Sec. James Brady - Homicide

[Mr. H.]

Death of Reagan press secretary James Brady ruled a homicide: police

Hot off the press.

I get it, but dayum...

 

[Rikurzhen]

Public officials misusing their authority in order to be clever.

I get it, but dayum...

The ME says homicide, and there is precedent; those that knowingly transmit disease that takes years to kill have charged in the past.

 

[Blackrook]

The medical examiner is full of shit. Brady died of old age.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Whether it take 3 days or 30 years, it's still Homicide.

 

[Mr. H.]

Will they charge Hinkley and revoke his visits with mommy?

 

[Rikurzhen]

Whether it take 3 days or 30 years, it's still Homicide.

There has to be a cause and effect though. If Brady died of a brain hemorrhage in the exact area of the brain where the bullet carved a tunnel through his head, then you're right.

If the brain hemorrhage occurred elsewhere in the brain, then the cause and effect linkage becomes more difficult to quantify and argue.

If he died of a heart attack, then cause and effect is even more delinked. I mean, who has ever heard of a 73 year old man dying of old age or of a heart attack, am I right?

A surprising turn of events.
