There is an underlying assumption here that somehow some jurors are unbiased and some are biased. The science says that there is essentially no such thing as an unbiased juror.

Because boys. You know, boys will be boys. These fine, upstanding, football-player boys were just being boys. No need to ruin their lives just because some dumb slut got drunk and asked to be gang-raped. These poor boys have already been through enough trauma. They’ve learned their lesson. Next time they gang-rape an…

I guess that French people would taste better because of what they eat? Macarons and croissants and real butter. Yum.

What’s funny is the reverse is simply NOT true. Prosecutors pretty much never get a new trial after an acquittal. Even when there was obvious jury misconduct.

I read this as:

Easter’s credibility had been irreparably damaged by his failure to disclose the rape

If a potential juror answers that they were a victim of a crime, the follow-up is “can you remain unbiased?”

Now, I’m not one of those fancy lawyers you see running around these parts.

Vandenburg and Batey, who were due to be sentenced soon, could be set free, or Watkins could order a new trial.

I agree with this slogan! But again, not in the way that they would want.

Turning Point USA, often written about as a scrappy conservative counterpart to MoveOn.Org, was founded by “wunderkind” Charlie Kirk, a 21-year-old from Illinois who’s been the recipient of fairly glowing press from the National Journal and Bloomberg Politics.

Haha the ‘Free Education Now!’ illustration. I don’t think it means what they think it means...

Why would they spend money on these “liberal indoctrination” schools, when there are schools like Liberty and Oral Roberts*? I thought these people were capitalists.

Wow, I went to a couple of liberal colleges and barely any of this was actually mentioned. Instead my professors taught, you know, the classes that they were assigned to teach. But the real question is, Why would any of the kids reading that pamphlet throw thousands of dollars away to go to college when they believe…

I feel like “libertarian-leaning fundamentalists” is an oxymoron. They should just call it the gathering of confused nut jobs.*

“Last week, while reporting a longer story, I had the distinct pleasure of joining hundreds of libertarian-leaning fundamentalists at the Great Homeschool Convention outside LA”

i also like how this (im guessing) really pro military organization admits the army brainwashes recruits

The logical fallacies and poor writing had me baffled, until I re-read the beginning and saw “Great Homeschool Convention.”

im totally sure they got the consent of mike judge to use mr van driessen
