Were you dismissed from jury duty when they learned you were a crime dad?

15 0 ReplyWhen I was a kid I used to drive by the Pirelli building all the time and dreading that I might have to go to work in a big, beige building like that one day. I never liked buildings like that until somehow it just clicked for me in my late twenties. Now I think brutalism and similar styles are wonderful.
Anyway, maybe I'm just a weirdo, but it was actually surprisingly pleasant in there: clean and calm with friendly, easy going staff. I kind of regret getting excused a little bit.

A lot of US Courthouses are physically connected to the Jailhouse and PD, I assume it's the same for other nations but idk.

Why does this building have arrowloops? Are they expecting a siege?
Nvm, after 1/6/20 I suppose every legal institution should always expect violent insurrection.

How dare you enjoy brutalism, don't you know that's a crime?
6 0 ReplyThere might actually be a case to be made that a jury should only consist of people who have gone through the system.
