Murder is the most obvious example.

I've just found this on Mind website.

How do you force someone to take meds in the community? Is there a system in place? I don't know anything about this.

Realistically, what's the alternative?

It seems to have been a damp squib. Two hours of exactly the same boring whining as usual. Although Trump does seem to be struggling to speak clearly, almost like a mild speech impediment. That could just be the Twitter platform. But he sounds a bit like Elmer Fudd at times.

This is a very important point. The Republicans have been utter scum for a long time and in recent decades they try to bring down any opposing politician who has served. Not just John Kerry. I've been reading that many of those with military experience are put off from standing.

Some argue that austerity was a political choice which has led to low growth. Although the deficit was obviously high, that was due to a one off event (the GFC) and it could have been managed without such drastic cuts, as other crises have been in the past. Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize winning...

Trump is having an interview with Elon Musk late tonight on twitter. His advisers desperately want him to dial down the crazy. Is a love in with Musk really the best way to do this?

But it's not really turned into a big story. Yet anyway, and they've really been trying for almost a week now. He basically had a slip of the tongue. He's never claimed to have been in combat. In fact there are plenty of instances of him saying specifically that he was never in combat. And...

It sounds like the killing is a complex case. I've not looked into it yet. As regards riots, I can see why, as a matter of public policy, all governments like to have strong sentences for rioting. It was the same in 2011. They obviously don't want the country to spiral out of control so they...

This doesn't really seem to be going anywhere either. They've been banging this drum for almost a week now.

I don't know the details. I'm just trying to get my head around the guidance.

The story seems to have been going for a few days without gaining any traction. I've no idea how serious it is. What's happened to gas112, I used to rely on him for anti-Democrat/pro-Trump stories to look into!

It sounds a bit tough, but here are the sentencing guidelines for violent disorder and I can see why they got what they did. The criminal justice system really seems to not like rioters. https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-court/item/violent-disorder-2/

The deficit was definitely a lot larger, but the public services were in much better shape. Everything just seems so hopeless now. And we seem stuck with endless low growth.

Not specifically. There are all sorts of ways a drunk person could end up being online and posting something they don't even remember.

I was actually only meaning voluntary intoxication, and was wondering whether that might theoretically be a potential defence in a case like this.

I was purely talking about whether hate could be an aggravating factor for this offence In both of the far right riot cases decided so far "Timing of incident - particularly sensitive social climate" was found to be an aggravating factor.

I was covering all bases.

There are some crimes where being too drunk to form the required intent is a defence.
