These are a few of my favorite things

Only in Wisconsin can such a miscarriage of justice occur. Let’s look at the charges and verdicts:

COUNT 1: FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESS HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

NOT GUILTY

COUNT 2: FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

NOT GUILTY

COUNT 3: FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

NOT GUILTY

COUNT 4: FIRST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

NOT GUILTY

COUNT 5: ATTEMPTED FIRST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

NOT GUILTY

COUNT 6: POSSESSION OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON BY A PERSON UNDER 18

Dismissed

COUNT 7: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH AN EMERGENCY ORDER FROM STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Dismissed

I speak for no one but myself here, and I am appalled that this individual got away with murder. Why was 17-year-old there with an AR 15 style assault weapon? Had he stayed home, two people would be alive today. Their lives mattered, and a child took it from them. No one is held responsible for their death, and to blame them for it for going after an active shooter is atrocious, and the people who defend them are lacking in compassion and empathy.

This became a right-wing, Second Amendment case, when it should have been a murder/self defense case. One must remember that when this Amendment was written, there were no assault rifles. Would the founding fathers have written such a law if today’s weapons were available? I think not. Why has it not been ‘amended?’ Research the NRA and campaign contributions.

I cannot wait for the lawsuits to follow. A guilty verdict in this trial required proof beyond a reasonable doubt, while a civil trial only requires a preponderance of evidence, which means a greater than 50% chance that the claim is true.

Please tell me what you think. Keep in mind, I will not accept comments that include divisive language or ad hominem attacks.   

“He’s a very sick man,” the doctor said today. Jim is in the hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Jim had been sick for about a month, but the last two weeks, he just kept getting worse.
He had lost a lot of weight with the cancer, so he wore suspenders to hold his pants up. Jim has a pacemaker in his chest, and the suspenders rubbed against it, causing it to get infected. I kept telling him to call his doctor and make an appointment, but he wouldn’t do it. He was getting worse, not better, and I finally called 911.

Here is what I know so far. His blood sugar is high because of his infection, and his potassium, sodium, and phosphorus levels are low. He is very confused, and the doctor has now order a C-scan for his head. I don’t even want to think about what that means… Did the cancer metastasize in the brain? It did with my mom…
