that the peaceful protesters will get sick. Their cause was so worthy. And yet, it was dangerous in so many ways. Worrying about police, worrying about the military, worrying about the agitators... and worrying about the virus.
Our protesters were very, very brave people.
Now lets get those 4 muthafuckas convicted so that we can all stay home.

Same with going to the polls. If Im not allowed to vote by mail I will screw my courage to the sticking point and go vote.

I bet the trial doesn't even get going until 2021.

(6,145 posts)I would be okay with that.

(9,998 posts)If it was 1st Degree, that would be more likely, but hopefully under the circumstances, it's set at a high amount.
They're cops, or at least they were, so again, hopefully, they don't get outside assistance in raising the funds.

Since the charges were raised, bail went up to $1 million on each of the 4 cops.
So far, nobody has gotten him out.
I am REALLY hoping for prison justice.

(53,410 posts)but almost all the protesters are young so I hope if they do get sick that theyll recover. I hope they take care around any older people in their families.

(6,145 posts)went to protest in Baltimore. We had Freddie Gray, we know how this works.
She is my age, in her 50's and I hope she will not get sick. It would absolutely kill my co-worker.
