do me proud nyc jury pool
All I'm saying is that terrorists are a lot browner than this kid
This is anti-Italian discrimination
Critical support to the NY DA in intentionally sandbagging the prosecution to let the CEO slayer off
What does “sandbagging” mean in this context? I’ve never heard that before
Sand bagging is a term which refers to intentionally doing bad so your team loses. It’s often used in sports or games to describe intentionally losing
in martial arts it means intentionally keeping your belt ranking low so you can easily win competitions
Ah that makes sense. I wonder if the meaning is the same in other sports and I just wasn’t aware of the nuance
Does this mean he’ll be tried as an “enemy combatant” with no rights instead of a criminal?
Legally, no. But given the circumstances, who knows what they’ll try.
Okay lemme understand it.
“Terrorism” is defined as using violent means to scare or suppress the population.
But what he did made the population happy.
So… shouldn’t it be considered that he provided a public service?
That is not the definition of terrorism.
Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature
By that definition the entire federal government are terrorists lol
Yeah to be accurate the definition should probably spell out that this violent action comes from agents operating outside of a majority-backed monopoly on violence. Terrorist vs freedom fighter n all that.
Unfortunately implied by the “criminal” part of the definition
Violent, criminal acts
As the violence enacted by the state is supposedly supported by the laws they legislate, they get to skirt out of terrorism designation by being definitionally unable to commit “criminal” acts when they commit violent ones
Park rangers are terrorists for telling me not to share my picnic baskets with the bears
Arguing in court the legal distinction between a picnic basket and a pic-ee-nic basket
*commits second degree homicide
nyc: is this terrorism?
NYC couldn’t spot terrorism if it crashed straight into a buulding.
That’s why they needed the second one.
C-class is a protected suit now? Because I only feel financially terrorized by the healthcare industry. It is so systemic and prevalant people are afraid to go see a doctor over anything until it becomes catastrophic, and even then it’s “please for the love of all do not involve and ambulance”.
Americans are terrorized by the thought of the massive debt for just the ride to the hospitals and basic stabilization - more so than their disloged limbs and bleeding out from a car crash.
Personal medical piss off this last week -
Husband burnt himself on hot coffee at work going to his car to take his break. 2 2nd degree blisters. One about 4 inches. I pleaded with him to 1- tell his job for workmans comp or at least 2 - we have insurance go see urgent care and have a doctor look at it and get an opinions. He was afraid of the costs.
Then he was denied the HPV vaccine coverage while I’m on my 2nd of 3 doses and it’s fully covered and it’s a ridiculous $500 a dose that probably costs less than $10 to make. It’s basically a cancer vaccine. You’d think it’s cheaper than cancer treatment reguardless. Don’t know if it’s because he’s over the ‘recommended age’ by a couple years (like the vax magically stops working then) or if because . I’m going to have to call and find out WTF the was for.
They charged a white guy with terrorism? He’s gonna walk.
Terrorism is a weird way to say self defence
Really showing their cards on this one.
