I don't know what the verdict is because it hasn't been publicly read yet. But I think it's a safe bet that it's not a hung jury -- they've deliberated for only 1 day. Whichever way this case goes, I hope people don't resort to more violence.

Some protests and violence in NYC and Portland OR (Portland has had almost nightly violence for about 11 months)

Now, I've seen articles that say that an appeal is possible due to politician's comments (Maxine Watters and Biden both made comments before the verdict)

I personally think the cop was WAY out of line with what he did, but I also think that public comments by politicians did not help matters

Of course Chauvin's attorneys will appeal. That's what attorneys do! But I think they'll go after prejudicial evidence that the judge allowed the jury to hear in the courtroom, not what politicians said in another city.

Did you see the Academy Awards last night? Twitter's on fire about it...

>Academy Awards last night?

No... wife's computer died a few days ago (I built it in January, and it just stopped) and I'm still working to get everything installed and configured so she can use her new computer... replaced power supply and then motherboard and finally the Intel i7 CPU to get her back in operation... I've never before had a CPU stop working, so it took me awhile to figure out the problem... and then I had a problem with one of the video cables while getting her 2 monitors to work

So... not much time for TV for me for about a week... I did see an article that some people got into politics while on the stage

Let's hope not. I've seen enough riots in Los Angeles to know it's a zero sum game for everyone. Social reforms come when people join together peacefully and cooperatively, not when they angrily divide and destroy.
