Oh, man, this reminds me of when the default username/passcode was being shared for the displays. 4chan had its moments. I wonder if they are still the same...

Yeah - I remember reading about how these signs were laughably easy to "hack" a few years ago.
I thought about it for minute when the city installed one down the street. Then I imagined the weird shame I'd feel when my neighbors inevitably caught me, so never tried it out. Actually, in retrospect, they'd probably have helped.
I always wanted to warn about radioactive bears ahead. I don't know why that was always the thing, but it seemed silly enough to make people smile while scaring the idiots.
That's so charming! It's my absolute favorite thing today.
Where I grew up there was an urban legend about radioactive deer. It was pre-internet, the deer were legitimately weird, and they lived in the woods adjacent to one of the US's earliest nuclear research facilities. Everyone had seen them. The facility was active and well guarded. It seemed... plausible. Very plausible.

But did it scare the radioactive bears?
They probably are. People tampering with the signs only causes drivers not to be aware of hazardous conditions ahead, so no one in authority cared.
But not for much longer, now that someone used one to gloat about the death of a CEO.
Just dropping by to make sure people get out there and speak to the less online folk of Pennsylvania and New York about your legitimate and reasonable doubts that Luigi is the guy as well informing about the horrors US health insurers conduct on a daily basis and the concept of jury nullification because it will be really interesting.
You have to be very particular if you're going to do that.
Jury nullification is not allowed. Voting not guilty because you have reasonable doubt is always allowed. You don't have to explain why you have reasonable doubt.
The fact that those happen to be jury nullification is unfortunate for those who would like to disallow it.
If you say "nullification", you can likely be removed from the jury. If you say you believe they did it, but you're going to vote not guilty anyway, you might be removed. If you just insist you have reasonable doubt, and insist that decision is yours to make, you can't be removed.
Jury nullification is absolutely allowed. It's the entire reason citizen juries exist. Otherwise, it would be better to have judicial panels determine guilt based on strict interpretation of the law.
The last line of defense against unjust laws and a corrupt judicial system is citizen juries who can refuse to convict.
Get on a jury, say exactly that, and see what happens.
Article I, Section 8 of the New York Constitution explicitly allows for Jury nullification. It says directly that the jury may determine the law in their ruling on the case.
I would still be very careful about when and where and how you say it. Quoting the state constitution at the right time should certainly give you more leeway than other states, but I wouldn't risk saying it too early.
It's best to just treat it as not allowed, at least until deliberation. Maybe even then.
They can lie and remove jurors all they like. They can't do shit about jury nullification if done right. It's the logical consequence of a jury not being forced to give a guilty verdict, and repeat trials being disallowed.
If you're a juror, it's dead simple. Keep your answers during selection honest, don't reveal anything you don’t have to, don't talk about jury nullification, vote not guilty no matter what, and express the reasonable doubts in a sensible manner. There are plenty of in depth how to guides out there as well.
It's legal. They just can also legally drop you the moment they think you're a nullifier.
A how to guide for jury nullification for those interested:

Waiting for the turn of this asshole
I know there are many others, but this one has a special place
Who is this smug mug?
Martin Shkreli, the asshole who's company raised Daraprim prices from 13,50 to 750$ per pill.
Shkreli defended the price hike by saying, "If there was a company that was selling an Aston Martin at the price of a bicycle, and we buy that company and we ask to charge Toyota prices, I don't think that that should be a crime.
Well, at least...
In 2017, Shkreli was convicted in federal court on two counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy. He was sentenced to seven years in prison and up to $7.4 million in fines. In the civil antitrust case, Shkreli was fined a further $64.6 million to be repaid to victims. In May 2022, he was released early from the low-security federal prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. He is permanently banned from serving as an officer of any publicly traded company.

How long do we think this will stay up?
One less CEO?
World has been getting a lot of flak lately over taking down content advocating for violence against the ruling class. I'm surprised this has stayed up.
They say they are under Dutch and German laws which do not allow the same “free speech” as other countries so called free speech.
Germany is pretty strict about all forms of free speech, especially Hetzner (a large hosting provider based in Germany) who have been known to cancel people's servers if they get complaints.
That's what she said.
Hey hey
Ho ho
One less ceo
You can't say that. It should be "one fewer CEO"
Is this real?

Letting Americans die to earn a $30 billion dollar profit a year?
- Not disturbing
One heartless, greedy CEO getting offed?
- OMG, WTF why?!?!
The incident has raised questions about the motive behind the message
Hoohhhh, boy......
Oh wow, I thought this was photoshop. Brilliant.
This is amazing and encouraging!
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Honk for the stonk!
Sea Tac Story
Was this in SeaTac?
Edit: looks like it was on Dexter.
I saw highway 99 and my brain said close enough.
