Well what would you call it, just a "cide" ?

"When life hands you a homicide, make cider out of it"? sort of like "When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade out of it?"  ;)

That's because you're not a lawyer.   :showoff:

The term "homicide" implies exactly what happened here.  The actions of the cop led to this man's death.  The question is then one of culpability.

Actually it is because he's being ornery. Clearly the actions of the cops lead to the guy dying.

Involuntary manslaughter. Or just give the cop a fucking medal. I don't care.

The evil twins are going in the fall. I assume they will form a gang in class.

We realized we need to look into pre-school for Timmy for the fall.  Time does indeed fly.

Tommy will be a gang of one.  Or something.  Anyway, we made the mistake of telling him we're registering him, so he keeps thinking he'll be going soon.  Just as well, I guess-- he doesn't really comprehend the difference between 6 weeks and 6 months.
