The Virginia Star-
by Debra Heine
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is being blasted online for releasing biographical information of all twelve jurors plus two alternates in the Derek Chauvin trial in the killing of George Floyd.
Without naming the jurors, reporters Paul Walsh and Hannah Sayle on Tuesday published enough details about their lives, internet sleuths and local snoops may be able to figure out who they are.
Walsh is a general assignment reporter at the Star-Tribune, and Sayle is a digital features editor. Online critics are accusing the paper of trying to intimidate the jurors into reaching a guilty verdict.
The reporters provided general information about the jurors’ ages, race, professions, where they’re from, and where they went to school. They even leaked that one juror is related to an area police officer.
Abby Simone, the “public safety” editor for the Star-Tribune, shared the story on Twitter.
“Why does the “public safety editor” think it’s ok to publish enough information to identify these jurors?” asked one Twitter user. more

Derek Chauvin, Human Sacrifice

Clifford D Simak, one of my favorite sci fi authors was also a newspaperman and worked for the Minneapolis Star from 1939-1976 and was their news editor from 49-76 would be appalled at what has happened to Minnesota over the last year with the whole fiasco dealing with the death of George Floyd. As would Russell Kirk who would be similarly dismayed at what has happened to his beloved Michigan. Both of them who have been long since dead would not recognize what their beloved upper Midwest part of the country has become and wouldn’t know what to make or think of it and they’ve both only been removed by one generation from my memory. It’s a damn shame.
Looks like proof for the appeal that the jurors had serious concerns about the threat of a mob lynching waiting for them.
I’m always amazed at demanding, childish idiots like BLM, Antifa and the far left Dems. That they just can’t see what hell they are making if they get their way completely.
Mob rule? You won’t always be in the mob-of-influence every day.
Anarchy? You just gave permission for your enemies to pick off as they see you. Where’s your safe haven now? How are you going to feed yourself now?
Socialism/Communism? The misery and suffering will not skip you and you will have no one left to save you from yourself.
It’s like the unsaved not knowing what they are doing by rejecting the very air they breathe, the warm sun on their faces, the babbling brook that can slake their thirst, and the cool breeze gently blowing across them. To reject God is to reject all of creation and stop enjoying everything He has given you without you deserving a bit of it in the first place.
Be grateful.
Stop trying to be your own God. It’s not going to work out for you like you think. It’s like rejecting the idea of gravity. Doesn’t matter what you come up with on your own, (that’s being your own God), you’re going to crash and burn and you’ll absolutely know you effed up when the time comes.
Why did this reporter have this information to publish in the first place?
If it’s not available to the general public it shouldn’t be available to reporters.
Didn’t Jury Tampering used to be a crime?
I guess that crime went out the window with that whole legal realignment thing that’s been going on with the DoJ, the FBI, the CIA, the 9th Circus, and the Traitorous Supremes.
If it furthers totalitarianism – it’s OK.
If it doesn’t – it AIN’T.
Called it Arbitrary Law in the old days.
izlamo delenda est …
Tantamount to publishing the names and faces of a Lynch mob. Is it sacrilegious to say this police officer is being sacrificed because of the implied sins of white people?
Now that’s racist. Intimidating the tools used to accomplish it are sadly secondary to proving societal racism.
This is a prime example of how the left can get whatever verdict they desire in our courts. They rule through fear and intimidation because it works.
It’s difficult to shirk jury duty. When you know you’re going to be outed for doing your civic duty with the very real possibility of being fired, your home and/or car being torched and your families life being put in danger, you have a choice to make. The left has made that a one option choice.
We’re not going to survive fighting this battle with words. In the past I would have said we’re not going to win with words. Now, it’s not a matter of winning, it’s surviving.
Don’t give them the satisfaction of taking you alive. Go out spectacularly and take many of them with you.👍
I agree with @Anonymous above. How did they get this information? Somebody in the Clerk’s office needs to go to prison. (Ha ha. Most likely not a person of pallor so nothing to see here.)
Threats and intimidation in the Judicial system, Stalin, Castro and Che’ would be proud of the Socialists and Communists in Washington, DC, Minnesota, Seattle, Portland and other Democrat (?) cities.
It’s time to change the name of the DOJ, to the Ministry of Just-us.
When the mob demanded that they take a knee, they took a knee.
The implied message was “We have this information. We also have your names, addresses and your relative’s information too!
Welcome to the new Communism of the 21st Century!
Not new and improved… Just as ugly, vicious and ruthless as it ever was!
TRF
It was NOT IMPLIED! GWB’s BFF Walt was on live TV Mon afternoon(Cal time) and explicitly said “We have hour names, family names and addresses” Implied if they did not vote guldty the LE would help get them maimed and their property destroyed.
GWB’s friend is the Gov!
Again he said directly WE HAVE INFO ON YOU AND YOURS! Did not imply that. Did imply cops would help the “peaceful protest”!
I saw it live!
an ol exJarhead – did not see that. Thanks for the update!
This whole trend of rioting to force someone else to address the problems, instead of rioters addressing their own problems and dealing with them like adults do.
We have a whole segment of society that are in permanent adolescence, and some of us are sick to death of babysitting.
Blowback is coming, and the longer it waits, the fiercer it will be.
Fear of riots and (more likely) fear of being doxxed by the media. Media activists (formerly called journalists) had already openly hinted that if the jury found him not guilty that their names and addresses would be revealed. The jury had no choice in the verdict, relying instead on the likely reversal to come.
Good! It was a crap jury and they deserve what they get!
Wouldn’t it be a GAS if there were some incendiary party favors tossed into the houses of those “reporters” and maybe even the publisher? Maybe the good people of this country should start playing by the same rules as the not so good people.
The judge would have been told of this and should have declared a mistrial. He chose to pass the buck to the appeals process. I guess he values his life as well.
Not much chance in appeal, as Chief Justice Roberts has made it quite clear that he prefers to genuflect to the mob rather than uphold Justice and the Constitution.
I don’t know if Chauvin is guilty of a crime here, but the Dems have guaranteed that this will continue to be a Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads for quite some time.
The next step in intimidation will be the Federal charges against Chauvin, the other officers and paramedics and the Minneapolis PD. They must make an example of them, just as Obama’s DOJ did with Officer Wilson and the City of Ferguson, Missouri.
I think there are still a few unpockmarked walls standing not too far from 650 3rd Avenue South in Minneapolis
