Cliff notes on jury duty. After watching the Attorneys and the Prosecuter excuse potential jurors for better than 4-1/2 hours, I finally got seated. Only to be promptly excused. Probably because I'm intelligent, well spoken and articulate. As well as being a middle aged white male from the 'Burbs, who would've sat in judgement of two black youths who were up for some pretty serious charges. Also, people are incredibly fucking stupid. When the legal teams would ask questions of jurors, everytime a new one was seated, some of them went in to great detail when answering. Even when a simple yes, no, or short sentence would've suficed. It took for ever. We listened to the same question for 4+ hours, being asked of all the potential jurors, and some of these rocket scientists would blank out when asked the same questions. I wanted to smack them up side their head and scream at them: "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST 4-1/2 HOURS, YOU DUMBASS! THE INSTRUCTION AT THE BEGINING OF THIS WERE FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO THE QUESTIONS BEING ASKED UP THERE! IT'S TOO EASY A THING TO DO, WHY ARE THE FUCK YOU ARE SOO STUPID?!" I was hoping to be called up so I could put a stop to all the stupid Mo-Fo's that came before me. I just wanted to get it over with, be I seated or excused, so I could get something to eat. I was freakin' hungry! I realized the whole point of excusing jurors is to try and tip the jury in your favor, demigraphicaly speaking, and these two dudes were facing serious trouble, but FUCK! Would it have killed them to let us grab something from the vending machines? Anyways, I only have to dodge friday at this point, but I should be good. Because it's quite rare to seat a jury on friday.
Yet another catgirl image. You didn't see that coming, now did you?
