Data Graham posted:Judge: "The jury finds in favor of the defendants." That's actually it. Marshals wanted to take his just-found-not-guilty client Ammon Bundy back to jail since he still has to stand trial in Nevada for the 2014 Bunkerville Standoff. He 'protested' and yelled at the judge. Six marshals tazed him. Lol.

No, his defendent is still in custody because he has a trial in NV. His lawyer was saying "Well you've found him not-guilty on this that means he's not-guilty of everything!"

Getting hit with that TASER is going to make him millions. If I were guilty as hell, I’d hire him. Sneaking one idiot on the jury and getting a hung jury is a job well done. Packing the jury with twelve idiots is a masterstroke. Johnnie Cochran has nothing on that.

I know you all are freaking out, and I hate the Dildo Squad as much as the next guy, but maybe we should wait until we declare or entire justice system a failure. I mean, Italy still uses theirs and they overturned a a rape conviction because the girls pants were too tight.

I think that the jury made a very deliberate choice voting the way they did as there was more than enough info to put them all away on conspiracy.

Yeah, I'm ok with fuckers that drive on someone else's lawn to get nails in their tire. If you don't agree with someone's choice for Presidential candidate, you don't demonstrate that by trying to suppress their free speech on their own property. You do it by voting. I swear both sides of the political divide have become so dickish and childish over the last 20 years.

Attractive nuisance, as Memento points out, appears to only affect kids. Booby trap laws also appear to only cover personal injury, not property injury. chitoryu12 posted:Also you walk on their lawn and pull the signs off. Saves you tires.

Yeah, I know. It's just now that I'm older I get to pull the "THINGS WERE BETTER, MORE PURE WHEN I WAS YOUNG! LIKE BIG SHOULDER PADS AND POOFY HAIR!" I just hate national elections. Not the elections themselves, but that it brings out the worst in just about everyone.

Anyone who tries to stifle it based on race is racist. Anyone who tries to marginalized the victim based off the victim's race is equally as racist. There is no sliding scale. There is no 'your race had it good last decade so now it is mines turn.' Just be civil people to each other. gently caress.

You all probably won't believe me, but most gun owners are scared as poo poo of breaking the law while in possession of a firearm because of how the law reads with firearms.

In 1800, when Vice-President Jefferson was running against President Madison, he had his team accuse Madison of being a "hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman" so Madison's people fired right back with calling Jefferson "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father." So sexist/racist/bigoted insults have a long history here. At least these two managed to write the Constitution before succumbing to lovely pettiness.

When Lincoln was nominated in 1860, the convention nominations were supported by loud applause and shouting as a sort of straw poll of popularity. Prior to the day of nomination and balloting, Lincoln's supporters forged thousands of tickets to the convention; they crowded in on the crucial morning, taking up much of the available seating and leaving Seward's supporters outside. The resulting approval noise overwhelmed supporters for the other candidates, suggesting to delegates which way the political winds were blowing. http://www.greatamericanhistory.net/nomination.htm

Trump supporters have a persecution complex, so ripping up their signs is only going to confirm their own beliefs and make them even more rabid in their support. Its counterproductive no matter how much you hate Trump's guts(and boy do I).

I can't really condone this. Mostly because there is nothing funnier than the day after an election when all of these signs are completely gone. While Trump rightfully inspires a lot of hate, it's something else when you go to work early in the morning and see these redfaced assholes fuming with defeat slink out to grab the sign and take them inside. I remember it fondly in 2012 when some guy with a big Romney sign (that was put out after the first debate) had to schlep that back in with all the grace of a man defeated on some deep, basic level. And I've seen Trump supporters with much, much bigger signs. So don't let your hate get to you. You want revenge? Grab your phone and go outside and wait to see how many signs are still out right after midnight. That's when you can hear the swearing of the impotent loser as they try to salvage their dignity by pretending the sign was never there at all. It's beautiful to behold.

The nitty-gritty details are often interesting, but not really things they have time to cover in schools until you get to a specialized college course. There's too much ground to cover to not just hit the broad strokes and keep moving.

Assuming Trump does lose(please God), its going to be some grade-A prime schadenfreude when we get to see all of that footage from his headquarters event where all the supporters are there crying their eyes out. It was great with Romney but it'll be ten times better this time.
