Most of the people who lost, lost because they were being sarcastic.

What a complete and utter rubbish.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That was my experience. You also have to remember I I was in civil court.

You made a general statement that MOST of people lost their cases just because they were sarcastic. This is utter tosh.

Judges may not like sarcasm, no argument here. But to say that most people lost due to sarcasm is a complete nonsense.

That is what I said, yes. I had to sit through everyone else's cases. If they were rude, they lost. Most of them that lost were rude.

Edit: I am giving you my anecdotal experience that was across 30+ cases. It was a lot. That's why I'm fairly confident in my assertion. If you want to give me stats, I'll listen. Otherwise, you just seem combative. I even remember several example cases I could give you.

There should be a counterpart to “copaganda” for legal shows and media that depict the court as a pristine, high-stakes, yet ultimately fair process. It's intriguing to witness people's initial confrontations with corruption in this context—I understand their defensiveness, as the introduction of cognitive dissonance can be super uncomfortable.

On another note, it's disheartening to consider how what you experienced likely contributes to the disproportionate legal contempt faced by POC compared to white individuals. Perceptions of rudeness vary widely across cultures, which can definitely influence systemic racism in the legal system.

Yup, let's double down on your nonsense and your lack of understanding correlation and causation 🙄

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I'm asking for stats? Prove your point with better evidence or move on ass hole. You haven't provided any evidence for your argument. You've just been argumentative.
