So, a woman had been seeing a man for about 2 weeks before they smoked marijuana together at his apartment. She claimed that she was under a psychotic episode brought on by marijuana use, and therefore not responsible for the killing of the man. The judge agreed with the defense and reduced her sentence from only 4 years in state prison to probation and community service.

The media sure didn't draw much attention to this mass shooting, and why is that? Are these becoming common-place? Sadly, for those suffering from mental disabilities, it's becoming a choice to "act out" in this fashion. Robert Card's best friend of 20+ years warned authorities about Card and mental issues, but the authorities passed Card's friend as an unreliable source. Yes, they conducted an investigation, but the source had been in trouble for multiple crimes so the authorities passed...2024-02-0126 minCop TalkEP65; 01/24/24 - Human ViolenceIs it Gun Violence or Human Violence? Tim Rupp discusses the huge difference when someone uses the phrase, "It's because of gun violence!", or, "Human violence is destructive!"

Sometimes bad people enter the world of law enforcement and make things sour for the community, but that's also few and far between. It's interesting that the law enforcement we have been taught to trust can also break that trust in the blink of an eye. As a reminder though, if it doesn't feel right it probably isn't and we should address it to the proper authorities immediately.2023-11-0925 minCop TalkEP 55: 11/01/23 - The Good, The Bad, The UglyTim Rupp talks about several stories throughout the country involving law enforcement officers.

The lack of common sense indicates that subjects think they are much faster at drawing a gun, aiming, and shooting than an officer is.

Ein Einblick in die Welt des Flugwesens

Aus der Perspektive eines Piloten berichtet Björn Rupp im Gespräch mit Tim Pritlove über Flugzeuge und das Fliegen selbst.

Wie man auch ohne das Grundgesetz zu beachten Gesetze verabschieden kann
Das 2005 in Kraft getretene Luftsicherheitsgesetz ist ein Ausbund an Unrechtsstaatlichkeit. Mit der Novelle sind alle Piloten in Deutschland verpflichtet, sich freiwillig einer "Zuverlässigkeitsüberprüfung" zu unterziehen, um ihre Pilotentätigkeit auch wirklich ausüben zu können. Dabei müssen sie nicht nur auf ihre Grundrechte im Datenschutz verzichten, sondern für diese "Dienstleistung" auch noch alle Kosten übernehmen. Das Luftsicherheitsgesetz ist im Kleinen der Prototyp für eine umfassende Umgestaltung unseres Rechtssystem in eine Überwachungsgesellschaft und verdient besondere Aufmerksamkeit.
