It is believed that Iran left the chemicals at the port, because they were afraid that Israel would target them if they moved it to a military base. So they left it at a commerical port.

So Muslims are hiding their weapons of war behind civilians?

There are persons of equal intelligence who speculate that Trump faked his own assassination attempt too.

Don’t the Muslims give monetary compensation to family members who kill themselves in service of murdering non-Muslims? Is that similar to what we see happening here?

You take a female officer to the ground and a male officer has to come deal with you, you can expect a beat down, especially if you are still resisting.

why are we still using the word 'alleged'?

---

Because the accused are innocent until proven guilty (as in convicted in court). They are only alleged to have committed the action, crime, etc. until their guilt is proven.

If someone publicly describes someone as having committed some crime without an adjudication of guilt, or the qualifier “alleged”, they open themselves up to civil claims of libel or slander. You might not be a big enough target on a random message board, but journalists and their employers would certainly be a big target with their large audiences and deep pockets.

Ah, so the democrat “plaintiffs” and the democrat “defendants” will “settle” the dispute and “stipulate” that the law is unconstitutional without having to have a judge actually rule on it.

Wasn’t a similar procedural vehicle being used at the federal level for something a few years back?

Tariffs as proposed are good policy, and I will disapprove if the president lifts them in the name of “negotiation tactic.

Spankings are a good method of discipline and I will disapprove if a father fails to administer them even when the child has started to behave.

Tariffs aren’t a good policy, but the President is using them as a negotiation tool. I will disapprove of their long term implementation.

Spankings are a bad method of discipline but a good way to motivate a child to behave. I will disapprove of the father actually spanking the child when the child misbehaves even though it results in improved behavior.

My experience buying trucks out of state is that they collect Louisiana taxes based on my residency if they are registering the vehicle for me. I’d imagine the same should be true of teslas. If you register it in Florida, Louisiana is still going to want their taxes when you register it in Louisiana.

Well of course the leg is less deadly than the head or chest WTF are you on

---

The point is that if the threat is such that you’re willing to employ “less deadly” force, then why were you using deadly force at all? Suddenly it looks like you were just wanting to shoot a dude who wanted to fight, not defending yourself against a deadly threat. You should never want it to (even arguably) look like you wanted to shoot, or that you shot for any reason other than you were reasonably in fear of death.

Not the slightest effort to deescalate? Dude backed up a few steps, pulled a gun on that lunatic, and told him multiple times to "get down." And only shot him once he was more aggressive (shirt off) and got to within like two feet of him with threats of bodily harm.

---

None of this is untrue. However, the scenario I imagine is the prosecutor, or the plaintiff attorney, asking why the shooter felt the need to stand there in defense of that little square of concrete. What did he plan to do, force the man to lay on the ground and hold him at gunpoint? Make him beg for forgiveness for wanting to fight him? Why did he stop there and not continue backing up? Just because he had a “right” not to back down? If he wasn’t in fear enough for his life to shoot center mass, why was a shot in the leg a better choice than another step, or many steps, backwards, while the guy was taking off his shirt?

If I shoot someone, I don’t want there to be any question as to whether I did everything I could to avoid pulling that trigger.
