SA 15+ yrs ago at the peak of the furry hate was also probably about a decade or so younger on average. I think people here have mostly grown out of it.

Yeah that article was great and made the point that violent suppression made peaceful democratic socialism impossible and brought about communist revolution. Way to massively miss the point.

Ending the war on drugs will only stop one avenue that fascists use to oppress people and will also allow whites to smoke weed which is a thing they are not already doing so we should not end the war on drugs. multijoe posted:You're saying fursuiters are what, an urban legend? What I'm saying is that both you and the sloth lady are creating negative stereotypes of people you hate and getting mad at them online.

as we know, the war on drugs was started specifically so that the Nixon administration had an excuse to harass white people

Platystemon posted:It wouldn’t matter if he had an eggshell skull, you fucks. That's a civil law concept that doesn't precisely translate to criminal law. I don't know the ins and outs of Minnesota's laws at all because why would I as I am not a criminal in Minnesota or criminal lawyer in Minnesota but the relevant stuff would be the manslaughter and murder stuff here and how it works with how they determine intent. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609

With the important criminal precedents listed. e: looking closer, that situation was a relative recent British case. I looked and it is a standard element of criminal law in America law as well. If you think about it, there is no way you couldn't not apply this rule to cases involving rich white people, or lots of old rich fuckers could be murdered really easily.

As mentioned in the other thread this came up in that's common law jurisdictions like the UK and Australia. US criminal law is a bit of a different beast. Now I'm not saying for 100% sure it's not used somewhere in the US, but in general the intent required to convict someone of homicide is going to be based on the relevant statutes.

That's why I linked a definition specifying that it applies to American criminal law. And pointed out that it wouldn't be possible for criminal law to protect the people it wants to protect without it.

Hodgepodge posted:The Wikipedia article repeatedly states that it is also applied in criminal law. With the important criminal precedents listed. So before I get into this response let me first say that I think and hope that Chauvin will be charged with the highest murder charge Minnesota has. gently caress him. But if he is convicted it probably be either third degree murder or a manslaughter as much as that sucks. Because it's all about intent and the victim's underlying health condition isn't really relevant at all beyond the fact that the cop did a thing and it resulted in death. So for something to be the lowest kind of murder in Minnesota it has to be within 609.195 https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.195 quote:(a) Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years. There's no room here for an eggshell skull rule because the the act has to be eminently dangerous and evincing a depraved mind w/o regard for human life. Say for example that two people are engaged in an argument and one slaps the other. The person slapped has a medical condition and the slap results in death. Now if the eggshell rule applied that would be murder, but it can't be murder because slapping someone isn't eminently dangerous. It's not murder even though the eggshell rule exists because really their health condition doesn't matter, what matters for the purpose of the law is what the person intended to do and the fact that it resulted in death. I guess you could say that's an eggshell rule since it's all about the intent but at that point you're getting into a tautology. You don't really need an eggshell rule here because the relevant questions are did they die and did you intend to do something that would fit what the statute says is murder. There's also manslaughter which has a lower intent requirement. The lowest kind of manslaughter is 609.205 https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.205 I especially like (2) quote:A person who causes the death of another by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both: Going back to my original hypothetical I don't think most people would say that slapping someone creates and unreasonable risk and has the chance of causing death or great bodily harm. Slaps don't do that kind of damage. Now maybe if you know someone is really loving frail and do it anyway, that changes things, but that wouldn't be the eggshell rule because that rule is about unknown conditions. This is getting too effort posty though and gently caress effort so I'll just say that US criminal law is mostly driven by the statutes and not common law concepts.

we aren't lawyers, and trying to dig deeper than "yes, this broad rule applicable in the jurisdiction" is a good way to end up arguing about things that are legally unrelated like i am here saying that the rough equivalent of "negligence rather than intent is not a defense in homicide cases," and you are saying "there is a law that specifically applies to negligent homicide." great, that doesn't make negligence a defense, it makes it evidence towards conviction for a specific type of homicide.

also lol at saying that american law is more driven by precedent than common law concepts. I'll let you look up the definition of commom law so you can appreciate why this is funny.

“Doesn’t matter” may have been a step too far, but they act like “well if the guy had a preexisting condition, the Chauvinists are totally off the hook! Case closed!” when that is absolutely not the case. It’s “died from COVID vs. died with COVID” in a nut shell.

There've been more egregious cases of cops getting away with murder in Minneapolis alone i think it's pretty well established that whatever the letter of the law could hypothetically be construed to imply, any interpretation suggesting it might be illegal for q cop on duty to kill black people might as well be sovereign citizen poo poo
