She’s medically trained, so she knows where to hit him. In addition, there’s a lack of barrier to entering the physical space of strangers and physically touching them just in general. That barrier almost doesn’t exist for medical. The rest of the world, middle of the bell curve, hesitates.

And if she’s done direct patient care at any point in her career, there’s a good chance she has no patience left for shenanigans.

shalafi@lemmy.world on 25 Mar 22:33 next collapse

Everything that led up to the killings was fucking heinous, but in the end, a jury of his peers saw the video evidence and deemed it self defense. I’ve watched the videos and I agree.

“He shouldn’t have been there.”, isn’t a legal doctrine. Still, I’m surprised the prosecutor couldn’t have found some angle there. Isn’t there some, “looking for a fight” idea?

If I go down to my MAGA neighbor’s house, kick on his door, talk shit (non-physically threatening shit) and he attacks me, I wouldn’t feel too safe shooting him. IANAL, but I know the prosecutors were, so I have to bow to their professional judgement.

And whatever happened to his mom or uncle or whoever buying him a gun? I know it was across state lines, but still, the purchase in itself was legal, and you can certainly gift a gun. There was a law clearly broken there, I think Rittenhouse being underage in that state for that weapon? Why wasn’t the purchaser hung from the fucking rafters?!

What is perhaps more heinous is that the little fucker is able to milk his notoriety. He should be shunned by both the anti-gun and pro-gun crowd, no one should give two shits to hear him speak. (He is shunned among liberal gun nuts like me.)

Zagorath@aussie.zone on 26 Mar 01:55 next collapse

He is shunned among liberal gun nuts like me

Sorry, but, umm…you are aware that “gun nut” is not a compliment, right? Nor a neutral term. It’s pretty directly an insult towards people who oppose common sense gun regulation à la Australia. Because they are “nuts”, meaning crazy.

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works on 26 Mar 09:46 next collapse

In my area of California while the crazy element is still present it generally means they mod their weapons in particularly volatile or weird ways, maybe they have an obsession with a particular era of weapons as well. Honestly it’s a pretty informal term where the only useful measurement is that most folks who could be described as gun nuts probably press their own ammo.

So it can be a neutral term depending on region at least, either that or my Redneck is showing. Frankly speaking though I have seen folks (usually yuppies) throw fits because folks have either rare or “scary” looking firearms, apparently there was an incident at a gun range relatively near me where some stupid bitch called the cops cause a dude pulled out a Browning Automatic Rifle.

shalafi@lemmy.world on 27 Mar 00:37 collapse

I think we can rest easy on that. Every time you hear about him now it’s just a laughingstock. I don’t think he’s in a great financial situation, and has completely failed at public appearances so he isn’t going to get political power. He’s more of a painted pony that the repubs can trot out every now and then.

this woman is an HIV researcher, which I think is a step or two harder than ‘old hippie’.

Given her age, it’s reasonable to assume she didn’t just become an AIDS researcher in 2015 and finish out her carreer or whatever. this woman has already been on the front lines of a genocide. remember, there wasn’t initially funding for HIV research, so this woman has done the not-evil version of “fuck the rules, im doing science.” on people she probably had to have human relationships with, who were probably in-on-it and absolutely comrades, and watched a statistically significant (because it needed to be, for the results to be useful, and that was the whole point) number of them die, possibly while knowing everything she and the rest of her team/org/whatever were doing was an incredible long shot.

“Citation” is one of those words that’s always important but has very different meanings.

I work in a government position where I both make code citations in public notices and plan review, and also issue citations summoning people to court for violation of city ordinances.And in my academic past I was published for research on stormwater discharge, so I also have my share of citations.
