Monday Overnight Open Thread (5/22/17) Monday All Day Edition
Quote I
In the United States of America, satire is protected speech, even if the object of the satire doesn’t get it. U.S Senator Al Franken (D-MN)Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Quote II
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue! Senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ)Today's GOP should take heed.
Quote III
Faced with problems and disappointments, many people will try to escape from their responsibility: escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. But today, I propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape. Pope John Paul II
ABC's loss may be another network's gain. Last Man Standing may get new home.
Variety reports 21st Century Fox will seek a new home for the comedy series after ABC cancelled it, despite it being their second most-watched comedy, behind only “Modern Family.”
Studio 20th Century Fox Television is looking for a new home for canceled Tim Allen comedy “Last Man Standing.”
Cigarette advertising = BAD. Face Book data mining = GOOD.
But earlier this month, The Australian uncovered something that felt like a breach in the social contract: a leaked confidential document prepared by Facebook that revealed the company had offered advertisers the opportunity to target 6.4 million younger users, some only 14 years old, during moments of psychological vulnerability, such as when they felt “worthless,” “insecure,” “stressed,” “defeated,” “anxious,” and like a “failure.”
You can't argue about climate change. Climate change settled science! And you'll be forced to accept it.
In addition to this, a London School of Economics (LSE) study has found that 1200 laws designed to decrease the pace of climate change have been adopted in 164 countries — these include 47 implemented by the Paris Agreement. Patricia Espinosa optimistically stated at an international meeting on climate change in Bonn, Germany that now “most countries have a legal basis on which future action can be built.”
It's never been an easy job. And it isn't getting any easier.
According to the Little Rock Police Department, active aggression against its officers is up 134 percent from 2015 to 2016.
That oftentimes forces officers to respond.
“I like working the streets,” said Officer Stephen Gorbet. “You get to see all walks of life… there’s no such thing as a routine stop.”
Social justice advocates show a religious-like intolerance for those with whom they disagree, which sometimes manifests itself in unbridled bouts of emotion:
“I see increasing numbers of so-called liberals cheering censorship and defending violence as a response to speech. I see seemingly reasonable people wishing death on others and laughing at escalating suicide and addiction rates of the white working class. I see liberal think pieces written in opposition to expressing empathy or civility in interactions with those with whom we disagree. I see 63 million Trump voters written off as “nazis” who are okay to target with physical violence. I see concepts like equality and justice being used as a mask for resentful, murderous rage.”
In a former life, a long, long time ago your humble Cob would go on dates. Some good, some bad. Never bad enough where I wanted to sue my date for the cost of it.
“It was kind of a first date from hell,” said 37-year-old Brandon Vezmar, explaining why he sued his date to recover the cost of their brief non-romance in May. The Austin American-Statesman reports today that Vezmar sued the woman last week in small-claims court in Travis County, Texas, seeking to get back the $17.31 he allegedly paid for her ticket to “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2.”
May 22, 1958, Jerry Lee Lewis arrived at London's Heathrow Airport to begin his first British tour, along with his new bride, 14 year old third cousin, Myra. Although advised not to mention it, Lewis answered all questions about his private life. The public's shock over Lewis' marriage marks the start of a controversy leading to his British tour being cancelled after just 3 of the scheduled 37 performances. via thisdayinmusic.com
1968, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Young Girl.' The song which was about under-age sex, was the acts only UK No.1.via thisdayinmusic.com
Did you have a good dinner tonight? Didn't have desert? You can make caramel.
First, you’ll need a half cup of the following: corn syrup, melted butter, condensed milk, white crystal sugar and brown sugar. Then, get yourself a quarter teaspoon of salt, as well. Put all of these ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
Every job has its drawback. Some drawbacks are bigger and more tragic than others.
According to a report from South African news outlet News24, a 51-year-old professional big game hunter met his demise on Friday when he was crushed by an elephant. And hey, I’m sure the possibility of that happening is what made his game so “fun.”
Does your birth year remind you of a movie. It should Oscar winning movies and your birth year.
Which movie you'll cling to depends on your metrics. "Biggest" could mean the blockbuster that topped the box office during the year you were born. Or maybe "biggest" has cultural value -- prestige doesn't get much bigger than winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Or maybe you're a little more thoughtful and need a recommendation. We've got you covered in all three departments. Whether you're 10 or 100 -- seriously, we're not ageist -- everyone deserves a movie they can stream on a whim and call their own. Here are yours (and your friends', and your parents', and your grandparents', and... ):
Ransomware. Inside the digital heist. For a world wide heist it didn't take much in.
Robert Gren had 26 minutes left to decide whether to pay the ransom. It was Monday, May 15, three days after the global cyberattack now known as WannaCry had begun, and a clock on Gren’s computer screen was counting down.
Above the clock, there was a warning: “Payment will be raised on 5/15/2017 21:13:40.”

It has been previously pointed out that if one has "animus" within their soul, everything they say to do is necessarily illegitimate and effectively sinful. This has been unabashedly used to delegitimize anything and everything President Trump has done, is trying to do, may do in the future, most notably with his travel ban executive orders.

Joyce was admitted to the hospital today; she has blood clots in her legs and needs to be anticoagulated. Not sure how long she will be in but at least a day or two. Avastin was canceled but will likely be re-scheduled.
The clots are not atypical side-effects of the Avastin.
Please pray that she may quickly resume a path to strength and healing.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Meh. Not a Bobby Redford fan (Jeremiah Johnson was great though). Paul Newman was awesome!
Midnight Cowboy. Never seen it.
I agree with the author's blurb. The Wild Bunch was the best movie of 1969.
Looks like Nashville is going to the Stanley Cup. 3-1, Preds, 3rd period. Hopefully the Pens can clinch the East tomorrow night!

How did he conduct his experiment? Did he swab the floor for bacteria first as well as the food? Did he confirm that there was bacteria on the floor before dropping the food? And then check the food after contact.
Also the 30 second rule doesn't mean dick when there's dog hair on every floor surface.

and the oldest, who was with her and equally anti-, was similarly warm and loving.
Your prayers and our Father in Heaven, worked a miracle.

He was *so* in love with golf that when he started doing My Three Sons, he insisted the producers shoot all of his scenes in two several-week periods, I think one in early summer and one in late fall, and he would literally spend the rest of the year visiting courses everywhere.
The rest of the cast didn't have a problem with it... except for William Frawley, who was still royally pissed that Vivian Vance torpedoed Desilu's Fred-and-Ethel spinoff because they didn't like each other. He said the out-of-order tapings always left him horribly confused about whatever was going on in each episode.

Saw a headline somewhere the other day mentioning that the new movie (which I have no interest in seeing) retcons out the existence of the xenomorph queen. If so, I get the impression that Scott has decided he's going to "reclaim" the franchise from those who came later. That's not necessarily a problem with the third and fourth movies (or the AvP movies).
But people probably aren't going to be too happy if he's decided to try and get rid of the second movie.

Inspired by our resident highbrow movie philosopher, I spent $22 on the Criterion Blu Ray of Chimes at Midnight, heedless of my previous failed attempts to "get" Shakespeare. I am out to acquire some culture, dammit!
Now I just have to make myself watch the darned thing. I admit that part of my argument for buying it was "these Criterion things become unavailable, and if I never open it, it will probably be worth $50 in a few years."

They explain how Fred came to be a lonely father of three and how "uncle" charlie was coerced into being the housekeeper. very disturbing. there are a couple of scenes that may explain ernie's later drug addiction. He plays evil really well. Some of it was source material, though greatly toned down, for Blue Velvet.

Couldn't tell you. I don't have enough info on it.
The problem with trying to evaluate the Merkava in comparison with other tanks is that it hasn't really done much head to head stuff, and it's designed for Israel's battles which are somewhat different than what other parts of the world expect to deal with. So it's difficult to guess how a battalion of them would do if they had to fight in Central Europe.
As for the Armata, which was mentioned above, the problem is figuring out how much is real and how much is Potemkin Combat System by the Russians. We won't know until some of them see actual combat.
On another note, a few months ago I saw a comment asserting that the US is moving toward a "use drones to spot the enemy at extreme range, and then pick them off with our magnificent main gun" role for the M1A3.

The Brits us a rifled 120 mm gun.
There was a shoot-off with both guns by the US Army, and they selected the 120 mm smooth bore. The Brits were really PO'd , from what I heard.
During Desert Storm, they were getting kinetic tank kills at up to 5000 meters with the 120 mm rifled tank gun.
I think the maximum expectation with the 120 mm smoothbore gun is a little more than 3000 meters.

Plus, with tanks you might be able to convince someone to buy the thing and help recover costs on it. The Russians have been living off of reworked T-72s (T-90) and T-64s (T-80) for decades now. They need something new and sexy to get people buying.

something clanging in the rear. Also the exhaust pipe is puffing out
air when startet up cold and idle. Also, I burned a quarter tank in only
an hour and half of driving.
Any ideas.

Maybe. I suspect it was written that way for a good reason story wise. It had to end that way. It's not like a hell of a lot actually happens, other than Nicholson's character getting taken out, which leads finally to the other two. Without that sudden ending, where would the story finish? It would just peter out, with no real conclusion. It was already an ambling plot of randomness, really. A random heavy finish was needed. If not, they would just ride into the sunset, or lay on a beach somewhere and fail as a story. It was inevitable.

I've owned both. I would buy an older BMW (in good shape) in a minute. I love driving the Audi, but would never buy another one again.
The older BMW's are great fun to drive and you can do a lot of work yourself, but scary in winter (snow), unless you have an AWD version (which used to be really rare). The X-drive (AWD) is more common now in the later models.
I was looking at a late model used Z4 last summer, and it was over $40 grand. Are you kidding me?

On the plus side, I don't feel guilty going through the house and doing a little decluttering. I'm not throwing out anything remotely valuable, just food several years past the expiration date, odd buttons, junk like that. I tried to do this a few years ago and my mother got very upset.
Mrs. Krebs is dealing with the recent move of her folks to a "retirement community" and all the attendant dustups with her four siblings and her mother over who gets what from the things that didn't make the move so that they can clear out the house in order to put it on the market. It's really brought down my opinion of practically everyone involved.
I did my bit for the cause on Saturday by spending four hours cleaning everything out of the crawl space -- mostly lumber and other detritus from past DIY projects. Did it by myself, per my own preference.

You will need to have the timing belt changed out every 75,000 miles, at around $600-700 cost. Stay away from the turbo models as they tend to blow up early. You will be underwhelmed with the acceleration. They handle well though, and will last a long time. Good in crashes too, don't ask me how I know.

Had that happen to me once, as a passenger in a Cessna 185 Skywagon. Canoe lashed to the float, we took off from Back Bay at Yellowknife, NWT, with the intent of flying me out to some nameless lake to try to find some mineral showings from an old prospector's field notes. My work partner was stuck in town for some reason, so it was just me and the pilot.
Pilot said to me, "We just put a rebuilt engine in this plane, so it's good to go." Taxi and takeoff was normal, but when he throttled back after the climb out, the engine began missing badly, and streams of fuel vapor came rushing past the windscreen.
We had enough altitude, so pilot (who was cool as a cucumber) made a 180, and then a dead-stick landing about 2 miles up the bay from the float base. We sat on the dead-calm water, with the doors open, and let the faint breeze push us down the lake towards the dock. Meanwhile, they sent a boat out to tow us back to the dock. Mechanic met us at the dock, tightened the flare nuts on the fuel injectors, and off we went again, problem fixed.

"The sporty Veloster hatchback has three doors, with the right side rear door providing access to the tight rear seat.

In contrast, "Liberals had great difficulty assimilating this idea that a communist would kill Kennedy. It made sense to them that an anti-civil rights person might do it, or an anti-communist might do it, but not a communist."
But that's exactly who Oswald was, having defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 and then spending two and a half years there, and attempting to denounce his American citizenship along the way. Piereson says that his April 1963 attempt to kill Edwin Walker, former army general, anti-civil rights leader, and head of the John Birch Society in Texas says much about Oswald as well. In addition to his anti-civil rights action, Walker also gave frequent speeches calling for the overthrow of Castro. Piereson believes that Oswald's attempt to kill Walker sheds light on why he killed Kennedy: his policies towards Cuba and his leading the nation's other Cold War actions of the time.
"However, that is not how the Kennedy assassination was interpreted," Piereson says, with enormous understatement. Instead, a sense of collective guilt is imposed on the nation through its liberal elites and media. "And this is really the first time that you get on the liberal-left this idea that America is guilty. But this however now becomes a metaphor for the left for everything that happens moving on in the 1960s."
"So how do you get, really, from this place in 1963, where Kennedy is shot by a communist, to '68 where communists like Castro are heroes to the left?"
Piereson believes this could have only happened due to the cultural disorientation caused by the airbrushing of Kennedy's assassination and the attempt to "view it as a civil rights event, instead of a Cold War event."
The conspiracy theories were also fueled by propaganda generated by the Soviet Union and Cuba, Piereson adds. The Soviet Union itself "was very quickly out of the box on November 23, 1963. TASS claimed that Oswald was being setup; and that the real assassins were Klansmen, rightists and 'Birchists' as they called them. They all claimed that it was a right wing conspiracy which brought Kennedy down. And some of them said that Barry Goldwater was responsible.".......
And they blame Trump.
They're quite mad, you know.

There is some non-rinse shampoo for invalids. You can massage it into their hair, but you don't have to rinse it out. At some pharmacies there are really large wipes that can be used if you can't get her to shower.
One of the advantages of Hospice is they will help with cleanliness. Also, there are elder services that you can pay to come in. They charge about $20 an hour in my area. You can talk to them about what kind of help you need.

This is true, but it goes a bit further.
The left believes reality is malleable. Good thoughts produce good outcomes, bad thoughts produce bad outcomes.
So why did Obamacare fail? Or the Great Society? Or any leftwing failure you can remember? Because too many people thought it would fail. If they just thought good thoughts it would have worked.
From the leftwing perspective then, by merely existing, conservatives are stopping utopia from coming to be. How then do you solve that problem? The answer isn't debate hell more people might hear conservative thoughts and make things even worse! The only answer is to remove the bad thinkers...by whatever means necessary.

well, more likely it was not simply a flat but one of the tires was not repairable, gash in the sidewall.
Cars with awd have to have tires with similar diameters. Audis are among the worst for tight tolerances. If you have a fair amount of wear on your tires and try to put one new tire on with three worn tires it is going to put a lot of stress on your differential and repairing or replacing that is going to be a lot more expensive than the tires.

Over the last 8 years the Middle East has become more and more a conflict between Iran and the Sunni Gulf States.
Obama inflamed things by giving Iran billions of dollars and carte blanche to do what they wanted while at the same time creating ISIS.
We've seen under Obama's watch that the Sunni states have been supportive of ISIS (though not publicly) as a way to push back on Iran, or at least keep them busy.
Selling weapons to the Gulf States, and withdrawing our support for Iran might work, if at the same time Trump is privately demanding an end of support for ISIS.

Posted by: Horatio Santos at May 23, 2017 12:13 AM (woKq6)
Far and away the easiest way to do that is replace all four at once, but it's not the only way.
Not all systems require this, sometimes a manufacturer (Volvo) will have both kinds.
Unless you get a *lot* of flats, this usually isn't that often, but it's a consideration when you buy a car (or tow one).
Often this is just one of many factors in expenses and reliability in a car, and they chose the system for reasons (weight, patents, torque rating) unrelated to this limitation.

When I was in high school, my 6 years younger sister liked Puckett/Gap. I was disturbed by this.
But, so many songs of bad morals and impropriety, I wasn't really aware of what they were at the time.

I briefly owned an Audi Fox station wagon, circa 1976. Got it from an ex-roommate who was a huge guy, ran about 300 pounds, and no fat on him at all. Looked like Don Leo Jonathan, he did. The springs on the poor car were all sagged, can't imagine why. I fixed it up, and drove it for a month or two, and traded it off to a pair of lesbian women, who just loved the hell out of it.
I will say, it put a big grin on my face when I pitched it into a corner. A driver's car, to be sure. As long as you don't mind electrical glitches and door handles falling off.

But thanks to my fat fingers and inattentiveness my "brilliant" and lengthy commentary has disappeared. Probably for the best. Here's another most likely lengthy.
I worked in SV throughout the 80s. I was in a position to meet many of the established and new entrepreneurs and the founders of the service and support companies that grew up with them like the Wilson Sonsinis, and Silicon Valleys etc. My interaction was with the "community" and not limited to the confines of one company or culture. It was an exciting time.
Anyway, one thing that has always stuck with me. I met with Steve Jobs a short time before Apple went public. We discussed a possible lobbying organization for entrepreneurs (an idea before it's time) and Steve very dismissively said -- He was busy building a company. He could care less about the government. What did the government have to do with it anyway.
It was a time that the government and the entrepreneur largely saw themselves as separate. Of course, there were associations like AEA etc. but not what is today.
When I look at the entangled sick relationship between SV and WDC today those words are always there. Especially when I look at the horrid horrid Zuckerberg thing who rides on the wings of Soros.
I have had the good fortune to work with powerful and good people in WDC and powerful and good people in SV. And I have seen the powerful, monied and not so good along the way. When you peak with money you want power. When you peak with power you want money. Always has been that way it seems.
I wouldn't give you two cents for the millenial Zuckerberg/Soros SV. It is as much a swamp as WDC. Their leftist, liberal thinking is not thinking at all. I don't think it is a preference for socialism over capitalism. It is knee jerk to people like Soros and the globalists. Zuckerberg and the zuckerbergers are sheeples, water carriers, and providers of funds.
This is not to discount the good and talented people. But the trend is not optimistic.

Get a real Mini Cooper, the one made by British Leyland Motor Company, with no BMW parts in it. Back in the day, 1967, they would get the drop on a Z-28 Camaro in the stoplight drags. Of course, once the Camaro hooked up, it would blow the doors off the poor little Mini, but it sure as hell couldn't corner with one.

So what was the first movie you remember as a kid, one that your parents took you to see?
"Gone with the wind." I didn't get much out of it except the burning of the house, still remember that.
"The Wizard of Oz" - hated it. Scary movie, and I've never liked scary movies. The flying monkeys were going to get Dorthy. Couldn't watch.

Jimmy Stewart played the murderer in one of the Thin Man movies.
Another piece of Jimmy Stewart trivia, this one about his Westerns. In every Western, he always rode the same horse. The horse's real name was Pie, and if you watch his Westerns closely, you'll see the same white marking on the muzzle of his horse. I heard him talk about Pie on Johnny Carson. Supposedly, he was the only one who rode Pie, even though he didn't own him.

So I did that, and remounted the wheels, and torqued the lug nuts to 110 foot-pounds. Also lubed the front end while the wheels were off, because I could. Then I got my rug shampooer out, and cleaned the front seats, and rubber floor mats, which were thickly caked with mud from the last wellsite in November. Got enough dog hair off the passenger seat to knit another dog. It isn't "eat off it" clean, but a vast improvement. Then took it to the car wash, and hosed it off. Looks pretty good for a nine year old ex-cop truck.

No one walks the Scala Sancta. Jesus supposedly walked up them when he was condemned to die. The only way a man goes up them is on his knees. That's tradition, anyway.

Well, having a wheel come loose is scary stuff. Lost one (from this same set) once. No wreck resulted, but I came close to soiling a set of tighty-whities. And when I transferred this set of wheels to the '08, I had one come loose a few months ago. Had to stop, and lacking the right lug wrench, was trying to tighten them with Vise Grips when another guy driving a GM pickup came by and let me use his wheel wrench.
You can bet I will be checking the torque on wheel bolts very carefully here on in.

I never owned a real Mini, but I did have its big brother, an Austin 1100. A touch bigger, with Pinin Farina styling, and "hydrolastic" suspension instead of rubber cones. Hydrolastic linked the front and rear "springs", really they were airbags, together in such a way that pitching moments caused by road irregularities were much reduced. A little econobox with a Cadillac-like ride, and it could corner with the best. City traffic, 30 MPH speed limit, I simply didn't have to brake for corners; it went around them like it was on rails. It was like being in a grown-up slot car.
Engine and transmission were pure Mini, except the engine had a few more cubes displacement. Transmission lived in the oil sump of the engine, and was lubed by engine oil. Quite a marvel of packaging, viewed from a 1960's perspective.

That 1100 clung to the road like it was painted on it. I got it from a friend who wrapped it around a tree in Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC, by driving it insanely fast, and skidding on wet leaves. I paid a whole hundred dollars for it, straightened it out, and put all new bearings in the transmission. That sucker was amazing to drive; front wheel drive, in an era when front wheel drive was very exotic, and that hydrolastic suspension really helped it cling to the road.

My dad had an Austin America, which, I believe, is basically an Austin 1100. I was too young to know or care about the technical details. I thought the day-glo orange plastic Donald Duck he mounted as a hood ornament was the coolest thing in the world, though.
My only foray into British car ownership, thus far, was a '73 MG BGT. Quite the fun car, and I was able to keep it running, most of the time. The demands of a growing family, alas, required more practical transportation...
Still wouldn't mind a Mini or Bug-eye. Unfortunately sometime in the early 90's, IIRC a lot of the British cars got bought up by Brits and shipped back across the pond, causing prices to skyrocket.
If you haven't already, check out the Youtube series "The Binky Project" Two Brits doing unspeakable things to a Mini (swapping in engine and running gear from a Celica GT), but doing them with impeccable craftsmanship and ingenuity.

Oh, here's some weird comedy starring Tom Hanks about holograms. That'll do the trick -- comedy, Tom Hanks, holograms -- nothing even remotely Muslim about that. nosirree.
W.
T.
F.
The very first scene of this "film" has Hanks on a plane to Saudi Arabia completely surrounded by Arabs chanting Muslim prayers. And then he lands -- and the entire film takes place in Saudi Arabia, and Tom Hanks is the only character who ISN'T Muslim!
The whole fuckin' movie was Muslim Muslim Muslim Muslim Muslim, and it had only the barest hints of humor in it.
Then I read the spoilers online halfway through and learned that Tom Hanks, at the end of the film, MOVES to Saudi Arabia permanently and never returns to America!
And the final nail in the coffin: It was based on a book by Dave Eggers, Emperor of Pretentious Assholes.
Basically, I chose the worst possible film for tonight.
Advice: Never ever watch a 2016 film called "A Hologram for the King." Horrific.
Luckily, it was a box-office disaster, I was happy to later learn. Good.

It may just be a difference between those who are de facto not Americans, and those who are de jure not Americans.
May seem like a small difference, but it is a big one.

Saw that Fake News about the Melania hand slap.
After watching the entire clip instead of the 12-second clip the lying MFM is using, it's clear that there was some momentary confusion over the boarding protocol-Melania thought she was riding in one of the other two copters, and she and PDT did that "see you later" low-five thing. It's actually kind of cute. Then a few moments later one of the men guides Melania back with PDT's group because she was in fact riding in the same copter.
No scandal, just Fake News.

Of course the police knew who he was.
He was probably under surveillance or was brought in for questioning and released previously.

If you were looking at the clearance rate from Hey Jackass that includes Police Involved shootings and other justifiable homicides. The clearance rate for murder alone is a smaller percentage.

Probably twice as much as he needs to cut. Interesting negotiating position. Ask for more, 'settle' for exactly what you need.

Posted by: Tim in Illinois at May 23, 2017 05:57 AM (d76uN)
Yeah, I would have guessed that is true. I wonder what the real percentages of someone getting caught is. Unless you shot someone in front of the police, your free and clear. In my area they seem to have very few unsolved murders, but I live in a small town, and not many shootings to investigate anyway.
Posted by: Colin at May 23, 2017 06:04 AM (ALbVH)
It is murder.
Using the Marxist critical theory weapon, aka PC Religion that breaks Western Civ in pieces. The globalists that rule US force their religion into schools and all the institutions. They have the deep state government and MSM coordinating in the attack, with Democrats and other useful idiots all accomplices.
Posted by: illiniwek at May 23, 2017 06:10 AM (TmCOq)
For this years total subtract 7 then do the percentage. There is a pie chart that goes along with the clearance rate.
So far 4 Police involved and 3 self defense. Remember Hey Jackass also includes suspect charged in the initial clearance rate. They don't track, to my knowledge, those that actually get convicted in those murders.
The best guess I could muster comes from a Friend who retired from the Illinois State Police a couple of years ago. He worked in the Chicago area.
His thoughts that were that less than 5 percent of all murders were honestly cleared. So the chance of getting caught is so small as to be worth the risk.
