Scruit

I know where you're going with this. Stop it. I said "combined 80mph". I did not say it was like hitting a wall at 80mph, which is a common myth that has been busted. He was dong 60mph, I was doing 20mph. The combined speed was 80mph. Don't need to analyze it further. Hurt like the dickens, as I recall.

The is OR, we don't care about feelings.

Come on - we all know that Mithras is just a story, as are related derivative works...

Yeah... I said I saw a smashed up hood - not an army of unicorns riding a rainbow to save the narwhals from the army of giraffe-legged fish.

You jest, but.... I was behind a truck the other day, one of those F450 sized trucks, just a bit bigger than a pickup - the bed was the type you get on a Lowes rental truck with metal "fence" sides but the tailgate was replaced by a wooden 2x4! These rocks were the size of beach balls and bigger, resting on nothing but a nasty-looking piece of dimensional lumber that was clearly not enjoying it's current job. That was the only thing holding the rocks in the bed except gravity and good intentions. First words that came to mind are; "Holy crap, this is some Final Destination sh!t right here!" Passed him as soon as I could. Pucker factor 10 until then.

Got into my cage on Friday to drive home from work. As soon as I got belted, put my hands on the wheel and looked forward out the car I was suddenly struck with a strong image in my mind. Very, very clear. It wasn't just a visual thing - it was a sense of being in a place with sounds, smells and physical sensations, just for a split second: In the image I was sitting in the car in exactly the same place I already was except the hood was all smashed in, there was smoke coming out from the engine but it smelled like coolant, there was a hissing noise and and a tinny ringing in my ears and my feet/ankles hurt as well as my chest/shoulder. In front of me was a smashed up black car that I had obviously crashed into, couldn't tell what kind of car it was but I remember it had a really curved wide hood like an Infiniti G or similar. I remember being alive but scared. This image lasted half a second then went away but the fear stayed behind. Had to sit for a couple of minutes to collect my thoughts before driving home VERY carefully. Thing is I've been there before, 20 years ago. Head-on collision with a drunk driver who crossed the centerline and hit me at a combined 80mph according to the police investigation. After the accident I was sitting there with my hands on the wheel looking out over a manged hood. I had seatbelt bruising on my shoulder/chest, the floor/pedals suffered from accident intrusion but I don't recall my feet hurting back there. The drunk driver and his friend almost died, I was ambulatory (I was in a much larger car - Merkur XR4ti versus Geo metro). Was this a flash back? Or a flash forward? Is someone up there trying to warn me about something? Or just the perfect combination of neurons fire off and associate something about me sitting there with the accident 20 years ago? The feeling is still there - especially now I'm on the bike today. Something just feels wrong about being on the bike today. The heebie-jeebies have stuck with me for now. I think I need to put the bike away until I can shake this otherwise it'll get into my head so bad I wind up doing something stupid and creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Sucks, but good to hear you're OK. I'm out today but I'm really paranoid. Riding like a 90yr old man on a scooter - picking my way between paint and metal covers like my life depends on it. The roads are wet, but they're more than that - they're especially slick. Even when putting my feet on the road at stops I can feel the road being like ice. In fact I think I'm gonna switch back to the car before I pick my son up from school. I just don't feel good about today. It was the same last night in my cage - set off home from the pizza place and almost spun out just pulling onto the road - and I drive a Subaru!

So, asset hiding, yeah? Totally legal, honest.

The sound of crunching vehicle parts is a horrible sound, and it never get any easier to listen to.

Not too many days like tomorrow left (mid 60s), and I've been off the bike for a month while my rib healed from my most recent Jujitsu injury where two of my ribs dislocated from my sternum AND broke the costal cartilage... (Hint - if the guy you are rolling with outweighs you by 150lbs, don't let him stack you) Anyone else gonna try an sneak in a last ride tomorrow?

The crying was fun. Now it's just dry-heaving and it's embarrassing to watch.

That's hopefully going to be easy to prove, if correct. They prosecutor provided T-mobile phone records for Martin and DeeDee to the defense before October. The defense team also got a court order to get the phone records for those two direct from T-Mobile themselves (as well as twitter and facebook). But wait... If the judge ordered disclosure of t-mobile phone records for Martin and "Witness 8" then a phone account must exist, and some person must own that phone, no? Who is that person? Does that phone belong to "DeeDee", or to a person who has a good explanation as to why "DeeDee" was using the phone? That phone number will also have to line up with a call made atthe time of the shooting. I don't see how they could fabricate all that after the fact. EDIT: O'Mara himself says he has the last few calls made. The phone records handed over by Martin's mother showed a call at 19:12 and the shooting was 4 minutes later (although that itself creates a problem in that Witness 8 reported hearing the scuffle itself... Did the scuffle go on for 4 minutes?)

According to 37:35 in this video: http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2012/10/22/zimmerman-hearing-video-from-itsmichaelnotmike/ The fact she was a minor (allegedly) meant it was represented that her name was supposed to be protected, according to O'Mara (Z attorney). This also shows that the age of the girl was being disputed back in October, so this is not news to the defense team. Now that my curiosity is piqued, I wanna know that this girl is real, and I know the defense team is going to be all over that.

Did they lie about her age? How would her age make a difference? Did they make her up completely? Did they lie about her age to prevent the defense from getting a deposition until she coudl be better schooled on a fake version of events? Did she never exist in the first place? She will have to be present in court to face cross-examination. The witness information is on file with the prosecutor's office, no? Bring her in to court and age fro her age. The phone records should indicate if Martin was talking to someone, and who owns the number he was talking to. If phone records show no phone call then we have a problem. If there ARE phone records but there is no way she could have been using that phone number at the time, then we have a problem. I guess I see what this site is getting worked up about - but there are enough rational explanations for the age discrepancy that I'm not going to go nuts over it until it is fully explained. She may be real but she lied about her age to the Martin attorney for reasons unrelated to the case. Maybe she was too old/young to date Martin, or something like that. I think it is a leap to suggest that Witness #8 doesn't exist. Not saying she absolutely DOES, just saying the age discrepancy and slow discovery process is not enough to make me suspect that she never existed. Now, if it turns out that witness #8 was a fabrication, then I wanna see heads roll. I would want to see Crump in jail and lose his law license, along with anyone else who knew.

OK, so I don't get it... The request is a discovery from a third party for the original full-length recording, not the hacked-down poorly copied version. I don't see a reference to Witness 8 being 18yo in the discovery motion. I also don't understand why the witness' age would be a "bombshell discovery" unless it can be proven that they lied to make her appear to be a minor to invoke some kind of special protection against a deposition by the defense..? The closest to a "bombshell" I see here is that the recording handed to the defense is not the full interview - however that could easily wind up being explained away as portions of the conversation that are covered by attorney-client privilege were redacted. I don't know, just a guess. To characterize this discovery motion as anything other than run-of-the-mill "Can we get a better copy please" you must know something about this case that I am missing.

He doesn't mention where the bolt & firing pin came from, does he? I want him to be MY buddy when the SHTF.

Hope so. He has some apologizing to do. I just hope he isn't too thick-headed to realize that. I'm sure his "cunt fucking wife" would be quite upset to read this thread.

I was gonna ride with his "cunt fucking wife".

It's a mirror. Get over it.

Any towing company would charge you $150-$180 for a tow. Ask me how I know. I'd say you came out even.

Bear in mind a kick to the head can be considered deadly force. Especially if there is a disparity in the fight, such as an incapacitated victim, or a trained fighter against someone clearly not capable of putting up an effective fight. So yeah, fighting arts are great, but if you were to ever actually kick someone in the head then I would expect you to have to justify that much more than a punch.

Ssshhhh, shhhhh... Relax. The haldol will kick in in a moment. Yes, the arms are supposed to be tight.

It's called Common Sense. It's too late for you to learn.

We sometimes agree, sometimes not. Sometimes he's on Bath Salts and it's best to let him come down in a padded room.

Not worth my time.
