Something else I just thought of - would that gun (in either chambering) even be legal for deer in Indiana these days?
Of course, people were better marksmen back then (overall), and placement beats caliber, right? ;)
So, that's certainly plausible. And crossed my mind, too.
As these things tend to happen, the pic was found in a bunch of other family pics. Most of the people are known. This one isn't, but one of the family members that it could be has been documented as serving with the US military in the...
Hey indi, nice to see you around.
It looks to me, based on sites like this:
https://www.militaryrifles.com/swissvetterli
That the Italian variants typically had all wood, but the Swiss seemed to have the metal showing for the loading gate. That kind of specificity might help identify the...
Yeah, it sounds like they were popular "affordable" hunting rifles in parts of the country for quite a while.
Interestingly, some of the parts of the country where this lad might've been from.
It seems to be more like a trophy or something, though.
Thanks, guys - and that's what I choose to remember about INGO. :)
So, as I go down that rabbit hole, it looks like a US military noncom might've been holding that in Europe or in the US. But, based on other information, it was speculated that it might have been in the Philippines during that...
Ok all you INGO historic gun folks, here's one that has stumped me and Google image search.
The US soldier holding this appears to be wearing a uniform from about 1900 through 1915 or so. Unlikely to be cosplay, given how the pic was found.
Also, could be either from training or a captured...
I was doing appeals for the AGs office starting in 98 through 2004 and nothing like that came through during that period.
Plus, doesn't ring any bells - and it is a crazy enough fact pattern that it would be memorable! I'll do a little internet archeology on it, too.
Oh right, in court.
But this is INGO. :D If we can speculate about Floyd, seems like speculation about Chauvin is in bounds. ;)
And I'm not sure reasonableness is a safe harbor for Chauvin....
I think the boot off the ground part was important, too.
I hadn't realized that, but it does mean that more of Chauvin's body weight was being applied to Floyd than not.
I think we also need to consider that maybe Chauvin did want to hurt this guy. From what we now know about Chauvin's past...
Well, I sit corrected, sorta.
Apparently, 15 days ago (which is kinda wild) the US notified Turkey of the intent to send 2 USN ships (unspecified) into the Black Sea.

So, there's that.
Guarantee? Cops don't get guarantees, other than guarantees for an ill-fitting uniform and bad coffee.
Floyd was cuffed and outnumbered and on the ground. (Not to mention, they were sober.) Chauvin alone could've gotten up without impairing their ability to continue to subdue him, while...
haha
Your second paragraph is kinda the answer to the question in the first paragraph. :)
The officers' restraint became an assault (arguably) at the time Floyd stopped resisting.* He MAY have stopped resisting before he passed out, but he definitely stopped resisting WHEN he passed out.
I...
Juries reflect our society.
Wokeness is part of our society now, so it will be reflected in the juries.
Gets back to accepting things we don't like. ;)
That's kinda where I'm at.
I believe Chauvin to be morally and ethically responsible for Floyd's death.
The jury will have to figure out if that amounts to criminal culpability.
And, while I have faith in the jury system, I have little faith in people's ability to accept results they don't like.
The way they get to the other convictions (I think) is a bit nuanced.
The premise is that an officer can commit an assault while effectuating an arrest. The only reason officers are allowed to lay hands on someone is because they are arresting someone, and they are allowed to use a certain...
So this brings me back to the point where it kinda doesn't matter for purposes of these charges.
How do you suspect someone is ODing on fentanyl? Being unconscious is one of the primary ways. Unconscious people don't resist, except by just lying there.
If at some point while being...
There are "always lethal" levels of drugs. That's a hard stop.
But, under that, is a gray area of "sometimes lethal." That's why even the lethal fentanyl dosage (and other drugs) is expressed as a range.
Clearly, 49ng is not "always lethal" because someone didn't expire until they hit 50...
