Listen to law80 on this one. He’s on your side and indicates that the second half of the incident was likely self defense from a legal perspective, and there isn’t enough info to make a judgment on the first. I assume (could be wrong as I’m not familiar with Wis law) that the shooter would get the self defense jury instruction meaning the State would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the shooting was NOT self defense. The shooter doesn’t need to show that it was. That’s an incredibly high burden for the State to meet, and when the self defense instruction is given the chance of conviction is next to zero.

All folks involved in the situation are morons. None of them should have been there. The shooter should not have been there, let law enforcement do their job. Displaying a gun in that situation is beyond stupid. On the other side the protesters/rioters also should not have been there. They shouldn't be antagonizing/assaulting a guy with a gun. It's typically a wise course of action to give the crazy guy with a gun a wide berth. Unfortunately they were just as crazy. All parties involved are the LCD of the fringe right and fringe left and don't represent 99% of the country. Nobody should be justifying the conduct of anyone in this situation.

The prosecutors in these cases are in a tough position, but I also fear they are over-charging some of these cases. I would not want to be anywhere near Minneapolis when the verdict is read. If that cop walks on the inflated top charge it isn't gonna be pretty. It would not be pleasant to be the judge, jurors, or attorneys in that case.

I think everyone understood that. I don't think that could have been any clearer. The whole purpose was to not overwhelm the medical system to allow anyone in medical distress the best chance of a positive outcome. It seems that people aren't being smart enough to see that the goalposts got completely moved once the generally population really did a great job of accomplishing the original goal. The current plan seems to have absolutely no endgame.

In the first couple months the whole idea was to "flatten the curve." That was the objective and it seems like the right approach. Short of a vaccine we are not going to eradicate this thing, and even with a vaccine that won't be the end of it. New Zealand, with their small population and being an island, have done great from a physical health perspective. Are they going to continue to live under those lockdown conditions potentially forever? It literally takes one person who is shedding the virus to blow it all up, unless you want to weld people into their homes every time that happens. The flattening of the curve worked. The general population did their part whether or not the virus warranted the response.

It's hard to believe for some people. When folks 60 and under get it, instead of the nursing home crowd, it's statistically a mild flu. Obviously there are outliers with bad results in that demographic, but not as many as with the flu. Amazing what happens when the vulnerable are protected. Statistics are our friend. The data on this one is so clear as far as who is at potential risk. Statistically, 80 percent of the population would be better off getting Covid than the flu.

On a podcaster on the ringer network a few Legit NFL scouts where discussing QBs and they were very high on him. I believe that one had him as the top QB and the other 2 had him in the top 2 or 3. The scouts were saying that the other top guys only need to read half the field due to their offenses schemes.

It is pretty well established that Covid is significantly more deadly in certain populations, and significantly less deadly in others relative to the flu. Seems to make logical sense to protect those in the high risk groups, which are a pretty small portion of the population. It seems like this is largely happening know as indicated by the much lower fatality rates. What transpired in NY absolutely should not happen again.

It's such a benefit to have Marwin on this team. Clutch hitter and can play any defensive position at an above average level. Gives so much versatility with injuries and rest.

If fans are not allowed (which seems inevitable), I can't see teams at the FCS and lower levels having a season. It's a financial call, not a safety one.

Presumable we'd continue with BCBS as we always have. The private policy options changed with the implementing of the ACA. We considered dropping coverage for some of the lower paid individuals and paying them the equivalent of the discount rate they could potentially get through the ACA marketplace. It's a mess, but it is not questionable that the middle class is getting screwed by having to pay higher premiums, or having a lower income because their employer is paying a higher cost for their benefits. If someone is being subsidized, someone is paying for it. Whether that trade off of hurting the middle class is worth it is a valid debate.

I''m a partner in a small business. We pay for the insurance of our 15 or so employees and their families. The middle/upper-middle class folks that earn between 60K-300k got hosed. Below that you get subsidized. Above that and the monthly cost is palatable relative to the income level. Sucks to be the guy earning 80k-120k who has to pay $1200/month for crappy insurance. Even more so for the boss that is paying that for all his employees.

Bottom five of the lineup tonight: Rosario Garver Arraez Sano Buxton That's pretty crazy. (3) 30+ hr guys, a guy who's a potential batting champion, and one of fastest players in the game.

It appears that around 75% of revenue for college football is from ticket sales. Tack on other game-day revenue for advertising, etc., I can't see fall/winter seasons taking place unless fans can be present.

It fans are not allowed the revenues will take a MAJOR hit for college hockey (and all other college sports). Couple that with the added testing and other Covid-related costs and besides the top football and basketball programs, how many athletic departments will be able to finance their programs?

Two incredibly obvious factors which are never discussed by the woke community are family and education. Make each a focus and statistically the rest falls into place. I can't understand why a major focus on this whole issue isn't placing an emphasis on the family and education. Unfortunately it's racist to state that having an intact family, or at least a strong father figure, is critically important.

In ND for the CONFIRMED cases for people under 60 - 99.82% survival rate. In ND for the CONFIRMED cases for people under 70 - 99.6% survival rate. In ND, given those numbers for the CONFIRMED cases, the fatality rate is probably less than 1 per 1000 in those under 70. health.nd.gov

The "normal" people are the 80-90% of people that think that Trump is a complete buffoon, that Biden is losing his marbles, and that the fringe on the left and right are outright dangerous. Unfortunately to get the (D) nomination they needed to move so far left it's nuts. The political consensus is that the absolute best thing Biden can do is hide and say absolutely nothing. That's pretty telling about the status of the candidates. Just as with Hillary, it shows how awful the (D) candidate is that the 2016 and 2020 elections are/were even in doubt. Any moderate and coherent candidate would be fantastic, too bad their isn't one.

You have no concept of nuance do you? Because someone voted for Trump in no way means they are okay with all of Trumps actions. I do find dishonesty despicable, including yours.

I'll be interested to see the power rankings implications and how this will be incorporated. I've always thought getting no "credit" for a 5x5 OT loss was a bit unfair.

Just saw a clip of a "defund the police" person on CNN. She was asked about someone calling the police for a break-in at night. Her response was nothing but the question showed the hosts' privilege. No substantive answer. Would Minneapolis actually defund the PD? What an absolute mess that would be, although it would be an interesting social experiment to witness from afar."

Their failure has nothing to do with Covid. The relationship between the players and owners has always been horrible. Tough break for the Twins. Their window isn’t gonna be too big and they had a pretty solid team this year.

Scare situation. Just takes one stupid move by a protester or officer. After 8 hours of “protesting” its time to go home. Nerves have to be getting to a breaking point.

Was on CNBC yesterday in regard to the unemployment claims and the difficulty businesses are having in hiring folks because they are receiving way more by not working. There is a proposal to pay those that go back to work $450/week on top of their wage to help make up the difference between their working wage and the unemployment they are receiving.

An inmate released early due to Covid murdered someone in Minot. 70% of unemployed are receiving more than their employment wages, 20% are receiving more than 2 times their employment income. Good times.
