  1. I thought he was just some kind of spokesperson, like Al Sharpton. Bold strategy
  2. Nobody here saw what happened that's all I've been saying. Someone died, there was a knife involved, and the guy says he was holding the knife when it happened and was using the knife for self defense. We don't know more than that. I've not read any news about how "hard" the stabbing was or even if his intention was to stab the guy in the chest. There's conflicting rumors about how much they knew each other if at all. If the two of them were scuffling, then anything could have happened during the scuffle, and there's a world of difference between pulling out a knife and using that knife to cause a serious injury. If there were people crowding around the two of them or behind either of them that also can contribute to unintended consequences. Just let it play out, there's no need to jump to conclusions.
  3. I'm not talking about the trial. I'm talking about what the public knows for certain today. Why bother jumping to conclusions?
  4. it really just depends what his intent was, and we don't know that yet
  5. I'm sure there's also precedent saying that a stabbing isn't always serious bodily injury
  6. What usually happens if a guy suckerpuches someone else at a bar or a party and the victim takes an unlucky bounce and ends up dead. That's not intent to cause serious bodily injury is it? Intent to bruise someone or even fracture a bone, but to cause a serious injury? I wouldn't think so. Bringing a knife into the mix changes things, I agree. I just don't think agree that every time someone wields a knife they're intent on causing a "serious" injury that can't be treated with a tourniquet and basic first aid equipment that is probably available at a UIL event.
  7. This is the point I'm making. Right now we don't have proof of intent to seriously injure. Wait for evidence.
  8. How do you prove his intent was to do that, specifically? The kid was holding a knife, sure. So what? He says he wanted to defend himself, not cause a serious injury. As was covered earlier in the thread, the bar for "serious" is pretty high, so how are they going to prove that at the time of the incident he wanted to use the knife to hospitalize the victim? Remember the law separates what was "committed" from what was "intended" so it seems kind of lazy to infer from the events of Act III the characters' intentions in Act II. Just let things play out.
  9. What words? He said what he thought had happened, not what he intended. The text you quoted makes a big distinction between what's "intended" and what's "committed" by him. Nobody denies that the victim was stabbed, which is why he "committed" a homicide, but without video or other concrete proof you'd have to make a pretty big assumption about Anthony's "intentions." He's adamant that his knife was for self defense, after all.
  10. How do you know Anthony intended to stab anyone? All of a sudden wielding a knife for any purpose means you intend to stab? What if they can only prove he intended to intimidate, or to graze the victim's skin? Someone should study the reasons why social media commenters can't seem to resist the urge to jump to conclusions before the trial actually happens. There's no reward for guessing. All it does is contribute to an echo chamber where these guesses marinade among room temperature IQ losers until they become firmly held community prejudices.
  11. Capitalism breeds innovation, not doomed-from-their-inception pet projects for out-of-touch billionaires such as the Metaverse and Cybertruck
  12. By the way, we have no real evidence that Mangione is guilty, but at least I've seen the video in that case. All I see is some person testing out his weapon when some asshole got in the way. No intent, no conviction!
  13. Luigi Mangione changed lawyers too and I think it made sense because shitstain Pennsylvania and NYC are two very different places, and now with Pam Barbie seeking the death penalty he might need another kind of lawyer. I still want revenge on Carmelo Anthony for dominating the final four but I won't criticize him for firing lawyers if he didn't think they were up for the task anymore.
  14. Can't dispute that at all, but at least the bandwagon fans can feel some kind of secondhand embarrassment
  15. He and Vivek are in a race to embarrass Ohio the most
  16. pandemic out front shoulda told ya
  17. He's really fallen off but he's definitely tight with Pop.
