    Default Vote "innocent" on all black murders

    Black Lawyer Calls on Black Jurors to Vote ‘Innocent’ for Any Black Person Accused of Murdering a White Person

    An African-American lawyer and editor of a popular legal website is calling on all black jurors across the country to automatically vote to free any black person accused of murdering or committing a crime against a white person despite the evidence.
    Elie Mystal, an editor and contributor to the law blog Above The Law, posted a December 7 article urging all black Americans who end up on juries to engage in “jury nullification” by automatically voting to acquit all blacks accused of crimes, especially that of murder, against white victims and to do so no matter how much evidence is brought to bear against the suspect.

    Mystal justified this lawlessness by claiming that “African-Americans live in a world where the police can murder us and get away with it.”

    “There is no justice for black people. And yet violently revolting against the system will get us nowhere,” he added.

    This, Mystal says, is reason enough to work against the legal system in all areas.

    Maybe it’s time for black people to use the same tool white people have been using to defy a system they do not consent to: jury nullification. White juries regularly refuse to convict or indict cops for murder. White juries refuse to convict vigilantes who murder black children. White juries refuse to convict other white people for property crimes. White juries act like the law is just a guideline and their personal morality (or lack thereof) should be controlling.

    “Maybe it’s time minorities got in the game?” Mystal added.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    Do American judges not direct a jury that a majority decision can be accepted if not all are able to agree?
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    All are different, but most need ALL to vote guilty - or it's not guilty. Get one person to disagree and you walk.

    Methinks you missed the glaringly obvious negative to such a request/action.
    That of deliberately nullifying justice in order to advance a racist based agenda and movement that favors the black race over all others( disregarding how much of that our court system already does for them with mere slaps on the wrists so often).
    Yet blacks as a group have always considered the American based court system as not lenient enough to them, to suit their tastes- as in "letting them engage in crimes with very little or else no consequences".-Tyr

    That racist attorney should be dis-barred for his comments.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    It's wrong, but it's also just one person. Lots of garbage on all sides and all colors.

    One of the Freddie Gray cops' cases was thrown out by a black judge. Other Freddie Gray cops were found not guilty by juries with blacks on them. I wonder if this lawyer consider those black on black crimes......

    Perhaps so, but a law blog allowed it to be posted, and how many folks will read this and actually do so? We may never know. Hopefully no one will listen. But just one nitwit can alter a murder decision if they do listen.

    Can you imagine the reaction if this was stated by a white lawyer? It would be national news and it wouldn't be dismissed so easily.

    If this was stated by a white lawyer, it wouldn't be on breitbart.

    Way to address the topic. Considering I've given you endless offers to prove things about Breitbart, and you couldn't do so - it's obvious that you're trolling.

    Perhaps stay on topic next time and continue a discussion?

    Does the media have white guilt? Or are they just trying to sell commercial time?

    Well that seems like a poor system given only one memeber needs to be compromised.

    Noir. Of course YOU would call it a poor system. But here in the USA. We have a constitution, and something called the JUDICIAL SYSTEM, where anyone accused of any crime is considered Innocent, until proven guilty.
    It's our Jury system, where peers of the accused gets to listen to the charges, BEFORE anyone can declare them Guilty. If only One member disagree's. It's called a Hung Jury, and another trial is performed to protect the Innocence of the accused.
    Too bad you think it's a poor system. How would you do in a COURT where you live?

    I was staying on topic. You were just ignoring it. Just like you ignore my answers about the racist, sexist, anti-semitic breitbart site.
    Here are just a few examples of how Bannon has succeeded the site's fortunately dead founder as new Joseph Goebbels:

    Huffington Post as a source? You are sinking very low.
    Half those reporters cannot even write in proper English, and the Editors ignore mistakes.

    Another Gabby red herring?
