You will get no argument from me on that point, especially in the pre-1960s South.

If the justice system fails to administer justice or becomes a tool of social protest exploitable by grudge-seekers, then the dispensation of justice will revert to the People, and blacks will be the first to suffer.

So have it your way, bigot, and be ready to reap a sh-tstorm.

Yep, just look how they unfairly convicted O.J. Simpson of murder and promptly executed him without an appeal...oh, never mind.

Justice system is already broken by blacks. Exhibit A: OJ Simpsons.

“About 36 years ago I had a female federal prosecutor tell me that in the late 80s they were already experiencing difficulty in getting inner-city black jurors to convict African Americans for black on white crimes.”

Uh, you might want to proofread that one. Thirty six years ago was the year 1980 I believe.

“Blacks must stick up for blacks.”

Absolutely, it’s their only defense against the racists...uh, why does that sound wrong somehow?

Black criminals have already broken the judicial system by committing crimes at rates 5+ times that of criminals of other races. This stretches police resources to the max, causing them to end up in risky situations more often. It also overcrowds jails and prisons, leading to plea bargains and early releases, long periods before trials, etc. All these things create situations that end up with shootings.

This guy’s rant is another verse in the old song of “blacks have different values about crime, and reject the laws as enforced by whitey. If black criminals can’t rob, rape, and murder with impunity, the system is racist.” The problem is hat this leaves non-criminal blacks and everyone else to suffer as prey. Why does he pander to the desires of criminals instead of the safety of law-abiding people of any race? The jerk is delusional.

“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.”

Not segregation; separation. Separate countries.

It’s either that or this constant low-grade warfare, which will only intensify with time.

I don't think the race of the victim has anything to do with it. I've had lawyers tell me the same thing about inner-city black jurors regardless of who the victims were.

You're looking at an entire culture that has no place in the modern world. Something as simple as standards of conduct and written laws to govern a social order are completely alien to these people.

I was on a jury recently—a civil case, only 8 jurors. The plaintiff was a black woman who was asking for about half a million dollars because she had been fired (for not doing her job). The company was represented by a very competent black lawyer. There was one black person on the jury, a retired man, who had no trouble voting against the plaintiff.

Jury nullification is a real check to unlawful laws (like concealed carry permits) and judicial activism as it was in the past. unfortunately people are usually fined and punished in commercial administrative courts not real courts. AKA $100,000 fines for not baking a cake.

As for when jury nullification based on race started, we might want to look back at an era in our history when only people of one race were allowed on juries.>>> very true but look out for the knuckle draggers.

Certain groups seem to be getting stupider by the day.
