Juror 10: A middle-aged white male who is retired from preprinting work, he said he followed news about the case off and on. He said he had seen Reynolds' Facebook video. "She seemed overly calm" he said on his juror questionnaire. He owns a handgun and hunts.

Jeez, the number of jurors who claim only passing familiarity with the cast at best ...

10 of the Trumpiest folks in Ramsey co. and 2 black people

Doesn't speak well of the prosecution's competence.
― Dan I., Wednesday, 14 June 2017 20:54 (seven years ago) link
FWIW, the jury foreperson:
Juror 6: A white male in his 40s who is the jury foreperson. A wellness coach for the last seven years, he believes too many "victimless" crimes are prosecuted, including drug use and sex work. He believes marijuana should be legalized. He said he was "somewhat isolated" and knew nothing about the Yanez case.
So one fewer Trumpy folk.

having worked downtown for a little more than 2 yrs nowthe nicollet project has been almost bafflingly mishandled...like to an unreal degree
also it's like they are turning a street w/sidewalks into a....street w/sidewalks
they act like it's the big dig in boston or some shit

You've got about 16 years to go before you can say the Nicollet Project has been mishandled as badly as the Big Dig.

I'm enjoying the "how do we get in the building today?" part of the project.

it's one of those clusterfucks that looks so ridiculous I want to see it if I'm in town
I'd hurry up to do so, but it sounds like I have time
speaking of clusterfucks, outside of the controversy, how's the walker's new sculpture garden?

rumors and stories about this place have been around for a while:

i have to admit i've gone there quite a bit! it's a nice old bar, good dj nights. oh well, good night.

are there actual racist skinheads (jesus christ even typing that, what year is this?) in the twin cities?
down here we've got some dudes who seem like ska/punk holdovers who have kind of morphed into the dudes into their 30s who maybe get into fixing up cafe racer motorcycles or vespas and will show up, there's always the one dude with suspenders, a couple guys with shaved heads, afaik very anti-racist. more tattooed since it's 2017
there's a little overlap with a slightly younger crowd who I think of as "hardcore punk dudes who occasionally reunite their old bands and dj reggae nights" and they're definitely not anywhere near this level of shitheadery
― mh, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 21:40 (seven years ago) link
the one time i went there, the style of the place seemed... gratuitous, but who knows
― j., Wednesday, 30 August 2017 00:00 (seven years ago) link
p4nz3rf4ust records were in frikkin newport mn iirc
i initially hated club jager just because of the name but ended up liking it for the good dance nights (soul music usually) and the great outdoor area
a friend of mine from HS (catch her on project runway!!!) i think rented from the guy, and her husband was the jager bar manager, and they're both cutting ties at great personal expense -- if you know of studio space for a fashion designer and have a job for a bar manager, hmu

also as a heads-up apparently the staff there are getting all kinds of harassment, despite the what-i-would-think-was-obvious fact that none of them knew about the political leanings of the landlord

That's horrible about the Triple Rock. I wonder what happened. It's not like live music or bars have become less lucrative businesses, and as far as I can tell that place was beloved from the start. I certainly loved it.
