"His life was in danger" -> How could an officer's life be in danger when he's the only person with a gun? How could an officer's life be in danger from a guy running away from him? The DA has everything necessary for a murder charge. A dead man, and a police officer that admits to killing him. Everything else is semantics.
There is absolutely no reason to shoot an unarmed person 10 times. I've heard that U.S. police departments approved tasers to prevent unnecessarily using deadly force. And why didn't the officer deploy a taser against the unarmed guy? Oh I forgot he's the POLICE, submit or die. And shot 10 times sounds more like an execution to me.

Assuming they will conceal information for the cops benefit before the final verdict seems kinda... tin foiled conspiracy like to me. As a person totally neutral in this case it just seems that people really enjoy pointing fingers at each other and use this incident as promotion for larger issues (racial profiling vs black crime for example).

But even worse than that, said robbery took place four minutes AFTER Mike Brown was stopped, and subsequently shot.
http://captainamerica-in-middle-earth.t ... 4839648577
In fact, you'll find more inconsistencies! At first, the documents alleging that Mike Brown had taken part of a robbery were released, but now the story has changed to "they were blocking traffic by walking in the middle of the street". So, is jaywalking worth execution? Or was the BS robbery excuse? This case could be handed to a prosecutor just out of law school, and it'd be a milk run.
Either way, this is simple public relation tactics that aren't working. They're trying to spin the issue to make Mike Brown look as guilty as possible, victim-blaming at I wish I could say its worst.

Hmm my understanding was that I wasn't "assuming" anything. Think they literally established a no-fly zone in the area so helicopters can't capture the real situation.
Also check some of the things posted in Genodragon's first post as evidence. Things look pretty bleak.

As for the robbery issue, the contradiction between the timestamp on the camera and the time in the shooting report can be chalked up to the clocks not being in sync with each other. Very few of the clocks in my house show the same time, and some are more than ten minutes apart. Still, proving that the clocks were or were not in sync would be difficult, considering the ease with which a clock can be reset. Either way, the robbery is hardly relevant; it's only important as a possible motive for attacking Wilson if Brown was the aggressor in the struggle that cost him his life, and even then, if Wilson continued shooting after Brown was subdued, then it's still murder.

For all you law nerds out there, the release of this convenience store robbery video is what I think is referred to as "prejudicing the juror pool". This is a common tactic to get a change of venue. However, as this is a nation-wide incident, they're going to be hard-pressed to find jurors that are ill-informed of events.

I've also got a check up appointment in two weeks, so we'll see how it goes. Trying to look on the bright side of things though. I've lost 11 pounds in 6 days, and seeing as I was planning on wanting to lose a few, it's a great head start. Just... not the way I wanted to go about it.

A robbery, in layman's terms, is theft using the threat of force. So then why didn't the deceased have a weapon?
You do realize that force does not always have to equal the use of a weapon, right?
If he was a strong man, he still could've threatened to break someone's finger or beat them up. That's a weaponless threat of force and yes that can legally be held against him.Quote:

Good that it was found. The constant stomach pains did make me wonder if it was something more serious than a bug, although your constant vomiting could also be a way of the body trying to defend itself from all food, which might cause the ulcer to hurt more.

I went to the hospital to get an upper GI done on me today as well as a biopsy. Found out I had an ulcer in my stomach. I'm really happy they found something so maybe now I can start getting better since I know what I have. I have to call the doctor next Friday to see if the biopsy turned up anything else. I'm a bit confused though because everything I was putting in me, I was puking right when it hit my esophagus, so I'm wondering if I have a bug too. Still, at least the ulcer explains the stomach pains I've been having. I'm really guessing that I probably got my ulcer because I tend to get a lot of acid reflux.

Haha well at least you are positive about it, still perhaps best to slow down that weight loss a little :P
I imagine if it was a bug the doctors would have detected it as well, the puking is probably related to the Ulcer. Still it's something treatable and identifiable so good show Dullahan

If he's abusive (and this seems to fit emotional/verbal abuse), there is recourse. http://www.thehotline.org/
If he's just an jerk-wad, do what you will, if you don't want to break up, that's fine. Sometimes it helps to just vent. But yeah, just reading that... it's a little disconcerting.

According to my mother, if you break up with him and he says he "doesn't want to" or doesn't accept it, you're still broken up. If he continues to bother you, despite you telling him multiple times No and that you have broken up with him... well, get a restraining order. If a guy can't take no for an answer and doesn't understand that broken up means you've broken up, he needs some legal manner to understand that. And if he still refuses to acknowledge it, despite restraining order... call the cops on him.
I know this may sound drastic, but hey. I doubt it'll do much for your own physical and mental health if he keeps bugging you like this.

Yikes, that doesn't sound good at all. You may feel you want to have him, but from what you just wrote I'd say you need to get rid of him. Now. And if he "won't let you", perhaps you could ask friend and/or family for help, or even, as Cat said, try to get a restraining order. Don't stay with him, he seems to have more than proven he's nothing to hang onto, and even though I don't know this person I dare to say that he won't get better, but he might get worse.

True, true!
I'm always weary as bloody murder when coming home from her place... It's a good thing we don't live in the same town (haha, first I wrote "time") because then we'd probably see one another more often... Being with her for more than one or two days wears the living hell out of me, so it's safe to say our (sometimes quite unstable) relationship has gotten better since I moved out a little more than four years ago. Our different levels of narcissism are very prominent at times.

Well, in a way, you are in denial... of your own freedom.
If you want to break up and have told him that, then telling your friends you're single isn't lying. But if you keep going back to him, then it is lying.
I think you probably realize this, but if he's becoming increasingly possessive and abusive, the chances of having him in your life while maintaining any kind of peace between the two of you... are slim at best. It's clear this boy doesn't respect you, your family, or your wishes.
The only way to stop this cycle is to tell him it's over between you two, and actually mean it. Don't go back to him for any reason, not for friendship and certainly not for petty retaliation (even if he deserves crippling diarrhea). Put that distance between you...and keep it there. If he reacts with threats or if the behavior escalates, report him.

Yeah Chloe like folks have said, it takes two people to make a relationship and if you want out then it's over there's no "Won't let" about it. Unless you live together I really don't see how he could have any power to maintain the relationship and if he does then I think you could safely move back with your family as they'd understand.
Though it's clear you still like him somewhat as you want him and your friends rather than them being at odds with each other. How's he actually bullying people and what's making it 'worth' the relationship that you still want from him?

Also if the guy is prone to violence make sure you're safe when you try to break up. have a 3rd person in the room for example, just in case.

Well, it may just be an isolated incident. We've been having a buttload of rain lately. It's a very unusual event to have a critter larger than a tiny spider or a fruit fly wander in. According to the main office, they do spray twice a year indoors, and outdoors once a month... and the monthly date is coming up soon.
If I find another one, I'll bring it back up with the office. In the meantime, I'll be spraying and cleaning out cabinets this week when I find time.

Don't start me on this.WTF does she MEAN by that? What the hell was I supposed to have tried to make happen at the age of fourteen or fifteen? I was JUST getting past the stage of having irrational dislike for men in general, meaning my dumb puberty hormones were finally settling down. What can I make happen there, huh? And every time there was a downtime from age 17 onwards, I was trying to find a FUCKING JOB. SORRY IF NOBODY FUCKING HIRES ME!

My elder brother has started working in London (where I usually am) and once I'm back, I think it's expected that we'll share a flat somewhere in between where he and I work and split the costs.
The thing is (1) I would be paying anywhere between £10-30 a week more than my current rent for a flat that'd be further away from my workplace (my current place is a 25 minute journey, which is ridiculously close by London standards) (2) The one thing I like above all about living in London is doing whatever I want, whenever I want, and having to share is going to ruin that (3) At the risk of sounding arrogant, my elder brother isn't earning anywhere near the amount I'll be earning, and as such I fully expect having to pay more in terms of groceries, bills, etc.
What do? :( I'm thinking of using the fact that my brother hasn't properly lived on his own and needs the experience (he's 26!!), but I'm probably gonna come across as a douchebag to my family one way or another. It's not like I HATE them, I just don't want to live with them, but they probably wouldn't understand that...

Is there a nice way to tell a sibling you don't want to live with them despite being in the same city?

There are plenty of nice ways to tell someone you don't want to live with them. That doesn't mean they'll take any of those nice ways well.
But... it's "expected" you'll room together? Really? Who expects it? Honestly, unless your brother isn't a fully functioning adult and living with you is his only option in the world, there's no reason he can't room with some friends, or advertise for a roommate.
There's nothing wrong with two siblings sharing living space, but it only works when they're both fully on board with the idea. Turning your brother away (refusing to room with him) might make you look bad in your family's eyes, but really, they can't make you room with him when you're both adults. You just have to decide what's more important... keeping the peace by living in misery, or living honestly while dealing with the repercussions. But like you said, it's not like you're cutting your brother out of your life... you just don't want to live with him, that's all. You'll probably see him every now and then.

Mummy and daddy, unfortunately. :/ We're Asian, so it's not abnormal for them to want family to stick together...

You're right, I can very easy just say no - but I can't help but feel a bit guilty, as if I'm being way too selfish about this. idk.

I see. Yes, the cultural thing would make it a bit more difficult. The gray to nonexistent boundary and all that. I guess if worse comes to worse, you could offer to help him out occasionally... not to have your lives intertwine on a daily basis, but to help him if there's something he absolutely cannot handle on his own.

See? White supremacy is where it's at. When we don't want people around us anymore, whether friends or close family, we just toss them by the wayside and distance ourselves in hopes that we never hear from them again. Whether we feel guilty or not or suffer from the after effects of making said person that we abandoned very angry and upset is irrelevant.

Yeah, I don't mind helping out or meeting up with him even every day: I just don't want to share with anyone. It's that simple :(

That's a bit harsh - there shouldn't be anything wrong with wanting a certain degree of independence.

Nah, I was just being over the top sarcastic. I really hope for your sake though you're able to stay living on your own. It's what you've grown accustomed to and it's not like you're wanting to put your family off to the side or anything because of that.

I hope everyone feels that terrible feeling at least once of wanting to go outside and get themselves something simple to eat, but don't have the cash for it and then are forced to scrounge around the entire apartment or house in the hopes of finding some loose change lying around like some fucking alcoholic looking for booze!

Hm. I don't.
If I'm ever that hungry and don't have the cash, I just open up the cupboard or the fridge. And then I move on.
