No this person is not famous

Well, with bill C-51 in Canada, they are actually going to require the defense to disclose their evidence beforehand.

Just an awful person whom I no longer speak to outside of accidents

I think John the Other covered that.

That means that Jian Ghomeshi would be in prison now.

If he had been tried with that law in effect.

Really it's sickening how rape has been weaponized

Feminist/victim organizations are trying to make it illegal to present some types of exculpatory evidence in court.

Of course they are it is about power not justice

I can only speak to the two cases I have dealt with in grand jury, both of which we sent to trial on a 7/0 vote including 3 men and 4 women.

One was a 17yo who allegedly forced sex on a 14yo.

Yes, the bar for a grand jury is pretty low.

As they say, you can indict a cheese sandwich.

They other was a serial pedophile.

Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is ignored many times these days

My issue is not with grand juries.

By pedophile, the victims were all 14-17

My issue is with the presumption of guilt

Yes, mine too.

I presume innocence but then review the facts presented and make the best decision i can

Yes if that person is a pedophile they should absolutely be behind bars, but I need to assume they are innocent until proven guilty no matter how heinous the crime

We've interrogated the police investigators pretty hard

Many people do not

How did you interrogate the police investigators as part of a grand jury?

We are an investigative body. We can question the witnesses brought before us.

Directly

It's pretty empowering

I was pretty ruthless with the detectives on the pedophile case because the girls looked pretty old and I wanted to fully understand what the accused knew of their ages

When I was presented with evidence that he was picking them up at school, I was satisfied

Makes sense.

Likewise, two guys were ruthless on the detective on the 17yo rape case. They demanded the entire text conversation be read to us where he essentially admitted to doing it. They weren't satisfied with just the victim's testimony under oath.

I really, really hope that people do continue taking this seriously,

The "believe the victim" narrative is vomit inducing to me.

The entire language is centered around manipulation, i.e. implying that there is a victim even.

It presupposes, linguistically, what is to be proven.

I detest that.

Ultimately I am more inclined to believe those who testify under oath. If they lie, throw the book at them.

Yes, which should happen more often.

I think perjury is a huge issue.

If we had done that, Crystal Mangum would not have gone on to murder her boyfriend later.

I say victim on the basis of the texts which convinced me. It'll be up to the actual jury to decide although I expect that one to end in a plea bargain. He incriminated himself.

At least Mike Nifong saw more consequences than usual.

Yes, I don't mean you specifically.

I just hate what the media are doing now, that they call accusers, across the board "victims".

And bullshit like "believe the victim".

Well ... a falsely accused person can be a victim. Duh.

The grand jury is a critical defense against tyranny...assuming the jurors take their role seriously

Al I can say is that we do

They better do.

It's a decision about someone else's life.

"Beyond a reasonable doubt" must be beyond a reasonable doubt.

Anyway. I have to go.

I'll check up on shitposting.

I gotta get started on the day, too. My cred as a woman falters a bit on the shopping thing. Never could get into it. 😕

RIP

Jim has gone off the rails...

what's with all those lefties going insane?!

TJ Kirk is also a prime example of this shit

When was Jim on the rails?

Holy shit

The only thing that really bothers me about Jims video is that it doesn't address the fact that his own network has been also blaming violence on video games for quite a while. He's not wrong to say that Fox News can be wrong for criticizing video games for violence, and he's in the right for wanting to go after DT for wanting to censor video games. However, the fact that Extra Credits, Errant Signal, and Feminist Frequency (to which Jim at one time supported) made claims that violent video games should be discouraged from being made and he sat there with his head up his ass not saying anything like a dumbass, it says a lot about his own hypocrisy. It's like he wants to be a sort of left-leaning libertarian, but he's so annoyed by how libertarians act that he does a 180 when it's convenient.

"It's okay when we do it."

Jim's success is predicated on noncontroversial opinions that offset his brainlet ones

All of which he "pretends" to be egotistical about

Almost every time I'm linked a hot Jim take, it's something I could have found on YouTube years prior

The remainder of the time it's him shitting on people he disagrees with for dumb reasons

Jim is right for wanting to complain to Trump about his stance on Video Games, but you know what.

I think there is a larger chance that Trump can be convinced that Video Games don't cause Violence than there is one of convincing Fat Boy Jim there that they don't cause sexism.

I don't care what Trump thinks about video games as long as it doesn't become legislation. And for consistency, the same goes for Trudeau

I do not give one solitary fuck if some Boomer or GenXer thinks poorly of electronic toys

Nor do I care that le fat millenial egoman thinks they're problematic

He can fear the tiddy all he wants. Don't bother giving him attention

Oh I don't

👌

Tbh if all unannounced games that came out between now and the end of time was bland SJW schlock I could pretty comfortably sit through that. There's enough old, good stuff they can't touch that I'll die before I finish it all

Especially at my new vidya rate of a few hours/week

TDS is still going on?

Shit is becoming real in Tijuana. I hope things don't end up badly.And I hope the marabunta doesn't come to my city..

Things will end up badly.

They have to for people to realize that shit is going down.

people are just too stupid to realize what will happen in the Future, if it doesn't affect them.

They have to see real shit to realize that there is really something going on.

For example the migrants in Europe.

I'm wondering how much longer it can go on before the MSM are forced to widely cover it as major top of page news

Is Evergreen still alive?

Or are they going to shut down?

I'd say they should convert it into a homeless shelter.

That's kind of what it already is.

lel

Oh, ESC is still a thing.

And I use "thing" loosely

not as loosely as they use it ...

lololololololol
