It worked for Rittenhouse, Zimmerman .. not so much for Derek Chauvin or Tory Davis .. bad, but better than the systems before it :blobcatshrug: -

@djsumdog @p Trial by combat is preferable to America's present system of "justice".

@djsumdog People like to think that because that's the world most people spend most of their time interacting with: if you have an unpleasant neighbor, maybe you greet them somewhat less enthusiastically. It's how a society works: you have to have that kind of mindset to live in a peaceful town. But civilization is a thin veneer, or nobody would ever get stabbed, and it also tends to stop at the border. ✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware: and Johnny Peligro like this. -

@p @djsumdog I mean that I should be allowed to forgo the kangaroo farce and face my accuser in single combat or elect a champion to fight in my stead.

@djsumdog @eriner High-profile cases are the worst cases for evaluating something like this. But that's not American law, those are all individual states.

Not as good as it worked previously, I think. -

@djsumdog @p No, that has to be permitted. If the government kidnaps me, breaks my leg and beats me, then attempts to push me through their gay court where I'll be adjudicated by their gay rules, completely divorced from any true legal system, then I need the right to select a champion.

@eriner @djsumdog Your opportunity for single combat was lost when they kidnapped you. Be more trouble than you're worth if you have that sort of concern: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Joe_Gray -

So who qualifies for trial by combat? Is it just random volunteers in a pool? Does the State get a separate (but equal) pool?
If not, do you get to select your own Champion? Like, you could just select someone you hate from your childhood if you know you're guilty and want them to die too?
Wouldn't that create a society where no one wants to be friends for fear of being volunteered for combat duty? Fuck, it's hard enough to get out of jury duty!In conversation permalink pistolero likes this. -

@djsumdog @p Trial by combat isn't some new-fangled idea. I know of zero instances where champions were FORCED to fight against their will.

@Nepiant Language is a tool we've applied to avoid violence, likewise trade. Violence is the default, it is pretty amazing people managed to come up with something new. In conversation permalink -

Violence is risky. Even the winner is often injured, which could be mortal where a simple cut could kill due to infection. Language and trade allowed for people to bring some certainty to their relations. In conversation permalink pistolero likes this. -
