In the late 1970s, 11 babies died of SIDS in one area of Tennessee. They'd had the same vaccine from the same batch. Wyeth's (now Pfizer) response was to stop sending a single batch to a single area, instead splitting batches so no clusters could be noticed again.
@turn3685@Alaskacryptogi1@medeabenjamin It's not confusing. People can tell the difference even though the law defines it broader to cover everything. So this incident while assault was due more to being antagonistic rather than criminal intent. So no fine or jail. But she needs to mind her manners.
@JeanPGelinas@BeachLowry@medeabenjamin That is why we distinguish between incidental brushing and punching, kicking, shoving. Why was she following or walking alongside Anna to begin with? Was it related to the committee hearing? So in summary, she needs to use better judgement in her interactions. But no jail/fine.
@turn3685@Alaskacryptogi1@medeabenjamin I had several occasions this past week involving bumping into each other at church, store,a female friend gave me a hug and an unknown woman at Sam's Club touched my shoulder to say she liked my 250th year/Independence Day shirt. Didn't give consent ahead of time. But no crime.
@turn3685@Alaskacryptogi1@medeabenjamin Then explain why a man would be charged with assault for hugging and kissing a woman without her permission? In any event, assault did occur as defined but not to level of criminal intent.
@turn3685@Alaskacryptogi1@medeabenjamin So it's clear that assault happened. But not to the level of criminal intent. So no jail or fine. But the judge should tell Medea to take a breather.
@JeanPGelinas@BeachLowry@medeabenjamin Technically correct given how assault laws are written. Any physical contact without consent is assault.
So applying it to the world at large, it is then measured by degree and intent.
@RomanScipioA@LilaGraceRose Your contention that people with Down Syndrome are subhuman. I don't agree. Your claims are similar to that of eugenicists.
