Compare the charges against him, and the charges against the officer.
Waddy doesn't appear to have ever been charged for the shootings. I think you just made that shit up
A bit flip separately might not be a big deal. A bit flip coupled with unexpected hardware or software limitations can break things that seem impossible for break.
So you're not proposing to equal bit flips on 2 computers, you're describing a bit flip's end result mirroring that of a defective piece of hardware that would have been a compared against value- I can buy that.
If the person who didn't pull the trigger was holding up a liquor store and the police shot the wrong person, there's at least arguably mens rea, which is how we get things like the felony murder rule.
Depends. Was the Holocaust the result of that specific party doing specific war related activities? No. you're equating two very different things.
Pretty hard to argue that it wasn't.
The persecution of Jews in Germany certainly predated the war, but the extermination of them very much did not.
There was no propaganda angle, no strategic angle, nothing at all related to the war itself.
The dipshits literally blamed the Jews for the German loss of WW1. You bet WW2 played a role in the rapid acceleration of the persecution into mass murder.
On the flip side bombing things, especially infrastructure has everything to do with war.
Has to do with- sure. Particularly if done in good faith.
Both Ukraine and Russia are blowing shit up and/or killing innocent people and blaming it on the other side currently. Those are not legal and legitimate acts of war.
Honestly your false equivalence here is more disgusting than it is ignorant.
And your enablement of criminal activity as long as it's someone you support doing it is worse than disgusting. You're one of the fucking filth that voted Nazis into power because you hated some group of people, and then hid your face when they turned murderous.
You try to pretend like you're the opposite of them, but you're not. You're just too fucking stupid to see how you aren't.
Depends on what the person was doing at the time. If the person who didn't pull the trigger was holding up a liquor store and the police shot the wrong person, there's at least arguably mens rea, which is how we get things like the felony murder rule.
Not quite- that's how you get the proximate cause felony murder rule, of which only a couple of jurisdictions in the US, and none outside of the US in the Western world recognize due to its obvious injustice.
Extending that to involuntary manslaughter when the person didn't actually pull the trigger but directly created a situation where the police did seems like not that much of a stretch to me.
It isn't in proximate cause jurisdictions... but even then, not all of those.
To give you an example, in even the laxest proximate cause jurisdictions, if the police officer fires his weapon inappropriately, then the proximate cause is broken. You are not responsible for someone else breaking the law (say, pulling out an AR-15 and spraying into a crowd to stop you).
But even that's moot, since again- very few jurisdictions still recognize proximate cause felony murder.
To program is to be.
