Jury Duty - What Would You Do?

I had Jury Duty past 2 Days and was on the panel to be 1 of the jurors for the trial.  When the defense attorney was questioning potential jurors he elaborated more about the case.  He stated that it was about an illegal immigrant dealing drugs and was part of a gang that coerced him into doing so.  He mentioned where the crime took place.  It was at that moment I felt extremely uncomfortable being in that chair.  This crime happened in my neighborhood and a block from my house.  As I started to realize what this was about and the people this man was associated with my hands started to shake.  Admittedly, I was scared.  This is a small neighborhood.  I may not know that person but it doesn't mean he doesn't know me, seen me, or his associates don't know me.  When the attorney was asking me questions he asked me if I had any other issues or concerns about sitting on this trial.  I told him I do but can not discuss them in open court.  Theytook a recess and I expressed my concern to the lawyers and judge in private.  I was excused from the case.  I felt like I was taking additional risk and sacrificing my security and peace of mind.  I'd like to be able to go to the store or gas station without having to look over my shoulder.  I am torn between whether I was paranoid or that I had good reason to be concerned.

What would you have done?

What a puss. 

Just because there's some small chance you find yourself with a couple pounds of coke up your ass muling for a Mexican drug cartel back and forth across the border while they hold the health and safety of you and your family in the palms of their hands is no reason to shirk your responsibility. 

After all, while only 5% of the world's population resides in this country, we have nearly 25% of the total jail population of the world. No thanks to you, this number could actually drop. What good are we if we no longer have the balls to continue locking up minorities for non-violent crimes for years longer than middle class white guy who kills 4 people drunk driving. 

Man up!

      No one. Why do you think that is? Because they love Bryce Young's media presence, or because they realize the TEAM is an absolute shiite show that very few QBs could have success in? Knowing what you know about Tepper, which do you think is the reason? Don't try to overthink it. It's the obvious answer. These receivers aren't good - yet. Did you watch last night's game? How do you think our receivers stack up to GB and WAS receivers? Hot take... Renfrow should have caught the pass he took a shot on. Sanders caught the exact same pass running the exact same route with the exact same hit later in the game. There was another pass down the sideline that Renfrow should have caught and got his feet inbounds. The pass that was thrown short was a bad throw by Bryce. He flat out missed that throw. No argument there - and a great play call/design by Canales. But a better receiver either catches the ball or draws a PI with the defender's back towards the ball. The defender never saw the ball. He 100% played the receiver. Bryce isn't exactly killing it, but his receivers aren't doing him any favors either. Their job is to make QBs right, not the other way around. Any Joe SHOULD be able to go out there and catch perfect passes in perfect calls where they're wide open. That doesn't make you an NFL wide receiver.

      You all over the map.   First you scoff at seam routes being hospital balls…despite the fact those are always routes QB have to be worried about throwing their WR into a hit.  now you are countering with the “you act like Renfrow is on IR” defense  and the “but how did he keep playing after that” defense lol it’s a hospital.  Simple.  You even got NFL QBs explaining it to you in real time with the all22 and telling exactly where Bryce need to put the ball and when.
