Interesting happening at Jury Duty... Juror mentioned riot training 6 months before riots, guy gets pulled into chamber with judge!
I had Jury Duty the other day...

They questioned all of us, and one guy mentioned he had riot training...

They followed up with him about exactly what that was...

He said for the first time ever, he received riot training 6 months before the riots happened. (He didn't specify which riots).

He also commented that he thought it was unusual about the timing...

He never had any riot training before... ever... then 6 months after the training, riots broke out...

He said he figures the government knew they were going to happen ahead of time, and that's why he got the training when he did...

Here's the kicker...

After they finished questioning everyone, he was asked to join the judge in the chamber with the attorneys behind closed doors...

None of the other Juror's we asked to do this... and we all thought it was a little odd and out of the norm...

I was half expecting him to never reappear again, but eventually he did come back out after some time...

I just found it curious that he didn't say anything else that would have prompted them to single him out...

I wonder what happened behind those closed doors...

they would ask him if what he learned would give him rise to side one way or the other on the case. perhaps.

That's a possibility, but there were plenty of other Juror's who they asked that very question to in front of everyone else...

sounds like the republican convention. the cops were trained six months ahead of time for riots and in full riot gear. it was mentioned several times that there would be riots.

generally there is an agent provocateur put in with protesters. so yes, they know what plans are ahead of time.

perhaps they wanted to know more how he felt about judging anyone based on his training? would he be more likely to toss jury nullification or not? would he take any pay? does he know any of the agent provocateurs personally? do wish many juror's would look up jury nullification before heading to jury duty. who knows?

what do you think they talked about?

Not sure...

Just thought it was interesting that he mentioned a "gov't conspiracy" and he got singled out...

Especially since the Judge asked blatant questions to other people about whether or not they would be able to be objective, etc...

Didn't seem like the Judge was holding back from asking other people any type of questions in front of the whole court room...

Perhaps he mentioned something on his questionnaire that he asked to be handled in private...

...or they erased his memory and embedded a GPS in his skull...

...you know... either or...

If you meet him again ask him what was said?

It is the only way to find out. (Well, I guess you could go and ask the judge...That would be a bit more purposeful though and take a bit more gumption!)

If we want the truth, we have to reach out and ask for it.

This won't always get it for us, but it is the needed first step and the first difference between getting online and talking about change and doing something about it.

And all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us!"

And I'll look down and whisper "No."

Maybe the judge was a former SWAT team member or something, and was curious about the training currently given to deal with riots.
It's good to be open-minded, just don't let your brain fall out.
