@anarchoboognish Isn’t that the best reason to get an abortion? It seems very strange that this the one circumstance in which you’d oppose it.

[Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter]

It's all in "Adios, America!" The two groups LEAST likely to go back were British and Jewish immigrants.

About half of the rest couldn't make it and went home BECAUSE WE WEREN'T A GIANT WELFARE STATE. Laissez faire got us the best people -- and it sure cost a lot less.

@TristinHopper If an institution merely wastes money and does no other damage, it’s among Canada’s best.

The Senate is in danger of losing this exalted status.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

@TristinHopper Just what Canada needs: a massive new layer of regulatory burden on top of what we already have.

You didn’t notice that, on the basis of the accusation of racism, the police arrested the dying Henry Nowak? This is what “worked exactly as calculated.”

You should have been honest enough to recognize that this is what the original poster was referring to and responded to it directly, instead of merely trying to carry water for an ideological system that is falling into deeper and deeper discredit by the day.

🚨BREAKING: SPECIALIST DOCTOR SAYS HENRY NOWAK COULD HAVE LIVED IF NOT FOR POLICE

In summary:

- Henry was alive when they arrived and likely clotted
- Aggressive police intervention likely tore clot
- Major Trauma department was minutes away from scene
- Judge and Pathologist were FAR TOO LENIENT on Police
- Henry Nowak had 50% CHANCE to survive
- Absolutely convinced that if he arrived in hospital alive he would have survived

This is disgusting, the family deserve justice

Full breakdown below:

Dr Krzysztof Magier [@DrMagier] based in the Isle of Wight is a qualified Paediatric Care Lead and part of the 'Critical Care Network' with experience in combat medicine training and a specialized course in treating severe injuries (including gunshot and stab wounds) has analysed the footage and claimed the AGGRESSIVE Police intervention may have contributed towards Henry's death.

Dr Magier DISAGREES with the pathologist's and judge's opinion that Henry Nowak had ZERO chance of SURVIVAL.

As well as the claim that handcuffing him essentially changed NOTHING.

In fact he claims the REVERSE IS TRUE, there is a high likelihood that the police intervention CONTRIBUTED TO HENRY'S DEATH.

He analysed the autopsy report, which points to DAMAGE to the subclavian vein as the main source of BLEEDING.

In a healthy person, venous bleeding occurs under low pressure and often self-limits thanks to the NATURALLY FORMING CLOT, while simply approximating the wound edges and compressing the surrounding tissues closes the vein enough to slow or even stop the bleeding.

The body camera footage shows that when police arrived on the scene (likely 5-10 minutes after the injury), Henry was CONCIOUS ENOUGH to speak LOUDLY.

He was therefore NOT YET in a terminal state.

After his arms were twisted behind his back and handcuffed, the vein was most likely STRETCHED, the clot TORN, and BLEEDING DRAMATICALLY INTENSIFIED.

Within just about three minutes, he lost consciousness and DIED.

People with suspected internal injuries should NEVER be moved or yanked abruptly, such actions can destroy the natural clot and lead to massive internal hemorrhage.

Instead of immediately calling a medical rescue team and handing the patient over to paramedics, the police ARRESTED HIM.

If paramedics had arrived first on the scene, Henry’s chances of survival would have been MUCH HIGHER.

AS HIGH AS "50%"—writes Dr. Magier.

Paramedics could have quickly started an IV, administered fluids to increase circulating blood volume, and tranexamic acid to stabilize the clot, and if needed, performed needle decompression (inserting a large, long needle into the lung), because the issue wasn’t so much lack of lung function, but compression of the blood-filled lung on the heart and mediastinum, which blocks circulation.

Worse still, the incident took place just a few minutes' drive by car (2–3 minutes by ambulance with sirens) from Southampton University Hospital—a regional MAJOR TRAUMA CENTRE equipped with a full team of specialists, procedures, and equipment.

"I AM CONVINCED THAT IF HENRY HAD ARRIVED THERE ALIVE THE DOCTORS WOULD HAVE NOT LET HIM DIE"—writes Dr. Magier.

The aggressive police intervention, instead of saving a life, led to death through improper handling of a severely injured person, even though world-class care was just minutes away. "I fear the Judge and pathologist were too lenient toward the police"

This is hilarious:

"What is this? Is this a dunk tank?"

Marco Rubio doesn’t hold back after Democrat Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove cuts him off and refuses to let him answer her questions during a House Foreign Affairs hearing:

"Why am I here if I don’t get to answer your questions or your defamatory statements?"

"You get asked questions for five minutes and you don't get time to answer? It's not a hearing!"

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

The sources we have mostly tell us about official plans and intentions, not actual results. There was an intention of having X number of soldiers on frontier Y, but in reality if there weren’t sufficient resources to pay for it, it wasn’t going to be there, or would be there briefly until the soldiers went off to grow food for themselves.

Imagine if historians millennia from now would read (to choose an example familiar to me) Canadian political sources claiming that the government would provide free healthcare, free daycare, and all kinds of other things. They would assume that these stated intentions resulted in a reality to match, yet they might be shocked to learn how little actual healthcare and daycare were actually provided.

@RealDianeYap @xwanyex But it’s the truth. This is what kids are like. Speaking the truth requires no defence or special explanation.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

The hypocrisy of the ruling elite is so stark and obvious that they cannot escape it. It will end in their utter embarrassment and humiliation and removal from power.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

All the same politicians who spoke of “rage” and “unspeakable fury” and forced a cultural revolution after George Floyd now demand “calm” and “no politicisation” after Henry’s murder.

The reason is simple.

George Floyd was black.

Henry Nowak was white.

We will not relent.

@Levin0945656 @cornu__copia My point is that on the face of it rising female employment and status would not appear to be the main explanation for the rapid decline in fertility in the Islamic world, a phenomenon which is by no means limited to Morocco and Tunisia.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

People who say the collapse in the fertility rate is driven by female employment and rising female status, what’s the explanation for the collapse in the Muslim world?

[Infos Minutes @InfosMinutesFR]

🇹🇳 🇲🇦 🇩🇿 : Après la Tunisie, le Maroc vient de passer sous le seuil de renouvellement des générations avec un taux de natalité de 1,97 enfant par femme. La Tunisie est quant à elle à 1,6 enfant par femme, un score proche de la moyenne de l’Europe. L’Algérie reste le pays maghrébin le plus dynamique sur le plan démographique avec 2,7 enfants par femme. Le seuil de renouvellement est de 2,1 enfants par femme. #Tunisie #Maroc #Algerie

How the police behave is a matter of concern to the general public, not just one individual. It’s bizarre and irrational to suggest that this one family would have a monopoly over the entire public reaction.

In fact, this is just a thinly disguised excuse to shut down the discussion because liberals like you don’t want the discussion to occur.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

@cornu__copia From a very low level, perhaps, but it’s still far below what it was in western societies when our fertility rate as much higher.

@MariGO2thepolls @xwanyex I’m sure a comment like this will create the impression that your question was in good faith and you want a genuinely constructive conversation on the topic.

It’s pretty crazy that we’ve never had a president from the 1870-20 immigration wave.

[The Matthew Principle @MattPrinciple]

@LiorBibasMD This is terrible news, of course, but I’m curious as to what percentage of your members have voted for parties favouring mass third-world immigration over the years. This situation may in part be self-inflicted.
