With respect, continuing to call it "suicide" is deeply distressing and unfair to terminally ill adults, which you are aware of. These are individuals who desperately want to live, but their illness has taken that choice away from them. We aren't choosing death over life, we are asking to choose a peaceful death, if we face a prolonged, agonizing one. Excellent palliative care and individual autonomy can and should coexist.
We can fight for better palliative care funding, without using emotionally loaded terms that judge and hurt people facing the end of their lives. Terminally ill, mentally competent dying adults deserve this choice, and I’m glad it’s being brought back.

🔥 The Knicks pulled off the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history, rallying from a staggering 29-point deficit to defeat the Spurs 107-106 in Game 4.

The victory gives NY a 3-1 lead & puts the Knicks just one win away from a championship.

Hoping this filming partly explains why he was below his high standards for much of this season and that now it’s out of the way he’ll have 20+ g/a next season

Well done, you mouth-breathing cretins. And well done to all the pricks on social media who have done nothing but race-bait over this tragedy. Shameful across the board.

As a psychologist, I’ll bet you £100 this is what happened with poor Henry Nowak. Cops suffer from empathy burn out. 90% of the time they deal with nothing but scum. It doesn’t make it right, but that cynicism will have come into play, here.

They get a 999 call saying, “A Sikh has been attacked.” They arrive at the scene, there’s a Sikh saying he’s been attacked and someone (Henry) acting strangely. The weapon has been hidden. They will have immediately thought ‘drink or drugs’, and they see no obvious wounds. The murderer laid on exactly the scene the police would have expected to see, had the complaint been genuine.

These are pure human confirmation and anchoring biases at play: the cops saw what they expected to see from the info they had going into the situation. They were tricked. Humans make mistakes.

Where the cops royally fucked up was not following normal procedures when someone says they have been stabbed, and checking them all over including skin. They should lose their jobs over that negligence alone and for allowing their biases to override their training.

I guarantee you “I can’t breathe” inadvertently made things worse as that’s what every single scumbag says when they get arrested, since George Floyd.

This absolute tragedy is a sad combination of confirmation and anchoring biases, excessive cynicism, and a criminal failure to follow correct procedures, not to mention a lying, murdering piece of shit and his piece of shit family doing everything they could to confuse the police and muddy the waters. It has nothing to do with diversity.

Henry Nowak should not have died at all, but he would have died whatever the police did. However, in these circumstances he should have died with someone holding his hand, trying to save him, and telling him it would be ok, not in handcuffs being read his rights. The police officers who made this dreadful error should lose their jobs and will have to live with that for the rest of their days.

Final point: well done to the Hants Police detectives who shredded the murderer’s story and secured a conviction.

It’s such a breath of fresh air to see a Josh Kroenke doing this. I know the Hill-Woods were staunch Arsenal fans but never in a million years could you imagine them doing something like that. So pleased that Josh seems to have completely fallen in love with our club

@SeanDOlfc I've always maintained that deep down, this is what the Arsenal hate is all about. At least someone is bold enough to show it.
