Symbol

by Mike Stevens

Can't believe what America has been reduced to, a place where the threat of physical violence is used to try to get a not guilty verdict for a man beset with legal troubles, and I know he should be accorded the same innocent until proven guilty standard as every day citizens, but he's not being treated as your average citizen. At every turn he's been given preferential treatment that you and I can only dream about. He's used tactics worthy of third world dictators or Al Capone and he's made it extremely difficult to stay objective about his guilt or innocence. 
 
  Then there if his henchmen over at Fox News who are screaming their fool heads off about "juror number two" and would have no qualms about leaking her name if the judge ordered it withheld. And you know damn well they'd be screaming it so some unhinged Trumper would do something stupid; and you know if given time they'd find out her identity. I sense they're following orders from Trump himself.
 
 You can't blame her for asking to be replaced, which she's done and her request granted.  And I won't be surprised if more jurors follow suit could you blame them? The twin bed rocks of our society, the rule of law and no one is above the law are under attack and some people not only don't care but have lost their minds.  
 
What happened today day is a perfect symbol of what we can expect from a possible second term, chaos, no matter what the man's imagined reasons. He set himself ablaze outside the courthouse. Every person with a skewed vision of reality is drawn to Trump and his conspiracy-driven campaign
