legit feel sorry for that mom

not for ross though, hope he spends the rest of his days in prison

Its gotta be hard for a parent to accept that their own child was a criminal

But the evidence piling up showing that he was proud of it too and also dumb as a rock is just salt on the wound

like food and water, my posting has no intrinsic value

legit sad to watch ross' mom slowly transition to acceptance. if you aren't deep in the libertarian/volantaryist/psychopath echo chamber, none of what ross is accused of is acceptable to mainstream society. her blog is written heavily under the assumption he was the wrong guy, and never says that silk road was a morally acceptable venture. poor lady, going through hell for her son's lovely and self destructive behavior.

on the other hand, im legit happy to have heresiarch back. take care of yourself, and don't let us jerks or the jerks we mock out of petty tribalism and schadenfreude-lust bring you down.

i really don't get libertarian's hard on for jurors ruling without regards to the law

sure, they could rule a guilty guy innocent on purpose, but they could do the opposite as well

plus jury nullification would only be an option for the popular, which means they'd never get jury nullification to work for them

the really really weird thing about this is that they think that the average person on the jury doesn't think drugs are evil and we should lock up all the drug mans

these are 12 people who purposefully aren't internet savvy. they are almost certainly in full support of the drug war

The vast majority of the public is very much not for full legalization of drugs, those that are for it are mostly young political-and-tech-savvy people, and a jury is, as always, 12 people who couldn't figure out how to get out of jury duty.

To get someone to commit to jury nullification, you need a person who is not only pro-legalization, but staunchly pro-legalization to the point that he wants to say "drat the law, I'm not letting this government tyranny stand". THEN this person has to stand up against 11 other people who almost certainly think it's justified to throw a man in prison for stealing drugs SO LONG that he pulls them around to his point of view, or he hangs the jury meaning the whole thing starts over again and he basically wasted his time. The chances of a person with such an extreme point of view making it through jury selection unnoticed are incredibly low.

Jury nullification in practice is probably most useful for letting people off the hook because the person they shot was a minority, because you can easily get 4-5 racists on a jury who bully the rest of the group. This "tell these people about nullification and then they'll definitely do it!" rhetoric is absolutely insane.
