  • Not the headline in this case, it’s how stupid the concept is.

    In short, Felony murder is if you are commiting a crime and someone dies, you are held liable for it. In some cases it’s half reasonable (Lets say if 2 guys go to rob a store, shopkeeper shoots one of the robbers, the surviving one is considered responsible for the death). But in execution it often leads to some horrificly stupid decisions like, say someone borrows a friends car, uses it in a crime in which someone dies… the damn friend can be responsible even if he had no idea of the plot or the crime that was intended, simply because he in some way provided something that was used in the crime.

    and yeah here, it’s basically depending on maga’s extremely stupid interpretation that Renee Good just was going out looking to cause trouble for ice and tried to run one over. Which so far seems absolutely BS, everything seems to point to she was just driving back from dropping her kids off, got flooded with contradictory orders from the keystone cops, who shot her for being nice in the fray of it.

    It’s bullshit on 200 levels, but at least trying to interpret what the bullshit argument that’s attempted to be made. If you grant all the bullshit claims made by this administration, and you accept this bullshit law felony murder that’s rife with misuse and full of unintended horrific consequences, and you squint, you can vaguely make out something resembling an arguement for it. (again that’s in a fictional world where you are dumb enough to believe what this administration says happened, over all the actual video of the events that blatently contradicts it.


  • and to top it off… if we don’t do it someone else will…

    Umm… isn’t that the whole point of these treaties… Literally the whole concept is superpowers behave with other developed nations because… all other nations are supposed to draw the line after one nation starts making signs of attacking. It’s literally what the lesson learned in the world wars was… was to band together, we did a really bad job for Russia/Ukrain, but I really hope the world actually takes some firm action if trump seriously moves forward.
