If they have been arrested, they should publish their names, then we can go to the Sheriff Web site, see their pictures, google them and see if they are Professional Leftist Protesters. (code pink, LA ANSWER)

You aren't saying anything that negates the fact that juries can acquit if they please no matter what the law says.

SAMUEL CHASE (1804): The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES (1920): The jury has the power to bring a verdict in the teeth of both the law and the facts.

U.S. vs. DOUGHERTY (1972) [D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals]: The jury has...."unreviewable and irreversible power...to acquit in disregard of the instructions on the law given by the trial judge."


Sorry but a jury trial isn't supposed to hand down the verdict you or I agree with. Its just a simple straightforward fact.

Was it Shakespeare who said “shoot the Lawyers”?


It was “kill,” not “shoot.”

And it was an evil character created by Shakespeare who proposed it as a means of oppression of the innocent.

(Probably not what you assumed).

You're right; not what I assumed.

I stand corrected, it wasn't "shoot the Lawyers"; it was "kill the Lawyers".

I would settle for long-term incarcerations for the parasitic ambulance-chasers and word-parsers.

These guy are smarter than I gave them credit for. Their common goal seems to be free housing, food, healthcare, etc. without all the unpleasantness of getting out and working. Perhaps these folks can get that now, at least for 7 to 10 years.

I had been taught that islam translates literally to “submit” or “submission”. Muslims are crazy enough, you don’t have to mis- represent things.

Yeah; I've always said, though, that "we can't ALL go on welfare at the same time; that won't work"

"I guess they won't be voting, huh?"

Sadly, one really can't be sure of that.

I know Beckett is reading this but a few of us have noticed how the poster is a troll always letting us know what groups are doing these protests, updating us on how many there are etc

won’t condemn these fools, said they were with ANSWER and won’t tell us what their username was before they re-registered of which they did admit they did re register.

Always seems to disappear when questions arise too why is that Beckett08?
Why not talk about other issues too?

Now the poster has jihad, I guess their version of jihad is the left wing agenda while coming on here giving us links to their lefty sites to bump up hits etc

As far as the word Jihad is concerned there is a misconception not only among the Non-Muslims, but also among some Muslims. What most people think is that any war fought by any Muslim for any reason, whether it be for his personal gains, whether it be for political gains, whether it be for language or whether it be for colour, it is called as Jihad. Jihad does not mean any war fought by any Muslim; Jihad comes from Arabic word “Jahada” which means to strive to struggle; so Jihad basically means to strive or struggle.

In Islamic context it means to strive against one’s own evil inclinations, it also means to strive to make the society better, it even includes striving in the battlefield to fight in self-defense and it also means to fight against oppression and tyranny. Therefore, it means to strive or struggle.

I grew up in the same church as the police officer, Vernon. His son was murdered. He used to talk at the youth camp. (John MacArthur’;s church in Sun Valley.

“Therefore, it means to strive or struggle.”

Ohhh...I thought it meant to fly planes into buildings to kill 3000 innocent civilians. Your way sounds much nicer. See ya.

Agree , cashing a large phony check is more serious than jaywalking, but not as serious as the Wall St bandits and Fed stealing trillions from the taxpayers. We need to see some major prosecutions of Goldman and others. They need to face repercussions from the worthless lackadaisical Obama administration.

The banksters stole our money broke the bank and they need much more than a slap on the wrist. Politicians won’t do anything about it because they are all owned. We need to demand accountability before the statute of limitations is up, which most certainly their plan. .

JOHN JAY (1794): The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy.

***

This is why trial by jury is so important.

Thank you.
