Derek Chauvin has been found guilty on all counts by a jury — two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter. Barack Hussein Obama celebrated the verdict, saying, “the jury did the right thing.” The jury might very well have done the right thing, had the mob not interfered. Derek Chauvin did not get a fair trial. The upshot of the mobs’ threats to riot and the enormous pressure from prominent Democrats to ensure a guilty verdict ensured that no justice could be served. Derek Chauvin was sentenced by the mob, rather than the law.
The Derek Chauvin trial isn’t about Derek Chauvin, but about the proliferation of mob justice sweeping across America today. This same plague swept across America in 1838, when Abraham Lincoln was only a 28 year old Illinois State House representative.
In 1838 a mulatto man, who had committed the undisputed crime of murder, “was seized in the street, dragged to the suburbs of [St. Louis], chained to a tree, and actually burned to death” by a mob. But unlike Obama, who encouraged mob justice, saying, “While today’s verdict may have been a necessary step on the road to progress it was far from sufficient one. We cannot rest,” Lincoln called it an “ill omen.” One of these Illinois representatives is right and one of them is wrong. I don’t know about you, but I’ll take Lincoln’s wisdom over Obama’s poison any day.
While Obama seeks to destroy America, Lincoln sought to heal America. Lincoln revered the law, and Obama despises the law. Lincoln condemned mob rule, while Obama celebrates it. Obama hates America and Lincoln loved America.
The truth is, most Americans condemned Derek Chauvin. Like the murderer in 1838, Chauvin represented a portion of the population, which is “worse than useless in any community.” His sentencing would likely have been of little consequence had he been sentenced by the law. The problem is that he was not.
