Tenshitsyou doesn't believe different areas think differently...therefore jurors simply cannot be wrong or biased. Take 10Q's home town, where TDS has completely derailed the populace's ability to think rationally.... +++++ Crime-Ridden San Francisco Seeks To Allow Lawsuits Against Grocery Stores Fleeing The City As Mass Corporate Exodus Continues finance.yahoo.com Caleb Naysmith Fri, April 12, 2024 at 8:13 AM PDT Crime-Ridden San Francisco Seeks To Allow Lawsuits Against Grocery Stores Fleeing The City As Mass Corporate Exodus Continues San Francisco has long been feared to be falling into a doom loop, a situation where taxpayers leaving the crime-ridden city results in lower tax revenues leading to cuts in services and rising taxes, making it even less desirable to live in. It can be especially devastating when a community's essential businesses, such as grocery stores, decide to leave. San Francisco experienced this last year when Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN)-owned Whole Foods Market Inc. shut down its flagship store in the city after being open for just over a year, citing employee safety concerns. Nearly 570 emergency calls were reported from the location in that period, including desperate pleas to police saying "male [with] machete is back," and "another security guard was just assaulted." At the time, San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Matt Dorsey said he was "incredibly disappointed" with the store closing. "Our neighborhood waited a long time for this supermarket, but we’re also well aware of problems they’ve experienced with drug-related retail theft, adjacent drug markets and the many safety issues related to them," Dorsey said. Now, politicians are attempting to fight back. Dean Preston, another member of the Board of Supervisors, recently introduced a proposal called the Grocery Protection Act, which would require a closing store to provide the city six months’ notice and try to find a replacement supermarket for the location it’s vacating. Elaborating on his proposal, Preston said, "Our communities need notice, an opportunity to be heard and a transition plan when major neighborhood grocery stores plan to shut their doors." According to the proposal, anyone impacted by a non complying grocery store could initiate legal proceedings. It’s not just grocery stores that have had enough of the city. Other large businesses that recently closed their downtown San Francisco locations include Adidas, AT&T Inc., Nordstrom and Lego Group.

>> 12 jurors disagree with you. Actually, 7 jurors disagree with me. Two don't agree she was raped or penetrated otherwise. As you might be aware, this is how a civil trial works, NOT a criminal trial. Hence, there was no crime under any circumstance, since there was zero evidence. And the jury could not conclude a rape occurred on the evidence. See how this works, when you're objective is merely to prevent re-election? You don't have to have truth; you just have to have a judge who is willing to break the rules. Which he did, time and again -- by excluding exculpatory evidence, and including stuff he wanted the jury to hear that wasn't evidence at all. This was far from being a rape trial in the style of "To Kill a Mockingbird". Atticus Finch would have a cow. IN A CRIMINAL TRIAL, EVERYONE MUST AGREE: A CRIME OCCURRED. This isn't that. You can have four out of five disagree, and still make the man pay. And if he says words the judge doesn't like, you can make him pay $100 Million. That's right. For talking back the price of "justice" is multiplied by 20. The entire point of this trial was to smear Trump with a rape. Nancy, your beloved Nancy, calls it a "wrap-up smear" -- they do it all the time. Where the media is convinced it should legitimize a smear against a political enemy. They deployed it daily against Trump. If you believe there is a God, you have to believe there will be justice for Donald Trump.
