I think you're missing some modifiers to your calculations. First, he said he's on a boat (likely "doing flips and shit"), so, depending on the size of the whale watching boat, he could be 20/30 feet off the surface of the water.

Also, isn't there a refractory situation with looking to the horizon? I thought I read under the right conditions, even at sea level, you could see buildings 50 miles off.

I mean, do you think this guy is lying?

You should ask around That’s Entertainment on Park Ave. l would imagine they have some customers that are looking for a game.

My new house, unfortunately, doesn't get any trick-or-treaters. I'm too spaced out.

I used to live in Auburn, in a spot where lots of trick-or-treaters were in the area, but for sidewalk and traffic reasons, they'd pass by the other side of my street and keep going.

So, I'd put up a display, and lights, and music to try to entice people across the street. I'd also get full size bars from BJs, to build repeat business year to year. I didn't have to buy a ton, because I'd get less than 50 kids.

I like scaring trick-or-treaters.

You don’t understand what intent is, or murder (“first degree intentional homicide” in WI), in a legal sense. He doesn’t have to formulate the intent a half hour before the parade, 20 miles away. He injured something like 70 people and killed 6. Intent can be formulated as the act is occurring. If you choose to ignore barricades and police and PARADE FLOATS and drive full speed through a parade without stopping once, good luck arguing you didn’t have intent to kill.

Are you saying rights should not be waivable by the party possessing such rights? Your rights should be forced upon you if you don’t want them?

He has the right to remain silent. The right to not testify. Should those be forced upon him?

He’s competent. It’s his choice to defend himself if his attorneys won’t make the stupid arguments he wants to make. That should be his prerogative.
