it s a good day, like the day that derek chauvin was convicted. and that kyle rittenhouse was let alfano self-defense charge. i hope it sets a precedent of not having these riots and things. it s really what you wake up thinking. obviously you want someone to go to jail if they ve murdered someone but you also fear for your city or your country, wherever you are. the people would go to the streets and it would turn into the summer of 2020 again and hopefully when things have gone through the legal system and it does work, the jury system does work, we can all just sit there and take in what we heard during the case and the verdict and be calm about it. dagen: if you have the misfortune of living in a large liberal city, you have to sit back and see people set your city on fire and destroyed businesses and never get charged with those crimes. you re from georgia. how do you feel about this. maybe not even feeling. joe: those cases had an element that s kind of new to the world, vide
appeasing criminals. the role of government is to protect us, the law-abiding citizens and the innocent people in this country, not the criminals. dagen: they also use mental illness as a cover-up. you heard rashida tlaib talk about it. if you re violent mentally ill person, you need to be locked up. i don t care where it is. that s a ruse. jessica: think we can agree the system needs reform. i think of the person at rikers island for three years. dana: it s a different conversation. dagen: the population at rikers island is the lowest in decades. greg: new york hotels. jessica: i don t think that s true. up next, president biden taking heat after jetting off to a billionaires lavish estate while americans face the most expensive thanksgiving in history.
it doesn t bring ahmaud arbery back but to the original prosecutor, jackie johnson, on this case. she was removed. the georgia bureau of investigation took it over. not only did she lose reelection but she was brought up on charges by a grand jury related to her handling of it because again dana: she said she wasn t going to prosecute. then there was legitimate outrage about it and eventually you get to this result. one thing that s also interesting is we are celebrating thanksgiving tomorrow as a country and we give thanks for our nation and our system. trial by jury, sometimes it s a slow and it takes a long time. but you know it, it works. if you are someone who says it worked in one case and not the other. you can t do that. we have a lot to be grateful for and that the system works. dagen: to that point, jessica, after the verdict, you
we have small-town courts and legal systems that can screw you over in a heartbeat. rado someone in we are prosecutor in small-town georgia might not have wanted to try this case because it of the optics of racism or the fact that the neighbor was a retired cop. neither one of those things should ever happen in this country. that s one thing we shouldn t have to worry about, not having a chance of a fair trial. at least with video evidence, it gets that much harder for some small-town legal system to make cue the victim make you the victim. greg: next week. don t we have just lane maxwell. ghislaine maxwell. and jussie smollett. are they televised? and to your point, there s no video. ghislaine maxwell.
