I did a quick check the other day into applicable laws (federal and district) regarding murder, manslaughter, and D.C.ās laws regarding self-defense. And thereās virtually no angle for a prosecutor to come at this case that would lead to anything but either an acquittal or mistrial in a criminal court.
The applicable federal law would require a prosecutor to show that Lt. Byrd not only knew his actions were wrong, but also show that he had willful intent (i.e. he wanted her dead). And they couldnāt just point to her being dead to get there, theyād have to show beyond reasonable doubt that he knew she was unarmed and took the shot with the willful intent to kill her.
Aside from that, D.C. laws on murder and manslaughter are pretty much preempted by its laws regarding self-defense, which state that so long as his intent was to protect others in the building from death or severe bodily harm then he was acting in self-defense. Despite what one guy I spoke with on the subject said, he had no duty to retreat from that barricade the moment it was breached.

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) released final reports from a task force he formed to investigate the āindoctrinationā of children in state public schools. The problem is, many of the issues Robinson claims heās heard about endlessly werenāt in the report.
Robinson specifically used a trans-inclusive book as an example in his report that teachers have been supposedly āabusingā children with. When a Democrat [sic] state representative questioned him about the report and said it seemed to be āFox News-driven,ā Robinson got so offended that he walked out the room.
Robinson is known for his anti-LGBTQ posts on Facebook. He has previously proclaimed that being gay is a step before pedophilia, that Michelle Obama is secretly a trans woman, and referred to trans-affirming people as ādevil worshipping child molesters.ā He also condemned gay people as an āabominable sinā in response to the 2016 Pulse massacre.
Robinsonās task force, the āIndoctrination in North Carolina Public Education Report,ā took information reported by concerned parents and concluded that 13 specific concepts should not be āpromotedā in schools. Robinson joined state Republicans as they held a Senate Education Committee meeting with public comment and media present to unveil the report.

re: #13 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
NYT: How Government Decisions Left Tennessee Exposed to Deadly Flooding
If all you read is the headline youād think it was that satanic gubmint who are killing Tennesseans.
But if one reads the article:
The headline **ought** to be: āLocals who willfully spurned government officials now paying the price in floodsā.
But no, that would have been too direct to the point and put the blame where it rightly belongs.
When I was on my village board, the offer was made to my village to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program, due to the North Platte River. The only actual piece of the village limit within the flood zone is the sewage lagoon, which is already insured.
Parts of municipalities cannot be in the insurance program; all of our town would have to be (and the rest is not subject to flooding).
Itās a bit more complicated than āno building codes.ā My village has building codes.
It also requires flood insurance on all real property on existing lines of credit as well as future lines.
Finally you have to have code enforcement which meets federal standards (such as a permanent staff of code enforcers).
When the program is underfunded, it does not pay claims. That wasnāt a problem until Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina, which depleted the trust for the NFIP. Claims against the insurance had reached $25billion in unpaid claims by 2017, when Congress put $16billion in the fund to pay off some claims. As of now, the debt is nearly $21billion in unpaid claims.
FEMA defines a floodplain as an area which has a 1% chance per year of a base flood. Thus in common usage, a base flood is a 100-year flood.
The program permits modifications to bridges, levees, culverts, and such within the base flood area, but not any other public or private structure (such as a road).
The program is rather complicated in all the compliance regulations.
According to FEMA, a survey of our village indicated our sewage lagoon is within the base flood area. The rest of the village is over a mile from the North Platte River and about sixty feet above the river on the sideslope of the Sandhills. If flood waters got this far and this high, we have bigger problems than a 100-year flood.
āBuilding codesā in this context refers to the following:
a) Restricting development (whether the particular area within a municipality is subject to floods or not)
b) It is criticised for driving people least able to afford flood damage (the poor) into the base flood area, since obtaining mandatory flood insurance is only required for securing a mortgage. Thus wealthy developers who donāt need mortgages build their low income housing in those areas. If the area floods, the owner gets disaster aid and the renters get little other than emergency relief. This is a form of adverse selection, actually increasing density in urban flood plain areas.
c) USGS has noted many of the original flood plain maps drawn up when the programme was conceived are now out of date due to urban growth. Areas which were undeveloped or lightly developed are now paved over, creating man-made rivers which channel water into other areas, and areas which do not allow water to sink into the ground. To correct those out-of-date maps, municipalities have to do their own surveys at their own expense, then submit the surveys to FEMA to update their flood maps. (The alternative would be another nationwide survey, costing metric fuquetonnes of money and taking years.)
d) President Obama issued an executive order to survey areas at the federal governmentās expense in areas likely to be affected by sea level rise, which was not part of either the original survey or flood insurance programme. That order was revoked by President Trump and those surveys have stopped.

RT English/French/German/Spanish/whateverās job is to stir shit up in the target countries however they can, to weaken the West. Because whatās bad for the West is good for Russia: thatās the depth of thought involved. They will try to hook in new users with targeted clickbait, and get them on the program. So, now itās time to stir up xenophobia against generic Muslims in Western countries.
RT has been fined several times by UK Ofcom (the regulator), to great hysterics about Western hypocrisy and censorship. While Russia is killing off all remains of independent journalism and throwing journalists in prison, but anyways.
This isnāt without its domestic problems. The Russian government, and therefore the Russian mass media, have been extremely pro-vax domestically, but anti-vax internationally to hurt the West. However, Russians can certainly get to foreign reporting one way or another, and the anti-vax foreign propaganda has blown back and exacerbated the existing paranoid/purity/home remedy tendencies of the Russian population, worsening the massive anti-vax crisis at home.
They sometimes canāt read the room, either. Last week RT started making fun of Americans eating horse dewormer for COVID, which I guess they forgot is their target audience in the US. So much cursing and vows never to read it again.
The Russian government considers RT and other state media to be weapons against their enemies. They assume the same thing for foreign media, which is partly why theyāre hysterical about āforeign agents.ā They have literally said that they wouldnāt allow foreign tanks to roll into Russia, so why foreign media?

The Nebraska Sandhills Tropical Weather Update
Disturbance 1: A tropical wave 650 miles east of Bermuda has a 60% chance of developing into a tropical depression in the next five days. The system is currently moving east toward Europe and North Africa, but is a long way away.
Disturbance 2: A tropical wave midway between the Cabo Verde Islands and the Lesser Antillies has an 80% chance of developing into a tropical depression in the next five days. It is expected to turn north before reaching the islands.
Tropical Storm Ida: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Cayman Islands, which the storm has just passed over. A warning is also in effect for the western provinces of Cuba as well as the Isle of Youth.
A hurricane watch extends from the Texas/Louisiana border to Mobile Bay, Ala., including the inland lakes near the coast of Louisiana. A tropical storm watch extends to the Florida border from there. A storm surge watch is in place from the Texas/Louisiana border to the Alabama/Florida border.
The experimental peak storm surge map shows dangerous heights of storm surge along a lengthy portion of the northern Gulf Coast. The damage will be worse if the storm arrives near high tide.
From Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge to Morgan City including Vermilion Bay: 4-7 feet
From Morgan City to Ocean Springs, Mississippi: 7-11 feet
From Ocean Springs to the state line with Alabama: 4-7 feet
The entire coast of Alabama including Mobile Bay: 3-5 feet
Lake Pontchartrain: 3-5 feet
Lake Maurepas: 2-4 feet
Ida is expected to be a major hurricane before making landfall in Louisiana in the afternoon on Sunday. If you live in Louisiana or areas adjacent to the watch areas, now is the time to rush your hurricane plans to completion, and evacuate before the roads become clogged if you are able. Police will likely be unable to assist you during the height of the storm, especially during high storm surges. Afterward, roads and bridges may be washed out.
If you are planning to stay in a hurricane shelter, you should consider the possible crowding which would interfere with keeping safe from Covid-19 and have a strategy for that.
After Ida makes landfall, the hurricane is expected to press rapidly inland into central and northern Mississippi as it weakens, then into central Tennessee as a tropical depression.

Iāve seen that time and again in fanatic/fundamentalist circles. Their belief that something is a certain way is so strong, that they have little to no inhibitions left to resist the temptation to, instead of citing real evidence, making up evidence themselves.
Their reasoning is that āeveryone knows that {$outgroup} is guilty of {$conspiracy}, the evidence is there, Iām just ācopyingā it.ā or something along those lines of thinking.
Except that doing so is deeply immoral, even when your target is guilty, and much more so if the target is innocent.
Itās a textbook example of how a delusion or psychosis can affect your value systems to such as extent as to rendering them ineffective.

Employing a variant of the Prosecutorās Fallacy: The idea that the importance of a match in evidence (especially DNA) is inflated over its actual importance.
In the case of your wingnut in the wild (Big Pharma makes more money on long-term treatments than prevention), the CT implies that āBig Pharmaā is then driven to drive people to long-term treatments over cures or vaccines (a common anti-medical position for virtually every chronic diseaseāIāve heard it over my epilepsy meds before).
It also assumes that the importance of selling expensive cures outweighs less expensive vaccines. For that to work, you have to have enough people get sick and not die to use the expensive cure. If all your potential customers die, you didnāt sell them either one.

Poor children deserve the fate of humiliation and mockery.
When I went to school in rural Michigan, we used lunch tickets punched for the week. White tickets for full price, yellow tickets for reduced price, and blue tickets for free.
Everyone in line could see my blue ticket, and every day I went to lunch was harassment over being poor.
That is by design from conservatives.
A school lunch programme where they just feed everyone eliminates both the shaming of the poor, and the cost of administering a mean-test programme (but wasting money is what conservatives do, and to them itās not a waste because they are enforcing a hierarchy where undeserving poor kids are humiliated; see also Newt Gingrichās idea of making poor kids work in the cafeteria to earn their keep).

Vaccinations pretty much prevent all of that, or greatly reduce the chances youāll develop a debilitating case of covid. It limits sick time and the economic harms of coming down with covid, spreading it to family/friends, etc.

re: #270 A hollow voice says NOW drain that swamp!
If youāve been paying attention, you know that other studies show the opposite.
And, as noted, even if true, the fact that current vaccines protect you from current variants is why you should take them.
Other studies show that if you have had Covid, you can increase your protection by getting vaccinated.
re: #282 No Malarkey!

Yep, the study they did at Danderyd Hospital pointed in that direction. And other research has shown that disease + 2 jabs is comparable to 2 jabs + booster, and since the disease is as risky as it is, 2 jabs + booster wins hands downā¦

āExhaustion,ā āfrustrationā: Why some vaccinated people are losing motivation to stay safe
āIf other people arenāt going to put in the effort to end this pandemic, why am I putting my needs ofā¦ a good mental state (aside)ā¦ for others who just clearly donāt care,ā Sowa adds.
Dr. David Rakofsky, a licensed clinical psychologist and president of Wellington Counseling Group, says he is seeing a wave of patients experiencing this attitude shift.
Several factors are driving the shift, he says, including vaccine overconfidence, responsibility fatigue and decision fatigue.
āEven I felt a sense of invincibility once I got the jab,ā Rakofsky admits, but adds the vaccine can only do āwhat itās supposed to do.ā āItās keeping us from the hospital, itās keeping us from dying.ā
He also sees a shift from believing individual factors create the outcome to believing the outcome is a result of external factors beyond their control.
āThe feeling maybe for these young people (is) that this may be as far as we all get, and Iāve done what I can do. Now I roll the dice and the rest is outside of my direct influence,ā he explains.
The frustration also has been illustrated as a group project, where everyone has to participate to get a good grade (have the pandemic end). But, if part of the group isnāt participating (the unvaccinated), the others (vaccinated) start to see their efforts as pointless.
āThatās all part of the same phenomenonā¦ These were the things that were internal to my control that I was going to doā¦ We were good soldiers, and now weāre left with a battalion of people that arenāt going to fight,ā Rakofsky explains.
Sowa says it feels like āwe had like hope dangling in front of us and now itās being fully taken away,ā making the year and a half of her safety efforts feel āpointless.ā
āIāve gotten the shotā¦ Iāve been doing my part to end this pandemic, and I wasnāt supported by everyone else so whatās the point at this point?ā she says, adding that she now only wears a mask where required and is less worried about big crowds.
Rakofsky explains this feeling of hopelessness can lead to mental health issues.
āWhen someone is given a task that they can achieve and despite their efforts, despite doing the things theyāre supposed to, they do not achieve, a learned helplessness is what sets in, and thatās part of a kind of depression that can linger.ā
So apparently, weāre reaching the point of āfuck it, we canāt beat the crazy people so weāre just going to join themā?

I think your chicken pox preceded the vaccine. I donāt know about the measles. Immune systems are built more reliably with vaccines, but there was an error for a year or two in the measles vaccine.
re: #306 Dr Lizardo

I had a mild case the first time then a worse case a year or so later.
And I have had several outbreaks of shingles, which is the adult form
Did not get it this summer as it was actually mild and rainy, but the past three summers I had outbreaks prompted by the heat waves when I simply could not sleep properly for weeks on end.
So far as I can tell, ISIS probably is an enemy of the Taliban. A civil war enemy. So the irony here is that they and our military/intel guys probably will find a way to cooperate on attacking those guys.

Never knew I needed one. I was vaccinated against measles before I started school. At that time though, there was no chickenpox vaccine (this was in the early to mid 1970s).
The protocol on the shingles shot was to wait until the patient is 60 years old, unless they get shingles before that, like I did. Iām an overachiever. I donāt know whether that has changed. I think the overachiever part has.

they didnt ask much medical history (urgent care)
i didnāt ask what was in the vial

howwzat work?
the needle was so small i didnt feel it at all. i give blood regularly, i know what a needle is.
i mentioned to the nurse i didnt believe there were say 15 million american men anti-vax because they were afraid of a needle like that
