A Jury Of Thier Peers

The LA Times brings us the story of Theresa Dang who stands accused of stealing a policeman's flashlight during a protest that turned violent on May 25.

Dang and about 300 others were protesting evil Jim Gilchrist.

Here's the part that made me chuckle --

After jurors started deliberating, Dang stood outside with a dozen supporters and worried about the jury makeup: four women, eight men, most middle-aged or older and predominantly white.

"They are not a jury of my peers," said Dang, who is Vietnamese American. "There are a lot of people out there who look upon protest as a nuisance or people being violent, and they accept whatever police say."

Dang was one of the nearly 300 people at the rally, which turned violent after one of the attendees forced his van through a crowd that decided to block the driveway.

Irony meet stupidity. This is kinda funny right? Why ever would people have the idea that protests turn violent, hmmm?

On a serious note. Somebody needs to explain to chucklehead Dang that peers has nothing to do with age, sex or race. Peers are fellow citizens irrespective of any other consideration who agree to look at the facts dispassionately.

That's it. Well, that and if we empaneled a jury of only smelly ass hippies you'd never get the patchouli stench out of the courtroom.
