    Second Moderna yesterday. Arm was sore immediately after, but felt fine otherwise yesterday. Today I feel like shit.

    Lulz at books. Like his supporters read. It'll be tv's. Lots and lots of tv's, showing his perfect rallies on repeat. Edit to add: along with selling MAGA gear. All made in China.

    Second Moderna shot a couple hours ago. Feel fine other than my arm and shoulder are really sore, way worse than after the first shot. Hope that's not a sign I'll have bad side effects tomorrow.

    Bullshit. But here's a long list someone took the time to compile. And was the first hit on a google search if you were truly curious. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/11/trumps-lies-about-coronavirus/608647/

    What was the question?

    If you actually gave a damn about quality reporting, instead of just being an asshole you would shut up about this. After holding water for a president who spent years yelling "FAKE NEWS," even when there was video evidence it was real, and lying constantly, you have lost any and all credibility on the subject. You're commenting on journalistic integrity or Cuomo isn't going to lead anyone who hasn't drunk orange Kool-Aid to anything but knee jerk defense of what happened because of your blatant hypocrisy. If you actually gave a damn about journalistic integrity or sexual assault or protecting elderly nursing home patients, and given your other posts over the past year or so you plainly don't, you'd shut up and let the adults do the talking.

    Anecdotal, and I'm in NJ. But appointments have been hard to come by--need to constantly look, refresh computer, and book the second something opens. This week, the county opened up thousands of appointments.

    Probably not. He's probably a radical Islamic terrorist or MS-13 member or something. I doubt he was white given that the police shot and killed him.

    Discredit them with what exactly though? So far they tried to discredit them by asking if they were "angry," and that backfired with of course I was angry I watched your client murder a man. And these were just normal people on the street, who have no vested interest in this case, so it's not like they have biases to examine. And it's not even like there's problems with their memory of what happened to question them about, given that the entire thing was caught on video. If Chauvin was anyone but a cop, his attorney would have told him in no uncertain terms to enter a plea deal. Because the case is indefensible.

    It just reminds of nothing so much as the attorneys for police I saw in practice, who would make asinine arguments, and clearly expect them to be bought because their clients were upstanding officers of the law who we should all respect. I practiced civil defense for years. And the two most blatant plaintiff liars I ever saw were both cops. One just perjured himself for hours straight at his deposition. There were multiple defendants, and all the defense lawyers were gobsmacked the entire time at the blatant, constant perjury, even over dumb unimportant facts. And it was readily apparent neither the plaintiff nor his attorney realized what was going on and thought we bought the entire shit sandwich. This just enrages me. It's a clear shit sandwich of a case. And his lawyers are making some of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard. But he'll probably be acquitted because at least one member of the jury will gleefully eat shit sandwich.

    I don't understand the defense's theory with the cross of the clerk. If Floyd was so dangerous and also such a criminal, then how the hell was he so close to death he died of a Fentanyl overdose just minutes later?

    If he's not fucked, the police will deserve every ounce of shit that will be rained down on them. They need to stop defending this shitstain. Which is why the defense focusing on whether the witnesses were angry is fucking stupid. Because the jury has to be thinking that answer, even when the witnesses aren't vocalizing it.
  16. lemonlime
    yeah. The analogy doesn't even make sense. It's more like the crowd of 20 people yelling at you that you were trampling a baby in the fire, and you choosing to ignore it. The crowd wasn't telling Chauvin how to arrest people. It was telling him to stop killing a man.

    The defense questioning of these witnesses is terrible. I don't understand after listening to a witness describe how they stood there watching Chauvin kill a man, you would ask the witness if he/she was angry. It's clear the cops and their attorneys are so used to a criminal justice system that swallows whatever bullshit they spew out, they don't know how to actually respond to real questioning.

    I only watched a few minutes of it, and I'm biased, but I'm not sure how accusing a witness of becoming angry as he was watching his client murder someone is somehow helpful to the defense, even if true. My favorite question, though, is "Did you tell him (the officer--can't remember if it was Chauvin or the one who was watching) you hoped he killed himself"? Answer: No. I didn't use the word "hope." I said he would kill himself, because he wouldn't be able to live with what he had just done. Also, he is a "hostile witness." But being an asshole to a witness who watched your client choke a man to death is probably not a good way to earn credibility with the jury.

    Who the fuck cares either way. The basis for criminalizing behavior, here giving people water, can't just be that innocent people won't die if the criminalized activity doesn't take place. If you're passing a law criminalizing giving people water, you're on the wrong side of any issue. Be it voting or giving water to migrants. This isn't a close call or tough issue.

    LA has issues with overtime in general. Hell, a traffic officer made $234,000 in 2019. Seems odd to focus on life guards, as opposed to all the cops earning overtime. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/l-a-firefighters-police-officers-and-other-city-employees-received-nearly-500-million-in-overtime-pay-in-2019/

    It shouldn't. To quote Brisket from the DT thread, if you suffocate a dying hospice patient with a pillow, you're still going to be charged with murder. To the extent it should have any bearing on the case, I think it should be to show that Chauvin had intent to kill him. If Floyd was really in that level of distress, then putting his knee on his neck for nine minutes is even more obviously intended to kill. But, well cops. And a criminal justice system designed so that they avoid accountability.
  22. lemonlime
    Fair enough. it just seems so prejudicial. And the probative value should really be limited to something beneficial for the prosecution---if true Chauvin should have been putting Floyd in an ambulance, not choking him, and his intent to kill Floyd is even more obvious. But maybe I'm hung up on the fact that a theory that something else killed him than the knee on his neck for ten minutes is patently absurd.
  23. lemonlime
    I don't understand why this is even admissible, never mind the focus. Even assuming it's true, it doesn't matter what preexisting conditions the victim had if you put your knee on his neck for 10 minutes, whether it's drug abuse, stroke, etc. Doesn't that make it worse? He's not well because he's overdosing, and instead of calling for an ambulance, Chauvin put his knee on his neck for 10 minutes.

    So a sitting Senator, who is supposed to work for his neighbors, is more concerned with gunning them down in an emergency than with helping them out. And the GQP thinks this is normal.

    For fuck's sake, even on the West Wing, the president had a seating chart.
