Um, what? That is really presumptuous. I looked at the Fox article when the Arbery case was decided and all the top voted comments were people saying they jury decided correctly on both cases. Actually, I haven't read any conservatives saying they got it wrong so far (I'm sure there are), but I've seen many examples of conservatives saying they got it right. Those three hunted down a guy for something as little as oddly wandering into a house multiple times and not stealing anything. Can you not assume the worst about the "other side", please?

I honestly wouldn't have expected that. Alright, fair enough! Maybe I'm too cynical sometimes.

Obviously there are crazies out there, but most conservatives don't fall into those categories, just like most liberals aren't extremists in their own way. Most conservatives just want the law followed in court cases based on both federal and state constitutions. And that's where the difference resides. Liberals want what they deem is the "right" way, whereas conservatives aren't as focused on right vs. wrong and are moreso focused on the constitution and laws written as is. We just want the law followed to the letter. If the law has a loophole that someone can get away with something wrong, then it is what it is until said law is changed. We fall into this side because a WHOLE lot more damage could be done in society by subjective interpretations of law based on heightened emotions than can be done by following the law so closely that people get away with horrible things.
