That author is from Visual Capitalist, not Zero Hedge, as I have explained about a billion times they are mostly an aggregator, and Visual Capitalist is well respected. So is Zero Hedge, except to choads like you who shit their pants and cry every time some one links them and you want to distract from the contents of said link. Marcus lu wrote "Yet, as Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu details below, when searching for facts, our own cognitive biases often get in the way." It seems like one blogger discussing a blog written by a another blogger. And then they added Visual Capitalist branding to the predictit.org infographic, and then had tons of other blogs, like zerohedge, post the same stuff with back links. These sites all have the same mo: clickbait headlines, low quality unoriginal content with little regard for the truth and tons of seo manipulation. Don't be duped. |

What you're suggesting is that we should decriminalize criminal negligence based on who the victim is or what they were doing.
Think about that for a bit. Look up the word negligent if you need to. Yes, that is literally the existing criminal and to a lesser extent civil law on negligence. No it's not. If someone dies due to your recklessness, it doesn't matter if they were also being reckless. If the outcome was you dead and they survived, they'd be the one getting charged.\ I'd be okay with a court assigning 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 fault for negligence to each of the parties involved. The two that were struck and the driver. That might be the case if there were civil action. So more victims = less fault. And victims can be charged with manslaughter of themselves. (Doesn't make sense) |

Weird, I thought when people objected to federal government overreach via the local school systems, that made them Republicans unwilling to fund education. At least I remember some one saying that... I forget who. How could you be against funding education!?
I'm sorry your school failed to teach you English. Please try again with more focus on what you actually want to say and less drama, maybe that'll make it more comprehensible. Tecshare is pretty smart and articulate, it's just the TDS that makes him seem like a retard unless you are a level 3 (life pledge) or higher MagaBoi. |

Doubt by the time Novemeber comes around Texas is still blue. People right now only really care about the Coronavirus and they're not thinking of much else, that'll tighten come election time.
Right, but for a Republican to have any shot at the Presidency, you need to win Texas by at least 10. A smaller margin than that and you can pretty much extrapolate the voter turn out to other states and conclude there isn't enough to get the plurality in places like Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, ect. Trump won Texas by about ~9 in 2016 and that race was about as close as it gets looking at states like Florida, Michigan, and Wisconsin where Trump barely won. TO state the obvious, "Winning Texas by less than 10" is not the same as "Texas turning blue." Yes but look beyond this election cycle. ... look beyond this latest set of lying liars' "polls"? He means after the election.  |

Pinning Floyd's head to the ground (via pressure on his neck) may seem excessive[...]
Pinning his head to the ground can be rationally defended, it's what he did afterwards that is the problem. For almost 7 minutes of Flloyd begging for his life followed by 3 minutes while he appeared unconscious or dead he kept his knee on his neck. If they were alone together and struggling for a weapon a few feet away (like in the movies) or something, that would be different...but he knew Flloyd wasn't armed and he had his partner helping him with Flloyd while 2 more cops watched their back. But here, it certainly is odd that no news media has mentioned that the George Floyd events occurred in the Congressional district of the very anti-American Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Whoever is telling you this is lying. It's been mentioned plenty of times all over the place. |

Our provably fair method has been updated to now prove the probabilities of bomb/coin placement. Give it a try. Would love to hear any thoughts. The player seed keeps getting replaced by a random string when the round begins. I think there's a bug that happens sometimes when clicking the check mark box is clicked and changes to the generate new box. Sometimes it just replaces my seed with a new random seed. When this doesn't happen and my key persists in the form, a random seed is still revealed after the round instead of my own.Actually I didn't realize it's not the player seed being re displayed, it's the previous hashed server seed. So just the first issue about the button on the player seed form is a problem. The explanation is really good but many won't bother read I think it really needs some sort of visual for the player to understand the risk and reward offered for each option before deciding. The provably fair explanation is great but I don't think it's the best place for the odds of the game, it needs to be more visible. Probably deserves it's own button or just put it right on the 'table' like bonus odds for a casino table game. For the bonus round maybe have them drop down from above on that panel. Just my opinion. |

I'm sure there will be plenty of avenues for this guys defense to consider, and maybe it really was an honest mistake. All of my recent responses have simply been in response to the 'he was just driving down the highway, he can only be guilty of a traffic violation, the protesters were wrong first so that makes him less wrong' argument coming from tecshare and spendulus.
What this situation boils down to is that if some people purposefully create chaos on the street, to the extent it occurred here, people are going to get hurt. That's part of the calculus of the puppet masters creating the chaos. If you really want to look at the driver, you're really just one of the puppets. What you're suggesting is that we should decriminalize criminal negligence based on who the victim is or what they were doing. Think about that for a bit. Look up the word negligent if you need to. |

TECSHARE, did you read about how the actual bombing charges were dropped by the federal prosecutors? It's been linked a cited to you several times now from the NYTimes article. You're citing the NYTimes, so I'm just wondering...do you not understand or are you doing the whole willful ignorance thing again.
Nobody is saying she's innocent by the way. Do you understand the difference?\
And topic sliding...really? We're only discussing this because you brought it up - and I only mentioned Flynn because Spendulus brought him up. Would you prefer to be ignored? Of course not.

Has the WSP authority to completely close any highway in Washington state anytime they want?
Yes. The state police in every state (that I know of at least) are in charge of major highways. I guess the governor could step in and force them to ask permission before shutting down a highway - but I doubt that was the case.

Interesting you never used the phrase "Plea Bargain" there, right? Because that's what both Rosenberg, and Flynn did, isn't it? "Plea Bargain" means do and say what the prosecutors tell you to do and say, and it does not matter if it's a pack of lies.
You think it's a shitty system and you're definitely not alone. I'm just explaining what it means to be convicted of a crime in America, not saying it's the right or wrong way. |

"This is convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg" = ok, I have no problems with this part; she was part of a terrorist organization, she was convicted of a pretty serious crime, and that is her.
"she sits on the Board of Directors for the fundraising arm of Black Lives Matter" = not true.
"She was convicted for the 1983 bombing of the United States Capitol Building, the U.S. Naval War College and the New York Patrolmen's Benevolent Assoc" = none of this is true.
So to be fair, its 1-for-3 in terms of truthfulness, which still renders it generally untruthful.
But... Let's look at Wikipedia, shall we? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_RosenbergAs of 2020, Rosenberg serves as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of Thousand Currents, a non-profit foundation that sponsors the fundraising and does administrative work for the Black Lives Matter Global Network, among other clients.[24] Rosenberg was charged with a role in the 1983 bombing of the United States Capitol Building, the U.S. National War College and the New York Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, but the charges were dropped as part of a plea deal by other members of her group.[7][12] Looks more like 2 of 3, guilty all the way down the line and some plea bargaining. I can't help but mention the narrow minded vindictiveness with which Twitch solemnly invoked "Flynn is a convicted Felon", now defending this witch. And we don't even have any evidence she loves kittens and puppies! There are two ways to be convicted of a crime. Plea guilty (that means confess) or go through the trial process. Susan Rosenberg was convicted of posession of explosive materials, but the charges related to the actual bombing were dropped. Since she was never tried for those and she never plead guilty - she was not convicted of them. Michael Flynn pled guilty to the crimes he was charged with. He also signed a document that detailed the crimes he was admitting to. Here, I'll show you. Take special note of what it says right before his signature:
Defendants Acceptance
I make this statement knowingly and voluntarily and
because l am, in fact, guilty of the crime charged. No threats have been made to me nor am I
under the influence of anything that could impede my ability to understand this Statement of the
Offense fully.
I have read every word of this Statement of the Offense, or have had it read to me.
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, after consulting with my attorneys, I agree
and stipulate to this Statement of the Offense, and declare under penalty of perjury that it is true
and correct.
     Remember: "Convicted" is just word we use that means someone either pled guilty or was found guilty by trial. |

That is exactly what you are doing, defending a convicted terrorist felon.
I'm saying the government dropped the bombing charges, therefor she wasn't convicted. It's ok to admit you're wrong. If you ever decide to give it a shot, I promise I'll just move on. Won't bring it up again and talk about all the time. Won't troll you. Won't think less of you. It's a totally normal thing for a person to do, we all make mistakes. |

You two are so cute when you are defending convicted terrorists.
Obviously she's guilty - no need to get all upset and assume I'm 'defending' her. You're the one spreading misinformation about her, not me. Now she can point out the lies that are spreading and maybe convince some people that the truth about her is also a lie. The truth is always the right side to be on. The charges were not dropped, her sentence was commuted, which is only an ending of a prison sentence, not remedy from guilt. She was still convicted and guilty of terrorist activity.
Ok well prove the 1990 NYTimes article wrong then. And no, the possession of explosives charges were separate from the bombing charges that the government dropped. |

On another note:  A quick fact check: Susan Rosenberg wasn't convicted for any bombings. She was convicted of possessing more than 600 pounds of explosives in 1984. The bombing charges were dropped against her in 1990. She served 16 years of a 58-year prison sentence. Also, she doesn't sit on the BLM's "fundraising arm" board of directors. She is the Vice Chair of the board of directors of Thousand Currents, "a non-profit foundation that sponsors the fundraising and does administrative work for the Black Lives Matter Global Network, among other clients." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Rosenberghttps://thousandcurrents.org/blacklivesmatter-we-will-not-be-intimidated-into-silence/Too many words in those links. I'll help.  |

Yes.
Someone ran over and killed someone else in a reckless way.
Protesting in the middle of the highway is clearly reckless and dumb - but it's not like someone jumped in front of a car doing 70 on an open highway.
I like how you carefully edit out the part where the "protestors" are reckless and in the act of committing a crime. I didn't carefully edit anything. Those are my words. I'm also not defending the protesters. Protesting in the middle of the highway is retarded. If your reckless driving kills someone, you've committed vehicular homicide/manslaughter/or whatever the label is in that state. It doesn't matter who you killed or what they were doing. Basic critical thinking skills here. |

Seattle is not in Minnesota. No, it isn't. I would say you are confused, but you aren't ever wrong are you? Confused why you're citing Minnesota statutes. Yes. Most likely you was the first thing that looked good on google so you just copy pasted without reading. I could be wrong though. What state is Minneapolis in TwattySqueal? Minnesota. I meant Minnesota statutes not Minneapolis statutes - my mistake. |
