Murder as a charge requires malicious intent for it to stick, as in deliberate intent to kill or maim.

Different guns have different trigger pull weights, some only requiring a slight brush to go off (sometimes called feather-weight). That said, firearms training always emphasizes never flagging anything that isn’t the ground or a target, to always keep one’s finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and to store firearms unloaded(this rule is broken all the time, though). so at minimum this guy was blatantly negligent with a firearm and is a shoe-in for manslaughter.

A less confusing angle of it

Ah that explains it the best. Now I feel like Argentina has more claim than the UK.

How many people actually live in the Falklands? Looks like there’s mostly nothing on that island. Edit: Looked it up, it’s about 3,600. So an incredibly small population. Census shows over 60% of that population is labelled ‘immigrant’, so non-indigenous.

I know Falklanders want to remain in UK control majority-wise. I also somewhat get why Argentina wouldn’t want what is essentially a potential base of operations off their coast (though realistically they couldn’t really do anything about it even if they did have sovereignty over it).

EDIT: as mentioned in another person’s comment, Argentina also wants it for the fishing rights. The fishing rights area is fairly sizeable, but not, like, HUGE

At the same time, i can’t really make sense of why the hell have the british fought to keep ahold of the Falklands. Maybe just because the british just love collecting shit that means nothing to them but have major significance to other nations’ people? I don’t really get it.

Edit: someone mentioned that the UK wants to keep the falklands in order to maintain claim to Antartica. Weird but okay. Have not looked into that one.

Hypothetically if McConnel did die and they were able to keep it under wraps till, say August 15th - would a snap election occur at that point or would it be viewed that the deadline was missed?

I’m also curious if this has ever occurred before to serve as precedence for now. 302 senators have died in office in the past, so it’s a lot to try and look into I think.

What’s the August 2nd date about? Do we check yearly whether a senator is dead or something?

Algorism outpaced the abacus for a reason, and the slide rule outpaced algorism for a reason as well, but they’re all good skills to have some practice with. Have you ever had to do long division on an abacus? It ain’t pretty.

Buy used, compensate for the loss in power with algorithmic ingenuity, yadda yadda.

Also, if you can do the thing the app does on paper, you should just do it on paper and can save the computer for more difficult tasks like the old-timers that paved the way for our modern-day laziness.

Use the public library, also.

I dunno, man. Seems like all the convenient options at this point require you to capitulate to some asshole trying to jack up prices and deny payouts, and the only option now is to take high roads that are unpaved.

Emmett Till was brutally murdered in 1955, but I was still informed about it nearly 5 decades later.

I don’t think it’s really the length of time since a murder occurred that defines if you hear about it or not, it’s more the priorities of educators and how significant they think any given murder is. It seems like this one wasn’t viewed as significant.
