You're sorta kinda going off the rails with scattershot accusations about everyone incorrectly and in a pissy manner.

Aren't you just one hell of a diagnostician? Do you even need to meet with patients to diagnose them? What a time-save that must be.
Where I lose the trail a little is that we have been lead to believe that he has been busy on the front lines of the Covid fight in a variety of hospitals from the inner city to rural areas. Interesting to note that his experiences just happen to fit exactly the expected stereotypes of such areas.

So is he also a highly trained Psychiatrist that is able to diagnose mental illnesses without seeing the patients-or does he moonlight as such or what?
Was I acting as a psychiatrist when I called that kid a sociopath? No, but the kid sure acts and sounds like a sociopath.

"Interesting" that you seem to imply that I am making up where I work, or what I do.

The need to think everyone who is disagreeing with you is just making things up... well it's psychiatrically interesting, let's put it that way. Let's avoid a formal diagnosis since that's not my job and that seems to particularly get under your skin.

More Covid deaths this year than last, by the way. Good job, team.
The "need to think everyone who is disagreeing with you is just making things up" is "interesting psychiatrically" but the need to label anyone who disagrees with you "mentally ill" is cool, right? Well, that's a new one, I'll give you that.

And WHAT!! MORE Covid deaths this year,!!??! Why, it's almost like either the vaccine isn't working, or the numbers are being toyed with. Hmm.Well, at least Biden's ahead of Trump in something.

There's a great deal of evidence for that argument that you just ignore, because you think other people are the "enemy" and are out to get you and your way of life.

But - and bear with me here - we keep track of the vaccinated just like we do who die.

It COULD be that when you have a country of 330 million, it takes a while for the virus to get around. Especially when folks like you are pitching in!

It COULD be that, just like the Spanish flu, the subsequent waves get to more people.

Just some thoughts! It sure does seem like the hospital ICUs are full of unvaccinated folks, but maybe One America News knows different!

Another reason why deaths were lower last year was because of lockdowns, bans and limits on crowded gatherings, increased social distancing and more mask wearing. As we loosened up those precautions, the disease spread more rapidly.

It'll be interesting to see how the civil wrongful death cases turn out. The prosecution had a serious problem here. Under Wisconsin law, they had to refute the defendant's self-defense case beyond a reasonable doubt. (That standard in not compelled by the Constitution for an affirmative defense in a criminal case, but that's reportedly the choice Wisconsin has made.) I seriously doubt that a civil lawsuit will be subject to the same burden of proof, and as we saw with O.J., that can make all the difference. --Bob
Bob, you are a lawyer and you actually wrote this. Who would be the plaintiff? Which plaintiff could survive summary judgement. Who could avoid a counterclaim for malicious Prosecution and abuse of process?
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

The plaintiffs would be the three people Rittenhouse shot (or their next of kin). Admittedly, there would be difficulty collecting a judgment against him now, but I have a feeling he's going to be milking his right-wing popularity for a lot of money.

For those who are content with a legal regime that allows a situation like this to occur without consequence under the criminal law, remember that the same set of rules will apply if the demonstrators are right-wingers and the defendant is an avowed adherent of the philosophy of antifa.

I'm not saying that the jury got this wrong. I'm saying it's probably time to think about changing the law so that the next time this happens, the law points to a different result. It's probably a bad idea for it to be legal for a 17-year-old to obtain an assault weapon, cross a state line in order to go looking for trouble, find the trouble he was looking for, and kill a couple of people as a result. --Bob

Do you lobby to change the law every time a verdict doesn't go your way?
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead. -Thomas Paine
You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality. -Ayn Rand
Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire

You're really an advocate for justice? Of course the result would be the same. You want laws to change because of your political bent? Or you just don't agree with the result?
Wow.
Well, then
