The Morning Rant

WHY IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?
I don't understand legal reasoning. Or, perhaps I should say, I don't understand certain aspects about American jurisprudence. For example, civil asset forfeiture. How did that ever become a thing? "Sir, you're under arrest for blah blah blah and therefore we get to take everything we think is connected with your criminal activity, which, whoopsie, is pretty much everything you own. Too bad. We'll decide later if we want to actually charge you with a crime. Meanwhile, good luck trying to get your property back back."

How did that ever pass constitutional muster? I thought "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process" was a bedrock principal of our system of government. So how is it 'due process' when your property becomes forfeit just because some LE agency decides to raid your house?

I just don't get it.

Another thing I don't get is something that happened at the Rittenhouse trial on Friday:

Assistant District Attorney James Kraus pressed for 'a multitude of lesser charges' to be put before the jury when they are sent out to deliberate Monday

The same thing happened to George Zimmerman during his trial a few years ago. Just as the jury was being led out, the prosecution said, "oh, by the the way, in addition to 'A' and 'B' I want you to also consider charges 'C, 'D', 'E', 'F', and 'G' as well." I was shocked that nobody protested what seemed to me to be an obviously sleazy end run around due process. Because if anyone is charged with a crime, they ought to be allowed to rebut the charge, or at least defend themselves. But this tactic short-circuits any possible defense.

The assumption seems to be that the jury has all of the evidence and testimony it needs to adjudicate the new charges. But why? That's not obvious to me. If I were charged with a different crime, I might want to call different witnesses, or introduce different evidence. If I were the defense attorney, I'd be hollering at the prosecutor "look, pal, if you want to charge my client with new crimes, get your ass back in here and argue your case in open court!"

And if I were the judge, I would threaten the state with prosecutorial misconduct.

As I said, this is one of those crazy things lawyers and courts do, and it probably makes sense to them, but not to me. I just don't understand.

If Rittenhouse survives this, he will then face a state and federal civil trials, and that's another pet peeve of mine. Because it seems to me to be another way that prosecutors can sneak an end run around due process, in this case, the double jeopardy rule. In addition, in civil trials, the standards of evidence is not as high, which makes the prosecutor's job easier. Especially in a case like this, where accumulating a "preponderance" of evidence probably wouldn't be difficult. But that's the subject for another rant.

Search me, OM. I have no clue. It shouldn't have. Civil asset forfeiture is appalling. If you want to argue that a person is not entitled to ill-gotten gains and they should be seized, then there's a basis for an argument there - but that presupposes that the state has proven that gains are ill-gotten. This, by the way, is how some PDs have Ferrari squad cars and shit. They're seized from drug dealers.

But CAF can be used on its own. Driving with a large sum of cash? Well, large sums of cash are suspicious, don't ya know. Seized as ill-gotten gains, with a lawsuit with a preposterous title like "The People of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs $23,500.23" Want to pursue asset confiscation following a conviction? Okay, we can talk about that. Asset seizure *without* a conviction or even reasonable suspicion? Fuck you.

Oh I get it - it happened when "Conservatives" decided that oh, this was only going to be used against Bad People and Drug Dealers, so lets wink and let everyone know that it's just fine with us. Amazing that leftists used to kind of be in favor of Civil Rights, but now they are All In on expanding Government Power in any way possible.

We on the right have been on a century long Love Affair with expanding Government Power by allowing Law Enforcement to do whatever they want to do. We are all slowly waking up to the fact that this has been a huge mistake on our part, perhaps one of the biggest mistakes we've made.

Ya see, Christians in the 1700s began denouncing slavery so the Romans had to create a religion to justify slavery since Rome was a Christian nation and Christians said that slavery was wrong. Of course they used the Jews to create the "religion" because Jews aren't Christians and therefore have no problem with creating a religion to justify slavery. Duh.

90 Why dismissing the Gun Charge was so important - the existence of that charge left hanging out there was the one thing that had me (and Andrew Branca) more worried than any other factor in this trial.

The significance of the Gun Charge was that if they found him guilty on that (and the law itself was very ambiguous and the outcome hard to predict) then THAT simple fact of conviction on any criminal matter would have been used to negate his self defense claim on *every* charge.

That gun charge was the biggest wild card in the entire trial. Now it's tossed out of the deck.

The argument is better made for Orthodoxy. Secular authority over the Church was the big divide between east and west(with western Christianity positing that the authority of the Emperor is below that of religious authorities), though the English did it eventually as well. Thanks to Caesar's job as Pontifex Maximus before he became Emperor, the Roman Emperor was traditionally the highest religious authority.

161 Suspicion has sprouted out of the bitterness. Last month, White House aides leapt to the defense of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who was being hammered with outrage by Fox News host Tucker Carlson and like-minded online pundits for taking paternity leave after the adoption of his twins in September. Harris loyalists tell CNN they see in that yet another example of an unfair standard at play, wondering why she didn't get similar cover any of the times she's been attacked by the right.

"It's hard to miss the specific energy that the White House brings to defend a White man, knowing that Kamala Harris has spent almost a year taking a lot of the hits that the West Wing didn't want to take themselves," said a former Harris aide, reflecting conversations last month among several former aides and current allies.

That was the big shift in 2017. THey always were biased, they always were dishonest, and sometimes got ridiculously so, but they simply decided that the truth and their jobs reporting information were irrelevant. All that mattered was pushing the narrative.

In 2004 they decided they didn't have to tell news they didn't like, and in 2017 they decided they didn't have to tell the truth or any news at all.

While IANAL, I was a LEO for a number of years, and I can say with certainly that, yes, this is a bullsh*t run around due process. Most crimes, including lesser crimes, will have completely different elements from one another that would need to be proved in court. You just can't assume that just because you think you proved all the elements for Capital Murder that you can just throw in a Manslaughter charge after the fact . . . you know, just in case the Murder doesn't stick. Gotta prove the Manslaughter charge as well.

And I wouldn't trust a jury to be able to make the fine points of distinction regarding a lesser charge and save me if that happened, even if they had all the evidence and deliberation for a higher charge.

Modern day critics wonder why Paul didn't try to overthrow the system he was in; but they forget that the Roman Government was *already* persecuting Paul and his followers because of that claim. Paul bent over backwards to say repeatedly "no, I am a loyal citizen, so are we all, and in no way are we seeking to overthrow this government." and yet they Executed him for it anyways.

There's a lot of stupid in that original comment. Christianity being created to justify slavery is just the first one. Giving the citizens what they want and making sure they follow the rules = slavery is just as stupid.

356 293 Yasmine today - normal middle-aged housewife look. You don't think all the normal middle-aged housewives looked like they do today when they got married, do you? No doubt many were much closer to Yasmine's youthful looks in wedding photos. Much worse is the plastic surgeon wax-works, bloated lips look that too many have today. YMMV
___________

Looking at Yasmine's 50-something photos reminded me of some recent photos I saw of Paulina Poriskova, who's in her mid-50's. Paulina's face has aged, of course, since she was a young model, but she still looks very good, and she hasn't had plastic surgery. She has stayed in great shape, and from the shoulders down she looks like a woman half her age.

If Yasmine had made the effort to stay in shape, she could probably look quite good now as well.

HA! This is what I was hoping the Judge would do when he allowed the Prosecution to bring in those lesser charges on Friday - rope a dope with the Prosecutor.

To summarize, on Friday he said "sure Binger, you can bring in all these lesser charges since you're worried about not convicting on the big charge."

And now he said to the Jury "btw, if you find self defense on the Big Charge, ignore all those lesser charges."

If the prosecution is not certain itself as to the theory of the crime, how can it possibly argue against reasonable doubt? Either the prosecution is certain (and can prove) what happened, or it is not. You cannot in good faith argue, "Maybe this happened, maybe that happened" and expect a conviction in my book.

406 Decades ago, I was on a jury in a Chicago suburb. Kid pulled some kind of disruption after a HS sports game. There were two charges against him.

The jury (save one assho woman) was as serious and trying to be fair as you'd ever want judging you. The arresting officer seemed like a creep. The kid seemed like a punk. The altercation was pretty much he said he said.

We ended up splitting the verdict. I always regretted that. Should have been not guilty altogether.

Don't tell anyone, but if I'm ever on a jury again with multiple charges on what is really only a single alleged offense, I can't imagine doing anything but thumbs-up or -down.

Mark Steyn has written extensively about this - prosecutors charge someone with nineteen different charges, and it is very tempting for a jury to find some one guilty on "just one or two" of the charges, while dismissing the others, which still allows the judge to put the person away for years.

Other English-speaking countries don't allow that.

Yeah, notice I said she "could" have looked better now, not "should."

I agree that it's entirely up to her. It takes a lot of work to stay fit when you're older, and it may not be something she cares to do. She has apparently retired from acting, and maybe now she just wants to relax and enjoy her life without worrying about how she looks. Nothing wrong with that, if that's what she wants. It's her life.

492 A lawyer versed in the law for this state said on Friday that the being able to intro lesser charges at the 11th hour is a feature not a bug of their state legal system. In the past they were allowing cases to go forward where they were way overcharging the defendant with crimes, so if the jury did have to find them guilty there, was no way to not throw the book at them. Cutting off a head when they really just need a slap on the wrist. Lesser charges were introduced to prevent the punishment not fitting the crime if the crime really was not so bad.

If the judge is throwing out bogus charges, awesome, and hopefully that helps Kyle be pronounced innocent on the larger ones, but does not throw a bone to the jury to still be able to convict him for something, anything.

Still think judge should have called it a mistrial with prejudice when the prosecutor attacked Kyle for his basic right to plead the 5th. But whatever.

Prayers for Kyle sent.

Could be. And if so, that's the only way that Mayor Pete will ever make it into the presidency. Even if he were amazingly competent (and from what I hear, there's no evidence that he is), he doesn't pass the giggle test. So he'll never get a majority of legitimate votes.

What's the giggle test, you ask? The giggle test is when you take some bits of information, put them together, and hand them off to teenagers. If the teenagers start tittering and giggling like naughty school children, then your facts failed the giggle test. A gay guy whose last name starts with "Butt" will *never* pass the giggle test.

If a candidate can't pass the giggle test, a majority of adults will never be able to take him or her seriously, no matter how much they deny it.

And #477 Yeah, the kid did it. No interrupted-housebreaker uses a "reversed" switchblade to stab down into a tenant discovering him in the act. He uses it as he pulls it out of his pocket to slash or stab upwards.

There were other b.s. ideas from the bleeding-heart but I can't recall them now.

558 ...WHY IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?...

Because when asset forfeiture started, morally superior "conservatives" scoffed that this would only ever be applied to druggies*.

*Druggies being whatever drugs the alcohol, nicotine, caffiene using "conservatives" didnt approve of.

559 I doubt 1 in 10 people know he is gay and they could smother that in a New York minute.

I don't think he's known for anything else.

562 ORourke saying, I think most Texans can agree that we should not see our friends, our family our neighbors, shot up with weapons that were originally designed for use of a battlefield.

So the National Guard soldiers surrounding the Capitol City were aiming their battlefield weapons at who?

The Colt 1911, the Barretta 9mm, the Remington 700 are all battlefield weapons. Some could even argue that the most popular plastic guns like the M&P were designed specifically to win a DoD award to replace the battlefield pistol Barretta.

So if I came up with a design of a suppressed full-auto that never saw a battlefield, that weapon is OK?

Are the police all in on surrendering their "battle field" weapons?

563 Well now we know why she was taking all those drugs. It was to prevent her looking like she does now.

See it's not the drugs that do it. It's the doing the drugs and then stopping before you die that then twists your metabolism into knots and you wind up looking like Jabba the Hutt. Hey. Something has to fill those cravings you just stopped with the drugs.

565 I got vaccinated, but with all this insane emphasis on a vaccine that works poorly, I am starting to wonder what they mean by "Finish the Job on Covid!" ?

Well, every question about how to fix X ends with forcing people to take the Clot Shot, so one could reasonably offer that "Finish The Job on Covid" is their Final Solution

569 the "Christianity was created by the Roman Empire" thing isn't exactly the "hot take" you're presenting it as.

It's not widely known, because it isn't super popular to talk about, but there is a reasonably large group of historians that believe this to be true, based on some pretty solid evidence.

I don't necessarily believe it, but it's not the complete ridiculous hogwash that it may appear to be on first blush. And honestly, anyone that wants to have a faith based in understanding and knowledge should know about it.

A good place to start is Joeseph Atwill's "Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus'". He makes a pretty good argument.

I think that Jesus was a real guy, who started a religion, and the evidence in the book was a Roman attempt to co-opt it for their own use, as opposed to them creating it whole cloth. But it's an interesting read.

570 Read the Bill of Rights, with the exception of Amendment 3, Quartering troops in private homes, they ALL have been violated with impunity for decades. And the Pandemic has only made it more obvious.
