Regardless of the outcome of the appeals hearing, I don’t see how this case doesn’t get thrown out of Federal Court. We are talking about a CBA here. The players agreed to Goodell’s power so what’s there to challenge? The only reason Ray Rice won was because Goodell punished him TWICE for the same crime, which…

Who am I supposed to be rooting for here again? From here I get the sinking feeling that usually only accompanies a voting ballot, the realization that I need to pick some kind of side and sort of hating both of them.

• “The tort of assault is complete when the anticipation of harm occurs.” (Kiseskey v. Carpenters’ Trust for Southern California (1983) 144 Cal.App.3d 222, 232 [192 Cal.Rptr 492].)

Depends. When the video surfaces, we’ll be able to ascertain more of the intent aspect, but the fact that the kettlebell came near his head does not intent make. For example, say Diddy was trying to break the guy’s arm, aiming for the shoulder. Coach ducks, kettlebell misses the head. No intent to kill. Intent to…

It wouldn’t it wouldn’t be the first conversation Diddy ruined with a dumbass beat.

Intent is pretty key with attempted murder. While he most certainly COULD have killed the dude if he had connected, the question would become was he TRYING to kill him when he swung, or was he just trying to injure. Since he almost certainly was going for the latter, and didn’t actually connect with the kettlebell it…

To prove attempted murder you have to demonstrate that there was an intent to kill, or malice. Simply being enraged isn’t enough to demonstrate the lay concept of malice. It’s a pretty high burden to reach, as with most capital offenses.

because this does not meet the definition of attempted murder. If he had actually hit him and significantly wounded him, it would be attempted murder.

TMZ said Diddy was initially held in campus jail, which is just a wonderful sentence.

Moving on 30th; lots o stress as we are still looking for a place. Taking a moment to breathe and Enjoy Killin Floor now that the mmj delivery service has been by. I think the stress is beginning to subside-

This doesn’t need to be said, but I love this (these) guy(s).

Mary Chapin Carpenter wants to be my Girlfriend.

I’ve rediscovered this track lately, so i’ll add it to the mix ... +1 if you’re a Matrix geek who happened over here from io9...

Worth a listen. Opened my eyes-

The U.S. Open was awesome to attend and watch on television, and in the long run great for the local community, even if all those boats burned. The USGA has their system wired tight. Next time around they will have figured out how to address the greens. This one’s for and from Chris Kirk.

The Rascals with “A Beutiful Morning”.

Fugazi!

I wish I had the ability to do justice to how it is to grow up and grow old with the Confederate Flag, starting with a child’s pride in their place of birth and ending with an old man’s disgust that there are people, too many people, who remain willfully ignorant of just how vile the message is that that emblem of the…

Isn’t that illegal, to have any flag flying higher than the stars and stripes?

Not only is it flying over the South Carolina state house today, it’s at full mast, while the state and American flag are at half mast. So it’s flying above the Stars and Stripes. that’s wrong on so many levels.
