I think the defense attorney is purposely trying to lose the case now. He keeps plays excruciating moments of Floyd dying for the jury to watch while making heartless arguments about his defendant's innocence.

And the right path is to give the benefit of the doubt to a sadistic argument? I said in this thread that the defense attorney did as good a job as someone in his position could do. But to buy into Chauvin's innocence, you must believe that there is a world where kneeling on someone's neck for 2 minutes after they have no pulse is OK. Everything else is missing the forest for the trees, at best.

Says the biggest cheerleader for the argument that what Chauvin did is perfectly legal.

We played nickel against 2 wr sets a ton, probably bc they thought Klein was a liability in coverage against RB's and TE's. Cox makes his living covering TE's... Plus, what happens if Milano is injured for extended periods? I'm not sold on the backups they brought it. He's going to have a pro day on the 26th, I guess we'll see if he's got the speed to play Big Nickel / SS.

I really think a number of the most notorious mass shooters, without access to guns via the internet, would have had to keep living out their violent fantasies in their head and through their video games. Certainly not all, but a significant number.

I hear that. I voted Jabril Cox bc I think he is the BPA.

I do think there is a certain profile for mass shootings, the ones with poor social skills who literally live in their parents basement, who would never have been able to aquire guns had it not been for the internet. Certainly not all of these events, but a number of them, would have been prevented if it weren't possible to go online and order guns and ammo.

I almost added his name. I think if we don't take a CB until the 3rd rounds that's where he makes sense.

I think we are far along enough in "The Process" where we can bring in players who aren't process guys and fit them into "The Process."

100% of R's elected to Congress?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 99.9% of the anti-gun control right wing would consider your reasonable and solution oriented suggestions highly unconstitutional and bordering on tyranny.

I can imagine. sheesh... I have family out that way, ever see this? https://www.google.com/maps/@42.8564622,-78.5558234,3a,17.6y,117.96h,85.38t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1stTTqapPURo6m7MCEY0PKBw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 https://www.google.com/maps/@42.856583,-78.5556041,3a,66.2y,164.15h,79.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sS_aK7hVn9fVV8vZVKY3YiQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

I worked on a project that dove into the prevalance of work place violence. It was eye opening. It is one amongst a number of major life events that seem to trigger violence episodes. Taking a step back, I think everyone can agree that our country has a problem with violence...

It would not have been good.

I find it hard to believe that the O2 levels were not submitted as evidence during discovery. And it's also strange that the prosecution expert testified about the theoretical possability of Carbon Monoxide poisoning without ever looking at C02 levels.

Anyone can use labels to dehumanize others, and it's way easier for power trippers to justify crossing the line when they've put the person they are about to dominate in a dehumanized "less than" catageory. The "less than" categories also explain why most white people don't care about most white people who get killed by police. They were criminals, or white trash, or mentally ill.

I saw both killings reported. The Dallas cops mocking Timpa were pretty sick. They continued making fun of him even while was in the ambulance, until the EMT let them know he was dead... They didn't think they killed him. The cop who shot Daniel Shaver was worse, imo. He was just itching to blow that poor guy away, and he did, while he was quivering on his knees. A cop with "you're *****" etched into his AR-15 is a pretty good sign that you're dealing with a sociopath.

Here's an interesting article on the subject: https://newrepublic.com/article/158400/cops-white-supremacy-black-lives-matter

I think attention to detail has slipped drastically as a result of pandemic mush brain and way too much screen time.

You have to be sadistic to buy that argument.

They used so much archival footage from so many sources, but a main source of footage around the Florence and Normandy area was filmed by a local resident and used to convict a number of people. As far as the jury goes, the trial was moved out of LA County into Simi Valley. The film does a great job showing the racial tensions at the heart of the decision. But imo, the acquital also speaks to the protection police are given by past Supreme Court rulings. When Powell and Koons testified that they were scared for their lives and thought beating him like that was the only way to avoid using deadly force, the law absolves them unless it is able to be proven that they are lying.

I'm pretty sure that mental illness and/or emotional instability was a driving factor that motivated many of the people who stormed the Capitol. As it probably was with many of the people who burned buildings to the ground during the BLM protests. I went on to clarify that no, I don't believe mental illness was the cause of death. While a bullet to the chest is quicker and clearer than a knee to the neck, it is a similarly absurd argument as saying the cause of death in George Floyd's case was his pre-exisitng heart condition and substance abuse and not the knee to his neck for almost 10 mins.
