@lashman Good news.

@courtney @spacehobo @lashman They do not.

@lashman Still miffed that the backpack isn't being dismissed. My understanding is they didn't properly seal it after the first search, so there was opportunity to plant evidence.

Even if Luigi did it, the cops screwed up too badly to leave out reasonable doubt.

Hopefully the defence hammers home that point over and over again.

Would also love to know - first thought is SCOTUS made a determination that "stalking" isnt a crime of violence because thats what (men) abusers due to (women) victims. But also probably some mental gymnastics re: rittenhouse?

[oscherler@tooting.ch]

@lashman Dafuq is a weapons charge?

@rasterweb @lashman or a cover for the song "psycho killer" with a little upgrade of the lyrics

@lashman wow! I didn't see this coming.

[dirtyancom@kolektiva.social]

@oscherler Possession of an unlicensed or illegal firearm, is what is most likely in this case, since it was a 3D-printed gun that killed that goober. It could also be any possession if one were legally banned from owning any, such as a convicted felon. Or, say, a machine gun or explosive weapon if one did not have a permit for such.

@lashman yoooooooooo

@lashman Maybe an abstraction of the “Self Defense” or “Defense of others” is at play? The CEO was profiting off of the deaths and suffering of thousands… so…? Maybe?
