    If the attempt to take the gun from you failed, no

    As someone who enjoys the admittedly largely mediocre and repetitive books, that looks fucking terrible.

    That’s been my gun policy proposal for years. Own whatever the fuck you want but if a crime is committed with your gun and you either entrusted it to the perpetrator or failed to reasonably secure it, you’re criminally and civilly responsible as if you were the perpetrator.

    Someone’s holding of a firearm can both be legal and also cause someone to reasonably believe that force is immediately necessary to protect against the armed person’s use or attempted use of unlawful force. Pulling out a gun in the middle of a verbal altercation is about 2500x more immediately threatening than having your gun unsuccessfully taken away from you.

    So I don’t have a right to exercise non-lethal self defense by attempting to disarm someone threatening me with a firearm?
  6. DanRydell
    So your argument is that attempting to brandish a firearm justifies lethal force but actually brandishing a firearm does not justify non-lethal force?
  7. DanRydell
    If the mere holding of a gun justifies lethal force, then the shooter was by definition the aggressor in this instance and thus has no right to self defense.

    Not if he’s not even charged

    The music and the looks and the settings are great and Leto gives the best comedic performance of the year. I can’t tell if this movie was supposed to be funny but it’s definitely better if you assume they’re in on the joke. If it’s supposed to be The Godfather in 80s/90s fashion, then it was a big miss.

    I think reasonable people could disagree about whether this was murder under the Texas statute but I simply don’t understand anyone who thinks this shouldn’t be murder.

    The movie doesn’t really address it but the three older sisters aren’t Richard’s. They were from the mom’s prior marriage (she was widowed). Richard also has 6-7 other biological children.

    Westgate was just a regular (but relatively small) indoor mall. There was a movie theater (8 screens IIRC), Bookstop, Bealls, Service Merchandise, Solo Serve, a pizza place, an arcade, and a couple of other stores. The Strait Music across Ben White was also a four screen movie theater. Other than Riverside, those two were the only first-run theaters on the south side for most the 90s after the closing of the Barton Creek Mall theater (now Abuelo’s) and until the opening of the Barton Creek Cinema (now condos).

    In this day and age? When exactly do you think the criminal justice system better guaranteed a fair trial than the present?

    Even accepting your read or intent as true, do you have a case cite for your assertion that a non state actor attempting to intimidate a jury entitles a defendant to a mistrial with prejudice?

    Seems really unlikely that John Mayer would get involved with someone who won’t have sex with him so I doubt she was still a virgin.

    Had it’s problems but it was not even remotely the worst Marvel movie. Hell, it’s not even the worst Marvel movie of 2021.

    Fifth Circuit opinions are basically a Dan Bongino Facebook comment section at this point.

    My girlfriend is chair of her high school English department. In order to comply with Abbott’s pornography hunt, three teachers have to read each book so the district is actually having to buy additional copies of each book so the three teachers can each have one to read. So congrats to the publishers and authors I guess.

    There’s probably more potential for confusion with Austin College and (Stephen F.) Austin State University than UT-Austin.

    I don’t think you know how bonds work. The whole point of bonds is that they’re an additional tax so that the spending doesn’t come out of the general fund.

    I think he probably wasn’t allowed to.

    Shan seemed really promising for a while but what a shitshow her last two weeks have been, between freaking out at Ricard over her extra vote, spilling the beans about Liana’s advantage to Tiffany thereby rendering it useless, and then for some reason telling Tiffany at tribal to vote for Sydney so Xander’s idol didn’t get flushed.

    Agree to disagree

    Faith on the season before Melissa

    Turns out Bettina was pregnant during filming, which somehow makes it four straight seasons where production somehow failed to catch that one of the women was pregnant during filming.
