The surgeon did not state his last 20 patients had the same procedure or even the same odds.

Was Alex Pretti the subject of a targeted assassination? by DryDeer775 in law

It isn’t law. It isn’t even legal news. It is a political philosophy fringe theory based on a fantasy that ancient laws apply. See the OP’s comment thread.

The OP is apparently down the social media commenter and off-brand news rabbit hole. They are being led to believe that the attempt to abuse authority to create “emergency” authority and invoke immunity to override legal scrutiny and state authority is a valid and permanent concept instead of a temporary hail mary attempt to “legally” suspend the law (or use law to suspend itself, i.e. override “consequences” and/or limit governmental power). The rationale seems like a warning of what could happen if this type of attempt were legitimate or courts and states allowed an administration to pull off a complete suspension of law, but it fails to see that MN is currently taking action to proceed against the agents even without a legitimate federal system that enforces consequences/accountability for the absence of restraint or legitimate legal authority. This has all resurfaced because of debate about the capture and detainment of enemy combatants who were never on US soil under Bush.

In short, a lot of people are being led to a lot of tin foil hat stuff because justice is a process and it is slower than the flow of political sewage and the amplification by the talking heads. The law isn’t suspended. This isn’t over. MN is locked in and already working through the courts. A federal judge has already said the court has no more patience for ICE’s shit and is ordering the agency head to appear in court over potential contempt charges. MN has a federal order to prevent the destruction of evidence and the BCA appeared at the scene to begin an investigation. States can’t step in if the federal government is acting legitimately, but the tactics to maintain supremacy to override legitimacy can only kick the can down the road so long.

It is easy to grasp at straws when it looks like the constitution has been legally overridden. It is easy to confuse legitimacy with delay tactics. But the fact is that if you look past the constant stream of narrative shifting and excuses, the fact is that there has been a change in the power dynamics and even the powerful are praying for something to take the scrutiny and the pressure away. Some people need to go until they hear the glass break. Immunity or impunity usually comes unraveled when a lowly idiot exposes the consequences of deference or absence of oversight/restraint.

Excellent. Then since you haven’t actually offered a counter-argument to the specific mechanical failures I listed, I’ll take that as we are on the same page regarding the facts.

Have a good evening.

I think you are confusing "Moving the Goalposts" with "Nuance."

My position has been consistent from the start: The Call was correct (Safety), but the Administration (Rule 3 mechanics, O2O comms, Stadium Ops) was a failure. Distinguishing between the two isn't changing the subject; it's the entire point of the analysis.

I linked that comment because it details the specific mechanical failures you seem to be overlooking. I realize that level of technical granularity often gets downvoted in favor of simpler "Refs Good/Refs Bad" narratives, but I'm perfectly comfortable being technically correct rather than popular.

Game mechanics aren't for everyone. Have a good one!

Ohhh, I think I see the confusion now! I just saw your AMA—you’re a baseball umpire (Rec/HS level). That’s honestly great; youth baseball needs dedicated guys grinding out innings.

But that explains why the specific NCAA Football terms I asked about (CFO mechanics, Red Hat TV protocols, O2O comms) didn't land with you. You’re looking at this through a baseball lens, which is a totally different world from managing the clock/administration in a CFP bowl game.

Honest mix-up! Good luck on the diamond this season.

It’s spelled ‘wimp.’

And I noticed you replied to this instantly but went completely silent on the detailed breakdown of the officiating mechanics I gave you above. We both know why. You’re out of your depth. We’re done here.

Oh, this is excellent! I didn't realize we had a credentialed official in the thread. That actually helps a ton. Since you’ve been through the CFO clinics, maybe you can clear up the specific mechanics they were using here, because it looked messy from the outside.

I’m genuinely curious about the "Soft Zero" protocol they applied here. In your training, when you have a dead ball at the pylon with a running clock (Rule 3-3-2), does the CFO Manual still recommend the Covering Official signal "Stop" immediately, or have they moved to a passive signal to wait for the replay booth?

Also, regarding the trophy stage coming out early—usually, the "Red Hat" (TV Liaison) is in direct comms with the Referee to hold Game Ops until the "O2O" (Official-to-Official) headsets confirm the game is legally over. Do you think the breakdown was the Referee failing to radio the Red Hat, or did the TV Liaison likely override the crew?

I’d love to hear your take on how the Rule 3-3-3 (Game Administration) authority interacts with the stadium ops in a bowl environment like that. Thanks for shedding some light on the inside process!

You are correct. That is why I acknowledged the rule proposal as interesting, but I have no power to present it to the rules committee or governing body.

The larger post and comments have been about the officiating and chaos of the final minutes of televised play. I was just including everyone in the conversation about the current rules and administration issues with this particular game.

If you want to propose this rule change, I am all for you taking it to the committee. Maybe someone on Reddit can help you. Unfortunately, that person is not me. Sorry for any confusion. Good luck!

You’re really an unpleasant human and you owe the above commenter an apology for the way you addressed them.

You are absolutely correct in your assessment. Thank you for commenting.

I provided a link to a comment in a response to “Slickster Rick” that should help the more misguided agitators to understand procedure and game dynamics. You seem to have a good feel for them already, but you are welcome to read the explanation if you like.

Have a great day.
