Also how many people will potentially suffer before another one comes forward and gets taken seriously? 🤨

Nevertheless, the judge refrained from passing sentence. “It is undeniable that he passed the line of what is permissible. The man showed a lack of respect for the victim’s physical, psychological and sexual boundaries.

I don’t know how they do it over there, but where I’m from, those are 3 things someone should probably respect if they’re going to be placed in a position requiring great trust like a doctor…

Not going to spend much time on this, but this will be good enough I think. To say this is a conspiracy without evidence seems to be verifiable disinformation.

Adverse effects of spinal manipulation: a systematic review Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

Abstract

Objective
To identify adverse effects of spinal manipulation.

Design
Systematic review of papers published since 2001.

Setting
Six electronic databases.

Main outcome measures
Reports of adverse effects published between January 2001 and June 2006. There were no restrictions according to language of publication or research design of the reports.

Results
The searches identified 32 case reports, four case series, two prospective series, three case-control studies and three surveys. In case reports or case series, more than 200 patients were suspected to have been seriously harmed. The most common serious adverse effects were due to vertebral artery dissections. The two prospective reports suggested that relatively mild adverse effects occur in 30% to 61% of all patients. The case-control studies suggested a causal relationship between spinal manipulation and the adverse effect. The survey data indicated that even serious adverse effects are rarely reported in the medical literature.

Conclusions
Spinal manipulation, particularly when performed on the upper spine, is frequently associated with mild to moderate adverse effects. It can also result in serious complications such as vertebral artery dissection followed by stroke. Currently, the incidence of such events is not known. In the interest of patient safety we should reconsider our policy towards the routine use of spinal manipulation.

Well that sounds good to me! It’s hard to undo the only stuff you’ve ever known, but it’s important for people to see it’s possible.

Lol they got to leave some wildcards out there to fill out the surprising news section.

I can’t imagine what it must be like for adults that live lives like that.

My childhood wasn’t great, but nothing on this level and I know it did a number on me. I hope things are better for you now.

The majority are, but ones made really small (think sterotypical tv/movie detective with ankle holster or shoulder holster) typically hold 5 to minimize overall size.

Even larger guns can either have 7, 8, or 10 shot if they’re made for really small cartridges for relaxed target shooting, or 5 if they are one of the modern uber magnum bear defense types.

I love these tyoes of family secrets! 😂

Probably not too many ways to create a narrative where you look intelligent for getting shot randomly.

The Ruger was a bit of a surprise. The Taurus was not. They have a pretty bad history for this. Both are striker fired semi autos, which are more mechanically complex than a revolver. The only revolver recall I saw this millennium was for a Rossi, which is also owned by Taurus. If there wasn’t a plant in Georgia, I’d think they’d have been banned from import by now from the massive PT series recall.

Also “article of clothing” isn’t the best holster option, and likely increases the odds of injuring one’s self much more than even the worst pistol to make it out the factory door.

I could be wrong of course, but if I had to put money on either him shooting himself and making a corny excuse vs even the cheapest gun on the market going off from a 2 foot fall, I’d feel very confident putting my money on his index finger. The gun in a shoe and then forgetting about the gun in the shoe don’t paint this guy as the safest character.

I was very skeptical about this story playing out as told. When looking for a more complete article, this exact story is published from 2019 from multiple sources.

While I don’t think it is a requirement all guns sold in the US need to pass the SAAMI Drop Test, I can’t imagine anything being sold that wouldn’t pass it, especially a revolver where the design likely hasn’t changed in 100 years. The drop test covers drops at various angles from 4 feet high, higher than a person sitting and taking off a shoe. Revolvers also need to have the hammer pulled back before firing or have extremely long and heavy trigger pulls.

I’m calling both fake news and if this story did happen, I can’t see it being anything but a negligent discharge from someone assuming it wasn’t loaded or just being a fool putting a finger where it didn’t belong.

This has long been my personal belief as well.

Reconstruction was as perfect a point as we had ever had to do right by all Americans. We had a clear delineation of who wanted to be an American citizen with responsibilities to each other as a nation of people, and those who would enslave others for profit. We knew the ringleaders and high-powered supporters of events that caused the deaths of over half a million Americans and much of the death and suffering of untold numbers of Africans and their American born children.

They ended up doing nothing to the vast majority of them in the hopes that morality would win a bigger victory than any punitive damages. They were naive. We were left with almost another century of indentured servitude to the very same people who caused the war, no wealth or land was redistributed, and no equal protection for freed people.

The same error or judgement carries on to this day. No penalties for the Business Plot, Nixon/Kissinger, Reagan/Bush, Bush Jr, and now the current administration. This same naivete where we as a country would accept that we can’t try a sitting president for crimes we have evidence of. This is ridiculously stupid, laughable, and disgusting. We hold regular citizens responsible for their actions, but not the rich or powerful and call ourselves a democratic republic.

My main hope now is we are looking to have an equally clear line being drawn showing who is clearly on which side once again. What seemed like an impossibility to have a clear delineation again between people seeking liberty and equality and those that would sell us all out for their own benefit is appearing. If/when control can be restored, we may just have a chance to right this wrong again.
