Get them child-sized riot shields and teach them the testudo formation.

I live above a dentist office. I have no place to store a child legion worth of arms.

I wonder if your district would be up for implementing SCA into physical education? You could put your armory in a portable next to the gym, but the bullet proof shields would have to remain in the classroom so that the students can use them to rush a mass shooter and bring them down with sharpened rulers.

you have to remember that dilbert has actually linked press photos of olympic women shooters or something on this forum before, claiming he was 'at the same club as them once'. really sounds like the sort of social scene in which women flock to men with their $10,000 pea shooters.

Excused from from jury duty via during peremptory challenges by the plaintiffs lawyers.

Not that I'd hate jury duty, it might be kind of interesting to sit in on, but my team at work is too small for it to be a minor thing that one of us leaves for a week.

I wouldn't mind doing that once or twice. It's not incredibly often that I'm called up. Haven't had to actually to it. I think two times it was settled without the need for a jury. The most annoying part is the threatening language that's always on the letter. Usual government weight-throwing, like Vader is advising me to not give him the opportunity to alter the terms.

Snoho obviously isn't (Pierce?) but I'm sure they're close.

As long as you're honest with everything, I doubt anything could go remotely wrong. We had ~200 people come in because I think they had 4 potential cases and people were using some strange excuses to get out of it. We also had 20 year olds in their bball shorts and sandals and construction workers in their paint stained coveralls.

In the questionnaire that came with the letter I evidently put in a "no" answer to the question "Could you serve unbiased on a jury?" and the judge called me out in front of the entire court of ~50 people. She said it's commonly answered with a "no" by mistake and I honestly don't remember answering "no" anyway, but it just goes to show that even if you DO put an odd answer in, they'll just ask you about it and you can correct it.

I think pretty much each time was just happenstance. The mentioned settlements, or that enough people responded that it was basically a lottery selection. I think work was a factor on at least one occasion.

Always shown up in at least the upper limits of casual, if not business casual. Locale-appropriate. I would be mortified to appear in court in a pair of dirty tennis shoes and gym shorts, or village people workwear even if I wanted out of the responsibility. Sure, it's not the fanciest building in the world, but it's still a governmental institution, and I'm representing my community.

me either. though the chances of getting an 'enjoyable' experience are pretty slim. chances are you'll end up listening to something incredibly dry and boring and technical ... or you'll get stuck looking at pictures and videos of a father raping their kid or something.

I have jury duty in October. I asked the union rep how it works and apparently since I am salary/government worker, I don't lose anything if they sit me on a jury to look at crime scene photos.

japan finally reopening to full unlimited visiting in october. just in time for my music festival.

apart from china this pandemic is pretty much officially over. even the WHO said that they are thinking of soon downgrading its status. weekly deaths globally last week was something like 10k. and most of those are still occurring in the Land of the Free with No Monarchy and No Problems.

I took your advice and did.

I think they recognised my voice, they said "Yeah no worries Dilbert, we'll get your refund to you ASAP"
And now its been paid.

A case I was involved in, the jury sat out for two weeks of legal argument, were called in to acquit a defendant on the instructions of the judge, and were then themselves discharged as they couldn't hear the rest of the case for legal reasons and were replaced with a new jury - who then acquitted the other defendant on the evidence.
The first jury got two weeks off work I guess.

i sat in the public gallery of a few courts when i was in my late teens and considering a career in law.

considering the actual court days are the relatively 'exciting' bits ... it was dull as ditchwater. and the tedium is far, far preferable to having to see and deal with some of the truly despicable shit that humanity gets up to.

I watched the head of a police complaints and discipline dept have his evidence thrown out for flagrant breaches of the Police and Criminal Evidence act.

Fun times.

The last time I had jury duty the case was about a lady who was sueing a bar because her chair broke and she busted her ass.
