In Flagstaff current events, the trial for the kid that shot four folks and killed one on campus in the Fall of 2015 is looking to be headed for a hung jury. I sat through the opening & closing statements, the testimony, and the even the jury asking questions, and my conclusion is that both the prosecution and defense counsel are morons. I'm armchair-lawyering obviously, but there's a charge of premeditated murder, the prosecutor calls the shooter an "assassin in the night", and then - in his opening statement, no less - he submits that two of the victims lunged at the shooter, the shooter stopped firing after the first victim got hit, stowed his weapon and went in for first aid, and asked the first officer on the scene to help the victims. The guy also got his opening statements interrupted by a bunch of sustained objections, so I have no idea if there's some calculated grandstanding there, or if the prosecutor is just dumb. Defense counsel is also a babbling fool, though. After five days of deliberation, the jury hasn't even reached on ANY of the five aggravated assault charges, nor the premeditated murder charge. http://www.12news.com/news/local/arizona/judge-gives-instructions-to-jury-in-nau-shooting-trial-deliberations-resume/429413315

McNally posted:Holy poo poo, gently caress you. Honestly, when I read that REALLY brief passage, my first thought also was "Hold on, he hosed up throwing a grenade and then unfucked his gently caress-up", but if anyone's second thought after that isn't "dude got the medal of honor for it, that CAN'T be all there is to the story", I don't even know what to say. The process of awarding the drat thing is so loving arduous and thorough, you can pretty much accept that whoever got it, deserved it, and don't really need to second guess.

Because shitter-water splashing back into your rear end in a top hat is unsanitary, and if you've ever had to provide a stool sample, you'll thank the gods you had a poop-inspection plate as opposed to playing turd-bobbing in the bowl.psydude posted:Germans don't just like smelling poop.

Mr. Nice! posted:Do you know how you provide a stool sample? Because it isn't by fishing it out of the water. They give you what looks like a plastic cowboy hat that sits in the bowl. You poo poo in that, then scoop into a little sample cup that has a spoon attached to the lid or with something similar. It looks like this: I mean, maybe you need giant poop-cowboy-hats in Freedomland, but where I'm from you get a little plastic container with a scoop built into the lid, and a sealing bag and box to put it in.

In German news, Schleswig-Holstein's regional election results are in, and the main opposition party to Merkel's CDU bombed hard. They needed to show that they still have momentum to carry over into the national election in September, but instead nutted in their pants before even picking up their date at the door. The AfD (Alternative fuer Deutschland), basically the Neonazis with the most recent new-car-smell, barely cleared the 5% bar, which essentially meant to avoid a major defeat. It's pretty much around where they polled, and they've been plagued with infighting and other scandals, so no one was expecting major gains for them.

I'm not worried about the latter. /goddamnit, every single time of the rare occasions I try to look for a movie I don't usually have access to, it's not on Netflix. But Netflix recommended "The Smartest Guys in the Room", so I might as well watch that one again. A film about Enron should sate my desire for bizarre for now.

Mr. Nice! posted:With the gift of hindsight, his actions during the election make a lot more sense. He had this massive russian thing he was working on at the same time he was investigating the leaks to Guliani. Rudy, and thus Trump and the Russians had the info about weiner's laptop. He had no choice but write his letter to congress about it and he obviously couldn't come out and say why. Hold on, explain this to me in layman's terms. What do we know now that the public didn't know back then that made him seem like a douchebag for doing it before the election?

Sorry to be the buzzkill, but what exactly makes this so monumental vis-a-vis his previous session of testimony? Wouldn't he still not be able to testify regarding classified matters as long as it's an open session? Or is this all about getting him on the record saying "lol, Trump's full of poo poo and told me to not look into Russia?"

not caring here posted:So what happens when you get found that you've hosed up your master's thesis or PhD thesis like that, do they revoke it? In Germany, cabinet members lose their positions and reputation over this type of poo poo. There was a chain of incidents like this after a high-profile politician lost their PhD and position, so the Internet jumped in a shitton of other politician's theses. Most high-profile was our SecDef getting kicked out for having plagiarized in his thesis. In America of 2017, I'm guessing you can milk it for being a maverick that doesn't conform to institutional constraints or something.

But isn't there a world of time for non-lethal options before capping the guy? The guy REALLY, REALLY slowly walks away with his hands raised...why not tase the gently caress out of him? Or pepperspray or whatever they're carrying? At the very least when the second cop joins the fray, so you don't have to holster your gun or whatever. And then there's THREE cops abreast and a fourth one right behind them, with ample time before he reaches in the window. If this were a one cop versus massive dude situation, I'd have a different perspective, but I don't quite understand how there seems to be nothing in their repertoire between "train weapon on person" and "shoot person", except for "wait for person to do thing that makes you shoot person". /edit: hell, the cop in the helo even specifically says "Time for a Taser, I think", and his buddy answers "Got a feeling that's about to happen"

A noncompliant guy acting unpredictably and reaching into his vehicle (you can see it in the helo video, before he's shot) is going to be treated as a threat. I'm not saying he deserved it, but trying to string up the woman who shot him is more excessive.

Current event: It's 6 years after the Fukushima fuckup, and TEPCO is still not even remotely underway unfucking their fuckup. Nope, they've managed to gently caress up a whole lot more, and are trying to keep it on the down-low, something they definitely didn't do in 2011.
