FYI, duckduckgo literally is bing search results, just anonymized. Saying Bing is better just makes you a corporate stooge.

I took it home, washed it off

And put it back on

I was happy again, complete

People sometimes tell me

I should get it permanently attached

But I don't know

Even though it's sometimes a pain in the ass

I like having a detachable penis

Thanks. I was merely recalling my experiences as a contractor.

As I stated elsewhere in this thread, it appears this was at least manslaughter if not outright murder. Discharging a gun into an opaque door should not qualify as self-defense unless the (alleged) assailants were damned well shooting first.

From the available facts, it was not a clean shoot by any stretch. Im not familiar enough with Indiana law to know how that would play out though.

They were probably trying the wrong key in the door or something.

Pulling the trigger without identifying the target; even had they identified, it probably would not qualify as self defense under law...

I am not well versed in Illinois law, but it does have a "castle doctrine":

In Illinois, the criteria for using force under the Castle Doctrine are outlined in the Illinois Compiled Statutes, specifically 720 ILCS 5/7-1 and 720 ILCS 5/7-2.

These statutes detail when force is legally justified in defense of a dwelling. Force is permitted when an individual reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent or stop an unlawful entry or attack on their home. The term “reasonably believes” requires that the perceived threat be justifiable to an average person in similar circumstances.

Deadly force has stricter criteria. It is allowed only if one reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or to stop a forcible felony like burglary, robbery, or assault. The law distinguishes between minor trespasses and significant threats to life or safety.

IMO, a 5060 Ti 16gb is among the best values at $430.

I was a juror on a federal felony case that took longer to choose a foreman than we took to reach a verdict.

This is something that is technically illegal but actually trivial; someone(s) decided to try to treat it more seriously and had to be argued into not guilty.

Not a lawyer but my reading of it is that, in other context, this fact pattern could theoretically lead to a conviction. It is hard to imagine a sandwich causing actual harm, though, so it is probably unethical to have even brought charges knowing it is such bullshit.

Another country manipulated by propaganda.

Scientists believe they may have identified a little-known algal species called Karenia cristata as the source of the brevetoxins within South Australia's devastating algal bloom.
