A p0rn0grapher v/s an alleged thief who died while assaulting an armed police officer.

That's not an equivalence! What was the principle MB was trying to defend, by allegedly stealing and then assaulting a police officer - Might is Right?

Shalav

I think the teenagers who allegedly steal and bully people smaller than themselves get too cocky for their own good. They also die for doing stupid things. Happens all over the world under all sorts of circumstances all the time. The 'tragedy' of MB's death is not unforeseen given his alleged behavi...

Shalav

Shreeman Me - I don't have a dog in this show, just this feeling that MB is not the innocent victim as some want to make him out to be. He made stupid moves after allegedly committing a robbery, he died for it. I probably be leaving soon too. Other things to do, but I did want to point out that our ...

Shalav

LOL! Right! Showing anger and frustration while getting arrested is == instant death and completely justified. I just hope that none of our kids turn out to be hot headed, coz you know Angry Young Men end up getting shot by cops. And ofcourse the Jury is final, justice has been served. Case is clos...

Shalav

I saw that autopsy report and for me it is perfectly possible to say that the injuries are consistent with a man who has his right arm up and head down trying to protect his head from being hit by something. All shots, if they were fired in quick succession, the bloke may not have had time to fall ...

Shalav

A fleeing suspect once he has assaulted anyone is shot in the US - it happens to every race. That is rather harsh. I would want the suspect to be brought to justice, not killed. Even if I was the victim of that assault. So would I - however in this case I feel its a waste to spend my sympathy and o...

Shalav

He was shot 7 times, both the govt. and private autopsies don't disagree there. 12 cartridges is a news story, not how many time he was shot. I am trying to show a different perspective - that MB was not a helpless victim randomly shot on the street in broad daylight. He was allegedly a bully and a ...

Shalav

A fleeing suspect once he has assaulted anyone is shot in the US - it happens to every race. Suspects are not allowed to flee after committing an offense in front of the police. The police officer was right to follow and try to arrest him. The angle of the shots show a different story from what his ...

Shalav

What about due process for the 'criminal'? Was he not entitled to court of law? And emptying 12 bullets into the 'criminal' is it not excessive force? There were 7 bullets, not 12. Here is a link to the Private Autopsy report conducted after the official one. There is no significant mis-match betwe...

Shalav

He did not get what you call "the death penalty" for thieving and bullying, he got what you call "the death penalty" for being stupid and assaulting a police officer. You are correct it there is no justification for creating a situation where the only option is to be shot multipl...

Michael Brown was not an innocent victim randomly shot on the streets of Ferguson, MO. He was a suspect in a strong arm robbery case (There is video evidence of him bullying and stealing from some desi store owner) not 5 minutes before he was stopped by Wilson. LiveLeak Video He was 6'4" tall a...

Huh... Who said that?

Further why worry about who's mad at us, so long if whoever we invite is good for us (hypothetically speaking).

The State visit could have been postponed to Jan if invite had gone out to Russia.

I'm actually ambivalent about this invite, time will tell.

The Chief Guest of the Republic Day is more than a State Dinner equivalent. It signals India's long term political and foreign policy framework. Wonder what the BJP and NaMo see as significant? It's probably not BO, just signalling a tilt towards the US perhaps? FSU HoG's have been invited, but not ...

Hobbes Nothing stopped them from investing in building expertise in private light aircraft manufacture. They could have gained the expertise even from building gliders, but such is not the case. I don't say don't privatize, but let's not make the cure worse than the disease. As for L&T etc... ar...

Despite popular belief, building aircraft ALSO requires experienced people. Just blueprints will not cut it. ...

GPS satellites send time signals. The accuracy of the receiver is dependent on if it is capable of decoding the transmitted time signal in milliseconds, microseconds or even more fine grained time blocks. GPS receivers are just that - receivers. They have no broadcast ability. Based on satellite sig...

Solar system escape velocity at Earth orbit is ±42 km/s.

You'll need big probes carrying lots of fuel. Even the Voyager and Pioneer probes had to use slingshots around Jupiter and Saturn to achieve escape velocity.

Consider this - oceans full of Cyanobacteria took about two billion years to bring Earths oxygen level to about 8% - enough to allow for life to get started properly in the "Cambrian Explosion".

India'd be happy to purchase a new-build bespoke carrier and associated air-wing at $2b-$3b, just show the MOD where.

Or is the sky jump in place to make sure that the aircraft has sufficient height to make sure that transition from wings not generating enough l...

John, is there any reason you assume the LA class limitation is a weight limitation rather than a design limitation? Just curious.

These efforts are now admired by Indians as the world-class hulls and weapons systems they deploy. It took them 50+ y...

You don't have to shoot at someone to sanitize the area. Much like CBGs do all the time, you only need detect if there are foreign naval ships in the area of trials. If there are, choose a different area. Point is that sea trials are not being delayed because of snooping fears, just that dates give...

Shalav

If we're really worried about foreign Navies snooping on the Arihant during sea trials, why don't we send a couple of P-17s along to sanitize an area of testing? Once the Arihant is inducted, would we not send it on blue water patrols because other navies will 'snoop' it? Sanitize? How? Launch Harp...
