Prosecution Explains Jury Tampering Charge
Julian P.

Your peers JUDGE you and they have a RIGHT to ignore the law...its not a THEORY. Its quantified LAW. And that man has EVERY RIGHT to stand out there and tell citizens exactly that. Thats part of why a jury by your PEERS is so essential a right. Another government effort to suppress the rights of citizens. I'll bet they wouldn't have ANY problem with him if he was holding a sign that said "If the police charge you, then you must be guilty!!! Send all criminals to PRISON!!".
Gubnut lawyers don't care about doing the right thing. They care about people doing what they say. They want more and more power, not to relinquish any of it.
Just because there is a law for one thing or another does not make it right. IF the people say something is wrong, who is the gubnut to say tough, we made it and you will accept it?
They really really don't understand that they work for US. Do as we say or you're fired.
