Morning Thread (12-16-2014)

Yesterday 10 families affected by the Sandy Hook shooting sued Bushmaster and the entire distribution channel that sold the gun to the shooter's mother. The complaint is an interesting read in that it looks like it was cut-and-pasted from anti-gun comments on Daily Kos.

An example:


Bob followed that up with a good piece on the history of the AR-15 and why this suit is doomed.

Also ... oops:


UPDATE: Somehow the myth that an AR-15 wasn't used at Sandy Hook but was found in the shooter's car still lives on after 2 years. Nope.

5 Good Morning Morons. Today is Tuesday, December 16, 2014. On this day in 1811 a series of earthquakes began near New Madrid, MO (now near Memphis). These were the strongest earthquakes to ever hit the eastern half of the US and among the strongest to ever hit anywhere in the US. Although they were very strong there was little damage because there was very little there at the time to be damaged. This area is still considered to be an active earthquake zone.

9 The Supreme Court has ruled that a search of your car during an unlawful stop may turn up evidence that may be used in court as evidence. I have never understood why this was ever a question to begin with. When did it become logical to trash evidence because a cop violated the law. I say the perp with the evidence should be arrested as well as the cop charged for his violation.

12 The great Lima "shakedown". I posted yesterday that Obama is meeting resistance from congress for his $3B request for this. Today I note that this $3B was not included in the Crominibus Budget passed.


That might be putting it charitably. The BBC described the final agreement as a weak and ineffectual compromise while green groups complain that it actually weakens international climate rules. It turns out most of the nations of the world see the climate change issue as merely a shake down opportunity to leverage more aid money from American taxpayers.


This is all the AGW scam has ever been about.

It's to the point where I don't really care. After two consecutive mid-term landslides, the GOP openly and laughingly kicked us in the groin, peed in our faces and then handed everything over to SCOAMF and the Dems. This is not stupidity. It is collusion.

The only silver lining is the massive landslides have given more statewide seats over to Republicans and hopefully conservatives who do not want this shit and are closer to the electorate, making Article V a much more viable option.

Here's hoping.

I don't think that there is nearly enough time for a viable 3rd party to assemble a slate of candidates (not just for prexy) for 2016. I think we do need to move forward with creating one that is as viable as the GOP (hell, raid them for all the conservatives) as well as move ahead with Article V at the state level. For 2016, we have to find the most viable conservative and get behind him/her as soon as possible. No more circular firing squads. Let Mitt, Krispy, Jeb and Kuntsman form one this time around.

126 So I read the filing. The plaintiffs do not even allege that the "entrustment" was negligent. That seems fatal to the case due to the Federal law protecting those who engage in lawful commerce of firearms.

They spend a lot of time making assertions that may or may not be true. But they seem to be trying to say that the victims were wonderful people, the AR15 is a bad terrible, evil gun so please award us a lot of money.

The attorneys seem to be pretty successful slip and fall types. I don't doubt in front of a jury of liberal Connecticutians that this could win. But I think that the Defendants probably have decent legal power of their own ( note that Remington is a defendant) . They will no doubt file motions to dismiss that point out the Federal injunction against the filing of this case.

136 A little research shows that the "fruit of the poisoned tree" ruling did not come along until 1920 and at that time it only applied to federal cases. Although some States adopted it for State law it was not required by federal ruling until 1961. And yes, it is a pure invention of the courts.


In the 80's the courts applied other limitations:



Limitations on the exclusionary rule have included the following:
Evidence unlawfully obtained from the defendant by a private person
is admissible. The exclusionary rule is designed to protect privacy
rights, with the Fourth Amendment applying specifically to government
officials.



Evidence can only be suppressed if the illegal search violated the
person's own (the person making the court motion) constitutional rights.
The exclusionary rule does not apply to privacy rights of a third
party. However, there is a narrow exception to this standing requirement, the jus tertii standing exception.

The defendant cannot take advantage of the situation (police
breaching rules) to turn the case to his advantage, in face of other
evidence against himself. This falls under the exigent circumstances
exception.

The Silver Platter doctrine which was ruled unconstitutional in the case of Elkins v. United States
in 1960. State officials that obtained evidence illegally were allowed
to turn over evidence to federal officials, and have that evidence be
admitted into trial.

Nix v. Williams
held that if the evidence obtained in the unlawful search would almost
definitely have been found eventually even without said search (inevitable discovery), the evidence may be brought forth in court.

If police officers acting in good faith (bona fides) rely upon a defective search warrant, then the evidence acquired may still be used under the good-faith exception.

157 The case is not going to hinge on the technical specs. They don't say that every round fired from an AR15 is 4000 fps but rather that the AR15 can shoot up to that velocity. Which is true (the above mentioned .220 Swift) if irrelevant.

I am surprised that they failed to explicitly say that the defendants were negligent because these guys are slip and fall lawyers not antigun activists (granted they could be both but they want money here). They seem to be making the argument that selling the AR15 is in itself negligent without saying that explicitly. If that argument held it would have widespread implications.

158 136. With all that whittling down of the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, it is fair to ask if the Fourth Amendment is really now just a paper right without any practical remedy?

Without any warrant the cops can search anywhere, anytime and the court will make it legal after the fact by conjuring up some mumbo jumbo justification for it. (A cop's mistake as to the facts and the law justifies warrantless searches. Heaven help us.)

Don't get me wrong on this. I am not in favor of cops being allowed to violate the 4th and 5th amendment. However, excluding evidence of people who are obviously guilty only punishes the public by releasing known criminals.

The AR-15 that Special Snowflake Shooter had was pumping out .220 swift?

I was never arguing the case would turn on technical aspects just laughing my ass off at the "fluency" of the specious slip and fall tort artists not doing their homework...

Frankly I have no faith in the courts at all, the gay marriage cases showed that activist judges have no shame and are willing to engage in whatever gymnastics their desired outcome requires so every corner of the Bill of Rights now rests on the integrity of as few as 40 people and their pet activists.

If inclined the court system can end the 2d amendment with this case....

and within the next 50 years they will be inclined unless I miss my guess.

180 @sven the Bushmaster that was used was bone stock. Like I said, they filled the thing full of dubious assertions that may or may not be true but are intended to make the reader think the AR15 is the worst thing in the world, ever. They reference military versions that are full auto. Even though this one wasn't. It says that higher muzzle velocities means more lethality (remember I said the assertions were dubious), and so pointing out that the AR15 can be made to have these super high muzzle velocities means that selling one means you could make a super lethal weapon (the implication, not explicitly stated.)

As to the courts eliminating the 2d, well, as much as I am in the Let it Burn camp, the court rulings on the 2d are an area that demonstrate that liberty must not inexorably be lost. And if you believe the 2d guarantees the 1st, that's a good thing.

211 @136 -- 136 A little research shows that the "fruit of the poisoned tree" ruling did not come along until 1920 and at that time it only applied to federal cases. Although some States adopted it for State law it was not required by federal ruling until 1961. And yes, it is a pure invention of the courts

--

Vic -- iirc the Feds were remote and didn't have much impact on the population before The Great War. Again iirc, FBI's predecessor wasn't created until around 1910 --- so a decade or so from that creation of the first alphabet soup agency until the first SC case on abuses is, imho, pretty soon.

So claiming that the courts didn't create the poisoned fruit doctrine for 140ish years is kinda of wrong

Actually it was one of the brake lights. The state law requires A (singular) light. Therefore the druggie's lawyer argued the police stop was invalid.

And the Supreme Court decided 8-1. Which way I do not remember?

Posted by: rd at December 16, 2014 07:44 AM (J7NUM)

Everybody go back and read the actual decision. The Court ruled the way it did because the Cop asked the driver for permission to search the vehicle and the IDIOT SAID YES.

At the point permission for a search was granted the cause for the stop became moot! Had the Cop searched the car without permission or a warrant then the reason would have mattered.

247 @222 Jean like I said the filing is full of dubious assertions. They state that it was stored unlocked. Maybe true, maybe not, but if it were true, that would mean that the mother would be the only negligent one. Maybe negligent.

@sven rumor mills are full of all sorts of info that is also dubious. She was shot in the head four times with a Savage MkII. Doesn't mean that she did or did not buy the Bushmaster for him, but he obviously had access to that rifle without her control, but Savage is not on the defendants list, mainly, I guess, because the attorneys don't represent her estate. The Savage in .22 was bolt action and deadly enough, but that would cut against the argument that the AR15 is uniquely bad.

262 So it begins...

A Frankford man was shot and killed by a Philadelphia police officer during a traffic stop in Mayfair early Monday, a shooting that sparked now-familiar calls for investigations by the dead man's family and others.

The victim was identified by his family as Brandon Tate-Brown, 26, who had spent time in prison and was working for the Hertz car rental company.

At a vigil near where he died, more than 130 supporters and family members gathered Monday night to denounce the police for what they said was an unwarranted killing.

His mother, Tonya Dickerson, likened his death to that of Michael Brown, whose fatal shooting by police in Ferguson, Mo., sparked protests nationwide.

Two uniformed 15th Police District officers stopped Tate-Brown because he was driving without headlights, police said. When the officers approached the car, a Dodge Charger with Florida tags, they saw a handgun on its center console.

The officers asked Tate-Brown to get out of the car, and when he did, a struggle began. He broke free from the officers and forced his way to the passenger side of the vehicle, where he tried to retrieve the handgun, said Lt. John Stanford, a police spokesman.

That's when one of the officers fired, hitting Tate-Brown once in the head, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:05 a.m.

281 Police noticed a Taurus .22 caliber, SAP, handgun protruding from the center console and asked the 26-year-old driver to exit the vehicle, police said. A struggle ensued and investigators said the man forced his way back into the car and was grabbing for the loaded weapon.

One officer opened fire, striking the victim in the head.
The officers called medics who arrived and loaded Tate-Brown into an ambulance but he died a short time later.
Police remained on the scene - closing Frankford Avenue from Magee to Unruh avenues until nearly 7 a.m. - as they searched for clues. They found eight bullets in the gun, which investigators say was stolen in July 2013.

If we are skeptical of the cops and then reflexively back them when the victim is black, it wouldn't be unreasonable for people to think that this is racism.

I am with Mark Steyn on this. The cops kill too many people (and dogs). They have near complete immunity with what they do. And when they do it to support the State instead of the people it is dangerous.

313 What did the police say happened?
Two uniformed 15th Police District officers stopped Tate-Brown because he was driving without headlights, police said. When the officers approached the car, a Dodge Charger with Florida tags, they saw a handgun on its center console.

The officers asked Tate-Brown to get out of the car, and when he did, a struggle began. He broke free from the officers and forced his way to the passenger side of the vehicle, where he tried to retrieve the handgun, said Lt. John Stanford, a police spokesman.

That's when one of the officers fired, hitting Tate-Brown once in the head, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:05 a.m.

330 It could have been good. Strange aboard a generation ship launched 50 years prior they have nitrile gloves and one of the crew duty uniforms is the current USAF service dress with the satin metal finish name tags with a few minor tweaks.

Ship's library is well stocked in everything except books on how to conduct a criminal investigation. So librarian recommends the XO read or watch the works of Raymond Chandler or Alfred Hitchcock.

Ship's captain has a wife. But strangely there is no mention of them having children. And since its SyFy various people are schleping around in other spousal beds.

338 302 Here is a problem. We are skeptical of the police. I have been in court and watched cops lie and they don't get sanctioned for it. If they lie over stupid little traffic stops I don't doubt they would lie over bigger things. If we are skeptical of the cops and then reflexively back them when the victim is black, it wouldn't be unreasonable for people to think that this is racism. I am with Mark Steyn on this. The cops kill too many people (and dogs). They have near complete immunity with what they do. And when they do it to support the State instead of the people it is dangerous.

Great post.

343 .223 has a complicated history. It was chosen because two schools of thought merged at the same time: the "wound shock" people and the "I need to carry more bullets" folks.

But, it became an ok varmint round due to its ubiquity.
Posted by: Jean
---------------------------------

Plus the inclination to develop a much lighter weapon (and ammo) than the .30 caliber weapons that were conceived for use in a European style conflict.

The .223 certainly owes it's all to the .222, which had been around for a long time, and was very popular among woodchuck, ground squirrel, and target shooters. IMHO, that round remains the better choice for that purpose simply because the rifles themselves are better suited to that application.

But that's just me.

386 Another interesting aside about the case filing - they go off on Colt even though it isn't a named defendant. Colt's HQ? Hartford, CT.

This case is going nowhere. It may be in the court for a while (read years) tied up in motions, but, like I said, the defendants likely have good lawyers and no doubt the NRA-ILA would be on board, too, and they ave some pretty high powered talent there, too.

First MTD would be based on the Federal law which should - should - be all that is necessary to dismiss with prejudice. I would hope that the MTD also ask for attorney fees, also, since the Federal law specifically enjoins the case from even being filed - and they don't allege any of the exceptions to that, particularly negligence.

Further down the line would be a change of venue, to get it out of liberalland into a different venue that would have some of Connecticut's plentiful hunters in the jury pool.

394 Well, it looks like I will have insurance by new
year's after all. Only $20 more per month but still, $560/month is more
than double the price of the most expensive plan I ever had to pay for
when health insurance was sold by evil capitalist Joo diamond merchant
money grubber Christ killing infidel media controlling Bolshevik world
subverters.

HA!! Before my wife dropped her insurance, it rocketed from 765 a month to 1165 bucks a month! We are both now on Medicare, sucking off the government teat. I'm considering applying for every damned entitlement program that's available. Screw it. If you can't fight it...... You know the drill.

395 My BSG scene where it lost me was when Helo decides to suffocate the infected Cylon prisoners before the Respawn ship made it into range so it could infect the entire Cylon population everywhere. They could have saved a lot of trouble. And Adama just lets him walk away.

398 The Progressives proved it's far more effective to take over a party and remake it than to start a new one from scratch.

-----------------------------


But, at the time, the dems weren't colluding with the repubs. Right now, to take over any party, one must prevail against the whole DC collective, using a name (republican) that's fully esconced with that collective. To take over the repub party means having to take over the dems also.

399 Fabricating evidence is a felony and cops have gone to jail for that.


There is no slang term for "coming off the bench to tackle a runner" in a football game - it is an extremely rare event in football - only happened a couple of times - so no slang.

The slang term for "tackling the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage while he is attempting to pass" is a 'sack'. There is a slang term exists to cut down on the amount of words used to describe an everyday common event - nobody invents slang for rare uncommon events.

The police slang for "fabricating evidence to use against a suspect" is 'framing'. Fabricated evidence is 'planted'. The gun used to justify a shooting when the suspect was unarmed is a 'throwdown'. The slang for "Police accepting bribery to ignore criminal behavior" is 'being on the pad'.

Do I need to go on? These events are such common every day events that there is slang for them. Some of them are so common that everyone has heard them and don't even realize they are police slang terms.

Sure, in special isolated cases police have gone to jail for fabricating evidence - when their fabrications were so transparent that there was no way to avoid seeing through them; but in the vast majority of cases the fabrications stand up.

Or am I to be accused of being an anti-police troll again for pointing out something which is obviously true?

402 Revealed: Busty Blonde Bill Clinton Was Creepin' On Is Daughter of Major Donor Who Tried to Buy NY Senate for Democrats

Aren't I embarrassed, I just thought she was some porn actress. I mean, that's what she looks like...

These events are such common every day events that there is slang for them.

There's a big difference between slang that develops for stuff that happens so often we just all have a name for it, and stuff that develops from internal use by a small group of people. Popular media can turn a small rarely seen slang term into common use.
