How to Not Get Arrested After Killing Someone in Public.
In July, 2022, DA Alvin Bragg charged Jose Alba with murder prior to an actual investigation. Alba spent 3 weeks at Rikers Island before Bragg dismissed the charges, saying he could not prove that Alba had not acted in self-defense. Perhaps Bragg learned a lesson from that experience. I am not rendering an opinion on the case of Jordan Neely. The man who killed killed him was taken into custody by police, questioned, and released when Bragg indicated he needed time to investigate.
A few months ago, Mayor Adams announced a plan to involuntarily commit (to a hospital) people who appeared to be a danger to themselves or others due to mental illness. The New York Civil Liberties Union, with the ACLU, filed suit to prevent that plan from going into effect. OK. On the other hand, the same NYCLU decries the lack of services for the unhoused and mentally ill. I did a quick search of mental health services available in NYC. There are at least 80 organizations that offer free mental health services to the public (I stopped counting at 80). What is the NYCLU's plan to help people who won't seek help? How do they propose protecting citizens from the actions of mentally ill people? Somewhere between doing nothing and the actions of the Marine, there must be a solution.
From the linked article: (totally unbiased journalism)
"Neely was shouting in a way that made subway riders uncomfortable and reportedly made threats to some riders. He was asking for food shortly before the 24-year-old strangled him to death."
Uncomfortable?
From a witness cited in several news reports:
"The man got on the subway car and began to say a somewhat aggressive speech, saying he was hungry, he was thirsty, that he didn't care about anything, he didn't care about going to jail, he didn't care that he gets a big life sentence," said Juan Alberto Vazquez, who was in the subway car and recording part of what happened afterward. "That 'It doesn't even matter if I died.'"
Vazquez said he was scared, and believes others on the train were as well. It was then that a 24-year-old rider came up behind the man and put him in a chokehold, holding him on the ground. Two other men stood over them and also helped subdue the man, video showed."
If two witches watched two watches, which witch would watch which watch?
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cackle maniacally and people back away from you slowly.
Happy Friday Miss C!

Happy Friday, gwdMaine!
I hadn't heard the story of Motorola blowing the chance to be a leader and make a fortune, in favor of short term earnings elsewhere. But that sounds like Wall Street for the past couple decades, pressuring the boards and CEOs of corporations to report big gains every quarter. Share holders not knowing anything about their investments except the dividends and what Wall Street tells them go along with it.
If a crazed woman comes to my door demanding my broom I'd give it to her.
The story of the Valencia Shipwreck was gut wrenching.
Lots of good stuff, Miss C, thank you.
