      You need to lie to the judge under oath to do it. There simply aren’t consequences, but it is very much illegal.

        Wrong. They try to filter out people who know about jury nullification, but the act itself is not illegal, as you do not have to have the knowledge to accidentally do it anyway.

      so trying to prevent people knowing about is is more akin to trying to prevent people from knowing what rights they have?

    i was asked to moderate anything that is illegal specifically mentioning “jury nullification” and “financially supporting” this has been changed now until a larger announcement is made

    many admins and moderators at .world including myself are not american, i pray that the others who are angry at me and hope they consider there are more countries with laws that are different from them

    you may disagree with my faith but i consider myself fair in my removal in this violation

    when trump was shot i removed comments celebrating this violence when sinwar was killed i removed comments celebrating this violence so when this person is murdered i remove comments celebrating this violence

    when users report these comments and those above me ask me to act on this topic i continue as i have for months in these communities

    there was no good-faith and productive discussion to be had when you celebrate murder

    how can you call others a tankie when you dance on graves as they do?

    i have sympathy for the americans who are wronged by the man murdered but instead of violence maybe you consider reading a book to understand the world around you and be open to the power of faith to restore your love of humanity instead of parading violence

      By who, pray tell? Because at the moment it seems like you’re the only mod on the server doing so.

      there are more countries with laws that are different from them

      In which of these countries is it illegal to discuss jury nullification in the US?

      i consider myself fair in my removal in this violation

      Although you took actions that are based on a version of the rules that nobody else has access to?

      those above me ask me to act on this topic

      Again, you’re the only one acting on this topic. Who is asking you to do so? Right now it seems like you’re being hung out to dry.

      there was no good-faith and productive discussion to be had when you celebrate murder

      Weird, I’m seeing a ton of productive discussion in this thread

      how can you call others a tankie when you dance on graves as they do?

      Because that’s not the definition of tankie. Dancing on graves is not an aspect of any particular ideology.

      instead of violence maybe you consider reading a book to understand the world around you and be open to the power of faith to restore your love of humanity instead of parading violence

      Stop trying to push your fucking religion on everybody else. You’re the mod of c/News, not c/Christianity.

    “only God may judge us”

    It’s okay, as an atheist, I only recognize the moral authority of humankind, so judge away.

    More seriously speaking, PTB. It would be one thing if the justification was “We REALLY do not want any legal trouble and we are just not equipped to take on any challenges, so we’re playing it safe”, but “i consider human life sacred”? They can fuck off.

      Human life is sacred, which is why I’m celebrating this POS no longer being able to abuse the sick to make a few extra bucks.
