Maybe, but not much of one. Honestly anyone supporting or protecting them is almost as bad as being them. Some technical terms would be sheltering, aiding, and abetting.

Apparently not advocating for spreading knowledge of jury nullification. Lemmy.World is (mostly) banning it and now I need to find a new instance because I consider that to be the endorsement of our (American) government’s system of “bend over and take it.”

It would be a shame if the person who sold out were publicly identified. Hopefully that will never ever happen.

Correction: random person who vaguely resembles images of a person in a similar jacket in unrelated images of alleged shooter selected as a sacrificial lamb by the incarceration industrial complex out of fear of the populace.

FTFY

There’s too much to get into but the short version is we literally aren’t given a choice. People here idiotically vote against their own self interests and nothing anyone has tried to fix the problem has worked.

Thank you. This is directly relevant to me. And yeah, I’m an American.

Jury nullification should not be a banned topic. It’s perfectly legal and is the only direct way citizens can object to interpretations of the law. The very fact that the courts and government don’t want people to know of it is a testament to its effectiveness in cases where the public will opposes the government in matters of law. Particularly when public opinion differs drastically from a strict interpretation of the law, but most especially when citizens find a law, its often limited proponents, or its execution to be objectionable, unconscionable, cruel, or unwilling to take circumstances into consideration. It’s crucial for us to all understand our limited power over the government, especially when it’s acting in an oppressive manner, violating human rights, ignoring the principle of justice in favor of a literal interpretation, or is otherwise objectionable by the majority of citizens as opposed to the minority of lawmakers.

This isn’t “news.” We all knew this already.

Seeing as how I’d have list the last things keeping me from killing myself, I wouldn’t.

Sucks to be Russian. Still. Again.

That was damn fast, I didn’t think they’d hit Damascus this week.

What murderer? There’s an alleged person who allegedly may or may not have allegedly done something that allegedly resulted in the alleged death of that CEO. Allegedly.

Unfortunately this is America, and as members of Congress have publicly stated, there’s just nothing we can do about domestic gun violence. So even if an alleged person allegedly committed an alleged crime with a firearm, the system’s hands are tied.

Oh well. Anyway I’m gonna go eat some cake, since it’s all I have.

They’re gonna have to thanks to Jackass McKenedy, if no other reason.

We can’t. IMO unless some of the military brass grow the spines needed to actually fulfill their oaths to protect the United States from threats both foreign AND DOMESTIC, we’re all pretty well fucked.

If by empathy they mean that like most rich people he only cared about problems when they directly impacted himself, then yes he did. Unfortunately for him, when this particular problem impacted him that his empathy did nothing to help him.

I’m very much not religious, but I’m rather familiar with Christian mythology. Trump ticks off just about every box for “antichrist” and now RFK is set up to full the role of Horseman of the Apocalypse (Plague). With Putin in and Netanyahu in the running for several each, I can’t help but feel grim amusement at the fact that so many so-called Christians deliberately (and blindly) voted for their own nemesis to run things.

I know they’ve never actually read their own handbook, but it’s so absurd to see them doing exactly what alleged prophecy said they’d do. The fact that the book of Revelations was just a thinly veiled diatribe against Rome makes it almost funny that these idiots are not only once again setting history on loop, but are completely oblivious to a history that’s written in their own favorite book of fairy tales.

They might want to add a few zeroes to that number of they expect to actually get anywhere.

Way more than 30, I know that much.

Ha, I wish.

Good riddance, vertical videos are cancer, short form obliterates attention spans, and their algorithm is engineered specifically to addict people, especially kids.

Now to ban all the rest of them. Let’s start with Facebook. Twitter is already killing itself but could stand to be “helped” off the cliff.
