13. I don't understand how juries get stacked. I couldn't follow what went on as closely....

as I wanted to, but I was on one jury and it went 6-1 against the alerter. I also saw at least one other jury that went 7-0 against another bogus alerter.

I support AfAm where some of the members are posters I follow closely and get learn more and get a little less stupid from them everyday. 1strongblackman got a lot of abuse, but then he is a lightening rod even while he always tells the truth 100%.

I don't think its the jury system. I think its the loosely defined and evolving meaning of what "protected" means as it applies to a protected group.

I have mixed feelings about drawing juries out of a group where the alert came from. To me it could be more fixed than open juries.
