If the Karmelo Anthony trial is your first self defense case a couple notes: -The defense has to raise elements of self defense, like the shove to say Anothny was under threat. This alone is not enough but it places a burden on the state to rebut so we heard a lot about it.

-I don't know what they will, or could respond with. -The defense will most likely call a use of force expert to try and frame the evidence more favorably to Anthony. -These have been witnesses who lost their friend and that is emotional, so usually cross is very mild.

I watched enough of Runkle to see that Reckless Ben has real legal trouble. Honestly I think actions of the cops are the bigger story here. Interfering with service of a lawsuit, illegal use of force, and possibly/probably false statements in reports. These are not small things.

I really get annoyed at only half-think. EG: "zipper merge" There's a very basic reason it doesn't work right: because all the cars have to go through the exact same choke point regardless of merger method. Thus zipper merge can only do *worse* by having less room to merge.

I've called the nascar HoF a joke, and I probably will again in the future. But I want to try and explain something for the curious. Legacies of greatness transcend this supposed HoF, guys who made motorsports great and passed it on the next generation will be remembered...

The real, cross generation talents who made things great will have their stories echoed across the fandom. Slap will make videos on them, a legal channel on youtube will mention Smokey Yunick from time to time (steve lehto) That's true greatness, and transcends any private club.
