Amazing level of hate for the late Ms. Good. 73, 58, and 40 something posts by the leading haters. Why the hate?

"95% with that shirt, age, is a BRIT." In all English speaking countries a voucher for a floral print shirt is provided with your first government pension check. Thought that was obvious.

"herismatic" Really is vocabulary day on AN today.

Two 3 syllable words. You two take your time in figuring it out.

All the smack that is being talked about Renee Good would apply equally to the organized "protesters" on Jan 6. I guess they should have been gunned down as well.

So ignore it.

We all have our preferences I guess. I work with a lot of Thais who went international school and learned English from a young age. Their English pronunciation is indistinguishable from a native speaker. Generally they have a sort of "mid-Atlantic" accent, neither British nor American. This is in spite of having mostly British teachers. They tend to say that American English is easier to understand, but they haven't been to Louisiana.

I don't blame the Grab drivers, I can hardly understand Philipino "English" myself.

I do respect the impulse for self-improvement of the autodidact or self-taught individual. However unlike a person with formal education, the self-taught person never experiences feedback from experts on his interpretation of things like history and philosophy, Maybe this clip expresses it best.

"The camera was his body camera that they all wear. Clearly you know nothing about these things" I don't think that is correct. Several news accounts have stated it was his cell phone. "I dont debate things I am discussing with someone else, with those that jump in for obvious reasons." Difficult concept but with some reflection you might grasp. AN is what is often referred to as a "discussion group", others will "jump in" as they wish.

Missed the point. Not worth belaboring based on thickness.

Many board members have no doubt committed crimes in their lifetime. Driving while intoxicated, underage drinking and smoking, hedging and/or outright cheating on taxes, talking out loud in the library, chewing gum in class. If authoritarians were allowed to have there way, almost everyone would be classified as a criminal. As an example, if the rule of law and the decisions of the courts are what determines, for instance what is murder, Orenthal James Simpson was an innocent man and did not commit murder. Many here have expressed that they think that the ICE agent only committed murder if the courts say so. In that case OJ didn't commit murder and maybe they would be happy to dine with him and listen to stories of his athletic career.

"The standard is purely objective; the official's subjective intent or belief is not the primary factor. The court asks: Would a reasonable official in the same circumstances have known that their conduct violated that clearly established right?" Intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that the answer to that question is purely subjective.

If someone is at fault it is a 50/50 proposition, so I don't think asking about the truck driver first was such a big deal. You think he has a vendetta against truck drivers or something?

"Legal outcomes don't dictate morality." Exactly. The question is, in the everyday sense of the word, not the technical legal jargon, was it a murder. An unnecessary, avoidable, immoral killing - which is what the word murder describes.

I understand you approve of this killing. Whether the ICE agent is charged with murder or not does not change whether or not it was an unjustified, unnecessary and immoral killing. That is to say a murder.

That is what is up for discussion. Your opinion is noted but it is still just your opinion.

So you think it was sage advice, in the sense that you needed to be told that?

"like it was the last straw or something." Exactly like it was the last straw. Very perceptive of you.

I guess we will see what happens.

If "he opened fire through the open window" it is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that he was to the side of the car's path, not in the path. It was murder by LEO (more accurately, wannabe LEO).

Watched the video. Looks like murder to me. He was busy drawing his weapon instead of stepping out of any possible harm's way. His mistake, killing a white woman, in the good ol' USA LEO can murder black and brown people but a blonde haired, pretty white woman? I think the ice agent just FAed and is gonna FO.

Hilarious from a guy with your board name. Talk about virtue signaling.
