OT Civics Question

I have been summoned three times, two while in college. The first time I dodged it, the second time I kept my mouth shut until they asked if I was in school. The final one the case was settled.

I don't see anything wrong with it, but I can understand why people would find it an inconvenience. Whenever it comes up, I've never heard someone say "I want to do that." It's always "oh I am sorry."

Well, a jury of your peers is to limit the power of judges.

Diffusion of responsibility, we want a jury of our peers when we are the ones being accused, but we do not want to be on the jury for another.

Am I the only one annoyed at my family and friends who consistently dodge jury duty every chance they get?

I would love to serve on a jury. I know its inconvenient and can impact your life, but half of the people I'm talking about are retired.
Shoot snowflake, youre gonna be annoyed with me :(.

I DODGE IT EVERY CHANCE I GET. It sucks, you dont get paid jack, hell the parking basically puts you in the negative. If they at the fn least offered minimum wage (I make more but least it be something over the negative). Yea, I dodge that, sorry snowflake.

I hope you dont murder me in my sleep my friend!
😱

I am perplexed by it, Snowflake. I have actually tried to get unto jury duty.... but they never pick me. I always hear the attorney muttering something to the effect of "Dear god..not him". Strange.



"If I had a dollar for every gender out there, I would have two dollars now.""

On a serious note, this is so bad, my dad said if I ever get stuck going, act insane, be the most vile racist scumbag ever. Yea, youll feel bad that day and people will roll your eyes, but youll never see them again. (This is so bad, but that was my father, and Ill always love my dad for how he raised me. He was the prime model of do what I say, not what I do, but he gave me a good childhood and was a good man just made a lot of silly mistakes, sadly. Ill always love the man)

I miss my dad at times, lol.

Your dad sounds like mine...lol.

I miss mine as well.

A guy has to pick between two lawyers as he is on trial for bestiality. His friend that referred him said "The first lawyer is perfect on the facts but he cannot pick a jury to save his life. The second lawyer is mediocre at best but is an ace at picking juries." After careful consideration, the guy picks the second lawyer.

The day of the trail begins. After the plea of "Not Guilty"..the prosecutor gets to work and rails against the defendant in his opening statement. And he closes it with the most depraved acts the guy is charged with in relations to what he did with a goat. The defendant hides his face in his hands in guilt and embarrassment until he hears a juror not far away whisper to another "A good goat will do that"..and the second juror nods in agreement.

LMAO, good to know, my father was blunt and honest. He honestly got me through a lot. I remember in 8th grade this kid kept messing with me, badly, and I wouldnt fight back (Sadly, it was a 250 dollar fine and I didnt wanna put that kind of burden on my parents).

SO I finally break down and tell my father. He tells me,"No, F that, Ill pay the fine, sock him one time in the jaw."
Now was it the best advice...well lets be real. In school, youre kind of screwed. You tell the teacher youre a tattle tell p*ssy and itll come down hard on you two times as hard.

Try talking to the bully, lmao, yea gl with that,"Hey good sir, could you play stop picking on me." GL, see how that goes.

So the next day he sees me, I hit him one time across the cheek, dude goes down, and I walk off. This girl *it was 1st period* comes to class and goes,"jesus christ did you put that red mark on "Steve." (We will call him Steve.) Im like yea.

Around 5th period (I had gym....I hated having Gym that early, give me it for 7-8th period) I see him walking to the nurses office. I remember asking,"is your cheek okay?" and walked off like a boss.

O no 250 fine either, it happened all to fast. The only negative about this story, he than began to pick on one of my smaller weaker friends on his bus (We had 2 different buses). I told him what to do, but he was scared. BTW, he never looked at me, touched me, or messed with me again.....

FF to 10th grade. We got math together and he tries to impress these 2 girls by,"remember when I used to beep with you in 8th grade." Im like, O yea, didnt I hit you in the face and you never messed with me again, whaty happened. "Ahhh dude wth i didnt want any problems" and he moved to another seat. 2x glory my friends. O, and those 2 girls became friends with me ;).

All in all, I'd say it was good advice for that time period.

Sorry OT here, btw Joe...

Best story ever, I had to laugh out loud.
