  1. The stories coming out about just how gone he was toward the end of his term? Look I think did a great job getting us out of COVID and he did a few other good things as well, but there's no way he could have done the job a second term. Yes it would be better than the shitshow we're currently dealing with, but I wouldn't say that anyone better than Trump 47 to necessarily be qualified.
  2. And both were unqualified to do the job. We must do better.
  3. Oh I think he's coming back. Too bad this guy's an old, or that photo would've made him a lock for the 2028 nom
  4. send him back he's a chiefs fan
  5. Senator just confirmed it
  6. This is a better screenshot of Bukele's post
  7. There's no twitter on Surly but it's something Bukele tweeted just now
  8. This is Grok right?
  9. Take advantage of all the support you can find.
  10. I thought he was just some kind of spokesperson, like Al Sharpton. Bold strategy
  11. 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.
  12. I'm not talking about the trial. I'm talking about what the public knows for certain today. Why bother jumping to conclusions?
  13. it really just depends what his intent was, and we don't know that yet
  14. I'm sure there's also precedent saying that a stabbing isn't always serious bodily injury
  15. 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.
  16. This is the point I'm making. Right now we don't have proof of intent to seriously injure. Wait for evidence.
  17. 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.
