You are free to argue the technicalities of each individual case, but the fact of the matter is Americans do live under violent state apparatus that does not exist anywhere in magnitude to other comparable OCED nations. It's not hyperbole to say that Americans enjoy less freedoms than their democratic counterparts. You asking "what more can be done, the courts found him innocent" in the face of clear injustice is eye-opening; if that's case every country is free - after all if the courts of Supreme Leader Kim said so, what more can you do?
