A court ruling in Pasadena, California, last week just set an unsettling precedent in the movement for black lives' fight against police brutality.
Activist Jasmine Richards, a 28-year-old black woman and founder of Pasadena's Black Lives Matter chapter, was convicted of felony lynching, a technical term in California penal code referring to "the taking by means of a riot of another person from the lawful custody of a peace officer." Her sentencing is June 7.

On August 29, 2015, police responded to a 911 call after an altercation at a local park. The owner of a restaurant near the park told police an unidentified young black woman allegedly did not pay for her meal. Black Lives Matter supporters, including Richards, were already at the park after a peaceful protest earlier that day for Kendrec McDade, a 19-year-old unarmed black teenager who was killed by Pasadena police in 2012.
Video of the incident shows Black Lives Matter supporters, including Richards, run to the woman's side as police attempt to arrest her. Richards was arrested two days later for trying to physically pull the woman away from police.
Richards was initially charged with inciting a riot, child endangerment, delaying and obstructing peace officers, and felony lynching. When the court announced the June 1 trial date, only the lynching charge remained.
Richards is not the first modern protester to be charged with lynching. Maile Hampton, a 20-year-old black woman, was arrested for "lynching" during a rally against police brutality in Sacramento in April 2015. Occupy Oakland activists Tiffany Tran and Alex Brown were charged in 2011, and Los Angeles Occupy activist Sergio Ballesteros was charged in 2012 for lynching while intervening in an arrest at the local Artwalk.
But in other cases, the charges were later dropped. Richards is the first African American convicted of "lynching" in the United States.
"Clearly this is a political prosecution," Richards's attorney, Nana Gyamfi, told Vox. "Its intention is to stop people from organizing, and from speaking out and challenging the system. There's a political message that's been sent by both the prosecutor and the police and, by conviction, the jury."
>was arrested for "lynching" during a rally against police brutality
We need rallies against nigger brutality.
I've seen tens of videos of blacks trying to stop cops from arresting their homey, why is she the first black person to actually get charged for it? #BlackPrivilige

It's not a movement. It's a domestic terrorist organization.
Good.

Wait, what?
What would they call it if an angry mob hangs someone without a trial?
Racial egalitarianism was a mistake. The second we ended Jim Crow the dindu immediately went back to nigging harder than ever. Niggers must be ruled with a strong hand or eliminated.
murder
Usually a peace officer did the lynching (well, in hanging times) in which case he's taking a person away from himself. Which is legal.its only illegal if a non-peace officer takes the person away.

how is not paying for your hamburger a protest movement
Considering commiefornia is more Hispanic than black why are you acting surprised?
>came to my work
nice try nigger
American history X with a MAGA hat shopped on.
Liberals have everyone believing that blacks and browns get along when in reality we do not. Seriously fuck niggers.
Reminding that "lynching" (extrajudicial mob punishment) never had any association with race until a propaganda campaign by the NAACP. Most lynching victims were white and lynch law is normative in majority black countries.
FUG ME M8.
Southern Cali proving ONCE AGAIN that it is based
>Accused of lynching
Correct me if I'm wrong here guys, but I'm pretty sure lynching is when you hang/mob kill someone without a trial. What kind of lynching is she being charged for?
that old white guy in the back looking away why
Legally, Lynching is removing a person from the custody of police by force (as most victims of Lynching were in the process of being arrested).
Well, she's a founder of a BLM chapter, and BLM is literally stirring up riots. BLM pretty much is lynching except that they normally do not have specific targets. Probably this group closed in on some unlucky guy.

Oh so it kind of has an extended connotation thats kinda superceded the original meaning of the word.
thanks for the lesson
Isn't that illegal?
I don't know about specific state laws or anything, but I'm sure burning things in public without a permit is illegal.
Air pollution and whatnot.
California, NO!

This is how blacks really feel about violence, as in it's okay when they do it.
story?
>Do only failures of society support socialism?
Yes. Socialism is the politics of envy. It's literally 'If I can't have it, no one will'.
That the word socialism is not immediately associated with violence, genocide and hatred is the greatest tragedy of our generation.
> These were White folks, many of them liberal, who wanted you to believe that if protesters have just conducted themselves with a little bit of that White class, White America might have lent its undying support rather than standing up for the innocent owners caught in the warzone.
