From The Archives -- The Kringlebase Incident
I really should write another one of these sorts of columns for the COVID era. Maybe tomorrow... no promises...
Hope everyone's enjoying their holidays!

Ho, Ho, Holy Cow -- Santa Gets Fighter Escort On U.S. Military Site (Reuters)
A U.S. military website showing Santa Claus delivering his presents while guarded by warplanes has some children's advocates worried.
In a twist to its tradition of tracking an animated version of Santa Claus' sleigh and reindeer as he flies around the globe on December 24, the military is adding the animated fighter plane escort to give a realistic feel to the popular feature, said a spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
"We wanted to let folks know that, hey, this is a NORAD video, and we're the military and this is our mission," said the spokesman, Navy Captain Jeff Davis.
[Note: The above article is real. What follows, however, is not.]
We hereby interrupt our live coverage of Pope Francis leading Midnight Mass this Christmas Eve, because we've got some breaking news from the Pentagon. We apologize for pre-empting our traditional Christmas Eve programming, and promise we will continue our coverage after the newsbreak, on a slight time delay so our viewers won't miss a single minute of the Pope.
We take you now to our Pentagon correspondent, who is awaiting the start of this extraordinary and unprecedented Christmas Eve press conference...
...Thanks, guys. We're here at the Pentagon because of some breaking news involving none other than Santa Claus. Yes, you heard me right -- Santa Claus is the subject of this press conference. What's that? OK, we're going to take you live to the podium for the briefing, where an Air Force public relations officer seems ready to speak...
...Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and my apologies from keeping you all from your families tonight. But we were beginning to see irresponsible press reports of an incident which just took place, and so we wanted to set the record straight before any of these rumors took hold.
At approximately midnight, local time, two United States fighter jets were accompanying the sleigh of Kris Kringle (a.k.a. Father Christmas, a.k.a. Santa Claus -- see your handouts for further identification) as a part of the NORAD "Santa Tracker" program.
These fighter jets invited Santa down to a secure military installation for some holiday milk and cookies. That was the only reason we would do such a thing, of course, and press reports to the contrary are just inaccurate. We did not force Santa's sleigh down, and that missile we shot across his bow was no more than our way of saying "why not come on down for a tasty cookie break?" in a friendly and amusing fashion.
Santa did comply... um, perhaps I should rephrase that... Santa accepted our invitation and proceeded to land his sleigh while, for purely humanitarian reasons, we kept the eight tiny reindeer in our sights with a dandy heat-lock signature. Those reindeer really work hard on Christmas Eve, am I right?
Now, I want to say in response to media reports that Santa was forced to land at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, that the United States military can neither confirm nor deny the sensitive but fully-secure location where this took place. We prefer to only state that Santa was given a short break in a pleasant island setting, and leave it at that.
As to what happened next, I will turn over this briefing to my colleague from the Transportation Security Administration....
...Thank you, and again, I would like to also offer my apologies as to this late-night... or, rather, very-early-morning holiday briefing. We'll clear all of this up as soon as we can, and then we can all go home for a long winter's nap.
When Santa landed, we offered to perform a security sweep on both him and the contents of his sleigh. Reports that Santa was forcibly strip-searched could not be farther from the truth, as indeed not every piece of Santa's traditional red-and-white clothing was removed. After all, we all have to take our shoes and belts off at the airport, right? So why wouldn't we want to exercise the same caution over this flight, which will impact every bit of airspace in the United States? It's only logical, and we'd like to clear up misperceptions and state that at no time was a body-cavity search performed on Mr. Claus. We did, however, think it prudent to use back-scatter radiation devices on both Santa's sleigh and his oversized luggage, in order to assure the American public that there were no bombs or weapons on board. We did have to confiscate quite a number of very realistic looking toy guns, but the media reports of T.S.A. agents stealing all of Santa's presents are just wildly inaccurate. We only had to confiscate a small percentage of the whole, in actual fact, and only to assure Santa's continued flying safety.
And with that said, I would like to hand this briefing over to the Central Intelligence Agency. Jack?...
...Thanks. First, as to the question of why the C.I.A. was involved in meeting Santa, we would like to remind everyone that the North Pole is not actually within the United States, and therefore Santa has always been considered a foreign national, which falls within the purview of our agency. Also, I'd like to clear up the false report that Santa was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and state unequivocally that I.C.E. was not even involved in this incident. We did duly check the authenticity of Santa's visa, but his immigration status never came up in our conversation.
Also, we at the C.I.A. would like to take exception to the term "interrogation" being used in some media reports. This was a friendly chat over milk and cookies, in a secure (but undisclosed) location on a United States military base, that's all. Nothing sinister about that, right? Santa did seem to have a problem drinking his milk, and so we assisted him in doing so. But we strenuously deny that Santa was, so to speak, "milk-boarded." It was nowhere near that intrusive. We merely fed Santa the milk he was unable to drink on his own with a feeding tube. People in the custody... um, strike that... people under the care of the United States must be kept well-fed and healthy, and we were just following this precept, that's all.
Unfortunately, after this incident, one of Santa's hands became free from its restraint... um, I mean, Santa freely and voluntarily made a motion which set his finger aside his nose, and in a blinding twinkle then disappeared. His sleigh was gone from the landing strip, and he appeared to then move so fast on his errands that even our best fighter jets were unable to keep pace or further intercept him.
Now, as to the question of why we -- and I stress this phrase -- invited Santa down for milk and cookies and a little chat -- I'm going to turn the podium over to my counterpart in the National Security Agency....
...OK, folks, we're almost done here, so we'll be able to all get home soon. Although I feel I must pass on a personal message to the reporter from Associated Press, as we have become aware that his wife just called the fire department about a minor blaze involving Christmas decorations, so I would urge him to hurry home. You're welcome.
Sorry for that interruption. The National Security Agency was present at the discussion with Mr. Claus because we have so far utterly failed in our efforts to intercept and decode the "naughty and nice" database used at the North Pole. We felt this would be well within the national security interests of the United States government, not because we are actively targeting children, you understand, but because in future such a database would be an invaluable asset to search when cases of terrorism arise.
Mr. Claus refused to give up the security codes for what he termed his "Kringlebase," instead trying to get us to believe that his secrets were protected by, quote, magic, unquote, and could never be broken by mortal man. He merely laughed when we magnanimously offered to change our name to the "Noël Santa Agency," which we considered a bit disrespectful on his part. I'll have everyone understand that this conversation took place before the milk and cookie force-feeding incident, when we were still pleasantly chatting. Mr. Claus tried to convince us that his database of naughty and nice children was his own private property, and, furthermore, could never be used for further naughtiness in any way. We don't believe this is true, and we said so -- once in our hands, the Kringlebase would be protected by federal law, and we'd only peek into it when we really, really thought it'd be interesting to do so.
While we did not, in fact, secure the database, we think we have a better-than-average chance of doing so in the coming year. We are currently building a massive data processing center in Utah for this very purpose, in fact, and with enough supercomputers working on the problem, we fully expect we will break Santa's encryption techniques any day now. We would also like to thank Congress for the eleventy-zillion dollars they have given us to achieve this goal.
We would, as a final note, like to assure the American public that we are redoubling our efforts to crack the Kringlebase code not to spy on our fellow citizens at all. We are not interested in the vast majority of the data, since we won't have any need to ever query the "nice" section of the list. So it therefore follows that any child can know for the rest of his or her entire life, that we will not care about them as long as they stay on Santa's "nice" list. For the "naughty" ones, well, we are a nation of laws and you've just got to expect some consequences for bad behavior. We'll be on the lookout for just those consequences as soon as we secure and decrypt the Kringlebase.
There will be no question and answer session, as this will be our only briefing on the subject. Until next year, of course. Although early signs are that Santa will likely be unwilling to allow a fighter escort to accompany him next time around. As he seems to have technology which allows him to fly faster than our fastest aircraft, there may not be much NORAD can do about this.
Thank you all for coming....
...And you heard this important breaking news right here on this station. We conclude our newsbreak and take you back to Midnight Mass with the Pontiff, which we resume right at the point we broke away. Thanks for watching, and have a happy Christmas, everyone!

Heh heh heh.
Well I'm a relative newbie to Weigantia so I'm down for some Oldies but Goldies.
Plus this gives CW a chance to rest and recover from the past 500, er, 5 years and get ready to precide over the demise of the American Experiment.

Don't be so pessimistic, dood...
Democrats have only 10 months left in governance..
How much damage can they do before the GOP arrives on the scene in 2022 and President Trump is back in the Oval Office in 2024 (not my predictions.. Talk to the Democrats about those) and undo all the carnage and damage that Democrats have wrought upon this country..
Things are going to be great...Just like they were in 2016-2020... :D
I remember when this commentary first aired... Boy oh boy, Democrats and Weigantians(™michale) were in such a quandary...
They had castigated and attacked Bush unmercifully for his domestic surveillance policies..
Policies I happen to agree with.
Then, when it was discovered that Odumbo had expanded those policies beyond belief, so much so that *I* even blushed....
Oh what a conflict within the souls of Democrats and Weigantians(™michale)....
Their hypocrisy was laid bare... :D It was a heady time....
One only has to look at how the Left treats Glenn Greenwald now to see which path the Left has taken..
Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.
Unsurprisingly, Basement Biden and Horizontal Harris has made the pandemic much MUCH worse...
Termination of unvaccinated health care workers backfires as Biden pledges help amid COVID surge
More than 30,000 health care workers are out of jobs in New York alone due to vaccine mandates
President Biden is deploying military doctors and health care workers to bolster hospitals amid the spike in omicron variant cases. But in the last few months, thousands of health care workers across the nation have been terminated over refusing to comply with vaccine mandates, leaving health care providers in the lurch with staffing shortages while bracing for more patients.
"We’re mobilizing an additional 1,000 military doctors and nurses and medics to help staff hospitals," Biden said Monday during the COVID-?19 Response Team’s regular call with the National Governors Association.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/terminated-health-care-workers-joe-biden-vaccine-mandates-national-guard
And the military ALSO is being depleted by early separations due to our awesome American troops not wanting to be guinea pigs for an experimental vaccine for a virus that has a 99%+ survival rate...
Basement Biden is really kicking COVID's arse, eh?? :epic eyeroll:
Portland Antifa rioter charged with assaulting police has case dismissed after 30 hours community service
Portland, like other major U.S. cities, dealt with a wave of protests and social unrest in the summer of 2020
A Portland Antifa rioter charged last year with assaulting police officers has had a federal case dropped after completing 30 hours of community service, according to court documents.
Eva Warner of Beaverton, Oregon, who police said was also known as Joshua Warner, was charged in September 2020 with felony civil disorder.

Compare and contrast the treatment of Democrat BLM and AntiFa thugs and terrorists to the treatment of 6 Jan rioters whose MOST SERIOUS crime was Interfering With An Official Function....
Felony assault on LEOs vs Interfering with an official Function... Oh the horror!!!! :eyeroll:
Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.

Oh noes, scary big number. Well, how many healthcare workers does New York state have? 1.2 million as of 2018. Does some math... 2.5% of total healthcare workers were let go for refusing to get vaccinated. Good riddance, those who can't handle medicine should not be in healthcare.
Reads article. Oh, it was Cuomo who announced a vaccine mandate for health care workers in New York...
Yup, typical Michale nothing burger...

Nice way to treat people who were, just a few months ago were HEROES in the eyes of tha hateful and bigoted Left Wingery...

Felony assault on LEOs vs Interfering with an official Function... Oh the horror!!!! :eyeroll:
Lets Compare and contrast...reads article:
Warner pointed a laser pointer at officers
intentionally obstructing, impeding, interfering with law enforcement officers engaged in official duties
second-degree criminal mischief
interfering with a peace officer and second-degree disorderly conduct.
Isn't that roughly the same as you allege the treasonous capital rioters did?
But is that true? Did the treasonous capital rioters only "Interfer With An Official Function...."
NOPE. [justice.gov] Completely wrong. I'm seeing lots of trespassing, weapon charges, assaulting officers, theft, Inflicting Bodily Injury on an officer, assault with a dangerous weapon, Engaging in physical Violence, Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct, Destruction of Government Property, Act of Physical Violence..and on and on.
Another nothing burger. You are becoming the the Big Mac of nothing burgers.
Well except for the treasonous capital rioters. Nasty stuff there...
Nice way to treat people who were, just a few months ago were HEROES in the eyes of tha hateful and bigoted Left Wingery...
98.5% heroes. 2.5% diseased dumb asses who deserved to be fired...
Warner pointed a laser pointer at officers
Could have permanently blinded officers.. Do you really hate cops THAT much???
Isn't that roughly the same as you allege the treasonous capital rioters did?
Except as I have already established as fact, no treason was involved..
Another nothing burger. You are becoming the the Big Mac of nothing burgers.
Of course you would think so..

Your "compassion" is an inspiration for scumbag haters, bigots and racist Democrats everywhere.. :eyeroll:
Could have permanently blinded officers.. Do you really hate cops THAT much???
Officers were injured at the capital, but you downplay it as "Interfering With An Official Function.... " Do you really hate cops THAT much???
Except as I have already established as fact, no treason was involved..
Ya, you "established as fact" a lot of stuff that has no relation to the word...
Your "compassion" is an inspiration for scumbag haters, bigots and racist Democrats everywhere.. :eyeroll:
Says the guy downplaying over 800,000 deaths. Eyeroll is right...
Officers were injured at the capital, but you downplay it as "Interfering With An Official Function.... " Do you really hate cops THAT much???
Big difference between a scratch or a sprain and being blinded for life..
Face reality, Bashi.. You can't win this debate.. You don't have any facts on your side..
Ya, you "established as fact" a lot of stuff that has no relation to the word...
Your facts to support this claim?? None?? Of course not..
Says the guy downplaying over 800,000 deaths. Eyeroll is right...
Says the guy who downplays tens of millions of baby murders committed by Democrats in the last few decades...
This is just like old times.. Bashi being wrong all the time and me pointing out all the facts that prove him wrong..
All with laughter in our hearts and a song on our lips.. :D
Big difference between a scratch or a sprain and being blinded for life..
Was he blinded for life? No? Then what's your point?
As for the treasonous capital rioters:
“I have officers who were not issued helmets prior to the attack who have sustained head injuries,” Gus Papathanasiou, union chairman, said in a statement Wednesday. “One officer has two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake, to name some of the injuries.”
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/police-union-says-140-officers-injured-in-capitol-riot/ar-BB1d9G35
Sounds like a bit more than "a scratch or a sprain". Again, Do you really hate cops THAT much???
Face reality, Bashi.. You can't win this debate.. You don't have any facts on your side..
Aww, conceding already?
Says the guy who downplays tens of millions of baby murders committed by Democrats in the last few decades...
Now that's a change of subject that just smells of desperation...
Just like old times. You post articles for the headline that you refuse to read that then prove me right on actual reading...
Yea, yea, yea... That's ALWAYS yer claim..
Yet you STILL don't have the facts to back them up.. :D
You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if they gave you some cash
The more I think about it old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers kill 'em tonight
Don't want to work you want to live like a king
But the big bad world doesn't owe you a thing
-Get Over It, THE EAGLES
:D
Aww, conceding already?
Yes, I am conceding you don't have any facts.. :D
Dude, you have no idea what a fact even is...
On a side note: I now live in the Portland metro. The right wing anti-Portland propaganda is just so wrong but the running joke here is there is a silver lining: The propaganda is so bad that everyone's Trumpateer relatives are to afraid to visit...
Oh I am very familiar with Portland.. It's a shithole...
Spent about 15 years in the area.. Left right after the Great Willamette Floods of '96..
It's also where AntiFa got it's start.. Rose City AntiFa.. 2007...
Like I said.. Shithole...
Dude, you have no idea what a fact even is...
And yet, *I* always have them...
And you *NEVER* have any... :D
And yet still better than what I have seen of Florida...
Don't like anti-fascists? Why not? Are you pro-fascism or something...
And yet, *I* always have them...
And you *NEVER* have any... :D
Or at least that's your delusion...
And yet still better than what I have seen of Florida...
Not factually accurate..
How many riots and attacks on government buildings in the last 22 years in Portland vs how many riots and attacks on government buildings in ALL of Florida.. :D
Don't like anti-fascists? Why not? Are you pro-fascism or something...
Democrats' AntiFa is to REAL Anti-Facism what the Democratic Republic of North Korea is to REAL democracy..
For the comprehension impaired, such as yerself.. :D, that means that, despite their name and claim, the Democrats' AntiFa is as FASCIST as they come... The facts prove this beyond any doubt...
But I understand how you could be fooled... Lenin and his 'useful idiots' and all that... :D
Democrats' AntiFa is to REAL Anti-Facism what the Democratic Republic of North Korea is to REAL democracy..
Israel is a REAL Anti Facist government..
Go ahead.. Tell me that the Democrats' AntiFa is like the Israeli government.. I double-dog dare you...
Not factually accurate..
Further proof you have no idea what the word means. Let's just say "Florida man..." A huge subject of the most depraved acts...
Democrats' AntiFa is to REAL Anti-Facism what the Democratic Republic of North Korea is to REAL democracy..
I see you have bought in to the right wing anti-Portland propaganda...
And progressives are thrown under the bus by a prominent Democrat... :D
Hillary Clinton takes shot at progressive Democrats, suggests they could cause 2022 election losses
Democrats' concerns over midterms continue to grow amid wave of retirements and party infighting
Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took at shot at progressive Democrats this month, appearing to blame them for the inability of the Democrat-controlled Congress to "get things done," and suggesting they could be the cause of potential party losses in the 2022 midterm elections.
During an interview with MSNBC's Willie Geist that took place earlier this month and aired in part on Thursday, Clinton implored Democrats to start thinking about the party's ability to win elections overall and not just in deep-blue districts where they were assured victory.
Geist turned the interview's attention to the topic, asking Clinton what she saw as the current state of the Democratic Party.
"I think that it is a time for some careful thinking about what wins elections, and not just in deep-blue districts where a Democrat and a liberal Democrat, or so-called progressive Democrat, is going to win," Clinton said. "I understand why people want to argue for their priorities. That’s what they believe they were elected to do."
https://www.foxnews.com/media/hillary-clinton-progressive-democrats-suggests-2022-election-losses
Time ta face reality...
Progressives have destroyed the Democrat Party...
Further proof you have no idea what the word means. Let's just say "Florida man..." A huge subject of the most depraved acts...
Whatever you have to tell yourself to make it thru the small and pathetic existence in the AntiFa capital of the world...
I see you have bought in to the right wing anti-Portland propaganda...
Sorry, son.. Been there and done that.. I cracked quite a few heads in Portland.. I know first-hand what a shithole it is...
Of course a progressive would BRAG about the hellhole that is Portland...
But I know better.. :D
Whatever you have to tell yourself to make it thru the small and pathetic existence in the AntiFa capital of the world...
My mistake..
Portland is the FASCIST capital of the world in the here and now...
:D
I'm proud to part of the Anti-fascist capital of the world.
Plus we get snow...
My mistake..
Portland is the FASCIST capital of the world in the here and now...
No, you got it right the first time...
Sorry, son.. Been there and done that.. I cracked quite a few heads in Portland.. I know first-hand what a shithole it is...
It improved considerably once you left :D
[32]to be part
It improved considerably once you left :D
Yes, the riots and attacks on cops certainly got more prevalent.. You must be in hog heaven... :D
Plus we get snow...
OK, now that's just MEAN!!! :D
"Try and keep 'em above the belt!!"
-Jim Carrey, LIAR LIAR
How apropos... :D
No, you got it right the first time...
Democrats' AntiFa is to REAL anti fascism what the Democratic Republic Of North Korea is to REAL Democracy and a REAL Republic...
But it's not surprising to see Democrats identifying with the fascists of North Korea.... I mean, the Democrat Party *IS* the Party that gave this country the KKK and Jim Crow and actually started a civil war so the Democrats could keep their slaves.. :^/
See, now THIS is bullshit!
Kim Potter's juror: She made an honest mistake but is still responsible
The juror explained no one felt Potter was a racist
The juror told KARE-TV's Raguse that jurors didn't feel Potter lied on the stand and instead felt she was fighting for her life. But the jury generally thought that Potter should have known she was holding a pistol and not a stun gun given her years of police experience. The juror said a turning point in deliberations came when jurors handled Potter's stun gun and pistol and felt the differences.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/juror-kim-potter-honest-mistake-responsible
That's a bullshit comparison..
Let the jurors wear the equipment on their duty belts for 26 years... Practicing drawing, aiming and firing the weapon for 100% of that time and drawing, aiming and firing the taser for a TENTH of that time..
THEN... Have some dirtbag moving to kill the jurors' child and give the jurors a SPLIT second to decide which to draw.. *ANY* hesitation means that the jurors' child is killed..
THAT would be a legitimate comparison..
And I guaran-frakin'-tee that *EVERY* frakin' juror would draw their weapon and fire and NOT their taser..
Frakin' morons...
The simple fact is, it was irrelevant that Officer Potter drew her weapon and not her taser.. Based on everything Potter knew at the time, her partner's life was in danger...
Deadly force was not only authorized, it was OBLIGATED... It was REQUIRED...
This will be reversed on appeal...
Liz,
You can add that $50 to Joshua's great charity, okay?

I honestly don't mind...
It's as worthy as any.. I don't think anyone here in Weigantia(™michale) would begrudge ya.... :D

AHA!
I JUST STUMBLED ACROSS a way to enjoy the Weigantia that I love and even get enjoyment (rather than annoyance) out of the delusional self-centered spam from our twin trolls.
I SIMPLY skip through their posts -- they often make it so easy with their boldified ALL CAPS...
READ everyone else, natch. While Weigantians I disagree with like C.R. Stucki are serious, these clowns plainly are not.
SO when you get suckered into giving them attention, yes, I'll have to read whatever you quote but instantly followed by your (hopefully) gratifying body slam. I think of it as a highlight reel that skips all but the most spankable lowlights...much more efficient AND enjoyable!
SO BY ALL MEANS let 'em have it! When I feel the need to channel my inner Pro Wrestling Commentator I promise to bestow BEST BODY SLAM OF THE DAY/WEEK/MONTH awards. Make them good...and with hard work and a little luck any one of you boys and girls could end up The Best Body Slammer in ALL of the Kingdom! Bwahahahaha!!!
Oh KICK where art Thou?
I miss your work here in Weigantia*sigh*

Kim Potter made a mistake that cost a young man his life. In a split second she fired the wrong weapon — thinking she was firing her taser but actually firing her service firearm. This was clear to anyone who watched the bodycam footage shown during the trial. Potter freely admitted to the mistake.
I am not sure what purpose sending her to prison will serve. We send people to prison when they they are found guilty of intentionally making choices that result in the harm of others. It’s hoped that prison will give them time to think about what they did so that they might choose to act differently in the future. Potter’s actions weren’t an issue if she hadn’t drawn the wrong weapon thinking she was drawing another. Her mistake happened in a split second… there is no need to hope she would act differently in the future. Is it justice, or is it revenge?
That wasn't Potter's only mistake that day, was it?
It is called accountability.
Is it justice, or is it revenge?
It is neither, Russ.
It's simply fear...
The fear that the jurors had for what will be done to their community if the jury doesn't swing the way the racist Democrat Party wants them to swing..

But the point is, it's not relevant..
If deadly force was not only authorised but OBLIGATED, it doesn't matter that Potter made a mistake..

And what about Duante Wright's accountability..
You see, this is the EXACT problem with the Left's position on this issue..
The demand accountability only from ONE SIDE of the equation.. The LEO side..
Why is the Left *ALWAYS* excusing the accountability from the OTHER side of the equation? The scumbag criminals??
As long as the Left continues to cater to the criminal element, there will ALWAYS be an ever-growing criminal element.. As long as the Left side of this country caters to and excuses criminals and scumbags, then criminals and scumbags will always have free reign in the cities run by Democrats..

**Public Service Announcement**
Never let it be said that I am one of those idiots who do not take public service announcements seriously.
I JUST STUMBLED ACROSS a way to enjoy the Weigantia that I love and even get enjoyment (rather than annoyance) out of the delusional self-centered spam from our twin trolls.
I see you have inadvertently omitted the term "redundant" in your otherwise totally on-point PSA.
I SIMPLY skip through their posts -- they often make it so easy with their boldified ALL CAPS...
It's the same lame shit over and over so if you've read a few, you've basically read them all already and in perpetuity.
Oh KICK where art Thou?
I miss your work here in Weigantia*sigh*
I've been busy so I'm reading but not responding... with the obligatory skipping over the redundant spew you've aptly described, of course.
So, to recap: As I've stated before, I am never not here. :)

Oh, Queen of Snark!

Needle sharp is Your Wit!
Feared be Your Name!*
I love you too... almost as much as I love Russ. ;)
Vegas has you as the overwhelming favorite to win it all, but ya gotta show up here to make it so.
Vegas doesn't know how busy I've been.
With his solid work (especially above) BashiBazouk is clearly sending a message to you and all of Weigantia.
Well, you should know that it isn't the first time that Bashi has sent a message to me, and I have definitely read between his lines and I believe he's read through mine. Bashi has links, you know. Just say the word. Am I right, Bashi? Heh.
If any of you have retained any particularly stellar body slams feel free to post them and I'll call a 2021 Champion on Joe Biden Day (January 20th.) If not, 2022 is fast upon us.
Retained body slams. Heh.

You're correct, of course.
Potter freely admitted to the mistake.
Potter's lawyers put Potter on the stand and then did a poor job explaining her freely admitted mistake.
I am not sure what purpose sending her to prison will serve. We send people to prison when they they are found guilty of intentionally making choices that result in the harm of others. It’s hoped that prison will give them time to think about what they did so that they might choose to act differently in the future. Potter’s actions weren’t an issue if she hadn’t drawn the wrong weapon thinking she was drawing another. Her mistake happened in a split second… there is no need to hope she would act differently in the future. Is it justice, or is it revenge?
It's neither. It's Potter taking the stand and her lawyers not doing enough questioning to back up her defense of her freely admitted mistake. When she did freely admit her mistake, it de facto became her and the lawyers' burden to prove their defense of her admitted killing... but they didn't, and she didn't.
Russ, remember that the killing to which she freely admitted wasn't the only poor choice she made during that training. It seems to me like a jury finally holding a cop accountable for their multiple actions that caused a death. Plus the shitty lawyering in her defense.

Took the words right out of my mouth and keyboard, EM.

Exactly right. :)
