Poll question: How many DU'ers have been to jail/prison?
Just thought I would take a poll to see just how degenerate all you crazy leftists really are. I'll start:
I've been arrested twice, both protest related. The longest I spent in jail was about 10 hours, and both times no charges ended up being brought against me. I still have no convictions on my record.
Now, your turn.
Poll result (205 votes)
I've never been arrested (121 votes, 59%) Vote
I've been arrested but only spent a brief time in jail (48 votes, 23%) Vote
I have served a short time in jail (several days to a few months) (19 votes, 9%) Vote
I have served a modest amount of time in jail (more than a few months but under one year) (5 votes, 2%) Vote
I've been incarcerated for an extended stay in prison (5 votes, 2%) Vote
I am typing this on the prison's computer that they let us use for our edjucashun classes (7 votes, 3%) Vote

5. Damn, 35% of respondents are or have been "in the system". Why does this not terrify you?
The DU demographics have shown many times that DU is an exceptional sample of above average America. Mostly white, higher incomes, better educated, etc. and still about 1/3 have had negative contact with the "justice" system.
Good thing we don't live in some kind of police state.
Not yet, we don't. Just remember, it's you useful idiots that are rounded up first.

8. Remember that a lot of us are protesters that have crossed that certain line before
I'm willing to bet that that makes up a good portion of those "arrested but only spent a brief time in jail" responses. But the sheer fact that so many citizens feel compelled to do so should tell you a lot about America.
Yes, it tells me that even people that hate America are allowed to live here.

25. Because respondents are self-selected.
One third of DUers having been in gaol would, indeed, be a terrifying statistic; one in three of those DUers who choose to respond to a thread about the topic answering "yes" merely means that people who have are more likely to answer polls about it.
This is one of the many reasons opinion polling is an inexact science at best.
The pedophiles don't want to comment on this poll, do they? That would drive the number over 35%.

6. 4 hours in the county lockup
During the rather brief period of time between my ex confessing to an affair and wanting a divorce, and us leaving the state because her parents lied to CPS, we started packing to move. When I brought home the U-Haul and started loading the truck, they must have driven past at some point and realized what I was doing (my ex had already fled to Minnesota with our kid). The only thing they had in the toolbox to delay me was telling the local police I had a 2-year-old warrant out for my arrest for a $21 bounced check.
So the cops came by at 5am to arrest me, cuffs and cop car and all... they had gotten a faxed copy of the warrant at 4am. At 8am they brought my case before a judge, at 8:30am a deputy said I had to bond $100. I had $40, so he offered to go to the ATM for me. I gave him my PIN, he got the money, I bonded out, and walked the block-and-a-half back to my house to finish packing.
I was gone that afternoon. Haven't seen or spoken to my ex-in-laws since.
My ex-father-in-law has throat cancer now. It makes me smile.
You're a sick :censored: to be happy for that. Did they report you for child abuse?

I was expecting it to be closer to 75% who have been in trouble with the law.

Above average for the level of insanity no doubt.
Not just my opinion either your own proclamations DUmmies as most of you claim to suffer from some mental disorder. :rotf:

White is better than average, you see. Nobody called him out on this? Also, regardless of whether the income part is true, I thought DUers HATED rich people.
What a shit-eating post in so many ways.

42. LA county jail 5 months. Driving on a suspended license number three
The judge told me I had no respect for the law. I said DUH!
And she raised her son with the same values. Who woulda thunk it?
-
5 months on driving on a suspended? Even on a third offense? In LA County?
I call bullshit. You could get nailed for your third DUI in LA and not get that kind of jail time.

I was going to make the same comment.

Stupid JoAnne98 is one of those skanky hos you see on Cops? Even more reason to dislike her. Strange, a fan of Big Government, yet a scofflaw.
-
Only on DU are people stupid enough to lie about having been inside to gain credibility while simultaneously claiming that they're "above average".
-
I went over to see if anybody caught the white better than avg comment. Nobody ever did, they were all clamoring to announce their lives of crime and punishment.

Pretty sad that less than sixty percent of them have managed to stay out of handcuffs.

No, it's alarming that sixty percent of them got away with it.
