Deranged, Violent Homeless Lunatic Who Threw Woman In Front of Train Confesses His Motive: "I Did It Because I Wanted To"
Three cheers for "decarceration," everyone! Everyone give the left a big cheer for murdering as many US citizens as possible in a four year span!
$150,000 bail means a $15,000 payment by this killer and/or his family. The bail bondsman puts up 90%. (If he can find one -- I can imagine bail bondsmen not wanting to risk losing their bond for this two-legged vermin.)
The homeless man who allegedly shoved a woman into the path of a moving Manhattan train made a chilling confession -- telling cops, "I did it because I wanted to," a court heard Tuesday. Markeese Brazelis, 26, brazenly admitted to tossing the 23-year-old victim into an incoming A train at the 168th Street station shortly after he was arrested for the savage Monday morning attack, prosecutors said at his Manhattan Criminal Court arraignment. "I pushed her into the train because I was high and I was mad,'" Brazelis told cops, according to Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Lauren Hatz. "I did it because I wanted to," he allegedly said. Prosecutors said the unhinged man should be held on $150,000 bail -- arguing he posed a danger to the public as this was his third arrest in the subway system in just over a week.
Don't worry about the dramatic escalation in random maniacs throwing women in front of oncoming subways -- it's just a "transitory" increase, I've been told.
Brazelis was busted on Jan. 19 for entering the prohibited area of the Bergen Street subway station -- only to be released and then arrested four days later for allegedly grabbing a woman's butt as she stood next to her partner on a subway platform, according to prosecutors. Both cases, which included charges not bail eligible, allowed Brazelis to remain free to escalate his subway deviance -- culminating in the unprovoked attack at the Washington Heights station around 9 a.m. January 27, prosecutors said. The maniac didn't even exchange a word with his victim before throwing her into the train, according to the ADA. "He poses a threat to strangers he encounters on the subway platforms and he engages in criminal conduct despite being completely unprovoked," Hatz said.

This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze.
It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.
Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction.
The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.

Nearly everyone (whether named Luigi or not) has a low opinion of the Health insurance Industry, who are generally just obstructionist middlemen who jack up prices without contributing anything useful.
So what IS th solution?
There may not be one. We'll have to settle for the least-bad option.

Currently our society is suffering from an excess of empathy, we need to dial it back a bit and be somewhat more cold and uncaring. Not too much, but enough that we can shrug at someone really nutso being stuffed into a facility to care for them without being all tore up about their rights and freedoms.

I think that it would benefit us all if the law would move in this direction. There is really no penalty at all for abuse of the law by prosecutors and judges. There is no drawback for decisions like that judge and so many others have made, putting evil people back on the streets. Until there is at least SOME price to pay, why wouldn't they continue?

No, I'm not blaming the victim. I'm trying to help possible future victims. Obviously scumbags like this Markeese guy shouldn't be on the streets in the first place. But we know they are. Everyone should protect themselves at all times. Like in boxing.
I see so many people standing at the edge of subway platforms, or at the curbs where buses stop. All it takes is one shove and that person could be killed. Just like starlets shouldn't be going to known scumbags' hotel rooms like Fat Harv Weinstein to "discuss a part," people shouldn't be making it easy to be pushed in front of a train or bus.
I stand as far away as possible. My back is against the wall of the subway station. When the train pulls up, then I walk over to the door. If someone tries to grab me, I fight back to kill. Everyone should do the same. I'm not going to be a victim.

The suckers include just about every person in the country, or at least the adults.
Insurance companies don't lobby the government for payment. Oh there are things they are happy to argue for. But providers lobby Medicare to cover the new procedures they come up with so that by extension all the private insurers follow. That's the path. Insurers are a problem inasmuch as they are not insurers. They are third party payers of pre-agreed upon health care services. Insurance has almost nothing to do with it anymore.

This predates Obamacare by decades.
The states regulate the insurance companies. The insurance companies own the drug companies who negotiate with big pharma on drug prices. The same companies often own the pharmacies. Big Pharma is of course completely intertwined in all of this. The biggest insurance companies, who also negotiate the drug prices, are all owned by various levels of government (Medicare, various Medicaids, state insurance plans, etc.) by administered by those same private insurance companies.
Most doctors work for "non profit" (who receive govt grants) or government-owned hospital systems. Etc. etc. etc.
There is nothing free market about our health care system and hasn't been in my life time.

Who was the guy who ran for mayor of LA, the guy who was talking on teevee, telling the newsface the firefighters ran out of water? The newsface said "there's no evidence the firefighters are running out of water," then they cut to the reporter on the ground who said "firefighters are telling me they're running out of water."
That guy lost. He ran as a Democrat, but I wonder what happens if he runs again. You lose because you don't run anybody. A successful election strategy would be to run people with legit issues, until it becomes patently obvious to voters who aren't voting that maybe they have a reason to vote.

The name furlong derives from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long). Dating back at least to early Anglo-Saxon times, it originally referred to the length of the furrow in one acre of a ploughed open field
Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at January 29, 2025 02:56 PM (Wnaut)

If you haven't already, read up on the Tuskegee Study, where they allowed blacks -- almost all of them dirt-poor sharecroppers -- to walk around with syphilis because they wanted to see what would happen.
They could treat or even cure them (in later years) if they wanted to, but they didn't. Incredibly cruel.
You'd think this was a bunch of racist whites running this study. You'd be wrong. It was administered by a black college and employed many blacks.

Back in the 70's there was such a stigmatism placed on the mentally ill that almost all the asylums were shuttered. I guess it was thought the insane could be "treated" with meds and left to their own devices.
Given the number of obviously, clinically insane people there are running loose, I'd say the $500B Trump wants to invest in "AI" would be better spent in resurrecting a national network of asylums.
It's not like there are too few patients to warrant it.

In terms of small measurements, 10 only has two whole factors, 2 and 5. Twelve has four, with 2, 3, 4, and 6. From a logistical standpoint, base 60 beats base 10 easily for flexibility.

I don't think its metric related, just a clumsy college person trying to dumb things down for the "masses" who understand most things better than they do.
Its common in books for kids, who also don't have an idea of the size of wombats or giraffes. Probably goes back to the angels and pins.

I think those Karate guys are probably really good fighters, but the problem is they are trained to fight other Karate guys, in sparring sessions, not any other fighter in any sort of real world brawl.
People mock Steven Segal but he'd beat my ass (at least, when he was younger and more in shape). I have no training at all in combat. But you put an expert like that up against someone who has trained to do nothing but beat your ass using anything at all, he's going down. Hilariously.

Depends on the karate guy and the MMA guy. Some karate guys can indeed fight. It all depends on their training.
There is full-contact martial arts that was very fierce and brutal. I practiced it back in the day. But full-contact, brutal karate sorta morphed into MMA, because that's where the hype an money are.
Some MMA guys are all talk and no action. I see them all the time in NYC. They're the guys with tattoos and flashy dojo jackets.

The issue here is that it is customary here to quote fuel efficiency in terms of distance traveled/unit of fuel. E.G. miles per gallon.
Euroland, inexplicably, quotes fuel efficiency in terms of amount consumed/fixed distance. E.G. liters/100km.
The two measures are reciprocals, leastwise reciprocally related.
But that's not inherent in the metric system. They could have quoted fuel efficiency in terms of kilometers per liter, but for some reason they didn't.

The name furlong derives from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long). Dating back at least to early Anglo-Saxon times, it originally referred to the length of the furrow in one acre of a ploughed open field.
Was selling privately my Mothers rural property as I had to get her into a dementia unit right quick and the buyer was happy about everything except the numbers on the map of the title of the land. It was off to our eyes. Yards, furlong?, cannot be metres as the map was 100 years old or more. It had us stumped until I found a surveyor's measure in the workshop. Chains. Bloody chains was the unit of measure. Literally walked around with the chain measure and verified the numbers on the map. All matched. Sale done and dusted.
