So I find it to actually be a really helpful “barometer” of language skill. When I’m in France, if I go in a store and conduct s full conversation in French, I know my accent, word choice, and general language skill is good. If halfway through the exchange we switch to English, I know I either made an egregious language error or I started sounding like an American. If the conversation switched to English right away, I either made a critical language mistake OR I just happened across a very competent English speaker.

It wouldn’t be as easy as it sounds.

A properly tied full Windsor is awfully tight and takes a little wiggling to tighten up into the collar. Considering that the tail is generally put into the loop in the back of the tie, it would be hard to get to. Even if you did grab it, it’s not likely going to cinch tighter by just dragging on it.

Now that’s not to say you couldn’t still just grab the tie in the front, pull it around to the back, and choke the absolute shit out of someone! Using that logic though we also have to do away with scarves, purse straps, and necklaces below a certain “gage”.

I’m honestly not much of a belt buckle guy so it probably wouldn’t get as much use.

Get out of here BBB!

I want the shit out of this pillow

It’s unclear how they even find the dog’s wife, but yes.

Sorry I saw there was a link added but I didn’t see that it’s not the same one I originally read. The posted one has a lot more writer bias in it but also seems to have a firmer timeline of events.

You can think whatever you like. It doesn’t seem cut and dry, even by known and overwhelming prevalence of Texas honor killings and alcoholics who are overwhelmed by 2 glasses of wine.

Indistinguishable facts from just an inexperienced idiot gun owner.

Kid and dad fight in the morning. Kid plans to leave the next day to end trip. They are no longer actively fighting. Dad asks kid if they want to see a gun, kid says sure. They disappear and you hear a single gunshot then dad yells for help.

This sounds just the same if it’s an accident or if it’s done with intent and you CANT know the intent. You can speculate based on character and history, That is insufficient for the legal system.

If there is an active domestic disturbance going on based on witness testimony it’s a horse of a different color.

You’re right.

Luckily there’s no article supplied so you can’t see that the argument and the gunshot are non-contemporaneous.

Thank goodness someone else is here who read the damn article. A grand jury can indict with a simple majority and they didn’t. That means, based on the facts, a majority of people vetted by lawyers for the people and the defense did not think this situation met muster to prosecute.

Of course a bunch of frothing internet randos looking at a twitter image are better suited to judge the case though!

Get a better ad blocker, I don’t pay for BBC and I can see the whole thing. Also don’t be a twat, there’s no need for it.

The Indiana one is super white, super rich, and also super liberal.

Am I crazy for expecting to see the exchange quotes in here somewhere?

You can believe whatever you like, but the title of the article should match the content, and you should read the content before you decide. It sounds like you did read it so good on you.

Based on my read of it, there’s definitely enough reasonable doubt that I’m not comfortable saying this guy murdered his daughter based on the content provided. I updated my original comment to say why.

The article literally says it’s a Glock 9mm. It also says 2 500 mL boxes whoch he claims to have had 1. That’s like 2/3 a bottle, not like a box of franzia. I appreciate being a lifelong shooter (me too), but this was the dudes first gun, and he’s a British immigrant as an adult. All of it taken together, yeah seems like reasonable doubt to me.

You could find the details by reading the whole article.

Then you apparently didn’t read it.

It was a negligent discharge unrelated to the argument. This is a shitty article title and dad is a shitty gun owner and shitty dad tbf, but it wasnt political thing. You can really tell in the comments who read the whole article and who just started commenting. Even the summary doesn’t cover it right.

Edit:

Rather than keep rewriting, this dude is an asshole, however:

1. There was no indictment by grand jury. That means they went through jury selection and heard evidence and a majority of the jurors were not convinced. Counsel for defense AND prosecution agree to jurors, so it’s not like it’s a maga convention or a police department.
2. 500 mL of wine (if verified) is 2/3 of a bottle, not drunk alcoholic rage quantity see 1. If he blew like 0.4, it seems to me it would be reported as part of the article.
3. The guy bought one gun and is a Brit, not a born and raised gun toting southerner.
4. Reasonable doubt. While I’m as big an antifer as the next guy on Lemmy, nothing good comes from jumping to conclusions and misrepresenting the facts of the situation by sensationalizing the title or not putting all the information in the summary. Again, see 1.

No oysters huh?

Just fill it with water. People love indoor pools.
