  Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial

  by Simon in

  anyone following the derek chauvin trial?.

  if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.

  there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

  One of the jurors just came forward and gave an interview to the media. Turns out he is a BLM activist, wearing t-shirts to convict Chauvin. But he told the judge he knew nothing about the case.

  myself 5 and my 2 sisters 4 and 6 years old molested by a 19 year old babysitter in 1975 and no police called, just elders meeting at home and brushed under the table.

  messed up all 3 of us our whole lives in some way or another.

  For 1975, there are indeed statutes of limitations. Even the youngest would now be 48yo, 30 years past the time when the clock started ticking (when you become a legal adult or 18yo). That clock typically ranges from 4-10 years for that era unless you can make the claim you were continuously dependent for that time period.
  That limit has since been lifted, but is not retroactive. Unless they did something that qualifies them for life in prison or the death penalty, you are probably out of time. This would also mean this person is now 65.
  You should indeed contact an attorney to see about potential civil damages from the WTBTS and/or the offender but it will be an arduous process, things will have to be examined closely, expect old wounds that may have healed to be opened. You will also need some form of proof, with a bit of luck one of the younger elders may still be alive, but everyone else involved will have died. Whatever was on paper was probably lost or destroyed since.

  Systemic Racism: What’s Your View? Is it As Pervasive As Some Suggest?

  by minimus in

  the president of the united states says we have to do something about this.

  many politicians and people agree that we are all affected by the scourge of systemic racism.

  what’s your view of this?

  Systemic racism is a circular faith-based argument. You MUST believe that you are a racist and atone for your racism or else you are a racist and should be shunned.

  That is the argument they’re making, everything and everyone is racist and should join their religion. They are literally shunning their family members and friends and coworkers that do not agree.

  They have a priest class of rich black wokesters that tell them everything they should do to grovel and pray. They have religious texts in the form of their anti-racist books and they have communion in the form of Twitter. They even have an end of times prophecy where the dates keep changing in the form of global cooling/warming that will destroy the earth.

  It’s a Kafkaëske argument or witch trial where you can only be found guilty of witchcraft or get killed proving your innocence. And everything they don’t like is fitted with the white supremacy label, because if you look hard enough you can find fault in everyone’s history.

  As some frequently say on here: it’s a cult.

  What Will Happen If You Do NOT Get The Covid Vaccinations?

  by minimus in

  we are encouraged to all, if possible, get the vaccinations.

  if you don’t, we are told that we definitely could get the virus.

  fair enough.. but what happens if you decide you aren’t going to get the shots?

  If you get the vaccine there is a 1 in 50,000 chance that you will not get immunity and only have reduced effects. At that point (if you are that 1 in 50,000) you have a 96% chance of having reduced symptoms and a 4% chance of having severe symptoms (these are guesses made by the scientists). From those with severe effects (if you are in the 4% of the 1 in 50,000 you have a 1% chance of dying). Purely statistically speaking that means a small congregation of JWs may still die from COVID if the entire population of the world was vaccinated.

  All other billions will have full immunity (meaning you can’t get sick, can’t spread it etc).

  Do note that your chance of dying from the flu after a flu vaccine is orders of magnitude higher.

  Here are your chances of dying for various other reasons: https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/all-injuries/preventable-death-overview/odds-of-dying/

  Since the vaccines were rolled out, nobody with the US funded vaccines has died from COVID.

  Covid 19 True Infection Rate / Proof of Misinformation

  by Simon in

  this is interesting.. you've probably heard of "asymptomatic spread" which is, people who are infected with the virus and are spreading it, but who have no symptoms.. but is it accurate?

  is it supported by the statistics?.

  this video analyses the facts and concludes that we've been given misinformation due to faulty testing.

  @rocketman: you can look at the stats in the US and EU. States like Florida that never locked down or did not do any top-down policy cramming have much lower impact across any measure. Compare to high control states like NY and California where crackdowns continue and deaths are a lot higher.

  Depends on the statistics you're looking at. According to PubMed, TB kills about 480,000 persons in India every year which would put them at 32/100k annually. Tuberculosis death rate (per 100000 people) in India was reported at 32 in 2019, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators.

  Regarding the TB, I was indeed incorrect, misquoted from a source, that was not annually.

  The statistics quoted on COVID are annualized. COVID has been going on for 1.5 years if you didn't notice, you can't make a comparison of all deaths in India and give it as an annual rate. Look at the number in 2020 and then the number is 7/100,000.

  How big of a problem is COVID really in a land where there is insufficient food, water and sanitation?

  200 children under 5 die daily from lack of proper sanitation in India. In 2010 the average life expectancy was under 65 years. Annually 18.6 people per 100,000 die in India from lack of sanitary provisions, and 145 infants per 100,000 born die due to lack of medical facilities.

  COVID in India kills less than 7 per 100,000, tuberculosis kills 190 and malaria more than 50.

  That is nearly 7000 infants that die per year simply from sanitation problems. Since COVID started they had 2600 deaths from that. Unsurprisingly a disease that affects primarily people over 65 and obese people doesn’t affect a country that doesn’t have many people over 65 or obese people.

  Sure they may be seeing a bit of a surge but twice the number of kids died yesterday from sanitation problems than any age group died of COVID.

  Perspective is key. If you think COVID is bad where you live, move to India, you probably won’t die of COVID there.

  actors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.

  What was really bad is that they cleared out central station of the homeless, something they won’t do any other day, then built a giant wall to protect them from the public and Antifa/BLM protestors, then had rows of cops standing to protect their little enclave they built. They got $250,000 swag bags for the actors, regardless whether they won.

  
  

  Then they went on stage and created movies to decry white privilege, railed against the cops, the system and support BLM.

  There is a reason the government is spinning this. You'd be a fool not to. I'm in a leadership position and even I have used this thing to get extra funding for my team and goals.

  People that are scared allow all sorts of things, regardless of whether it is good for them or not. People that understand that are your leaders, people that can think straight, come up with a solution and get resources to implement that solution.

  However there are also those leaders that outright lie about these things. You can clearly see from the statistics that the COVID pandemic is for all intents and purposes, over, the reproductive rate is below sustainable. But the government, now drunk on power, doesn't want it to end and the media know this as well, as they say "if it bleeds, it leads" and continue to misinform people on the facts in order to get more funding for their pet projects.

  What’s Your View On Self Defense?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if someone comes to you with a knife or a gun, would you defend yourself if you could?

  if someone tried to beat you up , would you physically engage, run away or just try to talk the person out of beating you up or robbing you?

  if you did have a gun to defend yourself would you shoot to kill or would you simply aim for the ankle to incapacitate the person?

  @joey: what self defense instructor would tell you to give an intruder what they want and hope they go away? At that point they’re already too close to you.

  Guess what: they’ll shoot you or beat you after you give them what they want because you are a witness.

  On the street, you have to be aware of your surroundings. Be aware of how gangs operate. They’ll almost never confront you head on, they’ll walk past you and yell at you when your back is to them. That’s because they know head-on you could surprise them, but coming from the back you’d have to turn around. If it’s one you could defend yourself with a knife or gun, with three or more, you have to take an opportunity after you give them your stuff and their hands are full and their guard is down but before they beat you into a pulp.
