Interesting discussion and informative. Has anyone heard any discussion of WHY Chauvin is choosing a trial by jury as opposed to a bench trial? It seems to me like a judge would be far more capable of tuning out the broader discussion and focusing on the letter of the law. In both you need to convi...

I read that the Minnesota supreme court (or something like that) ruled that he could be tried for 3rd degree murder. Reading the language of it, much easier case for the prosecution. Not easy, but easier.

But you can prove Chauvin's actions killed GF and that still doesn't make it murder. Right? All you need is reasonable doubt. Gross negligence? Manslaughter. But murder? I mean, I don't know the laws on this but I'd guess they are all screwed in a civil trial. But for a criminal 2nd degree murder? &...

3. Asphyxia. Two autopsies say so. No evidence that he would have died had he not been kneeled on. That's not true at all, at least as far as I understand it. The brother had heart disease and COVID-19 and was on an elephant's dose of meth and Fentanyl that was well into the lethal range. And he wa...

Fucking nonsense. Your great grandma wasn't that fat because she had to work. The immense people of today don't want to admit that weight impacts health. Period. My great grandfather was a very large man. Very tall. Over 6'3. Very big. Thick arms. Thick neck. Thick belly. He was in a Japanese priso...

One thing I think - Don't fight the cause of death. It's sort of immaterial here and why base your case on something you could lose? I would fight it on intent and allowable use of force. Let the footage and and evidence show that the George Floyd was acting in such a way that the response, restrain...

1. Not really. I don't know how you pull intention out of this. It seems a real stretch. 2. Yes. Knee compression allowed. I do not know if there are any guidelines for how long. 3. Asphyxia. Two autopsies say so. No evidence that he would have died had he not been kneeled on. 4. Jury selection 100%...

How so?

Transmissions of ALL types of illness at schools with the "layers of mitigation" has just stopped. And it's not only because kids are not coming to school sick anymore. (Not letting them.) Those kids who get sick were in school - presymptomatic - for days. Schools are just not seeing the ...

You can detect outbreaks of Covid by testing sewage samples. For America, sewage is not really a spread factor. Most of Americans use toilets that flush. So you are only exposed to your own fecal matter, and if it has Covid it's because you already have it.. I would suspect that portable restrooms,...

It is literally not that complicated. You identify the chain of transmission. You break it. The chain is respiratory. But here are some other professionals.

Going back to the masks. Masks work. Where did this year's flu epidemic go? How many cases of the flu in the winter of 2020? Might be a good point. Last year I had some visitors to a lab. In the lab was a grad student who wears a mask because he is in the end game of beating back stage 4 lymphoma, ...

Going back to the masks. Masks work. It makes no sense that they wouldn't. If I limit how much I breathe on you and how much you breathe on me, we will limit exposure to illness. It isn't that complex. The problem with mask use is that you can't mandate it where disease spreads. In the home. At soci...

I had Moderna. Sore arm, fever at about 30 hr mark. Felt normal by 72hr. Moderna. Fine the day of. Next day, arm got progressively so sore that the pressure of a shirt hurt it and sleeping was hard. That and a general feeling of heaviness in the head and lethargic. Minor trouble breathing. Third da...

For things like this - I am assuming someone pays the D trumps lawyers right? This isn't pro bono work? Do the impeachment lawyers get paid? If some of these people sue him for civil damages for the riots? The upcoming New York State cases? The potential "he groped me back in the day" case...

Using sex trafficking of children by q and other groups has nothing to do with sex trafficking of kids. It is a simple trigger and diversion. "Why are you out protesting for BLM when THERE ARE CHILDREN BEING SEX TRAFFICKED." It's the part of the double holy grail for riling up the base. Ra...

Finished the Count of Monte Cristo before the holidays. Thank you for the rec good people. Loved it. Read the first book in The Wastelanders omnibus by K.C. Merbeth. It's fine. I wouldn't call it great, but it kept me entertained. Set in a future wasteland world is a desert apocalypse. Young girl on...

Right now Southern Cali is a bloodbath. Because you have Mexicans living ten to an apartment. We have the same problem here with other groups that live in close quarters. Perhaps build a wall? I was surprised to see that our per housing density, or whatever the statistic is, is even higher than New...

Interesting. Of course, you have to dig in and see what exactly they mean when they say MRNPIs versus what they mean when they say NPI. One of the control countries they use is South Korea, which while it did not do what they call more restrictive NPIs does have a very strong and strict contact tra...

You do know, Nafod, that Donald Trump is the person who ordered the Organized Militia to "occupy" the US Capital. Did he? I watched the press conference last night where the FEMA Head, acting as the head of the DHS, gave a briefing to leadership. It was Pence and SS and FBI, etc., talking...

Media does not work to unite. The government did not work to unite. When everything is this destabilized, who could be surprised that there are a group of people willing to believe our election was rigged and fraud? Look that the past four years. It has been an epic storm. And from their point of v...

Since you guys are both being equally thick, I will address you in the same post. Perhaps in crayon? Forget about the election per se, that's not the point. The point is the rioters. Why are there so many people out there, on both the left and right, that are feeling disoriented and anxious and rea...
