Actually, only half ironically. I mean, I actually AM kind of shocked that they killed a white dude.

Poor stupid bastard got shot by the cops without even being black.

So they’re just like normal cops then? Oh never mind, he said middle class.

Doesn’t seem like the Civil War is going so well for them in the early stages.

@Melkerson

I see, so we’re just relying on norms to get people to tell the truth? What could possibly go wrong with that?

No? We’re relying on competent attorneys and good cross-examination coupled with proof?

How does that hurt a witness in a civil case? If you lie, they might make you look bad? Why do you care? It’s not your case.

If you’re lying in a civil case you almost certainly have an interest in the outcome. In any event, it’s outweighted by the fact that we don’t want to live in a society where someone get’s prosecuted every time there’s an allegation that they lied in a civil suit.

If you’re lying in a civil case you almost certainly have an interest in the outcome.

Or you could just be an expert witness who is being paid for their testimony. You don’t really care about the outcome. I guess you do care about not looking like your lying for your personal brand, but that really doesn’t seem like much of an incentive to tell the truth. It’s just an incentive to lie better.

In any event, it’s outweighted by the fact that we don’t want to live in a society where someone get’s prosecuted every time there’s an allegation that they lied in a civil suit.

I also don’t want to live in a society where no one is prosecuted for lying in a civil suit. Surely there is some optimal middle ground between no one and everyone? I’ll even grant you that it’s closer to no one.

They’re not sending their best and brightest.

3. The South rises again

Yeah, #2 is gonna have to be one hell of a step.

I had to look up “MVE”, it’s Militia Violent Extremist.

Apparently they think the FBI will kill you if you have a Punisher decal on you pickup truck.

That was fantastic.
