This article follows a prescient post here on Wednesday night, November 17, 2021, As this article is written, it is Saturday, November 20, 2021 and as expected, the Wisconsin jury acquitted the chubby little terrorist who came from Illinois to commit deadly acts of self-defense with an assault rifle in Wisconsin.
They let him go back to Illinois where he came from before he killed two people and tried to kill a third human being in Wisconsin. Or perhaps they let him go to national headlines. Who knows.
Now that the Wisconsin jury has acquitted the little vigilante, he can still be tried in Federal Court. To say again as was said before, back in the day when civil rights workers were routinely attacked and often killed, and their murderers were often acquitted by White juries especially in the South ("Them good old boys was singin' 'This'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die'"), justice did not leave town.
Rather, the Department of Justice stepped in for justice. The defendants in those cases were charged in Federal Court with things like deprivation of civil rights because they murdered the person. That is why 42 U.S. Code Section 1983 was written in the first place: People were lynching other people and by killing them deprived them of their civil rights under Federal law.
Section 1983 applies now. People are killing other people and by killing them deprive them of their civil rights under Federal law now. There will be more to come.
Justice is a vision, they say. We can dream, can't we?
