| 58. Jury duty exposes people to all sorts of horrors |
|
My sister was a juror on a pedophilia case in which they were required to watch three videotapes of a father performing full penetrative rapes of his 10 year old daughter. The sicko recorded the videos...WITH CLOSEUPS...for posterity. She also had to listen to testimony from the guys wife and friends talking about how he was such a friendly and upstanding guy, and how they were all clueless as to what was happening.
She ended up needing counseling, because the case made her paranoid about her 8 year old daughter being around ANY male...including her husband, and even my father and myself. The counselor ended up diagnosing her with a form of PTSD.
Doing your "civic duty" can suck sometimes.

The difference is that guns were designed to kill humans, tractors were not. |
