Mar 2016

and won't be able to push that alert button for 24 hours. Amazing ... I've seen 2 unanimous 0-7 juries in the space of @ 12 hours. I'm thinking the denizens of DU are getting a wee bit fed up with frivolous alerts! Good!

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
