thought he did really well by himself. brian: only one more fact, face the nation came out and said that he got it wrong when he crossed state lines and used a gun, shot a black man seven times in the back, that was obviously wrong, they walk that back, and that s why they did not drive to kenosha, he was there already, it was not illegal for him to possess that particular weapon, that is true and we apologize for the oversight and language. dana: was at the goodness of their heart? or the morality play happening here? no, lots of people are about to get sued and this is laying in the ground, we are saying sorry, please don t sue us, so they probably are not the first, i m glad they did it, but the other thing that i wanted to say is go back to that exchange with jen psaki and peter doocy, i don t blame jen psaki, she has to answer for something that happened in a campaign.
wrong about the case and a trial and the jacob blake police shooting from last summer that was a triggering event to the writing. what struck me, and it was not just news organizations, colleges and universities putting out statements. public faces and celebrities. not even pretending to have passing knowledge of the facts of the case where the evidence. i feel like there is a cultural script that we have. it is a giant american morality play where there is right side in a wrong side and they inject rates and everything regardless of what the fact pattern is. if that is your hammer, everything is a nail. people are banging away at it no interest, apparently, annick getting details correct. details matter. we have larger truths being spewed all over the place that are not truths at all. falsehoods.
know, a man with a handgun who says he is a medic and that s grosskreutz. grosskreutz, as he was lowering his hand, aims the gun at the head of our defendant in this case. somebody else strikes him with a skateboard using it like a baseball bat. and there is even somebody named jump-kick man who the prosecutor tried to minimize his role by saying he only kicked him in the head. so, where where are the heroes and where are the villains? they are all villains. nobody he didn t belong in the street that night. and these other people who were doing damage they weren t true protestors. the protestors had been there the two-previous nights. there was a night of villainy, really, in kenosha and i think the jury, when they looked at it, um, they decided, you know, he really his life was in danger. and he acted in self-defense. and i think we make a big mistake if we make this into a morality play about white power

a day that our system worked because it reached a just result after what was obviously very careful attention. people should take it for what it is and what it isn t. what it means is the state was not able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that these criminal charges should hold. that this young man was a murderer. it s not a morality play. it s not an award for him. it s not a statement by society that what happened here was good. it s not indifference to the fact that people lost their lives here. it s simply a fact that the justice system was not able to show evidence that would have warranted conviction here. when that happens, the verdict is supposed to be acquittal. sandra: we have a live look there in kenosha outside of the courthouse. certainly there is a press presence building. you can see the microphones in the air. we ll see who s speaking on the
