That's what I attempted to draw out of him back a few pages (p.13) ... but he didn't respond.

He thinks he's defending the Bill of Rights, but he doesn't seem to understand that one man's rights end where they infringe on another man's rights.

No lol... Your Rights ended where the Government said so.
10 round magazine limits in some States are proof of this.
And if You don’t see that, then you deserve a limitation.

No Dumbass, Your Rights End Where My Rights (and the Rights of Others) Begin!

I wonder if you were as well liked in Great Britain as you are here....Or were you forced to leave?

I guess we'll never know!

Anyone else remember when Sunday was the standard day for meltdowns? It was a running joke at some point but it was also a tradition and I think there’s something to be said for traditions.

You fucking morons.


I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

So I am curious, was he acquitted due to the fact that the court did not believe he really meant it?

So basically unless someone actually killed an ICE agent and cited his communication he is ok?

So what if someone did the same to him?

I guess it makes sense a bit since people have been saying the same about Trump and while they normally get a visit by the SS they are not often arrested unless the SS believes they pose a credible threat.

The lengths some will go to rather than admitting they're wrong.

No, you don't have the right to make threats. It's also worth pointing out that the Constitution doesn't grant the right of free speech, or to bare arms. It limits what the government may do in both cases.

We all have natural rights, but those are not unlimited. Point of fact, the limit is often when you intersect with someone else's rights. Such as your speech being free, until you threaten harm to someone else.

I'm disappointed in both members, but at least one is an adult.


Prof. Walter Williams wrote the following:
quote:
At least in the standard historical usage of the term, a right is something that exists simultaneously among people. A right confers no obligation on another. For example, the right to free speech is something we all possess. My right to free speech imposes no obligation upon another except that of non-interference. Similarly, I have a right to travel freely. That right imposes no obligation upon another except that of non-interference.

I don't know. I could be wrong, but I don't think anybody ever advertised that they will pay others to kill the President. Other shit, yes, but they are not the same thing as what the asshole of the OP solicited.

Agreed...just trying to understand why he was acquitted, was there a valid legal reason or was it due to the location of the trial and the bias of the court.

Doesn't the presiding judge have the authority to override the jury? I seem to recall that in the past.

Sometimes the Judge is the problem by the way the instructions to the jury are worded.

Like I said in a previous post this could be bad investigation, bad prosecutor/great defense attorney, bad judge (by allowing what is entered into evidence and what isn't or rulings during trial or jury instructions), bad jury selection or just a liberal jury doing jury nullification (going to acquit regardless of evidence). None of us sat through the trail, so we don't know. We do know, thanks to Para, of a similar case in Asheville NC resulting in a conviction.

Most states give judges the power to overrule a jury verdict if the jury finds the defendant guilty. Judge can say, sorry jury, you are wrong, I am actually finding him not guilty.

It does not work the other way around. If a jury finds you not guilty the judge cannot overturn that verdict. The prosecutor also has no power to appeal a not guilty verdict by a jury.

That is why "jury nullification" is such a powerful tool.
