Completely different scenario that's not even closely related. This example involved an intimate partner that was on the phone with the victim when he was clearly in an altered state, instructing him to go back into harm's way to kill himself.

Literally the exact same case.

I'll say it again: there have been no cases that supports what happened being called "murder".

No they haven't.

>There’s explicit examples in other comments to this article.

No there isn't.

That's not the definition of murder though, even if you feel like it is. I know we're in a post-fact world, but you don't get to magically decide what words mean.

That article literally agrees with the GP that the RNC was not hacked but the DNC was...

Exactly. Now they get to charge you more AND virtue signal. It's a win/win for the woke.

I read the article, and they're claiming it's not gratuity, but it's de facto gratuity. The reason they're claiming it's not gratuity is because automatic gratuity is prohibited by Minnesota law.

Much like Obamacare "it's a fee, not a tax", but then the Supreme Court decided that it's actually a tax, so the individual mandate could be repealed like a tax. Just because they claimed it doesn't mean it's reality.

This is fantastic honestly. Now we join the legion of nations that don't have a tipping culture because SJWs have now declared tipping "racist". That's a win in my book.

Except he's not wrong about that. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The press is definitely an enemy of the people.

>Schools are controlled primarily by state and local governments, which are not universally controlled by Democrats but split along typical red state/blue state lines

This isn't reality, schools are ran by school administrators and education leadership heavily skew leftist.

Education and education leadership heavily skew leftist. Part of the leftist creed is destroying the West from within. What better way to do that than destroying the institution that's sole purpose is creating the next generation of citizens?

The amount of electrical power to shoot a single round was immense, the greatest known energy used to propel a projectile from a railgun was 33 megajoules.
