Im amazed at how incompetent she is. Not only did she go to the wrong apartment but she didnt even look around, realize it, and give him medical attention after she shot him.

Maybe they bought their furniture at the same store.

You use the word incompetent when I think "callous" is more appropriate.

Way too short, she'll be out in 8 years probably

Should've been 30-40 years, she straight up murdered someone in his own home. People have gotten harsher sentences for smoking weed than she got!

That white female cop triple privilege paid off for her in the end, sadly.

Aww, why not just release it outside? Nope, gotta kill it.

This is a ridiculous overreach and will never stand up in court when someone's actually hit by it and says their first amendment rights have been violated.

This will be great fodder for some broad brush painting Republicans to use for years to come.

I guess passing stupid fucking laws that will never remain on the books and make you a laughing stock is bipartisan. In related news...a judge struck down Georgia's stupid abortion law today. :p

Let's see what her sentence is.

This. According to the almighty google, a first degree murder conviction in the state of Texas is punishable by 5-99 years.

If she gets the 5 it will be a slap in the face to the family.

That judge aint playing, though.

More like the jury! So proud of that jury!
Took less than a day to deliberate on it, asked exactly what the difference was between murder and manslaughter, and were like, "that bitch is a murderer"

:)

I do expect she'll get a lenient sentence though, she is a white female cop.... Who decides, judge or jury? If judge, I'm guessing 5-15 years. If the jury, 10-30 years.

He got into a fight before shooting Trayvon, sure.
How it reached that point no one knows. He claims Trayvon confronted him (which....would still legit be standing his ground considering George was armed and stalking him), and...he killed the only other person who was there that could dispute his claim.
Just cause he was losing the fist fight doesn't mean he didn't start it.

I agree but that's one of the shitty aspects of the one other guy that saw how it started being dead

Yeah...its almost as if....laws that don't mandate someone retreat if they are able to, aside from defending their homes/property, and allow them to just open fire if they feel threatened at all...are bad.

Same reason it didn't apply to Trayvon Martin when he was the unarmed teen being stalked by the creepy armed dude and tried to "stand his ground" -->
Whoever has the gun / shoots the other person first is automatically morally in the right and only s/he gets to drape himself/herself in the aegis of SYG.
Also, being black means you're less likely to be seen as standing your ground as opposed to "the scary thing for others to stand their ground against."

But yeah, in a sane world, it would be Jean who was justifiably defending himself and his home, and Amber shot the dude who she had provoked/attacked first, and no self defense would apply to her.

Not saying George Zimmerman isnt a stupid piece of shit that should've gotten prison time but that case was quite a bit different from this one considering he did in fact have wounds to his face from being beaten and, if I recall correctly, it ended being found by a jury to be self defense and not SYG in the end. I could be remembering wrong though

So the defense is saying she walked in his house and he jumped up and rushed this woman immediately and by the power of magic she was able to react and shoot him before he got near her?

Nah, they're not dumb enough to even claim that much, since forensics has the path of the bullet traveling in a downward trajectory. So either he was still seated (or JUST GETTING UP from it) or even worse...was on his knees pleading for his life or such.

She doesn't need to claim he actually lunged at her through the magic of SYG laws. Just that it looked like he was about to.

Jean acted unreasonably by attacking Guyger for a simple mistake

Weird that they say he acted unreasonable because he was possibly defending himself after someone else broke in. But she can use the SYG law to just killed him after breaking into his house. This all just seems really fucked up, tbh...

Yeah, fuck that ass hole for even implying Jean did something wrong.

And why are people just taking her word for it that he was going to attack her (would've been ACTUAL self defense if he did, but ignoring that for a moment...)?

Oh right....b/c she says so, and the only other witness is dead and can't refute her claim. Yay! Stand Your Ground laws!

Stand your ground laws can literally be argued "if you felt threatened, even if you weren't actually threatened, you can defend yourself with lethal force"

Is it just me, or am I seeing a legal loophole for sanctioned hate-crime related killing there?

Oh, it's pretty blatant.

The SYG laws are more likely in court to help a white person killing a black person than vice-versa.

They really shouldn't exist for the most part. This basically gives her the defense that, yesshe was in the wrong apartment, but she was also within her rights to murder the tenant because she felt scared he existed.

Doesnt there at least have to be some kind of threat of violence though?

Well, the dude was sitting eating ice cream when she broke in, so he might've done something threatening, like begin to stand up. better open fire to be safe!

Muscles posted...

How can you stand your ground when you were the one breaking and entering?

Because SYG laws = "murder all the witnesses"

If no one else present to witness your shooting is left alive to testify, you get to define the narrative of what happened before the shooting! Yay!

You can support the right for citizens to own guns and still be against them owning assault weapons, automatic and semi-auto guns, high capacity magazines, silencers, flamethrowers, and other crazy bull shit that isn't necessary for self-defense but really great if your goal is to gun down a lot of innocent people.
Support for legal ownership of guns also doesn't mandate that you also support ex-felons, people with serious mental health issues, people w/ domestic violence charges and/or restraining orders, and other dangerous types from being able to buy them, whether unconditionally or through loop holes that avoid the background checks to keep guns from their hands, such as at gun shows.

Antivaxxers. They're legitimately hurting their kids and spreading false information based on fake research and lies.

Climate Change Deniers just have different opinions. I don't agree with them, but they're not really hurting anyone.

They prevent action from being taken to reduce the impact of our carbon emissions and will hasten the greenhouse effect from causing permanent irreparable harm to our ecosystem.

So yeah, they DO fucking hurt everyone.

Anti-vaxxers suck too, but are a much smaller less influential group, and won't cause nearly as much long term harm. Plus their bs can be easier dealt with than climate change deniers, just by passing laws like not allowing non-vaccinated kids into public schools.
Dealing with climate change requires much larger, more sweeping political action.

I think it depends on how you cook it in the oven? Slightly higher/lower temp, how long it cooks, probably what height rack in the oven you use...

His chances of being impeached are basically 100% now.

Equally, his chance of being convicted are probably close to 0%. There's been rumblings that the GOP in the Senate might actually find their moral compass and vote to convict if it gets bad enough, but I'll believe hell freezing over first.

So basically, it's the same thing everyone has predicted all along.

I think the complete opposite. Actually... I know so.

He will NOT be impeached. GOP is too corrupt to impeach him.

BUT... the DA of NY is foaming at the mouth to get their hands on Trump.

Where it stands now... the best case scenario for Trump is to get re-elected. If so, and the senate stays in GOP control, he would have effectively gotten away with his crimes due to the SOL. Any deviation to what I just described is a problem for Trump. Especially if he doesnt get re-elected.

As of today, Giuliani has a significantly high chance of getting arrested. And *MAYBE* even Barr.

I think it's BS that the 5 year statute of limitations I keep seeing would have its "clock" continue to "tick" while he's president of the U.S. and effectively impossible to try in court.
This particular instance has never been tested in court (b/c...how crazy is it to have a criminal in the White House, using his job status to shield him from legal consequences?), but in similar situations where a criminal evaded detection/apprehension during the SOL phase, judges have ruled that time effectively "suspended" the "clock." I would hope the same would apply to Trump, though if it took till after his 2nd term to prosecute him, he wouldn't go to jail until like 90 years old, so it'd still be a hollow victory for the rule of law...

Red Baron, I guess. The major brands mostly have topping combos I don't like, and have to just go w/ cheese (or 4 cheese, etc...)

A few grocery stores have periodically had a Goat Cheese, Spinach, and Tomato pizza which I like a lot.

There was a huge sale on them recently at my store so I was going to buy one.
But I checked the nutrition facts (as I do w/ any frozen pizza), and...the amount of saturated fat made my eyes nearly pop out in shock! Something like 65% saturated fat per serving for like a 12" pizza which in reality is 2-3 servings.
Hard pass.

65%? What flavor were you looking at? I looked at every one online and the highest I saw was 50...which isn't that much more than Red Baron's 48 and that's partially due to the smaller portions

Hmm, maybe it wasn't quite that bad.

https://www.freschetta.com/products/naturally-rising/naturally-rising-4-cheese.htm
36% for 1/5 of the pizza, so effectively 90% for us (half a pizza each)

https://www.freschetta.com/products/brick-oven/brick-oven-5-cheese.htm
40% for 1/4 of the pizza, so it'd effectively had been 80% for us

That's still pretty damn bad, nearly the full recommended daily allowance in one shot.

The pizzas are 26 and 20 oz., respectively. Compared to the Red Baron pizza we usually get, which I had already been concerned was pretty damn high in saturated fat:
https://www.redbaron.com/products/multi-brick-oven/multi-brick-oven-cheese-trio.htm
32% for 1/4 of the pizza, so effectively 64% for us. Admittedly, it is only 17.8 oz., so a bit less than the four cheese Freschetta. But pretty close....

In fact this whole thing is just increasing Trumps #'s and is going to just infuriate even more people to make sure to get out and vote for him. If anything it's handing him 2020 on a silver platter. Why do you think Nancy wanted to stay away from it? She knew what it would do. But she knows the Dem field of candidates are so weak they wouldn't win anyways. So now she has nothing left but try some last ditch hail mary that isn't going to work.

Do you really believe any of this? His ratings are completely tanked and were even before this happened.

Yeah, Trumpers are something else.

Fact: The Biden issue is years ago and has already been looked into. No wrong doing and definitely no evidence of it. And by the way, FUCK BIDEN. Im not with that centrist dem shit.

Fact: Trumps numbers arent going up. Theyre exactly where Nixons were after a year of impeachment proceedings. Meaning that Trumps will be in the single digits by this same time next year. Clintons actually went up during his impeachment but its because the economy was booming and he didnt constantly talk about the impeachment. You think Trump can play it as cool as Clinton? Hes already throwing tantrums.

But yeah, to your point, Jen... these Trumpers live in their own reality. They just parrot BS they hear from Fox News, Mark Dice, Rush Limbaugh, etc. Its quite sad really. My youngest brother, the one brother that isnt working a white collar job, is a Trump fan. And no matter how bad you corner him hell whatsboutism all motherfucking day.

Completely disagree with you on the bolded part. Trump supporters in particular will never abandon their new Jesus, with at most like 20% seeing reason.
But while Trumpers are an especially resilient stock of blind loyalists, this isn't new. The George W. Bush years taught me that there was a 30% or so portion of this country that will NEVER turn against any Republican president, no matter what. Even at the lowest point, when it became clear GWB fabricated the reasons to invade Iraq and was defending the use of torture as "enhanced interrogation," even when the Reagonomics he pushed his whole term lead to the Great Recession... his approval rating never dropped below 30%. If anything, Trump's got even more blind loyalty than him so I doubt he goes below 35%.

You betray your own assertion at the end in fact, acknowledging you know a Trump sheep in real life and that he'll never be swayed.

Also, I'd like to think Clinton's numbers went up partly b/c the investigation was fucking stupid to begin with, for the non-crime of cheating on his wife (scummy, but not illegal).

Ok. So like...even if she had been found to have classified work emails on her private server that were classified at the time she put them there, the precedent up to that point was no one had ever gone to prison for such a crime so it was unlikely she would have anyway.

But let's say it was a possibility. How exactly would Trump's Justice Dept. have managed to prove her guilt, keeping in mind that it would've had to be proven to be intentionally done as well?
He had the chance to do it, and tried. His own team realized there was no case and dropped it.

I do think there should be stricter laws and enforcement of that stuff going forward, sure. But they had nothing to try her on. I don't like her, either, and didn't vote for her (Gary Johnson for me). But face facts for once.

Bitch straight up murdered a guy in his own home, immediately opening fire on him.

Then texted the dude she was having an affair with in the dept. about how she fucked up and was worried what would happen...to her.
Among other texts that we'll never see b/c she was able to go and delete them from her phone.

The entire while, the Texas police protecting her and giving her special treatment they wouldn't give a civilian murder suspect.

She should go to jail for a long time, but she's got white, pussy, and cop privilege, a golden trifecta of "above the law," so she's either getting away with it completely, or will serve 2 years at most.

Mitch won't let him be impeached.
Only way this all catches up to Trump is if Dems win in 2020 and kick him out of office.

But even when that happens, suddenly Republicans will start crying about, "let's not make the transition of power all like...political and stuff" and accuse Dems of wanting to "jail their political opponents" (which will be especially rich considering Trump was urging for Hillary to be locked up his whole campaign in 2016, when no crime was found to have happened)

And Democrats are spineless cowards and will probably fall for it and let Trump off scot free.

Yes, and until this year (2019, filing for 2018 income) it was free.

This year, TurboTax instituted some bs hidden rule that if you made over $1500 in bank interest, you need the paid version. I know it's a new rule, b/c I made about the same bank interest the prior year (~ $2000 both years) and didn't run into that bs.
To add insult to injury, not only was the federal tax filing no longer free, but they offered free state filing...but it didn't come w/ the paid version...that's an additional $20-$30!
My friend happened to have a physical disc of TurboTax (apparently they still exist) that he ended up not using, so he gave it to me, and then I re-did all the info through my state's website to get free state returns.

No idea what I'll do next year. It's fucking bs that just b/c the four digit number I enter is slightly larger than the arbitrary four digit number limit they chose, I need to fork over $80. Really complicates things for Intuit, I guess.
