What is this article about? Sorry, I was distracted by that unbelievably tight man-bun. Holy shit!

Mid-pallet huh?

There are two rules man, either one is a penalty.

They defined “crown of the helmet” as everything above the face mask. That gif clearly shows contact with the crown of the helmet. At that point, it doesn’t matter whether the ball carrier is defenseless. Hitting a defenseless player is a different targeting foul.

They gave the sequestered jury the option of sitting in their hotel rooms all weekend waiting for Monday or pushing through. Jury wanted to keep working.

This is the best story, I can’t stop laughing

I really don’t know. Lots of unanswered questions. The DA can always charge 2d degree murder later since certainly shooting someone shows intent to cause great bodily harm, if not death. Setting aside all defenses (carjacking, stand your ground), if the jury finds that Gasser’s “blood had cooled” by the time of the…

Yeah I see that too. Kind of hard to “yank the driver out” from the passenger side, but if he opened the door or reached in the passenger window, the presumption would probably still apply.

This isn’t Russia. Is this Russia?

I’m telling the truth but I don’t know how accurate the second-hand information I’m relaying is. I trust the source but I’m an anonymous commenter named peepeedoodoo sooooooooo...

Being in a car (or in a house or business) loosens up the requirements even further than the stand your ground aspects of the law.

I posted another comment but yes, it was added to the “no retreat” statute:
