(17,659 posts)Old Bob told us, "He not busy born is busy dying."
A logical extension of their argument, after shooting someone would be, "Your honor, it wasn't murder, he had high-blood pressure and it was bound to kill him sooner or later."

(4,175 posts)These selfish pricks who HAVE TO GET TO THIER FAMILIES OR IT'S NOT THANKSGIVING make me sick. It's a damned meal, and you're going to argue about why tRump is an asshole with your crazy MAGAt relatives, so ask yourself...was it worth it since you have to go back home at Christmas and bury Mom? Dumb asses. It's a PANDEMIC, respect the science, morans!

By January 15, we could be up to 500,000 deaths.

(62,277 posts)...don't work and reduce or flatten the deaths. As it stands now you die if you don't go into the hospital with minor symptoms, and sit in your house until you're literally dying.

(14,593 posts)This picture brings it all back. My wife of 19 years had just left me, and she had the kids that week. Our divorce had been finalized on August 3 that year, and I was still devastated.
I was having problems at work, my wife and kids were gone, and I was depressed. I called in sick that day. Then, I went in that morning to check the news - I forget what site I went to - MSN maybe. It was a long time ago, and it said America Under Attack.
I turned on the TV and saw the second plane go into the towers. Footage of people jumping out of windows. What a devil's choice that would be - be roasted or plummet a hundred stories down to your death.
And there was NOBODY there at home, no one to talk to.
9-11 was one of the loneliest days I have ever suffered through, but my sacrifice, of course, was nothing compared to those who died that day, and then the first responders who came down later with horrible cancers.
Damn.
I know you're trying to make a point, and it is a valid one. I just wasn't ready to see this picture again right now.

(11,572 posts)shooting them is still a crime. Even though they would be dead in seconds, if the ME finds GSW to be the COD, you have committed murder.
If someone says they are two separate legal theories, they can try to convince me.
