    The Trayvon Trial

    911 vs. non-emergency POLICE DISPATCHER - the latter actually implies a higher severity to most people. After all 911 operators when you're calling for police intervention usually transfer you to that number. (Not to mention Z called both lines - he likely was just abbreviating since they're...

    The Trayvon Trial

    Likely he didn't lie, just screwed up the timeframe. He had the number right, just the timeframe was wrong.

    Heh, so I was right that it was doable - just... already considered on WOTC's part for PCs. So weird that consoles have such an obvious workaround and PC doesn't though.

    The Trayvon Trial

    We have no evidence he didn't do those things either though as well - technically speaking. Thus why it comes down to "reasonable doubt".

    The Trayvon Trial

    Not that I've seen - all witnesses were after the fight had started. People have put that theory together from the phone call stuff and Z's quotes.

    From what I've been reading the bandwidth has been covered already for the units and it's astronomical for the PS4 and better than PC for X1. As much as I'd love to see some sort of crash and burn like that, I think it's highly unlikely.

    I'll probably be pissed then - but honestly almost anything with the needle largely EQ1 way for a change would be at least worth a trial for me even if it's say 75% EQ1/25% the rest. After all to a degree EQ1 isn't even 100% EQ1 for the heyday anymore - and while it's not "the same" it's at...

    The Trayvon Trial

    khalid: I've heard people quote studies (although no idea which ones they were using) that overcharging does tend to get ALL charges dropped - that a large portion end up just considering the top charge and end up ignoring all lesser. But again I don't know which ones they were quoting or their...

    The Trayvon Trial

    Depends how he instigated - from the absolutes we know there's nothing he's done that would've absolutely put him at fault.

    The Trayvon Trial

    "Complete truth"? Horseshit - you've got different people saying the conversation was different leading up to the altercation. You've got eyewitnesses saying contrasting things. You've got injuries that range from "minor" to "serious" depending on the report. You've got very selective vision...

    The Trayvon Trial

    I personally believe he didn't do anything wrong (well, beyond breaking protocol to be a little gungho - but that's just bad judgment not "wrong" from a legal standpoint) but there's not 100% solid evidence to state that, it's just my feeling on the matter. I just see tons of room for the...

    I think their statement that "Ellie and Joel's story is over but the world still has more stories to tell" or whatever quote of theirs makes it pretty clear too that they're planning to do SOMETHING with it. Even if it's just licensing it out for novels or whatever. But more games seems the most...

    "New IP" generally implies a franchise - and they're not working on PS3 titles anymore. So it's not a stretch to think so.

    The Trayvon Trial

    To have an opinion? My opinion is pro-Z. Legal certainty is another matter. Which again because of doubt will end up being pro-Z. Some of you out to acquit Z seem to want to ignore how "If" cases here could line up poorly for him - it's not likely without some sort of damning evidence that...

    The Trayvon Trial

    You don't have to be losing a fight to yell for assistance. If he felt he had just apprehended someone doing something wrong, stopping and then hollering for help is exactly the appropriate thing to do. Hell, I've seen people in fights "yell for assistance" while they're directly aggressing the...

    The Trayvon Trial

    Right because answering a question about a single facet when a single facet is asked about is "dumb as hell" when you're the one presuming I was saying that he should be hung because of it. When I've been saying all along I would've preferred a charge even lesser than manslaughter since he was...

    The Trayvon Trial

    And closeness doesn't make someone a better or worse witness with history as a guide - eyewitnesses are frequently wrong with something even happening inches from them at times. Whitewashing witnesses that said something you don't prefer because they're "further" ignores the fact that witnesses...

    Being on top doesn't stop someone from being able to call for help, FYI. One thing taught to some people (in fact I was when I was younger in my defense courses that were given in NJ or DE [I remember my approx age when, approx enough that it covers both] decades ago) is to if attacked and in...

    It was a question of SYG - I answered that, neanderthal. I wasn't saying there wasn't anything else in play. LEARN TO FUCKING READ WHAT SOMEONE SAYS WITHOUT ADDITIONAL BULLSHIT THAT YOU IMAGINE.

    PS - Joeboo - On Gamestop confences checked my paystubs, I think it was 97 or 98 (was only a full manager a small part of 96 so it seems unlikely it was 96 - like literally weeks into my management if it was in August that year - and only had the opportunity to go once of the three years I do...

    The Trayvon Trial

    Last I checked it's like 3-1 for people that say Trayvon was yelling for help amongst the witnesses. So assuming those witnesses are accurate (and my ratio could be off, lets assume there's just one - but even one might be right while others are wrong) and Trayvon was yelling for help for 40 sec...

    No black eye and only some bleeding on the head - and head cuts can bleed like hell for even a very minor wound. Hell, I've had similar photo opportunities (well, I've got full hair so it would've been obscured) from a couple falls into counters and such that were minor as shit and didn't even...

    In the case of how SYG is written - his hypothetical would make Zimmerman guilty - regardless of your opinion of right or wrong. The person who wrote the bill has stated as much (similar to how if he did follow Trayvon the bill does technically cover that although it was against his intent and...

    Not really - can be used to show his state of mind - he keeps trying to say he did X/Y/Z by the book and exactly to the letter of how they should be done, yet he's not done other things to the letter of the rules he's supposed to follow. Credibility, etc. Probably won't matter since there's...

    Funny - I'll tell my buddy who landed in prison after a bad "fight or flight" response from a cop brandishing at him and going into "fight" mode that it's apparently completely impossible for anyone to ever go fight mode next we talk. But nope, fucking clueless on the matter - derp derp derp...

    Heh - and that's just assuming a US PS+ sub at that - I've not bothered going through the hoops for a EU or JP one, but apparently you can access all 3 PS+ even on the same console if you care to (although JP isn't in english most people only do EU and US). Games don't have that much overlap...

    Legally permitted is not the same as following protocol - I was stating he wasn't following protocol not breaking the law.
