullet in the thigh as he took cover and called for backup, the prosecutor said.
When help arrived, Bennett was found outside the front door, shot in the head, and Chisholm and Owen were inside. They had been shot in the back, through their bulletproof vests, Marshall wrote. All three were dead.
Investigators found Spencer in a neighbor's attic, and Woods "was found sitting on a nearby porch, apparently 'very relaxed' and carrying two .22 caliber bullets in his pocket," his letter said.
"Although Woods was not the shooter, he was hardly an innocent bystander," Marshall wrote, explaining that Woods allegedly bragged about the shootings, threatened a sheriff's deputy and composed drawings and songs boasting of the killings. The guy was outside, ran into the house to pretend to surrender so that his friend could shoot the cops in the back. Then he bragged about the whole thing. Even if this is true, why kill him? What does society gain from retribution? Nothing, but that wasn't the argument being made by GH. If GH made a post about "man will be executed, death penalty is abhorrent" he would get a bunch of people concurring. But he made a post about "innocent man will be executed because racism" except he might not be so innocent after all. I don't have an issue with people disputing his innocence (confirming it would only make killing him more horrific), I would have a problem with someone suggesting racism didn't play a role in both how/why he was convicted in Alabama and how/why he was killed in cold blood in Alabama in the year 2020 (ironically before the man who confessed to the shooting). But I don't think not repeating the polices version of events is an egregious attempt at disinformation, practically every article always reports police statements as facts or near to, so anyone that thought perhaps it was justified to kill him despite everyone knowing he didn't pull the trigger could see it in the cited article or one of their own finding. I thought people took away the important parts without it turning into a CSI cold case discussion, and I think the format I presented it in helped that happen. I'll take the criticism seriously though and be more thoughtful next time. You made a claim that he was convicted due to racism. The burden of proof is on you. So far you have not presented a shred of evidence. You've been doing this shit for years. You think anyone's gonna buy that you're suddenly gonna change? I said it was also a factor in addition to the others mentioned.
You made a baseless claim. You used deliberate misinformation to push your agenda.

No, I didn't. I appreciate your opinion that racism wasn't a factor though. I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise.
Curious how you would describe my agenda though if you're interested in that.

By all accounts, Woods was not the shooter and did not have a gun at the time of the shooting. Woods was instead convicted of capital murder, despite personally killing no one www.montgomeryadvertiser.com I don't understand what is going on. This guy was found guilty by a jury, right? Was all of this known at the time? If so, why did the prosecutor continue, and why did the jury find him guilty? If not, why was his case not reopened? And if it was, why was he found guilty regardless? I mean... at some point all of this was known, people looked at his case and said "yup, but he's still guilty of capital murder". Who were these people and what was their reasoning?

You failed to explain what the official reasons for the conviction were. You claimed there was a lot of racism involved.
Now point out where I allegedly claimed that racism wasn't a factor.

Trump dealing with the virus crisis shows how far gone the normality of the country already is by having a narcissist fool as leader. Everyone is tip-toeing around him trying not to anger him by telling the truth, because he doesn't like the idea of a crisis and it's bad for the stock market... meanwhile he's spreading false information, because it feels better that way. The man who altered a hurricane prediction map with a sharpie for his ego will cause damage having this same attitude towards covid-19. Just look at some of this stuff:
Trump asks doctor to make a statement, doctor replies by giving a pure flattery to Trumps ego as ' the most important thing he wanted to say'
+ Show Spoiler +
Trump references his super-genius uncle at MIT, and states ' people are surprised that I understand so much, everyone of these doctors says how do you know so much about this , maybe I have natural ability'
+ Show Spoiler +
Trump says he doesn't want to get people off the cruise ship because it would make the corona numbers look worse. I like the numbers being where they are. I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship
+ Show Spoiler +
HHS secretary talks about tests being made ready for shipment, Trump doesnt like it, interrupts and lies that everyone can get tested (people having trouble getting tested is widely reported) and that the tests are as perfect as his perfect phone call transcript 
+ Show Spoiler +
HHS secretary says well maybe listen to Dr.Redfield. Redfield says they shipped 75000 tests. Trump interrupts and claims again everyone can get a test.
+ Show Spoiler +
Here he asks if giving people a ' good solid flu vaccine' would have an impact on coronavirus
+ Show Spoiler +
Here he denies WHO data because he has a ' hunch' that the numbers are different
+ Show Spoiler +

He also said today that he didn't want a Cruise boat to disembark so as not to add a number of cases to the country's total.
Yeah, better that they all get infected like the other one... Fucking idiot.
