I don't always agree with it, but pretty sure the way the law works basically anywhere in America is if you are a getaway driver and the actual robbers or burglars end up killing someone you will get charged with the same crime.

This logical argument will convince exactly zero brainbroken racist Americans, but, perhaps worth trying...

By America's own judicial standards it is equally responsible for all the deaths.

Could even extend this argument to supplying aid and weapons. If you give material aid to a state designated "terror" group, you can absolutely get blasted straight to federal prison. If you supply a bank robber with a rifle and they use it to murder someone... good luck with that. Or if you supply ingredients like the OKC federal building guy, not McVeigh, his accomplice's brother or whatever, the feds will absolutely crawl inside your butthole assuming you knew what was going to happen.

And again, I'm generally skeptical of these types of laws not because I don't believe Nichols (whatever the dude's name was) wasn't also partly responsible, but because they just end up slamming extra life-destroying RICO shit on random black teens doing petty burglaries. Not to excuse crime, blah blah blah, but the laws are overreaching and never equally applied.

But American Conservatives and liberals love this shit. They love it when 18 year old gang members get hit with life in prison anyway. Wonder why they don't think this logic applies to their military aiding ongoing war crimes? I think the answer to that is (and I have to put racism aside because yes that's why they fail to see these as similar criminal liabilities. I'm jumping to the assumption they are convinced of the crime but not the punishment) split between the boomers/Gen X types who for some fucking reason forgot that America did Vietnam and now just reflexively think unironically "America is good" and can't be moved from that position ever. And the others are sort of short-sighted or partially blinded younger people who just never even considered the fact that Americans could and should be held responsible for crimes the military and state dept commit. The latter bunch seems to be shifting though, and this obvious genocide is pushing it faster than I thought possible...

this is sad and pathetic of a wish, but if I could see some US "journalists" and politicians punished, and I mean ACTUALLY punished with hefty prison sentences or ... you know... before I die, that would be a nice thing to see.

Surely they should've had people working on the pier at least. This makes it sound like they pre-emptively moved all their guys off the pier ahead of time to try and set up their own "innocence"

We will find out it's Eric Princes guys next week
