I did a search for the Defendants name assuming the case had been discussed here, but nothing came up. "In her appeal, Vertetis argued that Superior Court Judge Stephen Taylor was mistaken when telling jurors that she had a duty to retreat if she was in danger and that this could derail her self-defense claim. In fact, her attorney argued that she had no obligation to retreat under the “castle” doctrine, which says that deadly force is justified when defending yourself in your own home. The appellate court agreed with that point. “The (jury) charge not only omitted the ‘castle’ exception but expressly told the jurors — in no uncertain terms — that self-defense is not available to defendant if she could have safely retreated or was the initial aggressor. That mistake easily could have permeated the jury’s consideration of self-defense, not only with respect to the murder count but also the lesser-included homicide offenses," the appeals court wrote in its decision released Wednesday. The appeals court vacated the murder conviction and ordered a new trial." https://www.nj.com/morris/2020/03/teacher-sentenced-to-30-years-for-killing-boyfriend-a-retired-cop-wins-new-trial.html

Well, I am calling it now, it's all over but the scumminess of the Democrats by 15 April. Everyone back to work and school, toilet paper on sale, pent up demand released and bars/restaurants/hotels/airlines recovering. Won't stop them from asking for a gov't bailout (and maybe getting one). Libs will blame Trump for the CV panic ending TOO SOON. Memorial Day will be the biggest most festive and drunken one in years. These are my predictions and I am ALMOST ALWAYS RIGHT!

I'd just tell all the gangbangers that the beds are reserved for corona patients. If you want to play gangbanger games, you are on your own. Best case, violence stops. Alternate best case is the gangs declare war and a ton of them bleed out in the street.

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. F?!?!?! That is grounds for a beating when things are "normal".

Mossberg 500, bore snake, hoppes #9 oil, old sock, a case of birdshot to practice and 25 rounds of 00 buck will cost about 600 clams.

I was unfortunately within 6 feet of a coworker when he let loose an uncovered cough. His test results came back positive, so now I'm quarantined for 2 weeks. My wife is hanging onto her sanity trying to work from home and attend to our 18 month old and 5 yr old. She won't let me anywhere near the kids so I'm hoping she has a greater appreciation for how I contribute after this is over.

Ill take a shot. Various reloading powders look great at first and then fade with time. Black powder is as good as day 1. IIRC @Smokin .50 is a BP enthusiist. Thats all I got.

Gin and tonics for everyone?! In all seriousness, I’m looking forward to more data on this.

"You mean I can't buy a gun online and ship it to my house?" "Why do you need references, I don't want people to know I am buying a gun." "Why does this take 3 months, I never committed a crime?" "It's easier to buy a brand new car off the lot than to get this permit."

You crochet and your left handed and you don't like AR s

The way I am reading it, that was the issue. In the Judge's instructions to the Jury he said she had a duty to retreat, which is not correct. 2C:3-4 Use of force in self-protection. (i)The actor is not obliged to retreat from his dwelling, unless he was the initial aggressor; and https://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2013/title-2c/section-2c-3-4/ I believe there needs to be consequences against the Judge in the original case.

Looks like the MSM's plan to destroy our economy and bring down the evil Orange Man have failed once again! Back to life as usual in the next month and 30,000 by the November election! May God praise President Trump.....The greatest President in the history of our country and the world! Thanks go out to the French as well of course!

That makes as much sense as not driving on New Jersey's road between 8pm - 5am because..............you don't want to be driving when no one else is on the road? If a police officer stops me and asks why I'm on the road, I'm liable to say "I just wanted to be sure you're OK".

Didn’t you lose all your guns in a boating accident, like the rest of us did?

Freeholders' pro-gun resolution reflects their understanding of history | Letter Letter to the editor Published 5:30 a.m. ET March 18, 2020 | Updated 10:22 a.m. ET March 18, 2020 Even as crime in the city goes down, the West Side of Asbury Park struggles with the heartbreak of gun violence. Asbury Park Press In passing a resolution declaring Monmouth County a "Second Amendment Lawful Gun Owner County.” what the freeholders object to are socialists trying undermine our freedoms and our way of life in America. Every “common-sense” gun law passed only affects legal gun owners. These laws do nothing to stop violence and criminals from committing crimes with guns. These socialists are blaming the law-abiding gun owners just to get votes and get elected. Maybe the freeholders know their history and have seen what socialism is capable of doing. Those who don’t know history are bound to repeat it. Gun rights: Monmouth, Ocean freeholders back Second Amendment resolutions Hitler’s political party forced Jews to register their firearms. They then confiscated them, leaving them defenseless Maybe that’s what the freeholders object to. Jim MacKenzie Millstone Jim Mackenzie, I hope you are on this forum!

When lefties control the news certain things tend to get screened out.

“For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it,” Young implored. “We’re going to come after you and we’re going to get you.” What's he been waiting for?

Right, but he still practices here. I think he touched you in a bad place. Im sorry. :-(

Sit on your ass alone for two weeks = hero.

Ask your Doctor for some Hydrochloroquine ( Aralen ) as profalaxsys. Tell him you've got an upcoming trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and want a preventative.

I know there are at least a few unquestioning democrat faithful who are finding out what they voted for and that stuff doesn't work like their side claims.

Bingo.

Is it for city or country ham?

I think its just the way he is trying to describe it. Comparing the effects of say Malaria vs CoVid19. The drug disrupts the ability of cells to digest certain materials, interfering with environmental conditions. In one case you have a direct effect, such as malaria. The drug also accumulates in the protozoa cells themselves, interfering with the pathogen directly. With CoVid 19, it sounds like if im gathering this info correctly the effects are secondary. Cells loose the ability to process the carbohydrate that is attached to cell surface receptors of host target cells. This mean after a few days healthy cells and new cells will loose the tag the virus needs to enter. The drug doesn't disrupt the virus itself, it denies it new host cells to infect.

Didier Raoult was probably dumbing it down. Shrug. He's the smart one. It was hard to understand but I listened hard that's what he said. "Shown to be acting on the vacuole in which microbes are multiplying within the cell and it's lowering the acidity that some of the microbes love in cells"

Sorry with my background that Video was just way to "simple" and made no sense to me.. I look at how the drug actually works: Pharmacodynamics[edit] Antimalarials are lipophilic weak bases and easily pass plasma membranes. The free base form accumulates in lysosomes (acidic cytoplasmic vesicles) and is then protonated,[21] resulting in concentrations within lysosomes up to 1000 times higher than in culture media. This increases the pH of the lysosome from 4 to 6.[22] Alteration in pH causes inhibition of lysosomal acidic proteases causing a diminished proteolysis effect.[23] Higher pH within lysosomes causes decreased intracellular processing, glycosylation and secretion of proteins with many immunologic and nonimmunologic consequences. So it's a localized pH change to cellular lysosomes, which makes MUCH more sense to me now.. This is incredibly promising!!! And THANKS for the info!

Look at the Video I posted above. He's the one that says it.

My wife works for a large real estate firm in a large office building. A person who works on another floor than the one she works on tested positive. They shut her entire company down for 14 days with a work from home requirement for those that can. She has no symptoms. I work in the public sector and felt I should tell my superiors just to be safe as we take care of critical infrastructure such as water and sewer. I am now off for 14 days and must get a Dr's note before I can return to work. I am showing no symptoms. We are well stocked on all necessary supplies so we have no need to leave the house. We will both be paid so there is no financial hit for either of us. Just going to sit home maybe get to straighten up the basement and binge watch a bunch of shows.

He should be fined and suspended from the bench for such a gross disregard of the law.. Everything he said is clearly contradicted by written law.

Agree. Judge needs censure of some kind. Glad the appellate judge got it right. I'll retreat to my home. Beyond that there is no retreat...

Oh there he is!

I read somewhere that there was a press conference concerning the FDA that was supposed to take place Wed Night or Thursday morning. Then I read it was at 10am. Go figure, I can't find the article. I'm not sure what's it's about. I can hope it's this.

Surplus Glock 23 w/ a 9mm conversion barrel and 2,200 rounds of 9mm and about 400 rounds of .40 S&W and flawless! Options! .40S&W isn't going anywhere. It is a cycle. Perhaps .40 S&W will develop a less powerful cartridge... subsonic? LOL but a bigger bullet than 9mm? The significant cost of .40 S&W above 9mm would lead someone to .45 ACP, instead. .45 ACP has a more rolling recoil, instead of the sharp, straight back recoil of .45.

Nice new option! Looks cool!

Let's face the facts! The cops in places like Baltimore and Chicago don't aggressively go after the gangbanger's guns because they know that every dead hoodlum most likely reduces future crimes and killings! Let them cull their own for the betterment of humanity! Why would any sensible LEO try to stop them? It's like multiple factions of cockroaches fighting and thus destroying each other. Getting rid of the bugs at no expense! Less bugs = better lives for the law abiding......Why interfere with natural process when it works so well in all species in nature? Why interfere with natural selection?

Yes

I’m between them...so that’s a pretty normal view when I go to Lowe’s.

But I don’t have a crockpot....

2009 George Carlin! George Carlin - fear of germs - YouTube.html

Not sure what there is to jump on media wise... This is one of those times where the bullshit anti's spread is seen exactly for what it is, when their own sheep are looking to buy guns and cant... pushing the anitgun agenda might just remind them why they are left so helpless and exposed... Better to just keep your mouth shut and not remind your own supporters who made them so vulnerable... when the dust clears and people dont see a need for the guns anymore, they will kick the BS in full gear. Hard to convince someone who wants a gun and cant get one that we need to pass more laws... yey, im sure the many liberals who went to get guns only to be turned away will forget about this all next year..

Wow what a welcome!!! Thanks all. I was away for a few weeks visiting my son. Without my Chromebook. Now time to catch up. I am officially panicking about the possibility of Martial Law.

I think thats what Ned was hoping for

This is a great suggestion, and I think everyone should consider practicing fast access to their HD weapons. Many just place them in their safes, and don't think about quick access and deployment. I have mentioned about "hide in plain sight" concealment furniture for certain quick access tools. I'd doubt a sudden intruder is going to allow anyone time to run to their closet safe, plug in the code, and then decide which tool they want.

If you are looking at home defense, do not discount semi-auto as it is your best choice!! Taking initial cost of the rifle and cost of ammo into consideration as well as effectiveness for home defense without risk of over penetration......The AR-15 is your best choice by far!

You can pick up one of those police surplus pistols pretty cheap, might as well get one.

If you deal with a State Police barracks, I have found there are two additional steps to the process. Once you've gotten the approval and they type up your FID and/or P2P, a trooper has to make the run to West Trenton to pick up the paperwork. They tend to pick it up in batches, not when every piece of paperwork has been completed. That run usually is once a week, sometimes longer. When it gets to the barracks, it goes to the barracks commander's desk for him/her to sign..............when he/she gets to it. They are not there every day. This has been my experience and what has been related to me by troopers who have been assigned to the barracks I deal with.
