Who here is willing to lose weeks or MONTHS of pay to jury duty?

[LJ_Reloaded]

Would you choose getting out of jury duty or would you go without days, weeks or months of pay to be on a jury?

To get out of jury duty just tell 'em you believe in jury nullification. When asked about this, explain that you would not have voted 'guilty' for Rosa Parks, or any Occupy Wall Streeter, because you feel some laws are unfair.

Bam. It's the foolproof Culture Gridfire attack on jury duty.

This thread is being posted as a giant FUCK YOU to jury duty. You fuckers in the courts are utterly powerless.

I once thought I'd make a good juror.

Now I realize that the system only is concerned with winning, rather than justice.

 

[RobDownSouth]

My company makes up the difference between my salary and jury pay, so I'm okay with jury duty.

i disrespect people who scheme to get out of jury duty.

So what exactly is LT wanting here? No more juries?

Frontier justice. Shooting trespassers, lynching rustlers and incarcerating furriners.

People never want to do jury duty but they sure as fuck want a jury when they need one. Same with lawyers. Scum of the earth till you need one.

Jurors should definitely be paid a higher per diem.

They could pay for that with a tax on the wealthiest 1% of the criminals.

Typical Lib, demonizin' the 1%. They're not "criminals", they're "crime creators", dedicated people who endeavor mightily to provide jobs for police, jail personnel and courtroom employees.

Phrodeau, why do you hate Amurica?

Ayup. Got a problem with that?

A good American does his/her duty, out of a sense of duty and not for financial gain.

I hope we go to war with China just to see the Army draft your ass sorry for mess duty.

How bout stability? It's not like a lot of us can afford to take a few months off from work. I know I'd be out on the streets if I had to take three or more months off from work.

The Army would pay me, and rather well under the circumstances you're talking about.

Ah, the American justice system, where your fate is decided by 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty.

Of course, you could always just friend request the defendant or prosecutor.

How can you call yourself a patriot when you refuse to do your civic duty and participate in one of the founding principles of the justice system? Or are you just a dick?

You mean why should I give up my freedom so the government can tell people what to do?

Ah, you're not a patriot, you're an anarchist.

because it's an essential part of our justice system.

it is a civic duty.

it's an integral part of a fair trial and due process.

your screen name is a misnomer.

you may be a lover. you ain't no patriot.

 

[PatriotLover]

Ah, you're not a patriot, you're an anarchist.

Knew it wouldn't be long for the liberal ad hom attacks to begin.

I want a government limited to the rule of The Constitution. What's the point of juries when some liberal judge is going to make their own unique law up anyway?
