He probably has not been eating that well what with his entire life in the balance.
Are there any good interviews with him? I would like to see how his views on things have changed if they did since the incident.

He lost a lot of mass it looks like. Probably from stress and anxiety over the bullshit prosecution.

It’s so nice that we have a neighbor like Canada that proves the Slippery Slope Fallacy is not a fallacy.
They would never settle for anything less than Handguns being allowed at a “May Issue” level and shotguns & rifles only being accepted if you can claim you’re a hunter/marksman.

Good. If they're non-violent and not reoffending, good for them. Also, the Steven Donzinger case has been an absolute travesty for years at this point; pardoning him wouldn't be quite at pardoning Assange levels, but it's pretty high up there in my book.
As terribly fucked as this is, it was part of a prisoner exchange. (archive) That pedo is the son of a high ranking CCP official apparently.
However, if we want to be up and arms about shit pardons involving kids, he pardoned the Pennsylvania judge who was getting kickbacks for incarcerating kids. (archive)

Hell, imagine just trying to go to the gym when you're worried about reprisals or journoscum ambushing you at every corner.
Always his secret. He makes sure that all the attention is on what's going on. Hell, I'm almost convinced he even uses the stack overflow tactic to make sure the truth gets out there - Come out, be deliberately wrong, and sit back as everyone bends over backwards to "Ackshually" you with the correct information, and making sure everyone knows it too. If Trump comes out and says "These are Chinese drones" then the entire nation will know within 48 hours that it was actually a test of some FBI surveillance platform or some such stupid shit.

Insurance is meant to be a wager. When you have guaranteed outcomes, like with preexisting conditions, it ceases to be a wager and fucks up the whole paradigm. I've heard it speculated that the ACA was a poison pill, designed to fail and create a popular outcry for nationalized healthcare, and I'm liable to agree. With the insane increase in chronic health conditions, it's getting unsustainable very quickly.

Shit like this makes me fucking mad. I know this is in Europe, but they have always been the beta-testers for shit like this that will most likely also happen here in the states as well.
"oh this will be used to track fraud and illegal immigration" they say as they try to hide their laughter. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows this will be used as another gateway to invade your privacy and track what you're doing. Basically policing you even more than they already do, including whatever you do online. Nothing is sacred anymore, and the fact that more people don't get pissed off about this and tell the government to fuck off is mind-blowing. Nothing good has ever come from having the government be the parents or watchdogs or security of anything because they always find a way to fuck it up by not only taking a mile when they are given an inch, but using these things in the most nefarious ways possible to control the plebs that they are secretly scared shitless of.
Forget any of this information being secure either... more and more dumbfucks are being hired for high-end internet security jobs that can't tell the fucking difference between a phishing scam and a legit email so of course all that information is going to get hacked and leaked easily with a snap of a finger. "Everyone's Doxxed, OOPSEY DOOPSEY!!!"
These people that support these ideas should be publicly hanged while people pelt them with stones and other shit they find laying around the streets.

The judge lady from Fox did an interview with him; I don't have a link to the whole thing.
short version is that he doesn't regret intervening and basically said he wouldn't be able to look himself in the mirror if innocent dindu Neely hurt/killed someone because he didn't intervene

That is a mindfuck. It same thing happened with the first Trump shooting for me. I thought I read on my phone a month or two before it happening that Trump almost got shot in a failed shooting.

"Man in jail shoots himself" is one hell of a misleading headline. Far too specific to be a mistake.

The reason why insurance companies now legally have to cover pre-existing conditions because it used to be their favored way to welch on the bet. Any time they lost they would move heaven and earth to make it pre-existing, even going so far as to immediately discontinue your policy after you had developed a chronic condition, so that they did not have to cover care related to it. The actual reason all the prices have gone crazy has nothing to do with people getting too much care rather the system is now setup so some one always pays no matter the price. You might also notice that this is why the cost of college has gone crazy as well.
If you get your insurance through work you paid for it. If you are too poor the government pays. You might think no one is paying for delinquents or illegals but those procedures are written off on taxes leaving the taxpayer holding the bag.
Gauze and aspirin cost 50 dollars each because some one always pays. losses have been socialized, profits remain privatized just as planned. This wasn't some secret attempt to get us on nationalized healthcare it was a top secret plan to create a government sponsored oligopoly that is neatly the worst of all possible systems that pretends to be a moderate compromise instead of blatant corruption.
The inability to deny people with pre-existing conditions from they're perspective was little more than a pawn sacrifice at the end of the day.

The entire pre-existing thing was the idea that you needed to always be working to stay insured through life. If you went more than 6 months off, you're a bum. It was an incentive to keep employed with a job that provided insurance.
It was to keep someone with a condition from taking time off paying insurance when they weren't having problems and only signing up right when the problems started up. It was a risk/reward thing.
I think it was a bad idea, but it was more free market than what we have now for sure. Hard incentives to have to be productive and work are obsolete I believe. Live off parents or some UBI, that's the future now. Earning any way is fairly done now

I don't really think it's a choice between either except in the sense that they purposefully created a false dichotomy. I think it was a problem that they only fixed because what they wanted to do was in many ways much worse for the average American and they knew it.

Prices have to go up if they cover more. That's how it is, single payer or private. You cover and give more care, costs go up. Cover pre-existing, insurance and general costs goes up. Nothing's free.
