Depends on the case but in my experience it's as easy as saying you have personal experience with the subject matter of the crime that prevents you from being unbiased, or even that you have close family that works in law enforcement and has prejudiced your view. but that was before they actually make the selection out of the jury pool

I’ll let you in on the secret. You do not have to ever show up for a jury summons, they cannot prove you ever received it because the government is a bunch of grifting thieves and didn’t splurge on certified mail. They will only do this for something like a grand jury summons. Also check your local laws, in many cities if they mail you a photo traffic ticket there isn’t shit they can do to punish you unless it’s personally served to you or given by a cop within 90 days of the ticket.

it's pretty easy to get out of jury duty, during the selection stage both sides ask you questions about the case and if you may have trouble being impartial, you just say yes.

this is the much easier and more socially acceptable way of getting out than the common moronic advice you hear like "read mein kampf" or "say you hate minorities", which is given by people who have obviously never went to the selection, or people daydreaming about being funny and random

for example during a medical malpractice case, your uncle is a doctor so it might be hard for you to find a healthcare professional at fault since you know what they go through for their patients. or you were personally wronged by a doctor. or you think of doctors as very dismissive of their patients.

even if one side can obviously tell you're lying (btw the lawyers can clearly tell you just want to get out of jury duty, sometimes you can see them openly rolling their eyes at the "reasons"), they will not take a chance selecting you when you might possibly sabotage their case being irrational.

also if they refuse you, they just put you back in the pool of jurors, and you might get picked for a less interesting case like a generic slip and fall on a business sidewalk or whatever, where the lawyers might not care and just select you.

btw i was selected for a jury it was one of the most interesting experiences of my life, so I would think about giving it a shot if it's not too long of a case.

>>22140385
this depends on where you are, many counties can and will issue bench warrants if you repeatedly ignore them. doesn't seem fair because they can't prove you got it but that doesn't stop them.

>in many cities if they mail you a photo traffic ticket there isn’t shit they can do to punish you unless it’s personally served to you or given by a cop within 90 days of the ticket.
this is also somewhat misleading, they can prove you received it by you visiting the website on the ticket and viewing the video from the camera. if you view that video and refuse to pay thinking "these glowies have no idea i received this hehehe" you're going to face further retaliation

I was on a 9 week murder trial a few years back. It was a very interesting experience I thought.
I showed up in a dress shirt, suit pants, and dress shoes as I wanted to be selected.
I vividly remember when one other guy my age (early 20s) walked in the courtroom with a hoody, ripped jeans and was smiling rather smugly, he was rejected by the prosecutor. So my advice is to act like a hoodlum and show obviously that you have no respect for the whole proceedings and I think that would help.

After the trial the judge gave every juror a chance to have 8 years of exemption from being called again. I declined, I hope I get called again. I probably won't get another interesting case to be on, and maybe my thoughts about the experience will change, but I would recommend it to people who are very opposed to the idea.

in america businesses bend us over at every opportunity. on my jury there were 2 people who just weren't getting paid and it was absolutely depressing to see how upset they were coming every day.

the clueless woman who ushered us through jury duty selection told us loudly and repeatedly "your employer MUST compensate you for jury duty", but that's like a feel good law that doesn't actually work as well as it should. in actuality a lot of them don't because what are you really going to do about it?

if you raise a stink they can simply fire you because almost every state features at-will employment where they are free to fire whoever they want. nobody is going to willingly lose their job and go through a lengthy process just for 1 week's pay. especially when you consider the huge amount of americans living paycheck to paycheck and simply can not afford to lose their job to take a stand against their employer taking advantage of them.

to be honest this is probably the most legitimate criticism people have about jury duty. most are barely scraping by and can't afford to go on a little vacation to play law and order because they know the government refuses to have their backs if their employer fucks them. we would have a much easier time finding jurors if we had decent labor protections in place like a civilized country.

"I Still Unload": This Man Is a "Nullo" Who Removed His Penis and Balls
559.91K

Simon Davis

10/16/14 11:10AM

Filed to: INTERVIEWS

In 1994, a South Florida man who goes by the name Gelding was surgically castrated. In 2011, he had his penis removed as well. He's a "nullo": A cisgender man who removes his external genitalia completely as a form of body modification, and he recently agreed to answer our questions—from "why?" to "what do balls taste like?"

Gelding is a nudist and describes himself as a submissive bear. Apart from his desire to use a pseudonym, he let it all hang out (so to speak) when I reached out to him and graciously answered every question I had.

Is nullo your preferred term to describe yourself and others like you who are castrated and have removed their penis?

Yes, the reason that we use that it is not transgender. It's simply nullification of what you've got. A friend of mine Mack in San Francisco likes to use the term "mascunull", because I remain as masculine as they come with fur and so forth. But I no longer have the parts.

What are some misconceptions people have about nullos?

A few men don't know their own physiology to the point where they think if they lose their balls they can't come any more. And that's false. If you look at the physiology you see that the fluids are made by the seminal vesicles and the prostate. Very little of the fluid and the content is produced in the testes. I still unload.

But the active ingredient for impregnating someone isn't there.

Right.

Do you get a lot of people who think you're trying to become a woman?

Absolutely. And it's mostly the medical profession who sees the sexes as either male or female. And anyone who wants to alter any part of that is in some way suffering from gender dysphoria. They don't like themselves for some reason and they want to change gender. And that's absolutely false.

It's not a dysphoria. I see it in the positive way of working toward something, rather than away from something. Many of the guys instead of putting a negative feel on it see it as a positive. Being castrated is a positive to them. Rather than removing something that they dislike, they are moving in the direction that they want. I went through a long set of psychological evaluation sessions with a psychologist here in town, because that was necessary in order to have the penis removed.

You've previously discussed your 1994 castration. However, I didn't find anything on your penis removal in 2011. Can you talk about that?

I knew I was uncomfortable in having frankly large male parts. I would quite often sit on my own balls because they were loose unless I wore something tight and held them in I would sit on them and squash them. That got me into trouble playing soccer in college when they forced us to wear these hard plastic cups. What happened was I fell on a guy's upright knee with the weight of another player behind me, so two of us fell on the knee. The knee happened

>Why the fuck would you want to nullify any of that, especially the few retards who are guilty and choose to go to trial.
Because I don't care. The punishments are often nothing. Jail just breeds more crime. Literally pointless. If laws and the legal system didn't exist, naturally people would remove criminal elements from society much more effectively. The idea of jail, a big time out zone is patently absurd and such a waste of tax payer money. The sanest approach to criminology with a state, is simply corporeal punishment or death penalty. No jail needed. If someone is predisposed to committing repeat crimes, which I believe something like 95 percent of people who go to prison recidivate, there should be a three strikes policy. The third time they resort to crime, they are exterminated. This sounds rather inhumane but such has been the administration of justice for most of human history and in point of fact, isn't inhumane at all. What is inhumane is locking someone in a cell where obviously the rest of their life will have more bad than good that follows. Most people would rather be beaten than have several years of their lives wasted. Until such philosopher king policies are implemented, I will vote to let the bad guy go unless it's a death penalty case. Simple as that.

i was disappointed because i was trying to be as "normal" as possible to get selected. i wanted to get to a trial but nope

the counsel are very good at asking you seemingly innocent questions to determine your suitability to them on the trial.

on the second one that was right before the Wuhan flu hit the defense asked me what i did for a living. i said i work full time in a medical practice and a few weekends a month helping my dad with his company. so he asks "cool, what does your dad do?" i tell him "he has a small business that installs security cameras". attorney says "oh interesting, like doorbell cameras or home security" , i reply "no, large commercial properties. he does jobs where they install 20 to 50 cameras at a time." so he then asks what these cameras catch so i sound off a few crazy stories they have seen.

i was dismissed pretty quick after that. who knows why but i think the defense didnt want someone on the jury who had watched video of countless ghetto pieces of shit acting like retards. or maybe it was because i was white
