Perhaps a coco-net?

Halves? No, that's the wrong way. You just want a hole in the top. The half will slosh all over the place, like trying to drink out of a paper bowl.

I'm saying that being up to a jury depends on actually getting in front of a jury. I'm not talking about the squeegee situation in particular but the reality of prosecutorial discretion being used inequitably.

I am also alone for Christmas. Would love to meet up if y'all are doing something today.

Gee, you can't possibly imagine that might not mean equitable application? Also, prosecutorial discretion has a substantial effect on these cases. If there's inadequate evidence to prove that the individual did NOT act in self-defense, evidence that is hard to document because of the subjectivity of "fear," killers will not even be charged. And that's /if/ the local prosecutor is motivated solely by evidence and not protecting their buddies. Note all the times in recent news when overwhelming public outcry was needed to even charge murderers because the local prosecutor decided there was no crime.

If only research on this were easy to find.

It's cute that you think SYG would be applied equitably.

I moved from a SYG state. It's another excuse to execute Black and Brown people. That's all it is and all it is used for.

It's not just poverty, but wealth inequality that creates desperation and breeds violent responses. When it seems (or is) unjust that others have what you know you never will, it's easier to justify antisocial behavior to survive. If, instead, we developed and invested not just money but our own time and humanity in collaborative, humanizing, prosocial solutions, the justification for antisocial behavior would begin to evaporate. Instead, we treat antisocial behavior with antisocial punishment, increasing antisocial behavior.

You don't need entrepreneurs to move here, you need to make funding and venues accessible to the entrepreneurs already here. Entrepreneurs aren't some magical other that live elsewhere.
