Defend612, which seeks to support “resistance to the ICE occupation in Minneapolis,” is promoting two virtual sessions titled “The People’s Pardon or Jury Nullification,” scheduled in the coming weeks.
One event description frames the effort: “Because when systems fail to deliver justice, the people must.”
“Jury Nullification is a legal tactic has been [sic] used to protect one another from unjust laws and political persecution,” the description says. “We will learn about jury nullification — or the people’s pardon — how it’s been used, ways it can stem authoritarian overreach, and how we can use it today.”

Jury nullification is like free speech. You won't always like what it produces but it's historically been well worth the cost.

A left-wing activist group opposing President Donald Trump’s law enforcement crackdown in Washington, D.C., has been coaching residents on how to use jury duty as a form of political activism, explicitly encouraging them to “influence outcomes” in criminal cases.
Free DC, a progressive organizing group that has emerged as one of the most visible opponents of the Trump administration’s federal crime and security surge in the capital, recently hosted a “juror teach-in” aimed at reframing jury duty as a political tool rather than a neutral civic obligation.

The jury system and jury nullification are how democracy is exercised, ya dildoes. Without it, the cover of "law" could be used by a tyrannical government to impose anything it wished upon the public. A juror being able to say "no, this law sucks and no one should be beholden to it" is the tool for the people to enforce their cultural and social norms.

Lawfare doesn't exist.

It’s so fascinating how Dems dust off the old Jim Crow era playbook and run the same play that prevented white convictions for crimes against blacks leading up to the civil rights era. The party is still that same party it always was, a criminal enterprise

Or as the democrats use it, a tool to destroy cultural and social norms.
If jurors can choose which laws to follow in court, why can't they choose which laws to follow outside of it? Why wouldn't "I'm just enforcing our cultural norms" be an excuse for breaking any law?
Isn't that also what judges use all over the world to release foreign rapists back into native populations? "Oh, it's their cultural norm to rape everything that moves, so we can't hold them to any of our laws."
Allowing people who assault cops to go free and illegals to continue raping citizens isn't a good defense for our current system.
Also, it is our norm to arrest people who assault cops. Democrats are using it let violent criminals off. So, jury nullification isn't actually enforcing our norms and culture, is it?

People do this all the time. Heck, the War on Drugs failed because of this simple decision.

No, Mr. Ha-Gotteem. Judges aren't jurors, they are jurists.
As for the rest of your diatribe, please try to stay on topic. Your outrages can be vomited in the appropriate receptacles when present.
