Shot in the Dark

Take Five

It’s been a busy month, and I am fried to a fine sheen.So I believe I am going to take the rest of this week, and weekend, off from riding.

(UPDATE: And, of course, from writing).

I hope you all have a happy, blessed Christmas season, and I will see you all again on Monday!

    Riding? Audio-to-text? Whatever. Merry Christmas!

    Enjoy your respite Mitch! The wackiness of the world will deliver much to write about during the interim before your return.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours!

    Sorry for the threadjack, but in the wake of Kim Potter’s manslaughter conviction, every cop in the state should simply walk off the job until her conviction is reversed.

    Did she do wrong?

    Of course.

    But are we going to hold doctors criminally responsible for every fatal “oops” they make?

    This is why we have civil courts and lawyers who make a bundle suing over wrongful death.

    Greg;
    IMO, all of the doctors, healthcare execs, hospital mucky mucks, the entire CDC and NIH and all of the Big Pharma execs that pushed the WuFlu and subsequent killer “vaccines”, should all be tried for crimes against humanity.

    Thanks for your work this past year, Mitch!
    May you have a very Merry Christmas.

    I’m also wishing the same to all of you loyal SiTD people.

    Spending today with my wife’s side of the family, tomorrow with my side, Sunday visiting my Mother in the nursing home . . . it’s just as well that Mitch is taking a break from the column as I’ll be focused on the things that matter in this season.

    Merry Christmas. God bless us, every one.

    “Sorry for the threadjack, but in the wake of Kim Potter’s manslaughter conviction, every cop in the state should simply walk off the job until her conviction is reversed.”

    Consequences for Potter should reflect the unintentional nature of the shooting while acknowledging that the loss of composure and failure of judgement under stress renders her incapable of fulfilling police duties. She is also an unsuitable candidate for civilian firearm ownership. There is no public service rendered in incarceration, though a small period of home detention followed by a lengthy probation might be in order. Through her experience, she may still have a valuable role as a cautionary messenger in police training and it would be wise to capitalize on that.

    Merry Christmas Mitch and to all who toil in this space, even trolls. Not so much for the idiots on the Potter jury. I can only hope Big Karma arrives soon for them.
