Seems she has form for this:

Rodney King verdict and Los Angeles riots

When south-central Los Angeles erupted in riots—in which 63 were killed—after the Rodney King verdict in 1992, Waters gained national attention when she led a chant of "No justice, no peace" at a rally in the midst of the riot.[32] She also "helped deliver relief supplies in Watts and demanded the resumption of vital services".[33][34] Waters described the riots as a rebellion, saying "If you call it a riot it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable."[35] In her view, the violence was "a spontaneous reaction to a lot of injustice." In regard to the looting of Korean-owned stores by local black residents, she said in an interview with KABC radio host Michael Jackson: "There were mothers who took this as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes... They are not crooks."[36]

I wonder if the defence could cite this as grounds for a mistrial.

This is the more worrying aspect:

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KGO) -- Police say troubling acts of vandalism in Santa Rosa overnight are connected to a key defense witness in the Derek Chauvin trial.

The photos show pig's blood splattered in front of a home, and on a downtown statue.

Vandals splattered the pig's blood on this home at 3 a.m. Saturday, and left a decapitated pig's head on the front porch.

The defence witness doesn't even live there anymore, some random people unconnected to the trial who were unfortunate enough to have bought the house from him woke up in the early hours of the morning to 4 people wearing black throwing a pigs head against their door!

Can imagine what they might do to the houses of jurors if there is a hung jury... quite possible that (in the event of a mistrial) some jurors will dox other jurors in the media etc... won't take long to establish which jurors wanted to convict and which didn't etc..etc..

Segregation?

They're already segregated due to financial inequalities as well as bunker mentalities, which is part of the problem and not remotely a solution. Splitting the country would also achieve nothing.

So many vested interests willing to manipulate narratives are involved now that there's likely no sensible solution as things develop pretty much instantly (thanks to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube...) and there's no time to think anymore. A seismic change in politics needs to occur I think, a splitting of the moderates in both parties that has less baggage and less negative associations to deal with.

I don't agree with what she is saying but how is that any different from Trump telling his base to march on the Capital?

Well one incident gets labeled as a "coup" others get labeled as "fiery but peaceful protests" :D

Anyway the thread is supposed to be about the trial and issues directly related to it, her comments are perhaps relevant because they're directly created to the trial and the atmosphere surrounding it (pressure jury and witnesses are under etc...) "whatabout Trump" is perhaps better left to the drones in the SC containment forum.

If the names of one or some of the jury has been made public somehow then a mistrial is almost certain, if not, you can guarantee they will be sequestered tomorrow until the trial is over.

Are you just giving that as a hypothetical or is there some rumour/leak on social media that's in reference to?
