    Has anyone heard of the Captured Project?

    For over a year, we asked people in prison to paint or draw people we felt should be in prison–the CEOs of companies destroying our environment, economy, and society.

    Here are the results. Click on the images to see the crimes committed by both the companies and the artists.

    We present this project to help expose crimes masquerading as commerce.



  • a jury can’t be punished for an “incorrect” verdict

    I agree with everything you said, but I just wanted to point out that a juror can’t legally be punished. I live in an area where both the city police and the county sheriffs are corrupt. They hold vendettas against anyone that pisses them off. One even stalked and assulted an ex using police lookup tools. Got caught, got slap on the wrist and he’s back at it, just more carefully now.

    My point is that it’s supposed to be that jurors can’t be punished for their decisions, but in reality they might have to watch their back if the piss off the arresting officer (or anyone with power).

    I hate living here. I wish I could afford to move.
