SectionC3

Yeah, this is the part I’m not clear on. Would I test positive immediately after contracting the virus? The next day? Two days later? Etc. If we’re on the shorter end of the spectrum, then it’s possible that that Titans players and personnel acquired the virus after playing the Vikings, which would be great news in terms of containing the intra- and inter-team spread.

Let’s take a deep breath here and start from scratch. What’s the incubation period? What I’m getting at is that it might be possible that the Titans picked this up after the game on Sunday (e.g., at a postgame celebration) and that it might be a “local” issue as opposed to something that affects multiple teams and players outside of a given social group. I will add this: driving through OP yesterday we saw a couple of our own guys hanging out without masks on at one of the local establishments. People have to live, and I don’t knock them for that. But the goal is to win the Super Bowl, and going to bars (which were very crowded, likely because of the weather) does not further that mission. So hopefully the Titans picked this up after the game, and hopefully it’s a lesson for our own guys to double down on precautions.

Perfect thread for the day. Based on the NYT article, it might seem that Trump’s foreign policy is to leverage his position as President of the United States of America to extract as much capital from foreign leaders for his own benefit as possible.

Probable cause is a very low bar (supports your point), very easy to gin up (supports my point), and extremely difficult to challenge after the fact (reality that may need to change).

No argument there. But not an issue if not executed in the middle of the night.

So nobody who could confirm that Taylor and the BF heard it. Which is not surprising bc the warrant was executed at 1a when most of the world is asleep.

Hoax. The warrant has the stink of something that was a bit ginned up insofar as the Taylor residence was concerned. Absent that, no incident. And hoax on your “most damage“ comment. You initially said that a narrative or words was the most damaging thing that occurred here. I believe that the loss of human life is the most damaging thing that has occurred. According to whom? You should stop focusing on this troll issue if you want to be my financial adviser. I can’t have my financial adviser worried about what some people say on the Internet. This myopia does not bode well for your chances to earn my business, sir. You’re getting all snowflakey on us if you’re worried about “malicious intent” of internet randos in this forum. Time to relax a bit!

Caputo is a douchebag and he hangs out with douchebags. That said, I wish him well in his medical struggle and hope that he comes out just fine on the other side so he and I can go back to calling each other douchebags when he’s healthy.

He’s saying you’re a far-right whack job.

Rule #2 on your second sentence, please.

You just moved a little further away from being my financial adviser. Sad.

“Correct address” is sort of the key to the whole thing. Was the address listed on the warrant? Yes. No doubt. But should the address have been listed on the warrant? That’s the question. And what was the link between Taylor and the target of the investigation? A small number of Amazon packages, or something of that sort, IIRC. Seems like a specious reason to search that apartment to this mind. And I take issue with your “most damage” comment. The narrative hasn’t caused the greatest damage. The loss of life is the greatest damage. Which has nothing to do with the narrative. See above. “Right apartment” depends on whether it should have been the subject of a warrant in the first instance.

Please. Victim blaming. It’s also what happens when police ineptly raid the wrong home.

Rule #2, please.

Hoax. The racial strife of which this is a part has been amplified by Trump and certain dopes who follow him. Ahem. Lock her up?

Hoax.

Those 5G cell towers must have fried your brain.

The issue was Donald Trump’s lack of empathy and understanding—you ignored it and deflected by changing the subject to Joe Biden. Happy Friday, hoaxer.

I drive by the windmills in Lackawanna sometimes on the way in to work and I wonder whether Lackawanna is a bubbling windmill cancer cluster. Anyone there who doesn’t watch Fox News or OAN is going to be completely ambushed when the windmill cancer diagnoses start arriving.

Apparently you’re out of touch, too. Or you’re triGGered this morning. Or both!

The reality that people wake up to in 2020 is worse than any nightmare I’ve ever had. Putin, Corona, fake news, hoax this, hoax that, I’m not leaving, 5G towers causing coronavirus, invented election fraud. It just never ends with this guy and the dopes who follow him.

Their trouble included raiding the wrong home. So the shooting of the police officer that you have described is equally as sad as the shooting of Taylor, and undoubtedly was justified. 1a is a big issue on the warrant. Usually these things are done at 6a around here, if I understand correctly. I appreciate there can be situations in which a 1a entry might be appropriate, but I’m not aware of whether this is one of those situations.

He looks like a 23-year-old version of Frank Gore (at age 36). I agree with you. No “pop” or quickness. Maybe the absence of an in-person offseason program hurt him.

Hoax. I read what Chuck said. And he’s right. You’re free to bring the context point into the discussion, but it’s irrelevant to the issue whether the disgraceful series of events that catalyzed Taylor’s death supports a murder or manslaughter charge. Carry on. That’s a really good point. I assume, based on your comment, that the warrant in question was based on probable cause to believe that a drug offense had been committed. And you’re right about the disparate treatment of poor communities; over policing is a problem, absence of community policing is a problem, and sentencing structure with respect to drug convictions is a problem as well. The Taylor issue in many ways is a microcosm of a number of deep societal problems. And for that reason I absolutely understand why so many people are rightfully pissed off about what happened. It’s too bad our President is out to lunch on issues like this one. We would be in a much better place with an empathetic, intelligent, caring leader.

https://sports.yahoo.com/charles-barkley-breonna-taylor-george-floyd-backlash-comments-nba-on-tnt-051020472.html Chuck is spot on here. The Breonna Taylor death is a horrible tragedy. It’s the product of gross, and perhaps even criminal, negligence. It speaks to a need to scale way back on no-knock warrants. It probably also hints at a heightened (and unwarranted) sense of fear in some law enforcement officers during encounters with African Americans. But it is not a murder. Discuss.
