SectionC3

Time to castigate but not time to respond on the merits. BillsTime, 1, westside2 and BuffaloGal, 0. Scared of the snowflakes, I see. That is not dominant. Sad!

Hoax. There’s nothing reverential about the statement. And the collective kneeling is a form of unified speech.

The second sentence is a hoax. You don’t have a clue about what I do and don’t believe. I fail more often than I succeed, but I do my best to live a pious life. The first sentence is partially true. I don’t concern myself with Donald Trump’s spiritual health. He is someone who exploits religion for personal gain. I wish that he would not do that, but unfortunately I am powerless to instill the Holy Spirit within him.

Hoax. There are no reasonable responses to that point because the initial premise was (surprise, surprise) BS. Everyone knows it.

I’m not worried about Trump’s health. He’s the “healthiest president ever,” remember? I’m worried about the message his obesity sends to the rest of the world. I don’t want people like Putin to think that he’s lazy and soft. I’m also concerned about his commission of the deadly sin of gluttony. There are a lot of starving people in the world, and I worry that Trump dishonors the Holy Spirit by dishonoring his body. I also worry for Trump’s apostles, who dishonor their fathers by commiserating with that glutton.

Radio is dead, my man. But egg McMuffin sales near the whites house are probably holding steady. The healthiest president ever probably is McMuffin seven or eight already this morning. Jus doing his part to curtail world hunger.

You failed to dominate in this post. Sad!

You are becoming your worst fear..................boring. . Why don't you post the picture with the three lies on it...............that always makes you feel important Don, Qusay, and Uday are going to be pissed. You completely failed to dominate in this post. People are going to think you’re a fool, or a jerk. Sad!

This is why you’re on the washed up psycho list.

Yeah that’s pretty twisted.

Maybe that’s why he’s chilling in his DC bunker. Mowing McNuggets, rage tweeting, and playing some 4D chess with these snowflake governors. That’s the ticket.

Ha! I don’t drink, smoke, or eat meat. Let’s see this Trumpy quote, big boy. Nope. He’s a douche. My God isn’t short of cash. Maybe Bigfoot was found and the NSA blacked it out for that reason. America can only handle so much right now

Maybe he was one of the good people at Charlottesville.

Maybe they can do Big Macs by zoom.

LOL. He’s already been “tried!” He pleaded guilty. Notice that the brief is headed by a partisan, not a career prosecutor. This is precisely why the trial court solicited amicus submissions.

Billy can snuggle with Donnie in Donnie’s DC bunker of Billy brings some McD’s with him to Washington.

In some places it gets left there between Masses, particularly during COVID since altar boys aren’t supposed to be working. Sorry, but you’re drawing a false equivalency. Looks pretty disproportionate to me when one considers that there are far more whites in this country than there are blacks and Hispanics. If there was a “f*** no” option I would have selected that one. I have enough to do to keep my own house in order so I won’t throw too many stones. But what he did was insulting to those of us who believe and who try (unsuccessfully, more often than not) to live our lives the right way.

Good for you. We invested what we received. It was a nice time to buy.

Those pandemic Trumpbucks must have really pissed you off. I’m a Democrat and I didn’t like the idea. I begrudgingly came around, but I now I worry that we wasted the money because we lost the opportunity to get ahead of the virus.

The autopsy is essential to the prosecution because it establishes causation. Assume, for fun, that Floyd ODed on opioids and was going to die irrespective of what Chauvin (who was unaware of the imaginary opioid use) did or didn’t do. Chauvin’s probably guilty of the NYS equivalent of assault second in that scenario, subject to amplifications based on the commission of the crime under color of law of which I’m not aware. But he’s not going down for depraved indifference murder or manslaughter in that scenario because his actions would not have caused the death of another person. Action is a good word here; depravity really is about action (say, beating a baby to within an inch of its life) and then inaction (failing to seek medical help for the injured baby and leaving the baby to die while you watch TV). Finally, depravity is difficult to prove, no matter how obvious it might seem in this situation. To my knowledge, it’s withstood appeal once in New York State (Peo v Barboni, from which the baby fact pattern is drawn). It is not a charge to be thrown around casually or to be relied on except for in the rarest of circumstances. The extreme difficulty in proving intentional murder here, coupled with the desire to prosecute for something other than manslaughter and the very unique nature of this situation, make it appropriate here. But it is a nettlesome crime to prove.

I don’t agree with AOC’s politics, but she knocked out the guy who probably was going to be the next Speaker of the House and got herself into Congress. You, by contrast, are just another guy on an Internet message board. I’m not much more removed from that myself. So she deserves some credit there.

Nope. I’m just not going to chase ghosts on whatever conspiracy theory website it is that you rely on. You have some decent information, share it. Otherwise I’m not going to bother chasing down some Trumpian anti-Obama conspiracy theory. After birtherism and Obamagate stuff like this doesn’t get my benefit of the doubt. He held it upside down, too. Fitting that the Godless phony would do something like that.

You be the doctor, I’ll be the lawyer. Kneeling on a dead guy isn’t nearly as reflective of depraved indifference as failing to get medical help when the absence of pulse is identified. I realize that here the action/inaction is basically one and the same, but Chauvin’s not charged with defiling a corpse, he’s charged with essentially acting with indifference toward whether Floyd lived or died. Under your approach anyone who gets in a bar fight and puts somebody in a choke hold for too long a period could be hit with a depraved indifference crime. That’s not what depraved indifference is or what it was intended to be used for. Sure, the “other” officers can be charged with anything under the sun. But what charges will stick under the law? Simply saying that they can be charged with whatever I mentioned is akin to reaching into your rear and pulling something out. This is a nation of laws, and I don’t believe in whacking people with elevated charges simply for the sake of doing so. To do so is to abuse prosecutorial power. So if the prosector is going to charge those officers, the misconduct has to fit the alleged crime.

Charged with what? Accessorial liability? Criminally negligent homicide? Official misconduct? Defiling a corpse? The devil lies in the details there. And what about the other two officers? Their conduct (and, potentially, misconduct) is an equally murky deal. I’m not saying that those three are innocent (in a literal sense) or that they have moral high ground. I’m just not sure what, if any, criminal liability they should face. I’m not politicizing our exchange - hear me out - your point reminds me of Trump yesterday on that call saying that looters/rioters should get “five years, ten years” of imprisonment. It’s a nice thought, and for some of the rioters it might be an appropriate punishment. But the question is how to achieve that goal under the law, much as we need to answer how under the law to hold the “other” three officers responsible in the Floyd incident. I have no idea what criminal statute Trump was relying on in seeking decade-long terms of incarceration for rioters, and I’m equally leery of suggesting that the Minnesota officers definitely should be “charged” because I haven’t seen enough evidence to know what, if any, criminal statutes they may have broken. Finally, on the kneeling, I don’t see that as terribly important after the absence of a pulse was identified. It’s the failure to obtain medical help at that point that likely will support a finding of depravity. The key (assuming Minnesota’s law is like the depravity law in NYS) is the act of leaving the victim to die.

I think that happened years ago.
