Idk everyone is doing the "he was killed but

The medical examiner’s office determined the manner of death to be suicide and police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.”

Isn’t it possible the guy was troubled and just actually killed himself?

The meme says “or illness related work loss”.

If you’re self-employed entrepreneur then it’d be a personal bankruptcy most of the time in Finland. Having an LLC or such thing for such use isn’t common.

Certainly feels so after a while

Reminds me of penis inspection day in school

It’s also that if you get sick at the wrong time, as a self-employed person, that alone can take you down and cause a bankruptcy. Subsidies won’t help there if the work just isn’t getting done or you miss out on work contracts.

I mean there’s definitely people who go bankrupt due to not being able to work due to illness. If you’re a private entrepreneur (or what’s the correct term E; self-employed was what I meant) for example then that stuff can take you down easily.

It is a real thing but the term radical is used a bit different

The radical in the term refers to a willingness on the part of most radical centrists to call for fundamental reform of institutions.[1] The centrism refers to a belief that genuine solutions require realism and pragmatism, not just idealism and emotion

So not radical as in extremist action but radical change

We are. But it’s just American prisons are so horrific that you’ll really want to wait and see how bad it gets before choosing to put yourself in one.

In that case I wouldn’t worry about either choice if it’s decades away. I’d wait and see how bad it gets before making the decision.

Yes and that still gives me some decades before something might happen vs spending those decades and the rest of my life in American prison. I mean have you really considered the options here lol

I mean even thinking that that’d be the actual situation for me where I live in few decades vs. spending those few decades and rest of my life in American prison, it’s going to be a very easy decision for me

I mean, come on. Uncertain future some decades ago vs the certainty that I’m rotting in an American prison for the rest of my life starting now. Easiest decision of my life

TIL

Ukrainian intelligence sent about 20 experienced drone operators and about 150 first-person-view drones to the rebel headquarters in Idlib, Syria, four to five weeks ago to help Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the leading rebel group based there, the knowledgeable sources said.

For me American prison sounds a lot worse than whatever comes from climate change, so personally I’d pick that.

It shouldn’t happen but such a situation where someone becomes hostile can occur even when theoretically everyone’s every need is taken care of. It’s unfortunate that it did though.

Also, the strangle hold was applied for 5 min. I’m no expert but when someone goes limp from blood flow being blocked, you usually don’t need to continue choking them for an additional 4 min.

That’s what the court case was over. Nobody is really disagreeing about the homeless man having been aggressive and a threat and needing to be subdued, it was just about whether the person who subdued him was guilty of “criminally negligent homicide”.

Boys cranking their hoooog

It wasn’t unavoidable but also it was his aggressive behaviour towards others that directly lead to him being subdued. I’m not sure the situation would’ve been different with a white guy acting aggressive towards fellow passengers, especially a mother and her child.

Even the prosecution seemed to say that the initial reaction was justified because the other guy was aggressive and hostile in a crowded train, but that the measures taken to subdue him went too far

From the New Yorker article linked in the posted article:

“His initial intent was even laudable, to protect fellow subway riders from a man he perceived to be a threat.” But the law does not permit “laudable behavior” when it is also “unnecessarily reckless,” Yoran went on. Her opening statement—in which she described how Penny held Neely in a choke hold for almost six minutes, even after the train doors had opened and the other straphangers had fled to safety—concluded, “The defendant was not justified in these deadly actions. He used far too much force for far too long. He went way too far.” Later, the jury—twelve jurors and four alternates, all hailing from Manhattan—would need to decide for themselves whether the Assistant District Attorney was correct.

The whole thing seems to have been about if the guy went too far in subduing the homeless dude who was by all accounts acting crazy and aggressive towards other passengers, including a woman with a child with her.

It’s so crazy reading different characterizations of the situation. Some are saying how the guy heroically saved other passengers by strangling an aggressive homeless dude for six minutes, even after other passengers had apparently left, others are saying how a vicious white attacker decided to murder a desperate BLACK victim of the system without any reason.

Wild shit.
