I’ve seen that cop video of that poor guy getting killed by the pigs and I just don’t understand how that jury saw evidence to indicate that he didn’t simply commit murder. Does anyone have any additional info about that? I mean the video is obviously one sided. How can they not see clearly that the cop is a murderer?

It is called jury nullification, and many libertarians think it is great.

Cops benefit from jury nullification more than anyone else.

Maybe jury nullification activists were handing out flyers in front of the court.

So, the jurors decide prior to even hearing/seeing evidence that they are going to free the cop? You think they really are that organized?

That is the presumption. Innocent until proven guilty.

I think they are that brainwashed.

Wow. I guess I’m a bit naive. What a sad thing.

I’ve been playing around with bitshares, a truly decentralized crypto exchange (DEX). Aside from the 0.2% fee openledger takes off of each open asset trade it seems really nice.
They currently support BTC/LTC/Dash/ETH and many others which once gated in have little fees for transfer/trades on via the bitshares network. openledger has a gateway for all those to come in/out of the platform for now but they’re hopefully developing atomic swaps in to remove that centralization and allow a true DEX for all the crypto’s. HMU if you want to discuss any of that, they need more liquidity but otherwise seems like an amazing step forward.

Free markets for the win!

technically alcohol (all versions) is a poison; not a drug.
uses include sterilization (better methods exist)and cleaning (again better methods exist)

(putting on troll hat)
Back in the day, we used to call it “pushing people’s buttons” or “fighting words”.

It’s easy to trigger anybody as long as you know what upsets them.
For example, @FTL_Ian is easily triggered just by calling the Johnson/Weld ticket from 2016 Libertarians. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It’s such a ridiculous term. Triggered. Buncha pansy liberal college momma’s boys.

Considering Davis came from Mississippi I’d guess so. I live minutes from “The Commonwealth” and not sure I’ve ever heard anything more than a hillbilly accent. I can’t even hear what he’s saying anymore. All I can think of is the voice.
