And that balance is held in the hands of the district attorney and if need be 12 jurors.  That is called DUE PROCESS.  That's what we are guarneteed under the constitution.  Not the result we might like, but due process.

Edit: I don't typically weigh in on politics...just thought your insinuation that conservatives think all African-Americans are commies was a little funny.
To clarify, I did not say conservatives think all African Americans are commies.  I said conservatives tend to think all transcendent African Americans are commies and are hostile to African Americans generally.

I would not consider Sowell or Williams "transcendent."

Thomas and Rice?  based upon their positions attained?  Yes.

But Thomas used his position to leave in place the same systemic inequities that have historically crippled minorities.

The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
