I intentionally and deliberately violated a court summons to appear for jury duty and am awaiting arrest for this violation. I am indigent and homeless due to the corruption of 12 judges.
What do you do if you don't have a court in your town and you have to travel 4/5 hours just to do your jury duty? stupid. Yes I live in a shithole in the middle of nowhere.
JURY DUTY DOES NOT SUCK :) IF YOU HAVE A JOB THAT YOU HAVE TO REPORT TO EVERYDAY !!! THE LAST TIME WHEN I WAS ON JURY DUTY :) I REALLY ENJOYED MY TIME OFF WORK , LOL AND BELIEVE ME , MY JOB DOESNT PAY WELL THAT WELL ANYWAYS AND I HAVE TO WORK REALLY HARD TO MAKE A PAYCHECK, SO THE ONLY BENEFIT OF HAVING JURY DUTY SERVICE IS TIME OFF FROM WORK AND STILL GETTING PAID, WHILE LEARNING HOW ABOUT JUSTICE SYSTEM AND JUST BASICALLY SHOWING UP TO COURT AND WASTE TIME :) NO STRESS
"redo the fish eleven david he sent to court" ha ha ha. The auto captions don't identify most of the words on any of the Young Turks videos. It's almost more entertaining to watch the caption screw-ups as it is to listen to the actual videos.
This is phony is what it is to me.. First of all when they send you the Jury Duty Summons to you through the mail, they ask you questions if you are a citizen, if you have a felony and if you are able to perform.. My dad I remember recieved one through the mail and I put that he was over the age of 70 who is disabled that can't walk alot. He never got a Jury Summons ever again.
I think this letter proves that jury duty should an option, not a requirement but then again if you hate the gov't and consider yourself an anarchist then maybe you should sign up to vote in the first plac and risk it, lol.
Problem is if you are asked to be a grand juror they do not interview you, instead they pick your name out of a box and if you are called you have to serve for a month. So how can you get out of that?
You go boy. I have NEVER been called for jury duty. And hope i never do. I have been witness to to mant problems caused by it. Including the loss of a job, breaking down wile trying to get there, and many other things. Oh ya and i know of three places that WILL NOT PAY YOU FOR GOING lets not forget the fact that the money thet pay you is no ware enough t o compinsate you for lost time fuel and everything els. SCREW THEM!!!!!!!!!
@bmaiceman You are LUCKY! It seems they have a target on my name. I know people who have never received a juror summons, but I seem to get one with regularity. I agree with the letter writer that's it's largely a waste of time. For me personally, it's not only a waste of my time, but it's a waste of the court's time. I refuse to serve on a jury. There's too much corruption in the system. When witnesses are cops, I can't trust a single one of them. And the waiting for hours? Ridiculous!
From what I understand about Jury Duty, it's a random selection of tax paying citizens who get called to sit on a Jury and make very important decisions on cases (large or small)
If true, Jury Duty should be abolished immediately.
Most citizens (tax paying or otherwise) are not competent enough to sit on juries and make just decisions.
Speak to a family member or a next door neighbour and you'll agree
@EriPages I agree. The average American is a moron. (Sorry to all you average Americans). Just look at all the idiots who make up the mainstream moviegoers. I think that the people who are smart enough to serve on a jury are also smart enough to get themselves dismissed. Just one quick look at the comments people post online is immediate proof that people wouldn't know logic or reason if they hit them in the face, nevermind know how to apply them to anything.
I have uploaded a vid on my channel on getting out of jury duty in Australia, it has been found a disenterested or disengaged juror does not give an accused a fair trial. The vid has many examples of courts getting it wrong which would cause any interested by -stander to lose confidence. Enjoy!
I like to be on jury duty and have been on a couple trials but for most people they can't afford to be on jury duty it doesn't pay hardly anything..if they were to make a law that said when u serve on a jury u get your reg wages more people might serve it would have very little impact on businesses but politicians are too beholden to the business owners..most jurors are older, unemployed or homemakers..to get on a grand jury would be even more of a hardship
STUPID BASTARDS that do not want to pull their weight in society and do jury duty!
LAZY idiots, all of them. The next time you go to jail and have a jury trial, think of the many people like you that do not want to be there, and they think,"Maybe he's innocent, but maybe not, who cares I'm loosing money sitting here, maybe he's GUILTY! YOU have a chance to CHANGE the laws, change the life of someone you do NOT know, for the good or the bad. Scared, because what you do not know about the courts!
I have my first jury duty tomorrow...and I want nothing to do with it. I don't partake in "American" bullshit such as this. America doesn't care about me, the war proves it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but in Los Angeles, no matter what if the judge excuse you it doesn't mean you get to go home. You have to go back to the Jury Duty pool. Which sucks very much.
I'm 18 now so I could get called up anytime, which would suck 'cause I don't want to have to waste time doing it, especially if I'm at uni when I get called. I'm not sure if it's the same for the US but here in the UK we're not allowed to pass it on to someone else who wants to do it, which is stupid :/
This is sad, most people do not understand that this is their chance in changing lives, laws, and affront the real criminals with real time behind bars!
@johnnyboypdq Yeah, and have the possibility that I judged wrongly and the person is innocent. I don't care if I would never know. It's not something I ever want to partake in, yet I'm forced to.
@burleyman2381 that's messed up... sometimes jury duty can take days even weeks... he is middle class and probably is struggling to pay just to live like pretty much every middle class person is now adays.. and the government is demanding that he participates in something that is so messed up it hardly matters. Criminals can walk away if they have enough money for a good lawyer... so on...
And you think that it is fair that he should get fired for not having a freedom of choice to decide.
@queentrissa you do realize that it's illegal for someone to fire you for going to jury duty, right? so it's fair to assume that, had he gone to jury duty instead of acting like a little shit about it, he could have avoided the arrest along with the trouble i'm assuming he got in at work for getting arrested.
90% of bad things can be avoided by not acting like an idiot.
@queentrissa lol take care of his family? it's not like they don't let you go home...you only have to be there when court is in session...during the day...
@queentrissa you watch too much tv. most cases of jury duty you would go home every night to your family. it is only with really high profile cases with lots of nedia attention and public sentiment that require jury to be sequestered
If you are a felon then they wont ask you! Guess I need to commit a felony.... Oh wait! Shit then I would still have to be in court but on the other side of the table dammit! Just rub garlic all over your body im sure they will show you the door real fast...
ALPHONSE MOURAD PROTEST FEBRUARY 18,2010 OF JURY SUMMONS IN A COURT SYSTEM CORRODED BY CORRUPT JUDGES APPOINTED TO PROTECT AND FAVOR THEIR POLITICAL APPOINTERS AND NOT JUSTICE OR THE PUPLIC THE JUDGES WERE APPOINTED TO SERVE
young turks are maxist anarchists who just hate freedom, capitalism and democracy. they will ban me from making comments soon enough as they hate freedom
Just tell them that you are an Anarchist and that you will find the Defendant not-guilty regardless if there was a crime commited or not. Yeah...that will get your name off the list.
Lucky for me, I became violently ill during my first call to jury duty. I think it was because of being around all those people. Anyway, it was a little embarrassing, and I threw up a lot of green shit when I got home....but I'm glad I got out of it. There's something about deciding the fate of someone else that I want nothing to do with.
My friend wrote them a letter and said she was a Satan worshipper and had no respect for the law whatsoever. They still made her show up to court, fortunately she got denied jury duty.. ^^
Just tell them that you WANT to go to jury duty, because you can tell who is guilty just by looking at them! No need for evidence! Also- tell them you believe in capitol punishment for ALL crimes... lets take those shoplifters and string them up!! Somehow... I doubt you'll get picked.
I've been summoned once, and was called to a jury box. They ask you if you have any hardships, many said that they couldn't pay rent, were students (like me at the time), they couldn't miss work, and so on. 15 minutes later, I got sent home. Easy as that. So if you do get called to a jury box, chances are you'll get out of it, plus they're are always those 1 and 2 people that want to voluntarily serve on a jury. On a funny note, you'll get to meet a bunch of bitchy teachers (its comic relief).
getting out of jury duty is easy just do what i did, show up to court late, stinking of gin from the night prior, wearing a dirty XXXL Luther Vandross T-shirt and beat up old white high top Reebok sneakers. i dont have to be called up for another 8 years in the city of New York
so faggoty, i just got my 2nd one, since 2 years, complete waste of fuckin time. first one was when i barely turned 18 and now holiday season when i need to work. can i just be left alone..
I have jury duty tomorrow. If anyone is convicted of drug charges (or anything stupid), that didn't hurt anyone without their consent, then they're NOT GUILTY! I don't fuck around with these bullshit, political/unjust laws!
"i cant serve on the jury because im racist".. but sir.. you are white.. the man being convicted is also white..." uhhhh im racist against white people too".
@Nothingman54 you can. since you stay at home and watch your kids, you dont have to. i only know that bc my mother got a jury duty notice and and one of the options so you dont have to was that.
yeah jury duty is complete crap, no incentive to serve other than threats...and that is not right we are in america, land of opportunity, not land of conscription without benefits for it, they dont wanna give you 2,000 to show up, so why would i wanna give them 2,000 for not showing up?
@thadoctrine That would cost the courts more money to do something like that because a lot of people don't show up in the first place. I got to go to one next week, it pays I get to be in downtown and kick back for lunch at the mall and go back after and chill. Not that big of a deal. If people don't wanna serve that's also their right not to have to since this is a "Free country" Then again I could be wrong
Our power resides in the right as citizen-jurors to nullify bad law through acquittal. Never be brow-beaten by a judge: acquit anyone who is being tried for breaking an unconstitutional law. JUDGE THE LAW. Refer, of course, to: JURY LAWLESSNESS & JURY NULLIFICATION.
i think every one should write letters like this man. its not against the law to tell people what you think about their unjust system! fuck jury duty!
Just throw the letters away, and if someone asks you to sign for a letter, say "no thanks". Never identify yourself. This way, they have no record that you ever received the summons, which means you are not legally obligated.
Cenk is right..I got a summons in the mail and just ignored it and they didn't do anything..if they did follow up I planned on just telling them I never got it..but they didn't even follow up..the guy talked about in this video is really a huge moron because sending an angry letter saying you don't want to do it is proof that you got the request in the fist place.
Well..I'm 50 years old,got a summons to appear for jury duty first time in my life last year(2009)so i appear ,,county clerk said case was settled out of court,so i could go home...got a $20.,00 check in the mail a week later for fullfilling my jury duty...was in the court house for all of 30 minutes..easiest 20 bucks I ever made...
WOW..Ur lucky..when I got my last jury duty summons I didn't respond because they listed the amount paid as being almost nothing..something like $5 a day or $2 an hour..I don't recall the exact amount but recall it was a lot lower than minimum wage.
Haha same thing happened to me, got selected as a juror on friday. Was told to go back on monday and then I waited in the jury room for like an hour before someone told me that they called all the jurors and told them not to come. Later that day they said the case was settled out of court. My paycheck was 88.40 but I used like $44.00 to travel to the federal court lol. The reason it was 88.40 for one day is they reimburse you for mileage. It was a federal court, I heard they're better lol.
Shit... Wish I knew about not responding before I responded on mine. Now i'm on call from the 2-16 of Nov to a federal court in SF. They won't even reimburst the train fare's I would have to pay to get there. It's a two hour ride round trip. UUUGHHH, hope they won't need me lol. Gotta keep calling to see if I get selected. Too bad I can't use my mum and dad's excuse "sowwie, no speakie english" lmao they never got a summons again. I'd love to be born in a non English speaking country now lol.
I don't think that's possible, I was born in London. So I don't think saying no English is a plausible excuse lol. Though.. When the judge asked "If anyone feels like they will be impartial in this case because the defendants are African-American please raise your hand" No one did, but I seriously thought about raising my hand and just saying "GUILTY! That nigger's guilty! Hang them now!!" (joke from boondocks) lol, but I didn't do it and ended up being a juror lol. I even used my English accent
I just never responded to the jury duty and ive never heard from them again. More than 2 years ago that was. I'm not even a registered voter either so i think that disqualifies me anyway.
After being arrested for demanding an apology on the internet- & spending 7 months in jail before being forced to plead Guilty- then spending a year in civil court for the legal malpractice that ensued- along with spending 5 years on formal probation & not allowed to use a computer- my case was finally "Expunged"- as of today- I got my "Jury summons" for 7-27-09 @ the very same court- Ventura County, CA- despite the obvious "conflict of Interest"- I can bring a laptop to pass the time. hahahha!
I'd probably never be allowed on a civil jury because I've been a plaintiff twice. I'd never be allowed on a criminal jury because my constant laughing at prosecution (unless its a cop or prosecutor is on trial--guilty) till I peed and crapped myself would disrupt the trial. I'm good on that score.
Your fate is placed in the hands of people that have a less than choice understanding of the law and who are also deeply swayed by public and media bias.
We should be using a system that is deeply adherent to civil law.
uh, THAT'S the point of having a jury: they are not swayed by what lawyers know and actually, they are isolated from media and outside influence while doing jury duty. This way, they only look at the evidence and and thats it.
Sometimes, their are biast opionions. There have also been problems keeping them isolated from the media because of cell phones. Also, if the case is one that has been going on for a while, they might already know about it.
So basically he had jury duty but didn't want to do it because he secretly had a warrant for his arrest? Lol. I am going to use this excuse but have no warrants for my arrest.
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days
the judge never called my name though and the huge mall across the street had an arbys in its food court. so it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
jury duty sucks. i got the letter to go early in the morning during a time when i was used to going to bed at 7 am and waking up at 4 pm at age 19. i had to take the train to the courthouse in downtown chicago and sit in a room for 2 hours with a few hundred people until my group was called. when i was eventually called into a courtroom i remember laughing at people's'eses excuses to get out of it. the judge actually stopped everything and said "stop lying to me with your crap"
His reply to the jury duty guys was the funniest thing I've heard all month.
I heard that, if you want out, you should say you're a Taoist. I heard it was either Taoist or something similar that say that you can't say that someone's "guilty" for whatever reason. No such thing as "guilt", and you can't judge, and so you'd not be an effective jury member, where you DO need to judge people.
When you fill out the jury duty questionnaire, just say you think all niggas are guilty. Say you think the defendant stole your wallet 3 years ago. If you're called for a civil case, just say you don't trust lawyers so both sides will exclude you.
Easiest way to get out of jury duty is to right a polite letter back and explain how you don't like or believe in the police and how you would find it almost impossible to make an unbiased decision on anything a policeman told you, worked for me.
in u.s.a. such extreme measures are not necessary. politicians can make new regulations that drive big companies' competition out of business if they don't fall in line or sell. banks already control us, but the worst is most likely still to come. if the private military continues to grow they will be our new police. don't be scared into thinking we really need a young private military on usa soil. we don't. we already have a strong enough military, and police.
how do banks take over? it's called financial terrorism. the cia offers leaders bribes to get their leaders to accept global loans which come from usa banks. then bribe them again to not repay the loans and instead sell or give usa companies their assets like oil, power companies, or water companies so that the profit goes to us and not the countries anymore. if bribe doesn't work they assasinate or overthrow. if that doesn't work we go to war with them.
two main stories right now are the 9/11 conspiracy and the way wall street is taking over the world. notice i said, "is" and not "trying".
the young turks isn't covering it becasue their true goal is to distract people form finding out about it. spread the word. investigate the truth about 9/11 and zeitgeist.
#1. If a financial entity controls the decision making process of a country, the decisions will always appear to come from the govt. A soldier will not be receiving an order from the financial entity. He will be receiving the order from the govt, who is acting according to the advice and will of the controlling power. This is already how it happens.
The citizenry is too complacent to be a threat. No need to attack at this time.
i don't get it. surely, if anyone was going to serve time (either on jury duty or behind bars) it was gonna be this guy. just to make an example out of him.
yes, TYT presents 99% of the truth. but hide that neither democrats or republicans are in power. am i just a crazy paranoid druggie? bankers plan to take over the world. am i wrong that we are about to become a fascist state? please prove it. please research this and provide proof if you can. i've looked for proof otherwise, and all i've found is prooof that we are SOON headed towards a global fascist government of slavery. .
How the fuck can banks take over the world? Explain that. I doubt all humans will immediately side with 'the banks' in some kind of huge war. What's the banks gonna do? Hire Black Water? Bitch, PLEASE. There are 6 billion humans on this god damn mother fucking planet, and I doubt a few suits with a few million in their pockets and challenge the governments.
Tyler, in the theory that banks can/are taking over the world, the idea is that they can do so by controlling the people who are nominally in power and influence their decision making. They would not need to raise armies if they control the sstems that controls already existing armies. And when they activate those armies, it is through proxies and the common man does not know who the real power is behind the decisions.
If the military was ORDERD to attack ..they ATTACK. The government would take care of dehumanizing who ever it was they wanted to attack. It happens with countries that didnt attack us. So why wouldnt it happen with civilians?
Just go in and say something racist, when you are being evaluated.

i wonder what the CRIME was that they cited in order to justify the original arrest since no charges were filed.
Sounds like the court just wanted to flex it's muscle at the expense of your free speech and free choice.

Just tell them that you are an Anarchist and that you will find the Defendant not-guilty regardless if there was a crime commited or not. Yeah...that will get your name off the list.

Lucky for me, I became violently ill during my first call to jury duty. I think it was because of being around all those people. Anyway, it was a little embarrassing, and I threw up a lot of green shit when I got home....but I'm glad I got out of it. There's something about deciding the fate of someone else that I want nothing to do with.

I've been summoned once, and was called to a jury box. They ask you if you have any hardships, many said that they couldn't pay rent, were students (like me at the time), they couldn't miss work, and so on. 15 minutes later, I got sent home. Easy as that. So if you do get called to a jury box, chances are you'll get out of it, plus they're are always those 1 and 2 people that want to voluntarily serve on a jury. On a funny note, you'll get to meet a bunch of bitchy teachers (its comic relief).

getting out of jury duty is easy just do what i did, show up to court late, stinking of gin from the night prior, wearing a dirty XXXL Luther Vandross T-shirt and beat up old white high top Reebok sneakers. i dont have to be called up for another 8 years in the city of New York

Our power resides in the right as citizen-jurors to nullify bad law through acquittal. Never be brow-beaten by a judge: acquit anyone who is being tried for breaking an unconstitutional law. JUDGE THE LAW. Refer, of course, to: JURY LAWLESSNESS & JURY NULLIFICATION.

The right to trial by jury comes with the responsibility to serve if called upon.
That being said if the court abused my sense of civic duty by wasting my time I'd probably avoid it in the future.

Haha same thing happened to me, got selected as a juror on friday. Was told to go back on monday and then I waited in the jury room for like an hour before someone told me that they called all the jurors and told them not to come. Later that day they said the case was settled out of court. My paycheck was 88.40 but I used like $44.00 to travel to the federal court lol. The reason it was 88.40 for one day is they reimburse you for mileage. It was a federal court, I heard they're better lol.

That nigger's guilty! Hang them now!!" (joke from boondocks) lol, but I didn't do it and ended up being a juror lol. I even used my English accent

I'd probably never be allowed on a civil jury because I've been a plaintiff twice. I'd never be allowed on a criminal jury because my constant laughing at prosecution (unless its a cop or prosecutor is on trial--guilty) till I peed and crapped myself would disrupt the trial. I'm good on that score.

Trial by jury is retarded anyway.
Your fate is placed in the hands of people that have a less than choice understanding of the law and who are also deeply swayed by public and media bias.
We should be using a system that is deeply adherent to civil law.
XenMonkey13 2 years ago 8
uh, THAT'S the point of having a jury: they are not swayed by what lawyers know and actually, they are isolated from media and outside influence while doing jury duty. This way, they only look at the evidence and and thats it.

Sometimes, their are biast opionions. There have also been problems keeping them isolated from the media because of cell phones. Also, if the case is one that has been going on for a while, they might already know about it.

i believe they are not allowed to talk to anyone while on jury duty, including phoning people, but I could be wrong.
That's why people try to get out of jury duty, because it's such a pain.
Biases are screened out through interviews with jurors; not ALL jurors who are sent a letter actually become a juror in a case.

His reply to the jury duty guys was the funniest thing I've heard all month.
I heard that, if you want out, you should say you're a Taoist. I heard it was either Taoist or something similar that say that you can't say that someone's "guilty" for whatever reason. No such thing as "guilt", and you can't judge, and so you'd not be an effective jury member, where you DO need to judge people.
Give it a shot. It might work.

in u.s.a. such extreme measures are not necessary. politicians can make new regulations that drive big companies' competition out of business if they don't fall in line or sell. banks already control us, but the worst is most likely still to come. if the private military continues to grow they will be our new police. don't be scared into thinking we really need a young private military on usa soil. we don't. we already have a strong enough military, and police.

how do banks take over? it's called financial terrorism. the cia offers leaders bribes to get their leaders to accept global loans which come from usa banks. then bribe them again to not repay the loans and instead sell or give usa companies their assets like oil, power companies, or water companies so that the profit goes to us and not the countries anymore. if bribe doesn't work they assasinate or overthrow. if that doesn't work we go to war with them.

This is already how it happens.

Tyler1337Admin 2 years ago
Tyler, in the theory that banks can/are taking over the world, the idea is that they can do so by controlling the people who are nominally in power and influence their decision making. They would not need to raise armies if they control the sstems that controls already existing armies. And when they activate those armies, it is through proxies and the common man does not know who the real power is behind the decisions.
