It is the most important question being asked of dozens of New Yorkers lined up as potential jurors for the trial of Cecily McMillan, an Occupy Wall Street activist accused of assaulting a police officer: what do you think of her protest movement?

Unfortunately for those keen on the swift procession of justice, a series of Manhattan residents who presented themselves at the criminal courthouse this week declared that they strongly disagreed with it – and could not promise to be impartial about one of its members.

“I’m involved in Wall Street things. I’m on the Wall Street side, not their side,” George Yih, one of a group of prospective jurors whose names were plucked from a tombola by the clerk, said under questioning from Judge Ronald Zweibel on Wednesday. “They can protest all they want, but they can’t brainwash my mind.”(continued)

I was ordered to serve on a jury ONCE.
After interviewing me, publicly, the defense attorney dismissed Mrs. HardAss.

I have yet to get another summons. That was 10 years ago. I do NOT like judging my fellow citizens, even though it was PATENTLY obvious that the four felons were guilty of yet a fifth felony. The four of them were accused of robbing a man at gunpoint, with witnesses. Geez. Bunch of moron losers!

Yay.

“Occupy fulfilled a lot of expectations. They’ve become real scumbags.”
