For anyone looking into assisted suicide in the US; apparently all you need to be eligible is bop a megacorp CEO in the head with a 9mm.

The assisted exit game without saving provided is not great. From what I understand, it paralyzes you and makes it feel like every part of your body is on fire until your heart eventually stops pumping blood.

I may be misremembering, but I think it also takes a really long time. 30 minutes or something of pure agony.

No one deserves that. Especially not this dude. First time offender, substantial public support, very unlikely to reoffend. They’re trying to make an example out of him. Don’t you dare hurt the shareholders.

Long story short, I can’t openly advocate for a better solution to assisted grave digger revenue, but lethal injection is one I’d strongly advise against.

Also, I have a similar problem with back pain. Not as drastic as his, but when it hits, my god, I can’t walk, sometimes it reaches the back of the neck, makes it feel like the back of my head is repeatedly being stabbed. My insurance paid for physiotherapy, but it still flares up now and then.

Ok, so the message is that you die anyway so why let yourself get arrested?

Well he exposed them so now going forward copycats make up their own mind about how they want to exit.

He is handling this like a champ, while the government looks pathetic. We don’t even know if the is the guy but they are acting like the case is settled and we are just going through paper work now.

A Cardassian trial. When he gets to the courthouse they will tell him the verdict they already reached and then how they got to it before he is executed.

Does this mean also a future president could pardon him? 🤣😁😐😞

If he runs for office they can’t prosecute him until after the election, right? RIGHT‽

I’m pretty sure it does. It won’t happen, but a president could pardon someone from federal crimes.

But since he’s facing state crimes, those can only be pardoned by the governor.

Right, but we’re discussing the new federal charges that have been added, as reported in the OP story.

So set an example out of him? Sounds familiar…

Have there been indictments yet? Grand jury could nullify, which would be hilarious.

Indictment does not require unanimous vote.

I know. I have a sad story I posted recently about when I was on a grand jury. It’s simple majority.

But there’s also no voir dire. I don’t think they asked me any questions except like “do you live here”.
