@TimJDillon I just threw my bottle in the trash after a sign said “please recycle.” Ring the fucking liberty bell

@paleochristcon @RealCandaceO Do you think Bibi actually placed a phone call that day?

@elonmusk @GadSaad You’re a trillionaire dog no need for jealousy

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@OttoHammerOne @tbierly @NatetheLawyer Don’t get to say that everyday on here. Ditto, Otto.

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@OttoHammerOne @tbierly @NatetheLawyer Yes it will. And, tbc, obviously his actions did not warrant his death. She had opportunities to escape the situation. Not guilty doesn’t always mean innocent, unfortunately. We’ll see how it unfolds

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@OttoHammerOne @tbierly @NatetheLawyer Very fair points. What causes her to circle around the car? She initially points the gun, he shows his hands, but then he takes a step towards her. I think that’s when her thought process went to “he might be willing to try and get the gun.”

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@OttoHammerOne @tbierly @NatetheLawyer Right, but she was objectively advanced on while pointing a gun at someone. That changes the perception of threat - as it would with a police officer, for example. If the gun stopped him? Now you can make a much better case she didn’t have reason to feel threatened in the moment

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@TCP31943702 @NatetheLawyer Could be - if she (or he) has prior history of aggressive behavior, that will play a factor too. Regardless of the court’s outcome, it’s not a situation where someone deserved to die.

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@OttoHammerOne @tbierly @NatetheLawyer My view is subjective - he’s ex military, not going to back down from a gun, and looks like he just wants to get his point across. All she knows in the moment is a guy repeatedly getting close enough to make a quick move and control her firearm. Drugs? Crazy? Reasonable doubt

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@TCP31943702 @NatetheLawyer Probably the best chance the prosecution has here. But he also walks up to her. She stays at her car. Any sort of prior verbal altercation where she thinks he might come up to her in a threatening way? Don’t think this slams the door on the case as much as you think

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@OttoHammerOne @tbierly @NatetheLawyer That’s the state’s burden to prove without a reasonable doubt. Go ahead, give it a shot.

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@jonrhewitt @NatetheLawyer Agreed. Teach tape of what not to do all around. Just trying to view it through a legal lens on my end. From a personal standpoint? An ego check could’ve spared a life here. It should weigh on her conscience, no matter the verdict.

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@tbierly @NatetheLawyer If he wasn’t advancing towards her while she had the firearm pointed, I’d agree. I personally don’t think he was going to harm her. Can’t prove she saw it the same way.

[Uncle Sam @BirdBath_Beyond]

@jonrhewitt @NatetheLawyer There’s a lot of gray, no doubt. Who’s the aggressor here? She gets out of the car with a gun, he approaches. She doesn’t raise it until he’s 8 feet away. If she fired at that point, I would say it’s tougher to perceive as deadly from her POV.

@realannapaulina Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. It’s an additional cost of a deeply unpopular war.

@marklevinshow Sorry mark, can’t bomb your way to respect from your peers in sports.

A lot of great athletes have a simple formula:

feel disrespected —> Ball out —> gain respect.

22 has a national stage on the 25th. All star game. Let’s see what she can do.

@thedebralea And these improvements are made with public funds?

@MelikAbdul_ Thank you. It’s a little extra frustrating to see Texas republicans in congress parrot this stuff - it’s only been five years since they dealt with the aftermath of a long-term grid failure in severe weather. It’s negligent to not remind constituents from Mamdani’s shoes.
