[Raoul Duke III]

Becoming sadly more obvious that murder, rape and torture is absolutely part of the RuSSian army's operational toolkit. More liberated towns with exactly the same evidence of war crimes.

This is exactly the same as the SS perpetrated in these territories generations ago. Barbarity. It's probably becoming numbing to us but it's important to stay engaged with what's going on here and to stay outraged.

[Solksjaer!]

It's 12 people in a room. It's difficult nowadays to get 10/12 people to agree on how to wipe their arse. I wouldn't think there was anything sinister afoot.

Was Jury leader once. . So frustrating how stupid some people are. One fellow Jurer handed me a piece of paper in court. This line of questioning is going nowhere . Please object. WTF i mouthed. Then some 'citizen joe' refused to be budged as his beyond a reasonable doubt point wasnt disproven. The judge looked at me when i said we couldnt reach a verdict . At least the fucker didnt get off. Bah.

There is literally no way to prove facts any more . Its mind numbing the outs they use. Trumpites were masters of it.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

A 14 year old kid admits to carrying a knife planning to steal money from a woman to buy drugs, to stabbing a woman in the neck with the knife he brought with him. Agreed to plead guilty to manslaughter in an effort to dodge a murder charge.
A Dublin Jury then fails to reach a verdict on either charge of manslaughter or murder.
Until it's proven otherwise to me I am working on the assumption that our jury system is irredeemably broken by way of proximity of criminals to juries in our little country. No idea how to fix it but in this case the only question here is were the jury imbeciles or were they nobbled either by being threatened or bought?

I know someone on that jury. He's not stupid.

I think you are confusing what you think the law is, with what the law actually is.

This guy went out with the intention of robbing, rather than the intention of stabbing. He then ended up stabbing.

But there's a very clear legal distinction between the intention to stab, and stabbing someone while intending to do something else. Thats the jury difficulty point.

The jury have recognised this, and have decided that the prosecution tried too much to press the case that it was murder, when it was clearly some form of aggravated manslaughter.

And the prosecution clearly didn't spend enough time creating the base case of the actual crime.

Its not a fault of the jury, its a fault of the Irish criminal system that allows prosecutions to be undecided on the intended outcome and simultaneously prosecute for both murder and manslaughter. Its a horrible idea that gives the prosecution too much leeway.

Which they fucked up in this case.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

Out with a few people tonight in Rennes. Mainly Irish guys.

A lot of people are PhDs of a certain Trinner prof. Very polite, mainly Chinese, so extra polite.

But they got a 5am flight with the Trinner prof from Dublin. Said that he had suggested they have a few drinks before takeoff, and he had two full bottles of wine in the two hours they were waiting, then a full bottle on the flight, then two bottles on the train to Rennes. Then a half little bottle of whiskey when they were in a pub waiting to get into the hotel, then two bottles of wine over dinner. Then I met him and he had at least another two bottles worth of wine.

How the fuck do you handle that?

I was around in his house a few weeks ago and he was trying to open something for lunch and couldn't open it as his hand were shaking too much.

Thats kinda brutal intervention territory, surely? Like, being able to handle that amount (now he had to be carried home by his PhDs, but who hasn't done that among the professorial class), but clearly having side effects of that nature is surely not normal?

This post makes no sense. If he killed a person. he committed manslaughter, Not being murder doesn’t mean he gets off. It means he’s convicted of manslaughter.
You’ve mentioned in the past that simultaneous murder/manslaughter charges are unfair and seem to mistakenly believe that it’s an Irish thing. It’s not. It’s a widespread concept in common law. Lesser included offense. It’s not up to the prosecution to decide ahead of trial. The trial is literally how they determine what happened.

I don’t know any details of the case. He sounds he’s guilty from the above. But SP said he was pleading guilty to manslaughter. Must be some circumstance and jury knew the was details.

9x bottles of wine and a half litre of whiskey in a 24 hour period?

That can't be right Hitch.

Would the witnesses be talking about quarter bottles maybe?

They didn't even bother to hide the evidence.

This is a very well made doc series on Agri Contractors around the country, very interesting.

So what? The entire world is aware that everything they say is a lie. They don't even try to hide that fact, it's purely for domestic consumption inside the dictatorship.

[Raoul Duke III]

Looks like Western intelligence (ze Germans in this case) managed to intercept signals from some Russian units involved in committing war crimes. No surprise to learn that:

1. this is part and parcel of Russian military strategy i.e. approved and condoned from the top and,
2. the Russians are lying their Nazi asses off about it, as per usual

That, say sources familiar with the audio, indicates that the murder of civilians has become a standard element of Russian military activity, potentially even part of a broader strategy. The intention is that of spreading fear among the civilian population and thus reducing the will to resist.

That would be the dream. Not sure there's a better weekend of sport on the calendar. Work thing later i can't get out of and she's headed off on a Hens for the first time in forever in the morning so i'm stuck solo with the young ones until Sunday afternoon. I'm absolutely devastated.

[Keane]

You could speculate that atrocities were being used as an attempt to goad the Ukrainian military to weaken strategic defenses (e.g. around Kiev) in order to come to the aid of the civilians in Mariupol or wherever.

I've been working my finely-honed Majors betting system for a few years now: always back an American with a stupid name.

I've given Xander Schauffle a couple of goes but the algorithim has been reprogrammed and has come up with the most likely winners as being:

1. Corey Connors
2. Talor Gooch

Thank me on Sunday.

Damn, I somehow missed the fact there is a yank called Greaser playing this yoke. What a name, destined for glory no doubt.

Don't forget Mick Wallace and Clare Daly who are an order of magnitude worse.

I think part of their evil "strategy" is to add to the ever growing exodus of refugees...obviously puts pressure on the receiving countries and in time the situation will become politicised here and elsewhere taking the focus off unity. Or at least that's part of the overall aim I would think.

I see my old college in Rennes has moved more into the sustainability space by having a herd of goats wandering the lands to eat the grass and retire the lawnmowers.

Is that actually more sustainable though? What with methane etc.

I don't know. I must interrogate them more. I'm wondering now you say it if that's what they meant (as I mentioned they were Chinese), as that would move the dial back towards normality a fair bit.

One of the PhD students last night has built a trading empire in sneakers. He was wearing a pair of what he claimed were €3k sneakers. No reason to doubt him. But he was showing me his investment portfolio of sneakers. 100s of 1000s worth. One pair of sneakers worth €20k.

Their 'sanctions hurt the innocent Russian people line' is really rich given all the receipts we have for their call for sanctions on Israel.

History won't judge well anyone showing Russian sympathies. Nazi sympathisers had the benefit of denial. We're in the screenshot age now.

On that note, this George Galloway tweet was actually hilarious ..

Isn't all politics student politics? I don't think it somehow gets better as people mature. Like the ones I remember from 1990 were Ivanna Bacik president of TCDSU, Clare Daly president of DCUSU, Ruth Coppinger who along with Clare was on the central committee of the Militant Tendency.

I took it to mean a naggin anyhow and half that is about 3 shots.....

Unless it was one of the tiny tiny ones - which half of is barely worth talking about.
