Define criminal?

Does he have a criminal record? Has he had a trial in a court of law that found him guilty of a crime? If the answer to both is no, ipso facto, he’s not a criminal.

 

Frankly, if you had any sway in the world and went out and called him a criminal and it caused him damages, he could sue you for defamation. 

 

Got home from work, went out to the yard to smoke a joint, dog chases some squirrels and rips his dew claw clean out. He’s broken the same claw numerous times, but never had it broken right off like this. Poor guy.

You're right! Now that it's with Goodell, he is sure to handle it the right way.  He's never made a gaffe with any of these things.  

FWIW - the victims have accepted what they believe is reasonable compensation for his behavior.  It's not a minimization of what he did to say he's not a criminal. I think that's just a factual statement.   I understand also that you can say what he did was criminal or should be criminal but it doesn't change that someone else can point to the lack of a charge and conviction to say he isn't one.  

Yes I in a previous post said as much about the victims and said I hope the compensation they received helps them heal and move forward.

Having said that the definition of a criminal is a person who has committed a crime.

If one doesn't believe what deshaun did was a crime then one is justified in saying one doesn't think he's a criminal.

Whether or not a court chose not to press charges doesn't=no crime.

I believe his victims, I believe he committed crimes against them, whether those are felony, misdemeanor or Infractions is another matter all together yet crimes non the less.

Would Watson be able to play while the NFL appeals the ruling if it drags into the season?

Oh I finished my joint before coming back in. I’m not an amateur 

So the Texans pay off some victims because they knew about Watson’s behavior and now they’re going to benefit off what seems likely to be a yearlong suspension. 

That’s something…

Again the definition of a criminal is someone who has committed a crime.

While a court of law never found him guilty of a crime that same court of law also never found him not guilty of a crime as they chose for possible reasons outlined by iggles not to prosecute.

Again that decision does not erase the claims the victims made or mean Watson did not commit them, just means a court of law hasn't ruled on it either way.

In which case I used first hand accounts of 25 witnesses/ victims for my   proof of what I think is  criminality, to which I would consider him a criminal.

If a person murders someone else but never gets caught would you be ok calling his behavior non criminal be cause he never had his day in court?

As for him suing me for defamation, as I said since a court never ruled that he was not, not guilty than it's not established that he is not, not guilty which still legally leaves reason to presume he's guilty.

Like I said if one doesn't agree what he did was criminal just say that, Instead of trying to use the semantics if court law to justify ones view.

If one doesnt think what he did was "that bad", then that's minimizing the negative impacts his claimed actions had on his victims.

So I'll ask you this 

Do you believe the 25 victims in this case? 

Whether or not you believe it was " that bad" is beside the point as if you believe the victims you also believe how they say Watsons actions negatively impacted them.

@TorontoEaglePoor pup, I was actually just reading about this and a few people had said that vets  will sometimes remove dogs dew ckaws to keep them from getting ripped off.

I thought who the heck has ever had a dog that ripped off their dew claw???

Apparently you and a bunch of other people.🤷‍♂️

Hope your dog is ok and it heals up quickly and cleanly.

That's pretty standard amongst dog sled breeders.  Remove the dew claw before the dogs even have their eyes open.  Their nerve endings aren't developed there yet, and it is a simple matter of a hemostat pinch.  It doesn't even bleed, and the dogs can't catch them while running for the rest of their life.

Makes sense.

Like I said I never really thought about it until a few days ago when I read about and a person at the dog park I take my dog to mentioned it.

Not sure if there is any biological advantage or function of a dew claw or if they are like tails on some humans🤔

Thanks.

And yeah after the second time it happened I asked about permanent removal, but they generally only do it for puppies. It rips once every two years or so

Doesn't really matter during pre-season. Rodgers always counted as a spot on the roster, now he can just practice. That's the only change.

Elliott played during the appeal process, so don't see why this would be any different.

Pretty standard with most breeders. Didn't even have the option when I got my Boston two years ago.

Enough with these rental players like Rodgers, Howard, etc. They are the equivalent of the drunk 2am dial for the Eagles.

No argument there.

Question on Ductless heat pump/AC systems. 

Bryant vs Daikin

Anyone work in the field installing these things? Anyone have these brands in their home?

My main want is heating the house in the winter so Id like to know which is more efficient in the super cold. 

But Im also wondering if there is a difference in reliability/longevity, maintenance cost, etc.

@Agent23 I think you may work in commercial systems, but maybe you have some insight?
