Kim Potter Should be found innocent

Tragedy? Yes.      Manslaughter? No

Daunte Wright was stopped for having an expired license plate and something hanging from his mirror.   During the stop the officers found out that he had an outstanding warrant.  He then resisted arrest and tried to flee. 

Officer Potter then shoots him, apparently by accident, thinking she was using her tazer.  

The political district attorney Ellison is overcharging her with first and second-degree manslaughter. However, if you look at the elements of second-degree manslaughter in Minnesota(see below), it does not appear that she should be found guilty because there appears to be a key missing element of second-degree manslaughter: consciously taking chances that will kill or severely harm somebody

Three elements required for 2nd degree Manslaughter in MN

1. Causes the Death-yes

2. Culpably Negligent-maybe

3. Consciously - nope

Wright had at least two previous charges against him and at least one outstanding warrant. 

Case number 27-CR-19-29850 refers to a 2019 aggravated robbery charge against Wright. The register of actions indicates the notice of hearing for this case was sent to the wrong address, but the court did not respond with a warrant

Case number 27-CR-21-4400 refers to a charge against Wright for possession of a pistol without a permit and fleeing a police officer. The court issued a warrant for Wright’s arrest for failing to appear at the hearing. That warrant was active at the time of Wright’s death. 

609.205 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.

A person who causes the death of another [YES] by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both:

(1) by the person's culpable negligence [MAYBE] whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously [NOPE] takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another; or

(2) by shooting another with a firearm or other dangerous weapon as a result of negligently believing the other to be a deer or other animal; or

(3) by setting a spring gun, pit fall, deadfall, snare, or other like dangerous weapon or device; or

(4) by negligently or intentionally permitting any animal, known by the person to have vicious propensities or to have caused great or substantial bodily harm in the past, to run uncontrolled off the owner's premises, or negligently failing to keep it properly confined; or

(5) by committing or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.378 (neglect or endangerment of a child), and murder in the first, second, or third degree is not committed thereby.

If proven by a preponderance of the evidence, it shall be an affirmative defense to criminal liability under clause (4) that the victim provoked the animal to cause the victim's death.

Biden's meaningless jobs claim

The Biden Administration claims they have created a record number of jobs of any president in their first 10 months.  While this may be a factual number, it is a MEANINGLESS claim.

Biden has an economy that is still recovering from a pandemic shutdown. To take credit for a record number of jobs created in the first 10 months of an administration is meaningless as shown in the chart below where you can see that after the pandemic shut-down Trump created 13 million jobs while Biden has only created 5 million jobs.

What is important is the percent of the population that is working.  As you can see, Biden is still woefully short of where the economy was before the pandemic shutdown and it is likely that his increased subsidization of people not to work and his various vaccine mandates are negatively affecting the labor force participation.

Systemic Racism?

In addition to the horrible black on black crimes leading to outrageous numbers of young black deaths there is also a problem that nobody seems to talk about: the disproportionate black on white crime.

Society needs to do something about both of these but if the Democrats continue to propagate the false narrative that systemic racism is all the problem we
will never identify the real issues. 

(Dec 2021) Davide Giri, 30-year-old PhD student in computer science at Columbia university stabbed to death allegedly by Vincent Pinkney, 25, of Washington Heights said to be a gang member based in Queens who was out on parole after serving four years behind bars for gang assault and having 16 prior arrests.

(Dec 2019) Tessa Majors, first-semester freshman at Barnard in NYC studying stabbed to death by two 14 year olds, Luchiano Lewis and Rashaun Weaver and a 13 year old. 

(Nov 2021) Shaoxiong “Dennis” Zheng, a recent graduate of the University of Chicago master’s program in statistics shot and killed in Chicago allegedly during a robbery by Alton Spann, 18,  on parole for a 2019 armed robbery and vehicular hijacking conviction when he was a juvenile and had an extensive juvenile court history.

How is this fair to women?

Lia Thomas, a 22-year old transgender swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, has been shattering women’s records at the school. 

Before her transition, she competed for three years at Penn as a man, named Will Thomas.

If you have a functioning SRY gene you will develop testes and will not have ovaries and will not be capable of becoming pregnant. Then, if you have normal biological functioning, you will have significantly higher levels testosterone and, on average, be bigger, faster, and  stronger than someone without a functioning SRY.  Almost without exception, this means people born with the SRY are functioning males that have levels of testosterone that allow them to be bigger, stronger and faster, on average, than females.

It is unfair in almost all cases for someone with the SRY gene (male) to compete with someone without it(female.)

Did Pfizer and the FDA kill 50,000 and sway the election?

In October 2020 Pfizer stopped analyzing nasal swabs from patients with suspected COVID in their vaccine trial. If they had analyzed these swabs and reached a cumulative total of 32 infections they would have been required to notify the FDA and the security exchange commission and had to disclose vaccine was very effective.  On November 3 they began analyzing the nasal swabs and found they had 94 cumulative cases and on November 8 they publicly announced the positive results from the vaccine trial. 

For some reason Pfizer, after talking with the FDA, decided to try to change the trial design for the first efficacy evaluation from 32 cases to 62 cases. However, until this change was approved by the FDA, Pfizer would have been required to evaluate efficacy at 32 cases. Pfizer would have known that they would reach the 32 cases well before the election and have been required to publicly disclose the efficacy of the vaccine and they would have known that stopping the analysis of nasal swabs would prevent them from getting to 32 cases. 

What happened? The study change from initial efficacy evaluation from 32 to 62 cases was approved November 3. By November 8 they publicly disclosed that they had 93 cases, well above the 32 threshold and even above the 62 threshold. 

Of course they claim there was no political motivation for this and they had no discussions with the FDA about this. Given they are saying it will  take them 26 years to produce the documents related to their vaccine approval required by FOI requests, one has to wonder.

It is estimated that the delay in vaccine approval caused by their intentional delay of analyzing nasal swabs was about two months and may have resulted in 50,000 additional deaths.

Over 92% are essentially vaccinated

The NIH has tested blood samples for COVID antibodies from  1 443 519 blood donations from July 2020 through May 2021 from a area representing 74% of the US population. 

When the results are adjusted to fit the actual demographics of United States they estimate that as of May 2021, 83% of the US population have either been vaccinated and/or had COVID.

With the fact that the antibody tests give false negatives for some infections and more recent blood samples included it is estimated that over 92% of the population has antibodies.

While this doesn’t mean that people will not be reinfected by new variants of the virus overtime, it is highly likely that re-infections will have much much lower morbidity and mortality and that this will become more more like a flu or even hopefully a cold a virus

Brandon’s (Biden’s) Afghan F’ups Cont’d

The Taliban are carrying out retaliatory killings in spite of their assurances to the contrary.

State Department Special Representative and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Afghanistan Thomas West took to Twitter to declare that the U.S. is “deeply concerned” and to urge the Taliban to “ensure their promise of amnesty is upheld.

Facebook Censors Truth

Lomborg was censored for pointing out “rising temperatures have actually saved lives.” That’s because cold weather kills more people than warm weather.

They censored me for saying we’re not in a sixth mass extinction,” Shellenberger complains. “We’re not!

“They’re trying to suppress people whose opinions and whose evidence they don’t like,” concludes Tierney. “They’re not fact-checkers, they’re fact-blockers.”

the social-media giant banned a well-reasoned Post opinion column by China scholar Steven Mosher that speculated about a potential lab leak.

Facebook determined that the only speech allowed on its platform was to declare Rittenhouse’s guilt, not his innocence. 

Right before the election, Facebook completely censored the New York Post’s story published on its cover that it heralded as a “blockbuster” scoop: “smoking gun” evidence, in its words, in the form of emails purportedly showing that Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, traded on his father’s position by securing favors from the then-vice president to benefit the Ukranian energy company Burisma, which paid the supremely unqualified Hunter $50,000 each month to sit on its Board

Now-Mostly Peaceful Shopping and Driving?

Now we have mostly peaceful shopping and mostly peaceful driving to accompany the mostly peaceful protests. 

Is anybody else concerned about where our society is going?

Who's on First?

 

Why don’t these lives matter?

  

Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?

Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists, it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force is bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.) https://moxlosllc.blogspot.com/2021/11/wheres-biden-blm-and-lebron-11921.html

Biden/Dems Trash Constitution

Biden, Democrats and Main Stream Media are attacking the fundamental rights that are a foundation of our nation: pre­sump­tion of in­no­cence, due process, trial by jury, proof of guilt be­yond a rea­son­able doubt.

Biden-“angry and concerned” about verdict

Jerry Nadler (D Chair House Judiciary Committee): verdict ”justifies federal review by DOJ”

Cori Bush (D MS): “white supremacy in action”

AOC: “ system functioning as designed and protecting those it was designed for [White supremacists]

MSNBC: verdict is an outrage and a brazen miscarriage of justice

Kamala Harris: “there’s still a lot more work to do” [To make our system equitable]

Brandon “Bails Out” Birds

Thanks to Brandon‘s inflation NBC recommends skipping the Thanksgiving bird to save money

Biden’s anger?

Joe Biden is angry about the Rittenhouse jury verdict. I wonder how much that anger justifies others’ anger. I hope that wasn’t the justification for the man who killed innocent children. But I know propagating false narratives is tearing our country apart.

Build Back Better Busts the Budget

I am tried of Biden's lies.  

Biden and his administration continue to claim that the Build Back Better Bill will not cost anything.

This is a bold face lie!

There are three fundamental problems with this statement.

First, the Bill as written has been determined by the CBO to increase the deficit by $367 billion.

Second, the bill includes smoke and mirrors and is full of gimmicks. It includes 10 years of taxes but only includes limited years of the benefits they are so loudly touting: Child care, Pre-K, Child Tax credit.  If you include the additional spending of all of these programs for the 10 years of tax collection the Bill adds an additional $2.5  TRILLION of spending and deficits.  The charts below show the total spending, taxes and deficit of the Bill as written and of  the Bill will all programs present for the 10 years of taxes.  There are also two charts that show the components of the spending and their effect. 

Third, the US is already running a significant deficit and it's entitlement systems (Social Security and Medicare) are going bankrupt.  Combining spending and taxing to claim no cost is disingenuous when the US already has many programs that are not paid for.  If the Democrats want to raise taxes, shouldn't they be used to pay for the programs that already exist?

Oh-And this won’t increase inflation?

SS Sucks, Obamacare Sucked, Medicare not Fair

SS Sucks

For those of you that aren’t familiar, your Social Security benefits are based on the average of the highest 35 years of you wages adjusted for inflation. The, in 2021, you will get 90% of the first $11,952, 32% of the next $60,072, ONLY 15% of the next $70,776 and NOTHING for anything over $142,800. 

Turns out you will be 63% WORSE off getting social security than you would be if you would have been able to take all of your Social Security taxes and just invested it in abroad stock market index.

Obamacare Sucked

Obamacare increased my Health insurance premiums from around $6000 a year to over $12,000 per year and it significantly increased my deductible and out-of-pocket maximums. Why? Just as predicted, the design of Obamacare distorted the risk pool of private insurance resulting in higher premiums and costs.  So, my health insurance premiums clearly did not go down, and they tried their best to make it so I couldn’t keep my doctor.

Medicare is Unfair

Unfortunately (maybe luckily) I will be turning 65 next year and eligible for Medicare. As I start looking at my alternatives I was pleasantly surprised to see that my insurance premiums will now drop to a minimal amount of around $2000 per year and that will cover all my medical expenses (except for prescription co-pays.) No more out-of-pocket. No more deductible. 

Obviously, selfishly, I’ll enjoy the savings. But given my financial status and the financial status of our country, it seems like our country is pretty screwed up giving me such low price healthcare. 

 

Crack Sentencing Racist? No Mistake? Yes

Yes. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 disproportionately affected blacks.

No. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 was not racist.

In the 1980’s there was a dramatic increase in violence and crime related to crack cocaine, primarily in black communities. In response to this, and in an attempt to reduce crime and violence in these communities, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 was design and passed with the full backing and support of black leaders and the Black Congressional Caucus. It was supported by Biden, a significant portion of Democrats and a majority of Republicans.

• Congressional Black Caucus co-sponsored and voted for it

• Harlem’s U.S. Representative Charles Rangel help draft the bill

• The United Black Church Appeal, a coalition of African American religious and civic leaders, organized vigils and rallies across New York City to publicize the crack problem and pressure public officials to act

• The Reverend Wendell Foster, an African American city councilman and the president of the United Black Church Appeal, declared, “We are engaged in a new form of genocide.” He added, “As devastating as drugs may be in the white community, they are 10 times worse in the black community.”

• Charles Hughes, African American president of Local 372, District Council 37 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, “…an end to the [heyday] that CRACK dealers have enjoyed until now. Penalties must replace profits for those who are trafficking in drugs and the [high-level] drug [kingpins] must be apprehended and brought to justice as well as [street-level] pushers”

• Anti-drug campaigns emerged in black communities across the United States
