South Dakota AG Accused of Lying About Fatal Car Accident Last Year
Last September, South Dakota's Attorney General hit and run a man, killing him.
Or, rather: He claims it wasn't a hit and run because he didn't know the thing he hit was a human. He says he didn't know it was a man until he revisited the collision scene the next day. Problem: Prosecutors say the dead man's eyeglasses were found in his car. Pretty sure deer don't wear eyeglasses. From the Washington Post:
Governor Kristi NoemDid he run to take a Teddy Kennedy pause to clear the alcohol out of his system? He says he wasn't drunk, but... One wonders. Here's the video of a police interrogation. I don't know when it's from, if it's from around the time of the incident or if it's from more recently. It starts getting contentious at 1:10:00. They tell him the "face came through the window" at 1:11:00.
@govkristinoem Now that the investigation has closed and charges have been filed, I believe the Attorney General should resign. I have reviewed the material we are releasing, starting today, and I encourage others to review it as well.

Don't you at least get out and look, if only to inspect damage to your car?
Maybe I should read the report or something, but his excuse sounds brazenly bad.
And the glasses inside his car-- just the glasses, no other parts of the victim or his effects? Did the AG find the glasses, take them to dispose of them (to cover up), and then forget?

I knew a person who ended her life because she struck and killed a child, even though the police investigation cleared her of any wrong doing, said it was a "dart out".
I think of her every time I drive around my AO because there are many children and they don't exercise self preservation so well.

you wind up saying things that sets your story in stone and cannot be refuted or explained away later.
And you won't know that you've done it. The Interviewer may not know you've done it until later evidence surfaces.

A good friend of mine hit someone with his truck a couple of decades ago. It was not his fault; the pedestrian was drunk, wearing dark clothes, walking with traffic on a narrow road late at night. The police told him that it was entirely the pedestrian's fault, but it still bothered him for years.

Always loved when Rush would call him The Swimmer. And in earlier years, Rush's website would feature a photo of him with a mask and snorkel. Cracked me up every time!
Anyone else remember that clip Rush used to play of The Swimmer speaking during some kind of rally in the mid 90s? Rush played it frequently. It was something like "After we all do what needs to be done, and you re-elect old Kennedy to the Senate, we're gonna start on the '96 campaign to elect Bill Clinton as our re-elect{unintelligible rambling}"

Yep, about a decade ago somebody hit a man and the man got stuck in the car's windshield. Driver drove home, parked the car in the garage, and let the victim die there. Never tried to get the victim any help, even though the victim was still alive after he was struck.

Perfectly stated. But you left out SCOTUS putting
the final finishing touch on it all this week by formally signaling that
wholesale, nearly comically unconstitutional violation of election
process (state legislatures not allowed to set the rules) is just fine.
Even Thomas' dissent was limp and utterly inappropriate to the scale of
what just happened. posted by rhomboid
=======
Because
I consider that ruling a placeholder for the whole enchilada, which
will take place if/when HR 1 is passed and is placed on the US Supreme
Court's docket for constitutional review. No wiggle room there for
Roberts, Barrett, and Kavanaugh when that case is decided.

Windshield glass has elastic qualities. It does not shatter like the glass in your windows, but stars out, then snaps back into shape.
If a head went through the windshield glass, the glass would snap back and either cut said head off, or hold the body in place at the neck... but no way do you get the glasses into the passenger compartment WITHOUT a whole lot of blood evidence as well.
Whole thing sounds very fishy. Is the cops name Comey?

Why did he revisit the scene the next day? Possibly black out drunk and wanted to check out if there was any damage he couldn't remember. I would also think that there would be damage on his car not to mention the windshield.

If a head went through the windshield glass, the glass would snap back and either cut said head off, or hold the body in place at the neck... but no way do you get the glasses into the passenger compartment WITHOUT a whole lot of blood evidence as well.
Whole thing sounds very fishy. Is the cops name Comey?
Posted by: Romeo13 at February 24, 2021 01:49 PM (oHd/0)
It does bring up the question of why the detective came up with that story. Isn't picking up the glasses and forgetting about them more plausible? Moreover how did they come to this particular story?

There was a woman who hit a dog on my street and she got out of the car crying and blaming herself. I said "listen to me; I saw the whole thing and it wasn't your fault. The dog ran right in front of you and you had no time to react. I feel bad at what happened but you aren't to blame." I think it helped her.

Yeah, this heads into "the coverup is worse than the crime" territory. Okay, sure, if you think you can get away scot free, I see that. But there's all kinds of evidence on the ground, on the car, it becomes a news story, and you'll always wonder if this is the day you'll be found out.
Unless you're, I don't know, trafficking illegal narcotics or have another dead body in the truck or something. Something worse you don't want to get out.
(I'm not saying that's the case here, just that sometimes a small detail leads an investigator to dig a little more and find something bigger.)

FORT WORTH, Texas - A nurse's aide hit a homeless man with her car, drove home with him stuck headfirst in her broken windshield and ignored his cries for help as he bled to death in her garage over the next two or three days, police say.
Chante Mallard allegedly told police she periodically went into the garage, apologizing to him but doing nothing to help.

Because someone is dead, and you caused that death (even if you may not be terribly culpable). I don't know how the law is elsewhere, but in Texas if you do that sober as a church mouse but you are on your cell phone at the time, you'll likely be charged and convicted. I can think of at least one high-profile case like that. I'm not saying you shouldn't call the cops. But you shouldn't assume there's going to be a happy outcome.

I think cops are given some leeway based on behavior and driving. Like: if you're acting heavily intoxicated and driving like a loon, they can still bust you even if you don't test drunk. Maybe you're on something else they cannot test (one of the main objections cops had to legalizing every drug in existence in Oregon).

The only thing I can think of is if the guy was blackout drunk (we call it Thursday), hit the guy, got out, for some bizarre reason known only to God picked up the guy's glasses, threw them into the car, and promptly forgot everything.

He was almost definitely drunk. It's preferable to get a 'leaving the scene' type charge coupled with a 'vehicular manslaughter' (worst case scenario) then to get an aggravated DUI resulting in death in every state I know of.
So, you know, every incentive is for you to flee the scene, let the guy bleed out, go home, drink a few beers, and wait for the cops to show up ("I hit my head and had to have a few beers to take the edge off after I got home. I thought I hit a deer!"). Thanks MADD!

I hit a deer one night - well, actually, he hit me. He was apparently at the side of the road, in some trees, when he decided to jump into the road. He hit the passenger door on my car, and his head swung around onto the windshield, a few feet from me, startling the shit out of me. Stunned, I stopped, got out and looked, thinking maybe I'd hit a dog (big dog lover here, and I wasn't thinking clearly). The guy behind me also stopped, and told me what had happened.

In any case: in a simpler era Fry's was the shit. Pocket protector heaven. Spent many, many hours there.
But later they kinda lost their way. Less hardcore tech, more Best Buy appliances and other crap. They never really found their footing in that model.
And with even Mouser and McMaster-Carr doing next-day shipping as a default there's really no room for a retail space given the breadth of the products they'd have to cover.

Actually he was already pretty Hoganesque with the injuries he had before this, in part because he torqued his frame so badly early on with or without PEDs. Ben's wreck was much worse, of course, and sports medicine wasn't even a thing back them; plus he never regained full sight in one eye.
Tiger's Masters win two years ago was his last hurrah. Augusta is a course very suited to his game and he knew it like the back of his hand.

I'd say so. Multiple compound fractures - his leg is being held together by rods and screws right now. Doctors also said they had to cut several muscle sheaths - to relieve the swelling. He'll be working on walking for the next couple years.

I actually heard some yokel on local sports radio wondering if Tiger would be back for the Masters. Sheesh, are these people really that dumb or do they say this stupid stuff just to be provocative?

My office for years was on Park Blvd in Palo Alto, so the El Camino Fry's was literally 2/10 mile away. Back then Amazon hadn't even started selling books, and with all the animation cameras, film processor, PC's etc. we had, I was always in there for something.
But yeah, it started turning into an "emergency only" place for me anyway. Usually for some sort of cable or similar. Probably 10 years easy since I set foot in one of their stores, but I know a lot of people that still did.
Forgot to mention, Fry's themed their stores as well, one in Santa Clara was all an Egyptian theme. The place had like 30 registers. I think they've probably been on the edge of solvency for a while now. Still, a shame. Wonder what they're going to do with all those giant stores? Each one sits on prime real estate, that's for sure.

She must be a nitwit. By saying something like that, you're giving the original scurrilous allegation credibility.
The way to respond is to ignore it, and thereafter to refer to the Democrat Party as the party of slavery, the KKK, and segregation. Which, of course, it was.

The assessment:
Do I drive 20 miles to a retail store on the chance they might have something approximating what I'm looking for? Or might not, and the trip was a waste?
Or do I order online exactly what I want and have it show up sometime in the next two days?
That question answers itself.

I'd guess there'll be an auction on that stuff. The one by my office was Western themed, so it was pretty dull. But a few of them had some pretty cool stuff. Worth keeping an eye peeled, but I'd guess most of it will be in giant lots.

The one here in San Marcos had an enormous (literally probably 20' across) aquarium in the entranceway, and another one in the lunch area. It was very cool.
I'm so sorry Fry's went under. I was planning to build my next computer myself, and Fry's would have been a big part of that.

The thing about Fry's - at least the one near me - is that it was entertainment as well as shopping. It was fun just to visit. And the chances you couldn't find what you were looking for there were nil. They had everything, including things you'd never even heard of or seen.
My guess: carrying all that inventory ate up cash, and precipitated their closing.

Turned out that a winch used to cinch down a load had fallen off of a flatbed truck. The winch was about six inches in diameter and black, so on a black unlit road in the dead of night, it was impossible to see. Two tires later, the next morning, I was back on the road.

My uncle was killed while jogging many years ago, by a woman who turned around to speak to/yell at her kids in the back seat of the station wagon. Her car actually chased him down into the ditch he jumped into. She shattered her windshield.
THEN she drove all the way home and parked the car in the garage. She took the kids out of the car and went inside. I think it was one of the kids that called the police.
My uncle didn't have a chance. But something snapped in the woman's mind and she just went straight into denial. She confessed when the police confronted her with the broken windshield and the blood all over the hood and bumper. I think she got a hit and run but not the negligent manslaughter she should have.
It happens. Sure as shootin' shouldn't make any difference in consequences, though.
