    Jury nullification should become routine in this country. The media should be discussing this openly, and encouraging it.

    We should make it very clear that the citizens will NOT tolerate this bullshit in our courts.

      They’re literally arresting people for touching chips of peeled up sealant. Doesn’t take much to find somebody Not Guilty for that

        They just wrote all those people checks for false arrest and defamation and they will be quite large ones indeed.

            Yes, give it ten years and the government will try to quietly settle for a large sum. Generally you can’t sue the government for damages except for cases of actual malice.

    I bet it’s not the people who fucked it up that got arrested. Just the bystanders launching at it.

      It was the aliens, I have video evidence I’ll show in court

      Edit: I meant extraterrestrials. Only after clicking send did I remember that the trump crowd uses the word alien for immigrants. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
