Whether an opinion is right, or wrong, is always just another opinion.

Feel free to ignore this post. I am just expressing my opinion.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

When there are legal definitions provided by authorities such as The Law Society any arguments need to be directed to them and not to those who refer to, or quote, them.

It’s amazing that people not only still want to argue in such circumstances but also have the brass neck to complain that others “are never wrong”.

I feel sure it happens all the time. You just don’t see it because although the videos exist it doesn’t suit the narrative.

Just as you have seen videos of people running with weapons I haven’t seen.

Have those weapons been used, or did they deter worse violence than we have already witnessed? Are they a cause or an effect?

Legal judgements are a standard part of common law in every jurisdiction in the western world. At least so far as I am aware. Certainly in the UK.

In all cases they are the final act of a judge as he writes up his definitive conclusions so that the Court officials can act upon them. In civil cases the word also applies to the description of any award made. Maybe this helps:-

“What does Judgment mean?
The final decision of the court in a claim.

The written summary of the court's decision.”

If that’s an error then I will be delighted because I was on the wrong side of one earlier this year.

It's funny how you've never seen anything that would contradict your narcissistic narrative. It was on the BBC 10 o'clock news for goodness sake and it's all over the internet. Your last paragraph is beneath contempt. Possession of an offensive weapon is a crime that carries a lengthy prison sentence regardless of whatever the perpetrator's own justification may or may not be.

To bring Trump into this thread, as was done by one of the major purveyors of conspiracy theories here a few posts ago, is very inappropriate. Nevertheless the slurs cannot be ignored. Misrepresentation of this type is what is leading to the unrest we are now witnessing.

When I referred to the doubts that were being expressed by some on whether Trump had actually been hit they were based on what was known at the time. I said then that he had probably been grazed but that his pet doctor (not those at the hospital) had made political capital out of it by using a huge and unnecessary bandage, when just a clip and gauze were needed.

That has actually now been confirmed and my opinion remains exactly the same. This doctor rushed from his home to take over and present a narrative. That in no way diminishes the crime, or how lucky he was. It just confirms that those around him cannot be trusted anymore than he can.
