Apparently the dead do have the right to justice.


I'm probably misinterpreting what you said, but...

They tried the jury for violation of civil rights due to them reaching an 'innocent' verdict? If so, that's pretty weird, but very cool.

No, they re-tried the defendant.  Due to double jeapordy they could not bring murder charges against someone who was aquitted , so violation of civil rights was the charge.

Nash, you must not be from the U.S.

Cities and towns in the Southern U.S. were killing blacks and the whites who were trying to help them.  When the killers were arrested by the FBI, and tried in Southern courts, they were found innocent.  So the FBI had the killers tried in Federal Court for violating the civil rights of the murdered (killing someone is a violation of their civil rights).  The killers were convicted and all got about 10 years in prison.

There has been a movie and several documentries about this.  Plus it is taught in high school.

A point of fact you will never hear on the news, of the 300 plus firefighters killed at the World Trade Center none were female.
For the simple reason that they had to carry equipment up 70 flights of stairs. When the s**t hits the fan you need men.

Appreciate the lesson Suntracker, but I've seen the movie... so to speak. I thought Holden was talking about something completely different.

Somehow I don't see the connection with this and the court killings.

Maybe then if the court house would've collapsed due to an explosion.

The best part of this thread was once again Laz2, the other part is Beetle got ignored after he added those hoopty icons like he was somehow extra funny to himself, and didn't realize he's just a O'Club broken record, and a  stain on the community.

The connection is he was alone with a 51 year old Grandma with a gun. He cold cocked her with one punch and took her gun. Three people are dead as a result. And yes it could happen if it where a single 51 year grandpa. The point is it should have been at least two very large men,  he should have been shackled until he got to the courtroom and the shackles removed by an unarmed male of proper stature. There used to be a hight and weight requirement for law enforcement but it was lifted to allow woman to serve. In the World Trade Center, the city of New York is spending tax money on people that are not physically capable of doing the job in order to be politically correct. When the public safty is at risk the hell with politically correct.

Sorry but I dont think 'you need men' is accurate.

Ive met women who could've whipped my sorry bellybutton BAD with little effort.

There be strong girls out there man.

I think a certain standard should be made... like be able to lift a certain weight and/or hit with certain force along with endurance tests.

The last thing id want, as someone else already put it, is to find myself as a civilian in a dangerous situation and seeing that the person who'se job is to save me be a scrawny, wimpy guy/girl that my arthritic 98 year old grandma could woop with her walking stick.

Do you think it was just a coincidence that only the men where sent up 70 flights of stairs in the World Trade Center? The New York fire Dept. is about 30% female.
