KnightontheSun, in Colorado man who shot Waffle House cook over COVID-19 mask mandate sentenced to 13 years in prison

I think he should have to wear an N95 mask the entire sentence.

It may be unusual, but would it be too cruel to super glue it to his face every morning?

Chakravanti,

No. And it also wouldn’t cruel to rip it the fuck off every morning for the application of the next. It also wouldn’t be to film the whole thing and broadcast it just to give everyone that shares his thoughts to understand the reality that should be fucking standard.

SkyeStarfall,

It’s not any worse than what healthcare workers do

Hello, Captain Crunch?

raynethackery, in Hospitals suing patients over unpaid bills would have to put their names on lawsuits under new Colorado measure

How in hell can they seek warrants to have people arrested for medical debt?

@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Not that I think hospitals would care about being named plaintiffs, credit card companies certainly don’t. But it sounds like they can still sell the debt to a collections agency and dodge this.

Though the plaintiff and the creditor should be one in the same.

Mediocre_Bard, in Colorado plastic surgeon sentenced to 15 days in jail in teen patient’s death

Breast augmentation patient coded mid-procedure. Doctor attempted resuscitation for 5 hours before calling 911. Doctor then did not immediately allow EMS to access the patient upon arrival.

He didn’t exactly kill her, so much as failed to respond appropriately when she died.

givesomefucks,

He also prevented anyone else from calling 911…

15 days is a joke.

It’s not just that he didn’t act, he prevented others from acting.

The article says he successfully resuscitated her. But then he just, like, kept her for five hours instead of calling 911 (I’m assuming she was unconscious the whole time), and this is the issue, because she fell into a coma and died 14 months later. So the question is, did preventing her from receiving emergency care contribute to her coma and death? And it seems like the answer is yes.

Maajmaaj, in Heavily-armed man kills himself, rather than shoot up Colorado amusement park, authorities say

“I am not a killer, I just want to get into the caves.” That is some creepy, ominous shit right there. The whole story would be a fantastic intro to a horror movie tbh. Glad he didn’t kill anybody, RIP to that man.

ALilOff, in Police find at least 115 bodies at Colorado ‘green’ funeral home under investigation

I can’t be the only one that went “Of course they’d find dead bodies at a funeral home”

The issue is improper handling of the dead bodies, which under Colorado Law a dead body can’t be lying around for 24 hours without refrigeration. It’s a hygiene problem. There were smells seeping from the building due to it and they had the bodies just out there.

Eheran,

Gotta make the headline special… just annoying.

possiblylinux127,

The news said it gave one of the officers a rash.

I can imagine living next to this. Apparently the smell was really bad

Fucking cops

ReallyKinda, in 17-year-old Boulder cyclist hit by vehicle, killed while training for mountain bike world championships

Also fuck city planners and residents who refuse to create routes for cyclists and pedestrians that are meaningfully separated from car routes.

Nunar,

I agree, but there are bike routes along there.

corm,

Where? He died right here: maps.app.goo.gl/oUXtHqR3kTFUGDFN9?g_st=ic

ReallyKinda,

Meaningfully separated! Physically protected from 60mph hunks of flying metal.

Nunar,

Yeah. There are. I’m not sure why people think there aren’t.

corm,

There were not any where he was riding. Which is the point of the comment you’re replying to.

Treczoks,

We do have separate bike lanes on the bypass here, too, but some kinds of bikers simply don't use them. Those wannabe-tour-de-france-bikers always drive on the road on weekends. All normal bike drivers use the bike lane, because it is actually better off than the road. They were built at the same time, but on that roads there is a lot of heavy truck traffic between the quarry and the motorway. Looks like most of them don't do this for real training, but to hang out their spandex-clad butts to anyone who would like to pass.

corm,

On the “Diagonal Highway” near 63rd where he was hit?

Edit: yeah there wasn’t shit maps.app.goo.gl/oUXtHqR3kTFUGDFN9?g_st=ic

Just some awful thin bike lane which he was probably in (text said Toyota drifted into shoulder)

Treczoks,

I never said "here" was "there". I was just bringing up the point that a lot of bikers won't even use an existing and good (better than the road!) bike lane.

Oderus, in Family died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says

Darwin Award unfortunately. Fire in a tent? WTF.

8BitRoadTrip, in Family died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says

I have all the sympathy in the world for them but trying to live through a Colorado winter in a tent is not a good idea.

Therealgoodjanet, in Family died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says

This is so sad but it sounds like they were not prepared for a life off the grid. It’s not as easy as people think. Especially in the winter. It’s sad that fear ended up costing them their lives. I hope they didn’t suffer.

It doesn't even sound like they tried to be prepared. "I'm going to live off the land," she replied, and then they're burning sticks inside a tent stocked with canned goods and ramen?

Fuck's sake. Not that I'm trying to speak ill. They must have known they fucked up in a way that was final this time and beyond help and if so, it would have been a kind of deep, visceral horror few people get to experience these days.

But she genuinely believed she was going to move out there, grow whatever, and forage, and just be fine, and she apparently did not find out whether or even how she could do that. Idealistic doesn't have to mean blind.

Take this from personal experience. Living in a frigid, leaky tent full of weenie cans is not living off the land, it is being homeless.

It’s sad they took a 14 year old with them.

BonesOfTheMoon, in Family died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says

There’s a reason people stopped living like pioneers as soon as they had the chance, because it sucks.
