I understand the concept of jury's and lay judges. However hearing the "reasoning" from some lay judges when deciding on whether someone is guilty or not is frightening."He used to be in the army, no way would he do that." "She is ugly, why would anyone rape her." "People from 'insert random eastern European country' always steal." And that's what they sometimes say around the legally trained judge. I can't even imagine what they say when alone. Of course not all of them are like that. Those are extreme examples. But still worrying.

Me? It is not me spamming the thread with tweets not related to the EU. Keep trying to pin this on me.

Yeah? So why does he not make a new thread? I'll tell you why. He has no clue what countries are in the EU.

You really struggle with defining EU don't you. Switzerland is, just like the UK, not a part of the EU. Keep trying. Eventually you might strike gold.

I read his now. I am not a lay judge and was not talking about lay judges. Lay judges are somewhat comparable to a US jury. I would very much like to get rid of them. However they normally have very little influence on the outcome of a case (there are exceptions at district court level but those verdicts regularly gets overturned in the court of appeal where the lay judges are fewer than the legally trained judges) A bit difficult to explain. But also very different system compared to the US.

Jimmy Kimmel Canceled
AverageAllensSuspensor replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Companisation/organisation firing people over opinions and what they have said is, sometimes, bad. The government interfering and influencing with such decisions is always disastrous. Now I do not know exactly why Kimmel or any of the others were fired etc. But the government interfering is always a much worse attack on free speech. Media and social media platforms etc. are of course free (well.. should be anyway) to choose whom they allow on their channels. A network cancelling someone without government influence is not an attack on free speech. In fact it is quite the opposite (free media is important). A network cancelling someone after government interference is a huge attack on free speech. -
The way Ravens keep blowing huge leads in the 4th quarter I would not dare let LJ sit if I was Harbaugh. He did not play the last drive yesterday. A bit of a gamble. 😀

Yeah. Right. I do not make any political posts on social media. In fact I don't post anything at all apart from an occasional food photo. Also I live in Sweden. Swedish police had very little to do with Floyd.

Well. Judges in the US are elected and/or appointed by politicians in charge? I do not even know. But such a system probably increases the risk of judges ruling according to certain political views. The political view of judges in Sweden is normally completely unknown. The systems are very different in many ways. Judges "overruling" political decisions is extremely rare. Such cases are almost unheard of. I do criminal law and civil law. So I would never try a political decision. I guess I in theory could find a certain law does not comply with our fundamental law/constitution. That is however extremely unlikely.

I don't read the guardian. I actually looked for what the official numbers from the police was since they claimed the official number from the police was 3 000 000. That might have been an official number from a police in captivity or one hit in the head from one of multiple flying objects. You can relax. Judges in Sweden are not political. I would never let political opinion affect my job. There are alot of laws I don't like or agree with. That does not matter. It is not my job to change the law.

For sure. But quite far from 3 million. I don't get the need to exaggerate like that. For sure. But quite far from 3 million. I don't get the need to exaggerate like that. For sure.

So I don't know why you would say that. Edit: I did not intend to reply to you a million times Mr Bundy. Technical failure.

30 secs on "3 000 000 patriots on the streets?". Not likely since the actual number was around 110 000. Fox however might please you.

More like the Alaska vomit. 🤢

No violence coming from a guy having spent time in prison for assulting a police officer among other things. He has also tried to enter the US using a false passport and served time for it. Your hero picks never fail to surprise.

Remembering Charlie Kirk
AverageAllensSuspensor replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Living abroad I had never heard of him until last evening (local time). I don't think I agree with him on most (if any) topics. But that does not matter. From what I can tell he stood up for his beliefs and tried to get youth involved in politics by talking to them. That I can always respect. RIP. This act was absolutely horrible and has caused alot of damage. First and foremost to Kirk and his family, near and dear. But also to the US and the western world. It increases the divide which is never a good thing. I hope (I don't pray since I'm not religious) they catch the assassin as soon as possible.
