If you believe your world is under zombie attack, then I suppose it makes sense to go outside and begin shooting at the zombies you see.

But if the zombie attack is a figment of your imagination, then a lot of innocent people are gonna get hurt.

I don’t know if it’s funny or pathetic (or maybe both), but here we are in 2016 and the people with the strongest arguments for racial segregation in our society are black. Go figure.

Just another lawless radical in the same vein as Obama.

Is this more of this fake news stuff I’ve been hearing about? Sounds kind’a crazy to me. :-)

Only one small flaw in Ms. Mystal's plan. The sort of person who wouldn't take their civic duty seriously and vote "not guilty" for a black accused of murder probably already has a felony conviction of his or her own and is ineligible to serve jury duty.

Honest, hard working people in minority-majority communities don't want these thugs roaming their streets any more than anyone else would.

Nullification is a reasonable response to the blizzard of laws of late.

Who do Blacks kill?

Black jurors would do well to think long and hard about this.

Author only wants blacks accused of killing whites acquitted.

If this gets any traction amongst black jurors, there is NO way it can be justified under the color of jury nullification.

That process involves a law that is deemed unjust. It wouldn't apply. There are strict laws concerning murder and evidence is evidence. I would say only one thing to this miscreant Elie Mystal;

Do not go into court expecting to find justice. For there you will only find The Law.

Actually, African Amrricans live in a world where other African Americans can kill them and usually get away with it.

The number of police incidents is insignificant compared to that.

Until black people take it upon themselves to not only inform to the police on the criminal scum who torment their communities but actually deal with them themselves, no matter whose little darling the criminals once were, there will never be an end to the terrors too many communities face.

You forgot to put “projectile vomit alert” in the title.

That’s the problem here.

They have become trapped in a world of illusion.

When lefties started selling welfare programs, not as a helping-hand answer to individual cases of poverty (which can help — it helped me), but as a generic propitiation, as it were, of the past ills of slavery... someone with vision could have known it was going to end up right here. Put on a slave mindset again, get really bitter about it, and before you realize it, you want everybody ELSE to be a slave too.

Christ strives valiantly (inasmuch as such an understatement can be applied to God) against such attitudes, to the point of even pardoning them if eternal salvation has been accepted. But they cannot but cause both God and ourselves ongoing grief while they are going on.

I’d have some rather cheeky things to say to those who have zoomed back into a slave mindset. Remember all those hymns they sang to Christ... and yes they did, and with sincerity. The folks who excused their own responsibility before God for enslaving them (as well as incurring a hardness of heart that probably was a chief unseen factor in precipitating the Civil War), at least still carried the gospel to them as well. And they outdid those hypocrites, because to them it was genuine, it was real. And when God answered their prayers, most of the freedmen were profoundly grateful to God.

But a few scoffed, and spread around vicious advice.

Anyhow, I’d tell those folks. If you are going to empathize with the American slaves, please do it all the way. That would be a remarkable epiphany to you. You don’t have to plot to break the bonds of men, because God has already planned it. And He has planned a plan to do it with benevolence to all.

the reality of the bell curve prevents useful thinking occurring in lots of cases.

Oh that’s right. Thanks for reminding me.

Didn’t read it here. Read it yesterday or the day before.

African-Americans live in a world where the police can murder us and get away with it.

And African-Americans live in a world where they commit over 80% of the murders but are about 13% of the population. A question that blacks need to ask themselves is why they, as a minority population, are discriminated against more than other minority groups (e.g., Asian, Pakistanis, etc.) Discrimination is a learned behavior and until we see blacks making an effort to clean up their act from within, why should anyone external to the group view them otherwise?

In my mind, one factor is the deterioration of the black family. Almost 80% of black children are raised in a home with no father present...no male role model. It takes no brains to be a father; but it takes courage and effort to be a parent. So instead of listening to Jessey and Al telling you that you are a hapless victim, why not direct that effort to strengthening the family and start taking responsibility of where you find yourself instead of blaming everyone else for your problems.

Since no decent prosecutor would allow an all black jury where the defendant is black, the best they can hope for is a mistrial.

Apparently, statistics are too difficult for him to look up. Or, too inconvenient to his claim of white jury nullification.

Blacks racists like this one did much murder and mayhem in Africa. Why should they be listened to here in America??
