12. Incomprensible verdict

These jurors simply ignored the law and acquitted these thugs. They've sent a message out to all of the armed right wing crazies that it is just fine to show up and invade someone's property and occupy it if you've decided that you have a right to do so.

This puts me in an apocalyptic frame of mind.

God, this country is starting to resemble Weimar Germany more with each passing day.
