Well it’s over. No charges for her.

I have acknowledged I was wrong and RFK Jr. was stupid enough to say that.
But as I posted above the BlackRock stakes in all 3 of those packers amount to (1) insignificant percentages in Marfrig and JBS and (2) although a larger stake in Tyson, that is a non-influential stake as control of...
Well I guess I shouldn't be shocked he actually said that, but it's crazy because it's just not true.
For example, Tyson is controlled by a family partnership. BlackRock's acutal ownership:
The reason it is an 8.78% fund shareholder is because Tyson is in a bunch of indexes like the S&P...
That's just patently not true. RFK Jr. never said that. As an aside, the actual numbers are BlackRock owns 9% of IBP Tyson, 2% of JBS, and 0% of Cargill, and 0% of National Beef (Marfrig).
Yonkers, Mt Vernon - it all blends
Although FWIW Coyne Park does not have any charm in my opinion. Very expensive for a municipal range stuck in a time machine from 1963.
It's about 35 bucks to shoot there but it seems to be a decent range. Who cares about the attitude on the RO and staff, if they leave me alone I leave them alone.
If you want to talk economics, is spare change and encrusted cat shit worth $50,000?
Because that will be the least possible amount you will need to pay in legal fees even if you are not criminally charged. Investigation, grand jury, and civil suit by the perp's family.
The key definition for "dwelling" in the context of Article 35 comes from the Court of Appeals in People v. Hernandez, 98 N.Y.2d 175 (2002).
Basically comes down to "a person's residence" and "the determination of whether a particular location is part of a defendant's dwelling depends on the...
That is not correct. The meaning of the words "castle doctrine" are to establish that you have no duty to retreat within your dwelling. This is enshrined in the New York Penal Code Section 35.15 2.(a)(2), which reads in relevant part (emphasis added):
A person may not use deadly physical...
Yes of course, I only wanted to point out the law in New York on these points, since I assume most visitors here are NYers.
But I don't think you were saying there is a duty to retreat inside the "castle" portions of your home? That's not the case. Of course the justification requirements...
Just FYI, in New York State the castle doctrine extends to your garage but only if it is part of the main house. A separate structure is not part of your castle. A garage attached to the main house that does not have a passage door into the house does in fact count as part of the castle.

This one merits its own thread. The meme is very misleading about the case.

Was it a good shoot, or not?
tl;dr Man shoots into his closed windowless detached garage through a closed door because he believes a burglary is in progress, killing a young man.

It’s not unconstitutional until a court says it is. And unfortunately no court — including the Supremes — seems to want to say that.
So expect this nonsense to continue indefinitely.
Two assholes with an AR-15 caused the closure of Maidstone in East Hampton.

Parzival is correct that reasonable suspicion is the correct standard. It's from a 1985 Supreme Court (NJ v TLO) case on school searches. Defined as when "there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the search will turn up evidence that the student has violated or is violating either the...
Well the Republicans are on the cusp of victory in this shutdown nonsense. There are not many SNAP recipients in the Republican voter base.

It’s a laughable claim that this saves business money. Unemployment insurance is paid for by premiums on existing workers. That’s an additional cost for this freebie that will now be added to employer side taxes. It both increases patroll cost and effectively reduces the employee salary because...
