    The original medical examiners report stated that there were multiple gunshot wounds to the head and chest. I would assume any of the ones in the chest would demonstrate the alignment of the muscles by the bullet's path.

    I'm not talking an OCD level of regularity. Just that he uses the site and is known by others here for his comments.

    Oh I have - and I believe he consults his OS for his posts. It's randomly strung together bits of Bible verses based his travel patterns on a 16-color (The Lord's number of colors, according to him) "game" where he walks through the desert.

    Yes, I went down the rabbit hole on another story about him and it's just crazy.

    When you say "regular", are you thinking of "normal"? That's not what regular means.

    regular
    reylr/
    adjective
    1. arranged in or constituting a constant or definite pattern, especially with the same space between individual instances.
    2. done or happening frequently.

    Look before that - almost daily visits. I guess he took an 8-month trip down the rabbit hole.

  6. Re:Race on Officer Not Charged In Michael Brown Shooting · · Score: 1

    And since it's the officer that's up for a potential trial, a jury full of a different race isn't more of a jury of his peers.

    But nearly every day before that. I guess he's really been working on his OS.

    No - it mostly involves having a random number generator spit out Bible verses out of context:

    There would likely be a bigger bias if the jury was mostly black. The potential defendant is white.

  11. Re:Flip Argument on Officer Not Charged In Michael Brown Shooting · · Score: 1

    That actual proof and evidence for the action only is accepted and not beliefs

    And the grand jury decided there wasn't enough of that to warrant a trial.

    If that's not enough, trying to take someone's gun and/or aim it and fire it should be enough.

    Hands up would have a different path of the bullet through the muscle tissue. There were 3 autopsies. I think they can establish that without eyewitness testimony.

    Wilson didn't kill Brown in the car during the scuffle. He killed him 150 feet away after chasing him.

    While Brown was facing him and charging at him. Are you really not going to look at the forensic evidence and just trust the very unreliable eyewitness accounts that don't line up?

    Corroborated. Unless you're saying they made the story up together.

    The grand jury was selected 3 months before the shooting. How "random" do you need it to be?

  18. Re:Did at least one black vote not to indict? on Officer Not Charged In Michael Brown Shooting · · Score: 1

    That's only unfair if you assume everyone's racist.

    But if the members of the grand jury and/or their votes were ever revealed, they won't survive the night. There's a reason it's kept relatively secret.

    Even the President that these individuals likely voted for is disgusted by what happened in Ferguson.

    Simple you where not on the Jury so you only have the evidence the media you pick gives you.

    The press has released the full contents of the evidence they were given. So with a little more time, it should be even more obvious that no trial was warranted.

  21. Re:I just don't understand on Officer Not Charged In Michael Brown Shooting · · Score: 1

    If his hands were up and he was shot in the chest, then you'd see that in the path it takes through the muscle tissue. Given that there were 3 autopsies, I'd say you could decide if those testimonies were credible or not.

  22. Re:The "Protesters" on Officer Not Charged In Michael Brown Shooting · · Score: 1

    It's an entirely different group of people, I'm almost sure. It may have incited more violence from the actual protesters, but those acts were mostly done by opportunists.

    Well - even brick and mortar hits that price point on sale at least once a month somewhere around. I guess I just don't buy that sort of thing when it's not.

    Well I lost all faith with the ACA ruling where it was ruled not a tax (used to decide standing) and then in a different part of the same ruling a tax (to determine if it was constitutional).

    True. Precedents are a bigger problem than Presidents. They are just destroying the Constitution by trying to rewrite laws from the court bench. It's slippery slopes all around.

  25. Re:So... wait until you get home...? on UK Hotel Adds Hefty Charge For Bad Reviews Online · · Score: 1

    Directly is way too much trouble to do in a retail setting without going out of PCI compliance. Hotels usually just authorize at the beginning of the stay, and then capture after checkout at the final price. One transaction in most cases.

    Slashdot just fixed notifications. Apologies for a random late reply.
