    And this is why they want to defund NPR, poison Wikipedia, and enshrine Twitter in its place.

    Can’t manufacture outrage with so many pesky fact checkers.

    Study those facial expressions very closely. Look at what’s happening here, because this is so indicative of the mindset of racists.

    You look at most criminals at their sentencing, you tend to see either resignation, or remorse. There is neither here.

    This is shock. This is disbelief. They did monstrous, horrifying things to innocent people, while fully believing that they had an absolute and unquestionable right to do those things.

    When a guy robs a gas station, he knows it’s a crime. He’s simply reasoning that committing this crime is better for him than the alternatives. He knows it’s a risk. He knows he will be punished if he is caught.

    But these people saw no risk in what they were doing. They believed that the world protect them and celebrate their actions. They believed that it was their right and their imperative to terrorize people of colour.

      Yup, those are the faces of finding out. What they did was monstrously evil, threatening to kill kids because they weren’t the white colour. I imagine he’s probably realizing as well that he’s going to be beaten a lot in jail for this. Given the incarceration rate of PoC being higher there’s going to be a welcome for him he’ll regret if they don’t immediately put him into solitary confinement. His life isn’t just ruined, he may very well die in prison.

      The woman has fully disassociated at this point, she’s just got the “going through the motions” look of someone who had the worst news of their life handed to them and don’t know how to process it.

    His cry face is so comical and forced. It’s not even genuine. Even has very outwardly visible psychopathic tendencies, besides the actions.

      I’m thinking that’s his face being caught in time, where there was actually motion. Those eyebrows do really look sad and remorseful. But I don’t gaf. They deserve the punishment.

    Those pictures show frustration with the punishment in the same way a toddler does. These people are messed up.

    The big tough alpha MAGA cries when faced with the legal repercussions of his crimes.

    Classic. I savor the Schadenfreude as I would the finest steak and lobster.
