I think that the major public perception problem here is that most people don't understand what a "Life" sentence really is! There are two types of sentences: definite and indefinite. A definite sentence is one that specifies a specific punishment that can be completed: $300, 30 hours of community service, 5 years, three years probation, etc. An indefinite sentence is one that can't ever be completed: Death Penalty, Life without the Possibility of Parole, and the garden variety "Life" sentences, i.e. "fifteen-to-life". Obviously, the Death Penalty and Life without the Possibility of Parole are fairly easy to grasp. The person sits in prison/custody until they die, whether by the hand of the state or by the hand of the clock. A garden variety life sentence say "fifteen-to-life" doesn't mean the person was sentenced to life in prison. They were actually sentenced to a definite sentence of 15 years in prison with an indefinite term of parole. What it means is that even when the person does their legally required time they will still spend the rest of their lives under the jurisdiction of the parole system and its conditions, which means that any violation of their parole could see them immediately returned to prison for the parole violation. Just because a "lifer" got released doesn't automatically mean that he didn't complete his prison term. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

You do realize that if you're in a supermarket and you drop a jar of spaghetti sauce on the floor which breaks open and makes a huge mess that you are not required to pay for it. It's simply part of "the cost of doing business" that falls on the business owner. Any business owner who deals with a lot full of cars whether it's an inpound yard, a car dealership, a repair shop, or a junk yard has to expect that they're not immune to theft. To suddenly decide that they as business owners have been granted the power to enforce their own moral beliefs by becoming judge, jury, and executioner is an example of someone with a God-complex who has lost the ability to think rationally. If the person could think rationally, I'm sure they'd say that there was nothing in that yard that was worth $269,000. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

Okay, I give! What's a Hughes Super 204/205? If someone told me they were using 204's and 205's as logging helicopters, I'd be thinking Bell Hueys. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

Unfortunately, prosecutors can't risk alienating their local police departments by actually charging police officers who break the law. Here's a recent example that's going to the civil courts because the District Attorney refused to file charges apparently believing that it's okay for a police officer to use an AR-15 assault rifle to shoot an unarmed, handcuffed suspect in the back of a police car. http://www.egcitizen.com/articles/2011/08/15/news/doc4e49a47ad17c0937967559.txt It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

They were high on meth, broke into the property repeatedly, and had knives on their persons. That makes the shooting closer to self-defense than to murder. That's why there only seems to be a civil court case. because the local prosecuter probably knows that murder would be a tough sell. If you were facing down a burglar over a property crime, and he was a meth addict armed with knives, are you going to invite him to sit down and have a cup of coffee with you to discuss the error of his ways? Closer to self-defense? Um, NO! How did they know they were on meth? Does it matter? The other suspect got shot at four times while trying to jump a fence and get away. The person who was killed was behind a door when he got shot. Pretty much impossible to claim to self-defense when a person armed with a knife is inside a shed as you're shooting at him through the door! Many "ethnic cleansing" executions in Bosnia were carried out by locking men and boys in large sheds and shooting into the buildings. There is no legitimate claim of self-defense here!

There's a big difference between a known, growling, barking dog and a group of armed men hiding out waiting to ambush a suspected burgler trespassing in a commercial yard. The point of the dog is to keep people out in the first place, not to kill people. However, a group of armed men "lying-in-wait" for a chance to kill someone is, by definition, first-degree murder. How these men weren't criminally charged is a mystery. All they had to do was make a citizen's arrest. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

Yep! How anyone can defend a group of heavily armed men looking for an excuse to execute someone instead of making a simple citizen's arrest is beyond me! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

Would you rather he be deaf? Not using ear protection around, in, or while jumping out of an airplane is going to cause hearing damage. Perhaps you should start wearing a whistle like paragliders do for traffic avoidance. Oh no, that wouldn't be cool; you'd be laughed off the DZ!

"Serious space question answer"? Where was the serious space question? Actually, it would be kind of difficult to put a satellite in geostationary orbit over North America, Satellites in geostationary orbits have to be near the equator. Even GPS satellites don't stay in one spot. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

I'm sure it's just your IT guys messing with you. I streamed a couple movies so far this weekend and they looked fine. On another note, I'm still trying to decide: 1) Accept the price increase to $16 for unlimited 1-at-a-time DVDs plus streaming, 2) Pay $8 for just DVD rentals and drop streaming 3) Pay $8 for just streaming and drop DVDs 4) Pay $12 for unlimited 2-at-a-time DVDs and drop streaming, or 5) Cancel!

The minutes are pretty vague about why they were removed, but it doesn't look like it was the BOD that did it. What's interesting is that the membership was removed in May 2011, the month before the lawsuit was filed. I wonder what the actual cause of the removal was, it doesn't sound like it was a punitive action due to the fatality. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

Clearly, this is backlash from the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only where a Biathalon competitor turned out to be an assassin. Obviously, the London Summer Olympics is being used as a cover for Al Qaida, or the CIA, to recruit the best potential international assassins. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
