      He’s not getting a jury. They’re going to cut him down and say he shot himself so his legacy will be that he was a coward . At least that will be the attempt but it seems like everyone will know better

        This exactly my thought. They will do everything to make him crazy or suicidal.The good thing is that someone leak what he wrote on the casing. This makes it clear he is socially motivated. Hopefully, if they ever close in, he will have an online stream up.

        He should walk naked into a major TV studio carrying nothing, ask them to call the cops. Force them to accept a surrender.

        Most Americans didn’t see any crime…

        You are assuming that this saint protector of the working people could be presumably guilty of a crime

          Oh no, I’m not talking about this case. Just in general, it’d be good of Americans to inform themselves on that.

          Good luck going though the search history of every single person up for jury selection.

          Also, a “private window” won’t lean jack shit, just means your local personal files won’t save what you do. Cookies and Google and whatnot still do.

          If you want to be anon, use TOR with VPN or at least a VPN.

            If people with intelligence and empathy skip out on jury duty, that leaves idiots and sociopaths to judge the accused.

              Well unfortunately I have a job and a mortgage. If the trial goes longer than the few days that my employer is forced to pay me, and I’m stuck with the $50 a day the state pays, I’m fucked. I don’t consider living on the street a civic duty.

                That’s fair and I’ve had to bail on jury duty for the same reason, although I was able to participate once.
