They would have to take out who ever is appointing these CEO to their position those guys have the power.
And now companies are removing information on their boards... so you wont even know who those people are.

Smart move but publicly traded companies won’t be able to hide names of execs and board members.

NYC is a place where feelings matter way more than facts.
I know maybe a half dozen people who live out there. All are righties. Half wonder if it's not just a lot of corruption mixed with vocal minorities that skews it? My experience is anecdotal. People there also have this weird super focused on their immediate future type disposition. Sort of reads as something like selfish at first but they sort of live within this bubble while also being surrounded by a stampede of people. Like they make a bubble for themselves. Idk maybe they just can't see the bigger picture. I'm also slightly baked for the first time in six months.

Must be frustrating as hell being a conservative out there.

Has that ever happened though - a jury refuses to convict someone on the basis that "yeah he may be guilty, but I just don't want to!" or similar? (Assuming that he is actually guilty, given he was arrested with the murder weapon and a manifesto).

Not trying to be argumentative, I'm genuinely curious if that type of thing occurs, not just in NYC but in the US in general.

Besides the OJ Simpson trial this recent one comes to mind...

Absolutely. It's called jury nullification. It looks like that handsome white rapper beat me to it.

.

And please feel free to be argumentative all you want, friend, this is the internet.

Gary Plauche committed a premeditated murder in front of a recording news crew and got a suspended 7 year sentence. That's pretty damn close.

Ah, was that the guy who shot his son's rapist? I remember seeing the footage some time back.

Nice that he just got slapped on the wrist.

That's the guy. I'm not saying that Luigi will gather that level of empathy, but in New York, you never know.
