Remember people, this is a thread about Crime AND Pun-isment. Enough of this all beef baloney!
And now a word from our sponsor, the National Livestock and Beef Board: “Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.”

Whan the sun hits your eye like a pan-seared ribeye, that’s amore…
It’s confrontation rock. Don’t expect anything enlightening besides the title connection.
In other news, apparently the DOJ plans to charge at least 100 more fools. Potentially the founder of Oath Keepers is included. <weaves fingers together in delight>
It behooves us to keep our morale up.
Stuff like this will always remind me a great but short-lived TV series called Outsourced (based on the movie of the same name). An American is trying to run a call-center in India and at one point shows the workers footage of an American “riot” at a Black Friday sale. They were unimpressed. One comments:
As riots go this is rather tame. I see no tear gas, no batons, no one set on fire. I could riot circles around those people.
I LOVED that show! I guess you and I were the only two people in the world who watched it. The movie in 2006 spun off into the TV series in 2010 (one 22-episode season).

Excellent.
I watched it too, but after a half dozen episodes it grew kind of stale.
I’m easy. Except when I’m not.
Thank you for my weekend binge, started at the movie, then the series. Should finish it up today.
They arrested the ones involved in the assault and death of Officer Sicknick.
I know it’s a trivial point, particularly in this context, but…“sandwich operator”?
Hey, we’ve all seen what happens when just any old Joe picks up a sandwich with no formal training. I could tell you tales, like the Night of the Dark Grey Poupon… turns out everyone involved had skipped the apprenticeship phase of their classes.
Sounds like they can’t prove causation. No charges relating to the death itself.
Yet. Get those two under some serious interrogation and we’ll see who flips on who. I seriously doubt they will be able to make a murder charge stick, but manslaughter is still a very real possibility. I think the chance of spending more than a few years in a Federal prison will prove sufficient to loosen some resolve.
Keep your rye comments to yourself!
The Washington Post says the autopsy results aren’t available yet, for whatever reason:
Questions remain about whether anyone will be held criminally responsible in Sicknick’s death. Autopsy results for Sicknick were still pending as of Monday, according to a spokeswoman for the deputy mayor of public safety in D.C. Without a cause of death, his case has not been established as a homicide, although charging papers allege that evidence of an assault on Sicknick is clear on video.
The Washington Post
Ron Johnson (R)-acist, Wisconsin, has a “thought” about the insurrectionist cop killers- They would never break the law! The only thing missing is the preface “I’m not a racist, but…”
They may never be able to show cause of death, as the post from Naita shows.
Even if one flips and puts both of them there, with intent to assault cops with the chemical spray, they still have to prouve that the spray caused the death.
Unless the prosecutors can prove causation, beyond a reasonable doubt, they’ve only got serious assault and conspiracy charges.
