Zimmerman found innocent despite media/govt bias! :)

My bad MindAbiding dude

Yeah, I can see now that all the examples I listed were all things committed by Muslim terrorists; I wasn't really trying to single them out specifically like that, they're just the terrorist activities that I was able to think of off the top of my head ya know.
They just happen to be in the news and stuff more right now so they're closer to the front of my mind so to speak.

I doesn't matter to me if they're Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Atheist or whatever, if they're committing these sorts of crimes then they need to be locked up away from the general public, otherwise more innocent people would become their victims.

Nah that's not what this was about MindAbiding  dude! Sorry for going there again.

Purple_Drank (what is that handle all about btw?)

I can see why you think I was being an asshole..not my intention. Just bad wording on my part or maybe a misunderstanding on your part. Savvy doesn't mean intelligent it's an English word meaning streetwise...or seeing through the crap! I never said anything about "better than" Anyhoo that's not what I meant at all.

I'm not too sure about locking people up just because they might turn out to be bad....that stinks of what the Nazis did and is not right ...not right at all.

Peace dude sorry for any misunderstandings.

Funny thing about it, a black women on a jury of 6 women, found him innocent and acquitted Zimmerman. Nuff said.

That is something that is very different to the UK system. Your Jury selection: Ours is simply done by random selection through the post. You get called and you sit! I believe in the States you get called and then selected after being questioned by both sets of lawyers.

I'm only going by Grisham novels so I may be talking out of my arse here!

Right on Caesar Dude

My name is just from an old song from back when I was in high school (by Lil Flip, it's kind of a parody/skit of Prince - Purple Rain) and it's just become the username I use for my personal accounts (personal email, forums and things like that), I just use my name for my professional type account (work email, college stuff and things like that).
I really don't even listen to rap anymore but I've just been using that username so long that it's stuck

I don't mean to lock up people who "might turn out to be bad", I mean the people who've already proven that they're going to do these horrible things (or if they're caught before they get the chance but the evidence proves that they fully intended to commit a terrorist act [like if they're on their way to commit the crime or the police get a tip and catch them at their hideout with all the equipment or whatever to commit the crimes])

Yeah, our jury system is a group of people randomly selected and sent a letter to appear for jury duty then they're questioned by the prosecution and defenses attorneys to make sure that they're non-biased, although I'm sure some biased people get through their questioning and make it to the jury sometimes.

That's basically the way it works. Both sides must agree on a juror in order for them to be selected. Of course, each side tries to pick jurors they think may be helpful to their side. For the smaller cases, it usually works out pretty well. But for the bigger ones, like the Zimmerman trial, it gets much more complicated. Even after a jury is selected, the judge presiding over the trial can give them specific instructions, like not being able to consider certain types of evidence, for example. The big law firms that try these cases will sometimes hire mock jurors and have a mock trial, just to see which type of people will vote a certain way, and use that in the selection process of the real trial.

You are correct, Sir.

They had a guy on the news saying he thought it was just a publicity stunt.

Well, I don't think Zimmerman needs anymore publicity. Maybe he needs to abide, but more publicity, nah!

[purple_drank]

Yeah, that poor man will never have a moments peace for the rest of his life
