Have you ever lost classified documents on a train and been so drunk that you got a concussion?
No?
Then you must not be Lt. General Antonio Aguto.
“It was a tragic, tragic accident.”
He then “panicked” and buried her under the concrete floor of his garage.
Lots of stupidity there, mainly in thinking rational people would buy that story.
*tacking on charges of “improper disposal of human remains” or “abuse of a corpse” in such cases seems like piling on IMHO.
**a better defense: “my client was showing Ms. Sullivan around his garage, when she fell in the hole and startled him, so that he accidentally discharged the gun he happened to be carrying, and afterwards, remorseful, he felt it would be best to just fill in the hole.”
My figuring is about 4.3 Stone.
Don’t forget the difference between Troy and Avoirdupois ounces.
At today’s price of just about $5k per Troy ounce, $3.6 million would be 720 Troy ounces, which would be about 656 Av. ounces, which would be just about 41 Av. pounds of gold, which would be 2.93 stone or 18.63 kg.
Since the price of gold has gone down a bit since the original post about the gold donation, these numbers are a little larger than they would have been at that time.
“It’s what she would have wanted, bless her soul.”
Thanks for the good math. I just skipped the troy → avordupois step as close enough. Especially given the volatility in Gold prices, that 10% difference might not mattercdaybto day.
OTOH, those charges will stick. The guy might, might walk on the murder charge.
Think of that charge stacking as a prosecutorial insurance policy.
This is from a month ago - not sure if it was posted before.
I bring you: Jon McNaugahyde’s (McMAGAhyde’s?) glorious painterly masterpiece, THE MAGA SYMPHONY.
Is this really from Primus’s “Green Naughyhyde?
Today I saw a non-descript car with a bumper sticker:
I
The Constitution
Decent bet the ignornant MFer is actually a trumper and totally hates what the constitution actually means. And totally loves how his (good bet it’s a “his”) hero the regime leader is using the Constitution only to wipe his own ass.
I’ll wager it was a Dodge Ram 3500.
Nope. As I said, it was a nondescript car. Generic white Toyota or Nissan or Kia sedan. Not even a country club Republican-mobile.
Why couldn’t it be someone who actually does love the constitution, in a completely non-ironic way? Would no such person ever show such a bumper sticker, or at any rate would the odds against it be so huge?
Your certainty, or even “decent bet,” that it is an ignorant MFer is disconcerting to me. It seems a small amount of evidence for such vehement condemnation.
@LSLGuy lives in Florida. 'Nuff said?
The huge Gadsden flag flying out of the bed of the pickup gives them away. And in my state, they also have the Gadsden license plate. Yep, that’s a real thing.
Today, I saw a non-descript car with a bumper sticker;
WE LIKE WOMEN ARMY! WE LIKE WOMEN! OUR ENEMIES DO NOT LIKE WOMEN!
Your move, pal.
Ghanaian man declares that he has received a vision from God calling him to be the new Noah, uses social media to invite people to come to Ghana to avoid the coming flood in his ark (which he didn’t actually build), then gets arrested for posting fake news when the world fails to end. (The first article is in West African Pidgin, but is readable by English-speakers.)
Marco Rubio on first violin? I think this “artist” did not study orchestras terribly hard.
Florida has had Gadsden license plates for years. They’re not exclusively found on pickup trucks, but they’re seemingly more common on them.
At the last election 100% of the folks I saw with Gadsden plates or flags at their home who also had election-related signs were trumpers.
Because the Far Right has beating the drum for the last 30 years about unconstitutional federal overreach and how the Republican mission (even pre-trump) was to “restore” the primacy of the Constitution. Which in their telling means shrinking the federal government to powerlessness and “restoring” the states as the most significant form of government.
As a separate matter, very simple sound-bitey slogans are a sign of RW thinking. Somebody actually wanting to reign in the current criminal regime and its wildly illegal overreach would have a sticker with more than 3 words on it.
I certain admit I might be reading the sticker-owner’s intent wrong. But I doubt it.
