Bullshit. Read the statues on first-degree manslaughter in Minnesota.

Sec. 609.20 MN Statutes

Spoiler: Minnesota's First Degree Manslaughter Statutes.

609.20 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.

Spoiler: Minnesota's First Degree Manslaughter Statutes.

Whoever does any of the following is guilty of manslaughter in the first degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 15 years or to payment of a fine of not more than $30,000, or both:

(1) intentionally causes the death of another person in the heat of passion provoked by such words or acts of another as would provoke a person of ordinary self-control under like circumstances, provided that the crying of a child does not constitute provocation;

(2) violates section 609.224 and causes the death of another or causes the death of another in committing or attempting to commit a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offense with such force and violence that death of or great bodily harm to any person was reasonably foreseeable, and murder in the first or second degree was not committed thereby;

(3) intentionally causes the death of another person because the actor is coerced by threats made by someone other than the actor's coconspirator and which cause the actor reasonably to believe that the act performed by the actor is the only means of preventing imminent death to the actor or another;

(4) proximately causes the death of another, without intent to cause death by, directly or indirectly, unlawfully selling, giving away, bartering, delivering, exchanging, distributing, or administering a controlled substance classified in Schedule III, IV, or V; or

(5) causes the death of another in committing or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.377 (malicious punishment of a child), and murder in the first, second, or third degree is not committed thereby.

As used in this section, a "person of ordinary self-control" does not include a person under the influence of intoxicants or a controlled substance.

1 - As acknowledged by the prosecution, she didn't know there was a gun in her hand, there was no intent. So this is gone.
2 - This was not reasonably foreseeable because the prosecution acknowledged that she didn't know she had a gun in her hand. This is also gone.
3 - Not really relevant, but again we're back to intent anyways. Gone.
4 - Not relevant at all.
5 - Not relevant at all.

I don't care what you think of Kim Potter. If you hate her, if you hate cops, if you think she should've never been a cop, if you think she's civilly liable, if you think she should be in jail until the end of time, if you think she's a giant fucking idiot, whatever. She's flatly innocent of manslaughter in the first degree, and there was no fact question for the jury to decide. The charge should've been dropped, but the courts are a fucking joke.

Based on the law as its written I'd have to agree.
What she did doesn't fit the MN definition of 1st Degree Manslaughter in anyway, it was a farce of a trial.
I don't know what the exact legal term is, but I'd say she was guilty of reckless negligence in causing the death of a fleeing asshole, improper and careless use of a firearm and being a fucking idiot, but its not 1st Degree Manslaughter as that statute describes it.

And even if you weren’t, what makes you think I hate cops or Kim potter? She was guilty, I don’t care about who or what she was and all of the arguments in her favor just made her look even more guilty

 

[waffle]

The legal field is filled with alcoholism. The ABA has tried to address it a lot in more recent years, but when you're forcing people in their twenties to bill 2000+ hours per year, it's going to result in some sort of substance abuse.

That said, Nick has never been in a position where he has to work like that. He just likes alcohol.

I don't practice in Minnesota, but it looks to me like (unless you have case law to the contrary, or a peace office exception in some other statute - I'd be legitimatelyinterestedto see it) that you can get to guilty by saying she violated 609.224(2) and the guy died as a result. Even back when I liked nick, he seemed like a pro at overinterperting statutes.

I get (and agree)that if she was privileged to tase the guy then she should have been privileged in her mistake, but it is within the pervue of the jury to say it was unprivilidged.

 

[gang weeder]

What's weird is that Nick isn't going to have a complete Ralph Arc exactly. Ralph always denied the call of anime, he said he dun didn't know about it and just tolerated it because he was in Gamergate and had to. Nick on the other hand dove head first into weeb shit and despite losing the weeb wars, was still more than happy to tell Kyle Rittenhouse the Japanese word for dick girl. As he descends further into degeneracy and alcoholism his rants and outbursts have the potential to get really god damn weird. I can't claim to know what a combination of weeb terminology and weird legal takes will sound like but I think we're in store for some real all time bangers from the killstream Lawsplaining the Internet.

Nick could turn into quite a lolcow while still not being as much of one as ralph. Remember ralph is kind of an alpha lolcow he has more drama in one week than most cows do in a month or even a whole year.

 

[Anticipointment]

Imagine if Nick had to work an actual job, pandering to customers or boss, going to an office in suit & tie, working in a factory doing the same repetitive thing on machine for 12 + hours, or out in the cold / heat having to bust ass all day instead of sitting in a chair whining & boozing it up. He probably would have gone fully insane & abandoned his family long ago. All his speeches about how real men quietly toil & pull bootstraps are ringing especially hollow now.

 

[Whistlin' Crustacean]

So I was watching an archive of the latest FlashCast. Jeremy from Geeks+Gamers was on and he shat on Tim Pool for a straight hour. Very entertaining. A couple hours into the show, Rackets pops in, generally bringing the mood down. The usual "I'm not interested in this, I don't watch that, I don't care." You know how he is. By the way, Anna TSWG is not coming to Vegas, neither is YellowFlash. Then, at 2:45:35, Mr. GigaMangoFanta for $20 asks Nick to explain the cuck article that he wrote the "Locals a-logging going on," and what's with the "a-log channels" posting clips of him "saying one thing a few years ago, only to contrast it recently."

Spoiler: Timestamped

Predictably, the chucklefuck chuckles at it. "People are allowed to have their opinion, it's fine. *wiggles in the chair like a retard*" Flash attempts to clarify. "Do you have a-logs now?" Nick attempts to minimize. "I mean, I guess? Probably." Oh, really? As if he's not even sure what all this drama was about these past 4-6 months. As if he never went into the comment sections of multiple clip videos specifically to cope and try to passive-aggressively dunk on people there. As if he never called out people by name, telling his cellulite-filled Locals hugbox what awful scum these specific people were, but definitely not encouraging false flagging campaigns, nuh-uh.

"My philosophy's always been 'I will do what I want to do on my channel, otherwise I will hate what I do,' which would suck," proclaims Nick. I guess he forgot the cautionary tale Az (Heel vs Babyface) told him about disregarding one's audience's wishes on one of their painting streams. Nevermind that, isn't Nick the guy who used to rant constantly about how it's all "FOR THE FANS"? He even named his Matsuri panels "FOR THE FANS." All about how content creation isn't for the benefit of the creator, but for the benefit of the customer, how said customer is always right and how SJWs ruin escapism by not providing what the audience wants.

And now it's suddenly "I've always done my show for me, if you don't like, don't watch." This, apparently, has always been his "philosophy." I guess, all those rants and shows and panels about escapism and culture and how content should be "FOR THE FANS" were all just cynical pandering to a crowd du jour. What a lying piece of shit.

After that, the rest of the FlashCast lost interest and moved on. And after seeing that Nick would remain on the show until its end, so have I.

It was always weird how Flash, Anna, Jeremy, and so many other were just... there... around Nick for no reason. I think they were latching on to his audience, but now who WANTS what his audience has become? Who wants to drum up wine Karens?

Just thoughts...

Working on posting the next stream archive. Had a critical glitch I had to fix, so I spent time on that, so I have a small backlog.

Nick thinks his wife is damaged goods, but somehow the Locals whores are better? Some of them look like they've been left in the sun for the last 20 years and forgotten about. Crusty bitches.

She should dump his ass but they've got 5 kids together and his grift is keeping them afloat. If she wanted to she could probably make his life miserable in divorce court, I'm sure another lawyer in the state would take him for a ride in divorce court lmao

It won't happen but god that would be the lolsuit of a lifetime.

Nothing, most likely. Anna said that she already had a previously scheduled meetup with Chrissie Mayr and some other woman at that exact time. Flash said that he would've been able to come, had Nick informed him some months prior. They seemed like they wanted to be there, too, if not for the scheduling conflicts. Didn't look like they cared or even knew about the drama either.

I will then. Youre right, but it's the simple assault statute, it only requires the intent to harm. Shooting somebody with a taser is harmful, and is definitely assault. This is the same distinction nick didn't understand. Brancha even tried to talk him through it and gave up.

Look, I think she was not guilty because the tasing was privileged and the privilege covers her good faith mistake of fact, but if it wasn't then she definitely intended to just assault the guy and killed him on accident. That's basacially the ye Olde common law definition of manslaughter.

“Content is for the audience!” Is a retarded take also but for different reasons if you take the content being for the audience to it’s logical conclusion then cancel culture and tranny brigading and review bombing etc would be valid in his philosophy it’s what the audience wants isn’t it? He’s always been retarded
Edit: if anything content being for creators is a based take but only if you weren’t a cuck for years doing something you hated for the money and only made what you wanted from the beginning and fuck everyone else

Lol. That sucks. What cigar can you recommend me? I barely smoke anymore.

Depends what you like, really.
For a lighter and more approachable one I would say something basic but quality like a Sobremesa Brulee, Romeo y Juleita Reserva Real, or RoMa Craft Intemperance 18 are ones I enjoy and are very solid for complete noobs or people with more developed pallates.
For a darker, richer cigar I love the Last Call Maduro from AJ Fernandez, Cuba Libre One 'The Brute' is a really solid smoke and CI has them at a great bargain, and it's hard to go wrong with a Hemingway Short Story if you ask me.

I think the inference to take from that is that he doesn't want to do trials anymore and wants to shift his content somehow, but isn't sure how. We'll see what happens with Vegas.

I note the actual event is a panel with Dick and Camelot. I bet those are two people whose content he wants to ape in the future.

So here is the Murdaugh Day

If these people are not showing up, I wonder what this means for the YouTube section of Anime Matsuri? Are people unhitching from Nose now that WeebWars has died down?

It was always weird how Flash, Anna, Jeremy, and so many other were just... there... around Nick for no reason. I think they were latching on to his audience, but now who WANTS what his audience has become? Who wants to drum up wine Karens?

They're latching onto his audience. They probably barely watch his content and clearly don't follow the metadrama so they don't really know what was going on. They will eventually notice his demeanor and the fact that his audience has changed (even if, say, half the pre-Depp audience overlapped with Flash, the viewers that came on post-Depp DGAF about anything Yellow Flash talks about).

When these content creators conclude that the benefits of being associated with Nick are too low for it to make sense to associate with him, some will just stop.
