JUST BECAUSE it's the only math class I had to take twice, doesn't mean it's bad... I agree that statistics is some evil

I don't agree with it, but it's a pacifist viewpoint consistent with free speech.

Mild doxx, I've served on a DC Grand Jury before. You're commuting to the courthouse for 3 weeks minimum, though only 3 days a week. Most of the people are not getting compensated from their job to be there, just some money for the Metro.

The standard of evidence to indict is much lower, basically "it's believable that the accused could be guilty of the charges". Caught on camera is quite believable, the key here is "the charges". If the charges don't fit the crime, a jury that's paying attention wouldn't indict . I'm 80% sure indictment is a majority vote, didn't have to be unanimous.

Generally the prosecution is presenting evidence and calling law enforcement officers to testify, the defendant sending a lawyer is optional (expensive). You get a mostly one-sided argument, but these are all people who live in DC; some well off but most kinda poor. It's DC so both categories do not like Trump. If they believe somebody is committing crimes in DC they'll happily indict; but most cases indict, it feels good to cancel the case when someone doesn't deserve it.

Looks like those apathetic people were wrong, but like everyone else they'll never admit it

Constant guilt from sinning? You'd be a model Catholic.

Most religions are from over 1000 years ago. Any criticism against Islam can be levelled at the others. This community is called "Progressive Islam", help the religion make progress. If other people criticize you, are you no longer a Muslim? You define your beliefs, not other people.

There was also a complaint about the reverse; managers would report employees for drug use who reported problems or rejected sexual advances, the "zero tolerance policy" meant there was no check if the person was actually intoxicated.
