The idea is that one tries to suppress his biases and you hope that the remaining biases of twelve people cancel each other out.
Many, many moons ago I worked with a salesman who dreamed of mowing down black people with a machine gun. He told this to me openly.
Still preferable to basically any other system.
At the very least, the idea was that those biases would cancel eachother out in some way and they could compromise. It's the same idea with checks and balances.
But bro, the defense is rock solid!
May I ask how you two got on the topic of "mowing down black people". That seems like a strange conversation to have at work.
I have a variety of types of 7.62x54r I would be more than willing to donate to such a cause.
Having worked with many salesmen over the years it is exactly the kind of thing they will tell you without prompting.
People are saying this case is proof that the system is broken and should be torn down, but the system is the US Constitution and has all those nice things like the right to due process, the right to an attorney, the right against self incrimination, etc. The problem is the people running the system that view the constitution as a roadblock to navigate at best and toilet paper at worst, not the foundations of the system itself.
Gun sales are still through the roof as it is. Biden is a better gun salesman than Obama, and that dude moved a lot of product
60% guilty, 35% hung jury / mistrial, 5% full acquittal.
This was decades ago and the guy was a blowhard who liked to talk shit.
Reminder the prosecution (selected by the state and probably paid by the mayor of kenosha) violated the 5th amendment in 3 separate occasions and only stopped because the judge told them to, they have probably gotten away with breaking constitutional rights in all of their other cases where the judge didn't care as much
I once had a car salesman actually smack the trunk and say "you can fit 3-4 bodies in there!"
If you haven't already "restructured how you think about the current situation in the US" you just have not been paying attention. We are living in Germany 1933--only with niggers and smartphones.
Which is why I'm shocked the prosecution finally went all Muh State Lines. There are probably people on that jury who know of a cool little coffeehouse or antique shop in or near Antioch. Maybe they drive through every other month or so to see their sister and nephews. They fucking *know* how far away it is. "He had no ties to our community." Which "big" community is nearer? Ain't Chicago. Ain't Milwaukee. Ain't even Racine. The kid is supposed to what? Feel more affinity for Grayslake because it's on the right side of the border?
I think they're prosecuting for the media and maybe are out of touch because Binger is from far out of town.
More like 1923 Germany. We've got a long way to go before we see the correction.
