    I wonder will he rope in Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands etc as states if DC ends up being a no go.
    All those territories lean heavily democrat so that could skew the numbers nicely.

    The biggest craic will be another bill going into Congress,that DC can become a 51st state IF it allows open carry and becomes a 2a sanctuary state!!!:D:D:D Its being proposed by some of the pro-gun congressmen.

    Guam ,not so sure,it might tip over and sink at any minute if there are too many people on it according to Congressman Hank Johnson [D]:rolleyes:

    Definition of a Liberal antigun conundrum.

    Only the police should have gun, as they are properly trained and competent to use them.

    The police are shooting black people and kids all the time!

    I'd give the cop a medal. He saved the girl in pink from getting stabbed.

    Completely justified police shooting i would say. Unfortunately the girl died from injuries sustained. But definitely a life saved by the officer too

    Yep, looks like a horrible scene to rock up to, but I don't see a less-lethal way round it, that was a fairly serious knife attack underway. One big difference at this case to Chauvin is how the police made a real attempt to provide medical assistance.

    There are echos to the tragic case in Ireland a few months ago.

    Should Floyd have died? Absolutely not. Was Chauvin at fault, yes, but not for 2nd degree murder. I don't believe there was intent let alone enough to be found guilty of all three counts (must look up how someone can be guilty of murdering the same person three times/ways).
    None of the charges involved intent to kill. That seems to be a massive misconception that people have - possibly based on our own legal definitions.

    The reason he can be guilt of multiple charges related to one crime is the legal concept of an "lesser included offense". Eg The larceny is less severe than robbery, but robbery by default includes lacerny.

    On a practical level, only the most severe offense stands. He'll be sentenced for murder 2.
    Cass wrote: »
    Both and 3rd degree murder. The first two counts must show intent (2nd degree murder and manslaughter) whereas 3rd degree murder does not require intent only the end "result" if i'm reading the verdict right.

    The charges were;
    • Unintentional 2nd Degree Murder (malicious actions without intent to kill)
    • 3rd Degree Murder (reckless discard for human life, no intent to kill)
    • 2nd Degree Involuntary Manslaughter (Reckless behaviour leading to death)

    3rd Degree murder is only used in a few states. Based on the definition this fitted the bill of disregard for life. He maintain the position long after he needed to, even though he was trained not to, and even after the other officiers called for medical attention.

    Some of those charges are somewhat hard to understand and require some knowledge of the US judicial system to make sense of... or not...

    3rd-degree manslaughter... EG Would be you go to a bridge on an overpass and lob a breeze block over it onto traffic without the intention of killing a particular person,just for the Hell of it,but hit and kill someone with it.

    2nd-degree mansalughter.You go and rob a shop with a gun, and the gun accidentally goes off killing the shop keeper.

    1st-degree manslaughter, you get into a fistfight and knock the other guy out cold,but because your blood was up you kerb stomp his head until his brains are coming out.

    Hence the "degree" terms in US law for seriousness of crimes

    So maybe you can sell the 2nd degree manslaughter charge by Chauvin kneeling on Floyd and not rendering proper assistance to allow him to breathe properly.But I cant see where 3rd degree comes into it.
    3rd Degree manslaughter wasn't one of the charges though.

    I agree it's a complicated system, further complicated by the fact that it's up to state law. Minnesota is one of the few with 3rd degree murder.
    As above, the manslaughter charge was labeled involuntary.

    Ah.

    Sky news said murder 2 and man. 2 had intent "built into" them. As said above that is where i got my definition from and why i said i could be wrong so thanks for clearing it up.

    On the murder 2 being malicious, but not having intent. Thats a fine line is it not? If you had malicious intent then surely that is the intent to do harm. Is it that intent to do harm stops short of being intent to kill under the definition of murder 2?

    Just looking up the various terms.

    I knew from watching tv cop shows (although not a great source for info) that manslaughter "in the second" (as they say) was murder without intent to kill so that one seemed odd at the time and judging by what you're saying is so. 1st degree Manslaughter o the other hand is death through an act of intent but not rising to the level of murder because of its "moment of impulse" factor/clause.

    Now second degree murder is listed as a killing that is not premeditated but is intentional.

    3rd degree murder has a lower standard than 2nd degree and you need not show intent merely that the actions of the person involved caused the death of a person.

    Yeah, it’s very confusing. Added to the fact that about 40 of 50 states don’t have murder 3. Murder 3 in a lot of places, would be a version of manslaughter.

    Murder 2 can be an intentional killing in a fit of rage (as opposed to aforethought).
    But can also be unintentional killing, but with deliberate malice.
    The latter not very different from voluntary manslaughter - where you intentionally act, but didn’t mean to kill.

    I’m curious about the sentencing. I wonder does the fact he was willing to plea stand to him.

    That, it being his first "offence", his service as a cop, etc. Some are saying he'll get max of 12 years if that.

    Of course there is the long process of appeals and they will come.

    I still maintain the trial was a disaster, fraught with problems of witnesses, judicial issues, pressure over the case, political input and interference, etc.

    It does,as it gives the court less of a workload on the case and allows your lawyer wriggle room to plea bargain your sentence time if you plead guilty to lesser charges.

    Lots of handwaving about warning shots, shooting in the leg, taser etc. The usual stuff that gets said in these situations by people who don’t understand how it works.

    Someone should compile the attacks on climate deniers (bona fide climate scientists who disagree with the prevailing narrative).

    Here's one from 2017 that's been forgotten - shots fired at the offices of two deniers

    https://www.al.com/news/huntsville/2017/04/shots_fired_at_office_building.html


    And the list of climate scientists who have been professionally boycotted/cancelled for refusing to toe the line is really something to see.

    Similar happened here in regards to Prof Ray Bates who was shouted down by one Eamon Ryan on Prime Time a few years back when he attempted to explain the obvious flaws behind the climate hysteria - sadly since then climate science has continued to be dragged threw the mud to the point that that the mainstream media now consider the likes of a random Swedish child with special needs more worthy of air time on the subject then people who actually know what they are talking about!!

    Very few are willing to sacrifice their career for the sake of science.

    The really good ones will.

    The facts will eventually come out, hopefully we won't have to wait as long as poor old Galileo.

    Everyone should see what they are doing to the historical temperature record - they have "adjusted" it to the point that the climategate emails have gotten what they wanted.

    I heard the other day that they have started to "adjust" the satellite temp data.

    How long can the farce continue until smart people look out their windows and wonder where the abnormal floods and fires are?

    Just because you have a "professor" or" Doctor" in front of your name doesn't mean you are qualified in the topic of climate change. I'm sure a few that signed the Extinction Rebellion manifesto Ireland in 2019 have worthy studies in the fields,but somehow I doubt being a professor in Jazz studies and modern dance,or gender studies is a relevant field to this topic?:P

    I remember as a nipper in school in the 70's and 80's, being told by the time of the millenium, that the global ice caps would be long gone and half of Ireland would be under water. Last time i checked, they were still there and thats over 2 decades ago. Anyway, most of the dirty work, manufacturing powered by coal plants etc is done in China and other asian countries now, they are not going to strangle their economies to keep a few middle class looney lefties and grotty thunberg happy.

    Poor bugger, but he seemed to me to be careless, by the time he seen the gun it was all over.

    Closer to home, Ruth Coppinger TD wants the garda who shot George Nkencho dead in Dublin, to stand trial because of the Floyd case in America. She must be looking in Envy at America at all the opportunities to wage class/race/whatever war :rolleyes:
