So was the Sara Everard vigil. As one would expect.Did it kick off at the Price Philip mournings? I thought it was 100% peaceful, as one would expect.
Unless you think a few women making speeches justifies this:

Were you there? Did you witness this, or are you going from photographs and video? Were they outside, in which case masks aren't required? Were they clustered in groups of <=6 in which case distancing might not have been required? How 'clear' are these breaches. If you had to prosecute and if you lost, would have to sell up to pay the other side's costs, would you take it on? In other words, how certain are you that your view is unquestionably the right one? This is the sort of assessment that prosecutors and courts have to go through, because everybody has the right to a fair trial, which includes not going to trial at all if there's not enough evidence.I think we should arrest pretty much everyone who was in Soho at the weekend. Minimal masks, minimal distancing. Clear breaches everywhere.

They were, however, the people getting manhandled and restrained by the police.We all know the good folk mourning are not the problem. They weren’t the people throwing bottles etc.
Along with the crowds around the royal funeral then? Right you are.I think we should arrest pretty much everyone who was in Soho at the weekend. Minimal masks, minimal distancing. Clear breaches everywhere.
Under normal operation, the pre-frontal cortex should be able to have the final say in how we deal with situations, but once a perceived threat reaches a certain level, our autonomic nervous system takes over and does what it 'thinks' it has to do to assure personal safety. All rational thought is kept out of the equation.
Agree with your post, most interesting, though the emotional intelligence of the brain should be given priority in most social interactions, even philosophical mentation. Art? I remember being quite amused flying through the air after being T-boned by a car into the side of my motorcycle at 40 mph.
From court coverage, it seems to me that Chauvin knows he's in trouble. Likely big trouble.
The fact he didn't speak in defence of himself spoke volumes. Probably a bit of a psycho.
In the US a defendent is not required to testify, and they frequently don't. It's not an unusual choice.
