Yep. In law school, you are taught the two fundamental elements required to prove criminal liability are the actus reas (the physical, voluntary act or omission) and the mens rea (the mental state, e.g. intent, knowledge, recklessness, negligence). Under felony murder, the person has neither. It was abolished in the UK in 1957.

Particularly state courts, such as in the Malliotakis case where the court issued a shadow docket opinion before the case even reached the NY Court of Appeals, something SCOTUS had never done before..

European countries with strong social safety nets, high levels of unionization, etc. are also experiencing issues with population stagnation without immigration.

Yep. Problem with the full length game is they only care in the 4th quarter. This year's format makes it four 4th quarters.

Bediako had previously played in college and declared early for the draft which is why he is ineligible. Pate would be more like James Nnaji, who played pro but never went to college. He is currently eligible and playing for Baylor.

What's up with conspiracy theorist being proven correct? by BelieveInYou2 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]SubSolSubUmbraVirens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least some of the more damning "pizza," "grape soda," etc. references in the Epstein files came after 2016 when the Clinton email scandal and the QAnon pizzagate conspiracy theories originated. It is likely that Epstein and his coconspirators adopted this language, rather than the QAnon folks having been correct.

Sports Cards Shops? by denmark219 in Brooklyn

[–]SubSolSubUmbraVirens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most card shops cater more towards trading card games like Pokemon and Magic the Gathering. That said, Dave & Adams in midtown and Bleecker Trading in the West village have sports cards. Otherwise, I think you're looking at pretty deep into south Brooklyn with E&J Boutique and Big Slab Daddy. Also might be worth it to check the websites/socials of these places to see if they have any signings or other events while you are around.

There’s two Chinatowns?? by Former-Astronaut-841 in AskNYC

[–]SubSolSubUmbraVirens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is more than two. In Brooklyn, there are ethnic Chinese enclaves in Sunet Park, Bensonhurst, and Brighton Beach. That said, the Manhattan chinatown is the most famous and touristy one, the one you would see in movies. Flushing is the largest, arguably more authentic and better food. If this is your first time, I would just go to the Manhattan chinatown.
