In reply to the discussion: Hannity says we're gloating over this verdict. [View all]LeonidPlanck
(231 posts)42. The verdict wasn't up to us
He was found guilty by a jury of his peers based on facts delivered through a fair process in which he was well represented. Gloat? Why? That would be schadenfreude.
What I care about is that people get clean water in Detroit, women have control of their bodies and refugees fleeing civil unrest have a process to apply for asylum. So Im not gloating; Im relieved that the judicial system works a little bit.
And that guy worked his ass off to work against all the things I care about. Its not gloating, its a sigh of relief.

Celebrating for now. Gloating is for after he's given a prison sentence (fingers crossed)
