tty much, not a hundred percent but pretty much, determines what they're going to decide before they even get a case. Right, so I can't believe that you would even get Democrats who are actual scholars, right, real scholars — I'm not sure you can get a Democrat scholar to buy into this. Now I was thinking the other day and I'm going to modify a suggestion I had a long time ago. I was thinking on…

Now I'm going to talk about drugs being part of the cause. You know they're part of the story for sure in my opinion. But here's what you need to know about homicide. It's not a crime. Did you know that? Many in the comments tell me how many of you knew that homicide is not a crime. But homicide has been demonstrated to be true. It's just not a crime. And he hasn't been charged with homicide. Do you know why he hasn't been charged with homicide? Because it's not a crime. Right? Yeah, watch the comments. Some people are saying what? Yeah that's the way you should be saying. I'm trying to trigger you into saying what are you talking about? How could homicide not be a crime? It's not. Look it up.
Homicide simply means that a human killed somebody. And killed is somewhat strictly defined you know or let's say by precedent to mean that a human did the last thing that was like push them over the edge. So it could be that the human shot them or it could be that the human did some other kind of action that was the final variable. Now this is really important. If a human was the final variable in the death that's homicide. And I think that both the — I think all of the medical people have said that if you took away the police action it's unlikely he would have died. Because what are the odds that he somehow had an overdose without taking drugs recently? Like you don't really — my understanding is overdoses happen pretty quickly after you take the wrong amount of drugs. So it would be weird if he had taken the drugs hours before and then just by coincidence he happened to have an overdose death right when the police were sitting on him. I mean what are the odds?
So yes the police action resulted in his death. That's homicide. All right so are we all on the same page the homicide at least I think from the jury's perspective has been completely proven? Because there is no medical person who says anything different. There's no medical person who is saying the cause was an overdose or the cause was his health. Nobody's saying that. So it is homicide. Right? Again I'm speaking as a non-lawyer just like a person. Just a person. It's homicide. But that is not illegal per se. Because there are different reasons that you could be not guilty of any crime. One would be self-defense. If you kill somebody in self-defense it's homicide. It just doesn't happen to be illegal.
And I think that Chauvin has one other opportunity to do homicide without being illegal and it goes like this. A reasonable person would not know that what he was doing was a mortal dange

r. So if Chauvin and his lawyers can demonstrate that a reasonable person wouldn't have known this could kill somebody no crime is committed. There has to be something in the officer's head that gets to either intention. And by the way he's not even being charged with intentionally killing him. Did you know that? The charge does not include any thought that he did it intentionally. It's just not e…
