That doesn’t work anymore. Judges have started ordering juries to find defendants guilty, and throwing jurors in the can for contempt of court if they don’t.
We had a case in my AO recently where a cop stopped a woman in labor as she drove herself to the hospital. Ticketed her for doing 45 in a 35. And then said turd-with-a-badge wouldn’t escort her to the hospital.
When it all went to court, said turd-with-a-badge brought two other turds-with-a-badge to stare at her and her husband in order to try to intimidate. The turd-in-black robes found then her guilty.
What country am I living in? I don’t recognize it anymore. But I do know this.
I don’t trust anyone connected to the ‘legal’ system. They are pi$$ing all over what this nation is about, and getting away with it because too many people say we must ‘obey’ people like Obama, Reid, Pelosi, and Schumer.
Its gotta change, or we are going to turn into a totalitarian state. All because of the fiction that we must obey authority. Yes, Murder, rape, robbery are bad, and must be punished. But when a guy is charged for trying to get his wife help for a stroke... well then, maybe its time to start thinking about how broken the third branch of government is, and how it needs to be reined in.
Something like this?
