Regarding the Cooper's photos... in sentencing or adding other charges, it's going to get hard to explain to the public why multiple other participants had not been charged with anything....this is exactly why I think this is looking like slap on a wrist and not much more, so far.
Did you ever try using that argument with a speeding ticket? How did it turn out?

Speeding ticket is not really a public matter unlike this case.

So Flip Flop, I've had a few courses in college in Probability Science and Stochastic Systems and I got As in those courses.
How about you?
At least I acknowledged the possibility - even beginning on the previous pages via Barney Fife - that agent could've been re-gressing and opposed to pro-gressing. So there was no vacillating on my part, you pinhead.
Maybe at some point the truth will be clearer and we will all know the true posturing of the agent in the front of the vehicle.

5-25 year sentences. They'll serve 1-6 years. Totally guessing. Confidence in estimates, less than 9%.
Still, considering the difference between 1/1125 and ordinary average 1/1 , I still say HFCS is a dummy.
I skipped grades. And college. I could present the statistical difference between you and I in ways that wouldn't threaten your fragile ego, but where's the fun in that?

HFCS: I don't kno Finicum, I haven't researched him, but I'd BET he wasn't evil.
But would you BET he wasn't blinded by an ignorant ideology?

Rock! here's a very short clip from Sam Harris.
While the context of the conversation concerns fundamentalist religion and ISIS,
consider what he says re: bad people vis a vis bad ideas.

I thought it was pretty right on.

EDIT for below...
jb, per usual, that's utterly ridiculous.
Faux outrage. Is it?
Nothing better going on?
Did I "microagress"?
Next time I'll be sure to
provide YOU a "trigger warning."
lol
And you would use his last name for what reason? lol
Grow up.

Now this is being compared to Telemark Skiing.
The Fruitcake is ready and everyone here knew the cake was being baked.
You go for your ,ahem,pistol,when real guns are drawn and pointed at you,regardless of who is holding them,you are well....

If you want to live, don't try to run a roadblock with a loaded 9mm pistol in your jacket and then refuse to comply with an LEO. He did this on purpose. He wanted to get away or die. What the agent's intentions were is an irrelevant distraction.
Comparing him to Tarbuster is a total humor fail.

I don't want to celebrate someone's death, but Finicum was so radicalized it isn't hard to imagine him doing a Timothy McVeigh-style terrorist attack. I do feel sorry for his family.

Lame move... not too late to fix it. -Hocking
Give me the good argument Hocking and you got it.
You guys are stirring the pot. Admit it, you relish in it. What else is there in your evening. This evening. Right?
Fire up the outrage machine, I'm bored!!

The right guy is dead... -jb
and do you hear me defending this perp in any way?
btw, he was human, not a demon.
As far as I know, he didn't kill anybody or maim anybody?
Do I have that right?
Did he ever steal from anybody?
Still, let's demonize him.
It feels so good to do that!
Let's not even compare him to a human.
Was he human? Let's not even compare him to human.
How's that for a mindset? Is that what you want?
Remember, I said it before... Analysis or explanation of
an event does not translate into excusing the event.
Except in puerile minds.

Alright, genius... Do you know if the agent was firing at the vehicle during those couple seconds? that 18-19 sec timeframe?
Who's got this answer?
