As SSF said, when you are guilty, you should always go with a jury trial. He didn't explain why, but I'm betting it's likely because ignorance of the law and manipulation by defense attorney provides a guilty party a good chance of acquittal.

Sure it was about posing a threat, as one of the charges was preventing folks from coming to work. How else where they to have done this? I'll equally glad that you are doubling-down on this.

But you're right it is most likely due to ignorance because it differs with your POV.

Bottom line when this thing started the usual suspect were yelling "Terrorists, terrorists, terrorists", they have now not even be found guilty of stopping someone from coming to work.

Despite the overtones of a couple in this thread it was most likely based on rule of law and not race.

Kudos to Fred for recognizing this.

EDIT: I read this as the primary charge:
