It is not "100% the fault of the government". I already addressed this in the part of my post you omitted: In principle, I would have no problem with them being punished as part of the solution, if that were ever to happen. I don't demand it - but I don't have a problem with it, either. I myself would be entirely satisfied if, by getting the government completely out of health care, they were merely prevented in the future from forcibly warping and extorting the market in their favor. But I would also have no problem with things going further than that, and holding them liable for the favors and fortunes they have willfully used government to forcibly extort from the market in the past - because, as I have said, it takes two to tango, and they are not entirely innocent or blameless for the current state of affairs.

Communism 3.0: Corporate Communism | James Lindsay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyXc_LZtCEE {New Discourses | 09 December 2024} The EVILution of Communism Workshop, Session 4 In this fourth and final lecture in the series, Lindsay picks up the loose threads from the previous two lectures and weaves them together to describe a new Communism for the twenty-first century, a “Communism 3.0” or “Twenty-first Century Communism.” Lindsay characterizes this new model of Communism as the “Chinese model,” derived from the practical implementation by former CCP leader Deng Xiaoping in the People’s Republic of China, where it was tested first. Meanwhile, in the West, a parallel model was developed tracking not just with Deng Xiaoping Theory but also with the Western Marxist sensibilities of Herbert Marcuse, demanding a more “Sustainable” and “Inclusive” economy. Calling the model “Corporate” or “Corporatist” Communism, Lindsay explains how this model of Communism blends a Communist political theory and structure with a Fascist economic model of productive forces, creating the tyrannical hybrid that is intended to be the future for mankind both East, under the Chinese Communist Party, and West, under the United Nations and affiliates. This groundbreaking lecture provides a basis for completely changing the discourses around what’s happening in our world today. Notes (PDF)

We'll probably never know. unless the jurors "go public" about their deliberations. I wonder if maybe they were pissed off because (after their initial "hung jury" declaration) they were forced to continue deliberations on the manslaughter charge - and not just once, but twice. Then right out of the blue, the prosecutor abruptly dismissed that charge altogether (and "with prejudice", as required by law) - rendering the whole thing pointless. All the time and contention the jury spent on that charge was effectively completely wasted - and now, to top it all off, they were being told they would have to go ahead decide the negligent homicide charge, after all. So maybe the few jurors who held out for a "guilty" verdict on the manslaughter charge just decided "to hell with it - if the prosecutor can't be bothered about it, then why should we be?". And I do think it had to be just a few jurors - just one, maybe two or three - who voted "guilty" on the hung manslaughter verdict. If it had been any more that - especially on the high end of the range (9, 10, or 11) - it would have been considerably more unlikely that they would all change their minds, and we would have ended up with a hung jury on the negligent homicide charge, as well. So I think this strange outcome indirectly indicates a strong pro-acquittal sentiment on the jury, with just a few "guilty" holdouts who (for whatever reasons) changed their position for the negligent homicide charge.

As opposed to what? Using a "legal", government-permitted gun to murder someone? (Or even just a knife ... or a rock ... or ...) I'd be more impressed with (and more inclined to believe in the sincerity of) their "outrage" over the killer being called a "hero" if they didn't so liberally (ha-ha) pepper their declarations with such gratuitous qualifications. IOW: The "outrage" of Shapiro, et al. is at least as much of a cynical and opportunistic politicization of the murder as some peoples' use of the "the killer is a hero" thing is.

Excellent! My previously stated hope has been vindicated. #WhitePill According to Nate The Lawyer's video in this post, one cannot be guilty of second-degree manslaughter without also necessarily being guilty of criminally negligent homicide (which is why the jury was instructed to not find a verdict on the negligent homicide charge if they found Penny guilty of manslaughter - a "guilty" verdict for the latter would necessarily imply a "guilty" verdict for the former, thereby rendering the former charge superfluous). If that is correct, then it means that all the jurors who voted "guilty" on the now-dismissed manslaughter charge (which resulted in the initial hung jury) must have gone back on that decision in order to find Penny "not guilty" of criminally negligent homicide. Interesting. Was this a genuine change of mind/heart, or just standard-issue illogic and contradiction?

He didn't do anything to "get away with". But yeah, he is far from out of the woods.

Not Guilty. I'm, stunned, frankly. Maybe the tide is finally turning. https://x.com/NBCNews/status/1866159511943135415 1866159511943135415
