There will never be another pandemic requiring extraordinary efforts from Evil Pharma, so it'll be OK to fuck them on their intellectual property.

Not sure why you are so vested in trying to prove his innocence. I'm not at all vested in proving his innocence; But I do think there is heavy competition as to the cause of Floyd's death. From what I've seen in real life and from ten years on the jiu jitsu mats*, I'm skeptical about the knee on th...

Of course the prosecution would use witnesses that support its case.

Here's one for the defense.

These people are deliciously stupid. Cantanzara requests that the Chicago policy start with a "very clear message" that would-be runners should comply.

I think we may all be unclear. Syaigh maintains that the knee killed Floyd. And that the fentanyl in his system did not contribute.* You maintain it was the prone position. I didn't listen to enough testimony to have a set opinion, but I thought the prosecution thought the knee was a big deal. But m...

Academic question now, but I'm curious.

FatCat and other submission grappling types: Have you ever seen someone choked out* with a knee on the back of neck or shoulder?


*Blood or air choke

1 - I expected rioting no matter what. I was wrong on that. 2 - At trial, was there any evidence that Chauvin had racist intentions? 3 - Assuming Floyd was asphyxiated, I still think his prone position, drug use, and cop on his back were much greater factors than Chauvin's knee. Based on my ten year...

Just curious....assuming there is not a walk out basement, how did firefighters on your job get water on a basement fire, and how many basement fires did you successfully extinguish using this method? Just saw this.^ In my locale there was usually some opening to the basement for an initial hit wit...

As Scott Adams (the Dilbert guy) observed: What % of the people supported Black Lives Matter the day after Floyd's death? Probably 90+%
Now, after this past summer's shenanigans? Significantly fewer.
The BLM movement has shit on its brand. And continues to do so.

FC, yes my question is probably academic.

I'm lightly following the Chauvin trial. The prosecution just presented a medical expert on breathing who testified that Floyd died from restricted breathing, not heart attack or fentanyl OD, as maintained by the Chauvin's defense lawyer. If the MD is right, my question: How to distinguish the breat...

Interesting, the turn this thread has taken.

shh.

Is the accuser Julie Swetnick?

Is this the one where the Republican paid hookers to piss on the bed that Barack & Michelle slept on?

I appreciate Biden being the delivery boy for the Trump vaccine.

.

To convict for any level of murder, the jury must find that Chauvin caused Floyd's death beyond a reasonable doubt . That means excluding heart disease aggravated by resisting, fentanyl overdose, and excited delirium beyond reasonable doubt. From what I've seen so far, that can't be proven. That I t...

About the "means" The media, Biden, and the Left are currently on a jihad against "assault rifles." If experience shows that just as much damage can be done with an ordinary handgun, do you still favor an "assault rifle" ban? If so, on what basis? Experience shows assa...

So if the arresting officers knew about Floyd's history of resisting arrest it would justify, sort of, some of their actions. If not their overuse of force and ignoring his pleas are unjustified. You have a very large, muscular man talking crazy and resisting arrest. Two or three cops weren't able ...

What do you suggest?
A Department of PreCrime, ala Minority Report? Mandatory bible class for all citizens?
OR...mandatory concealed carry for all adult citizens? (My favorite.)

I blame the gun.

Illegal: “Basically”

Painfully obvious to anyone who understands that humans respond to incentives.

There are parallels between the DC Capital Riot and the 2021 summer of riot in various cities: lawlessness, mob action, violence, and property destruction. Colon-Lopez's comments were factually correct, but he used a double-standard to suit his apparent agenda. If troops think they're being spun, pr...
