Is she saying that the State didn't prove these defendants were the actual people who did it and that police were wrong to only use social media to identify them? If that is the reason she sided with the defense then I'm on the fence about it but since guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is the standard I lean towards being ok with that.. If she is saying that police simply shouldn't have been able to use social media at all even though they knew, or previously suspected, this was them then I'm against this judgement.


What’s the issue with recognizing them from social media?

A sizable number of protestors in those liberal strongholds are “serial protestors”, they’re available anytime someone calls for bodies.

On top of that, im sure local PD can subpoena cell phone records to triangulate people to these locations to further solidify they were there.

Especially if these dumbfricks were posting it from the same phones and had geo-locations being marked in photos they posted of this.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it but the State has the burden to prove the defendant is guilty. If they weren't arrested at the scene, were wearing masks or there is no photographic/video evidence of them being there at all, so that they are not easily identifiable. I don't think someone should be convicted if it can't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they committed the crime.

Being a serial protestor isn't a crime, in and of itself. Would you want to be arrested solely because you have a connection with some group or would you want the State to prove you participated in the criminal act?
