“Met Police already threatening peaceful protesters at the ‘Lord Walney’ 16 appeal hearing”
by The Canary @thecanaryuk @UKLabour
“The mass appeal concerns 16 political prisoners with combined sentences of 41 years handed down between July and September 2024. They are known as the Lord Walney 16”
@freemo @messaroundmarx There are 2 quotes here.
I assume it's the 2nd quote mostly about authoritarianism that is mostly the focus...
...which, if so, would you consider authority or authoritarianism as an uncaring (or almost financially-only caring) Bank and State Authority as the kind of dictator(s) or de-facto equivalent (i.e. without you totally using Bank or State then you are a mere nothing deliberately made increasingly conditional, whether they declare themselves as this or that political label.
Those two (or just for the purposes of this reply) are sole rulers and sources of life (or monopoly of it) and soon imprisoning people for non-conforming reasons (more examples of kangeroo #courts / #juries asked to #ignore evidence / terrorism chargers used on Twitter / Mastodon style social people silences and in jail / mothers arrested fpr speaking etc)...
So theoretically or de-facto would you agree Modern #Capitalism (or just today's type of actions and non-action of Banks 
and State 
(whatever we call their actions as) is requiring these two authorities and not just the softer or neutral types of Capitalism.
The increasing #ultimatum and #conditional demanding #conforming to (or take it or leave life if you want) makes increasingly everything #illegal or incompatible by default and today's kind of Capitalism is more #punishment orientated...
Capitalism here as a constantly changing or added #restriction / #redefinition which is why we can not just focus on #labels like Authoritarianism but the #behaviour and track #record / #history, as well as what they #finance (#war), how they have things failed constantly in echange for profit / power etc etc, that contribute to similar things...
As part of constant systematic pattern (whatever we call that) and even considering people being #ignorant also (yes), but definitely no change to that model of #business as usual. Namely #tax, #territorial #aggression etc.
And on the other side more positive to humans, today it's hardly about #communication between #state and people, giving power to people, talking about well-being of humans, which I'd include as part of what makes it "Authoritarian style" behaviour also when it's without those components and considerations... would you agree?
Happy New Year by the way :)

“#Florida does what the #Constitution #forbids because of us,” the #DonaldTrump #appointee #wrote in a #dissenting #opinion.
@tagesschau Der #ESC ist seit mehreren Dekaden #politisch. Dafür haben die #Juries gesorgt, die mit ihren #Wertungen stets Zeichen für #Diversität und Toleranz setzen. Das beweisen die krassen Unterschiede in den Wertungen zwischen Juries und einfachen Bürgern.
Der Konflikt zwischen #Israel und #Palästinensern oder die #Genderfrage, spielten beim einfachen Bürger kaum eine Rolle. Da zählte die #Musik.
Insofern sollte man das (auch für #Korruption anfällige) #Jurysystem abschaffen.

‘Assault on rights of juries’: activist decries Tory challenge to legal defence for protesters

If you're a #trans person who is assaulted or murdered in #Texas, do not expect #justice. The #hateful #bigots that populate Texas #juries have no problem ignoring the #law, and rejecting facts that are inconvenient to their predetermined opinions. They're happy to let someone off for capital #murder if the #victim is a trans person. Pack your shit, Texas friends. Life is too short to waste away in a state that prides itself on hate and violence.

'#TrudiWarner reveals the dark secret of #English #courts: #juries do have the right to follow their consciences
The #SolicitorGeneral taking action against a #ClimateProtester who held up a sign outside court raises a vital issue for #CriminalJustice
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/sep/27/trudi-warner-english-courts-juries #Law #Justice #England
Because #legality is not #morality, in the #UK we have #juries which "allow ordinary people to decide what is right and fair"
Enshrined in law for centuries is the absolute right of juries to acquit a defendant according to their #conscience
Imagine a country that threatens people with imprisonment for simply reminding #jurors of their #rights?
Imagine a country that imprisons #defendants because they say #ClimateChange or #FuelPoverty in their defense?
That country is the #UK (although I expect this does not happen in Scotland!)
Is It Forensics or Is It Junk Science?
Dubious forensic techniques have spread throughout the criminal justice system for decades. Here’s what ProPublica has learned about junk forensic science techniques and how they proliferate.

While Judge #Chutkan noted that she had already spoken to the judge in the Manhattan case, the fact that 3 of the 4 #criminal cases confronting #Trump could go before separate #juries in separate cities w/in weeks of one another reflects the extraordinary nature of the Trump’s #legal (or rather illegal) situation.

… amongst … jurymen who have to hang about the precincts of the Supreme Courthouse … a story … caused some merriment… [a] juryman [was] told … it was usually the custom now to challenge a man with a beard, bc enough of his face could not be seen to judge sufficiently of his character.… [a juror shaved off] his beard … was allowed without objection to take his seat!…
