culpable negligence

Read a random definition: comitatu et castro commisso

A quick definition of culpable negligence:

Culpable negligence is when someone fails to take reasonable care in a situation where they should have known that their actions could cause harm to others. It is a type of negligence that involves carelessness and disregard for the safety of others, but not necessarily intentional harm. It can also be called gross negligence or reckless negligence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Culpable negligence is a type of negligence that involves a disregard for the consequences of one's actions, even if they were not intentional. It refers to conduct that falls below the legal standard of care established to protect others against unreasonable risk of harm. It is also known as actionable negligence, ordinary negligence, or simple negligence.

Examples: An example of culpable negligence is a doctor who fails to diagnose a patient's serious illness, even though the symptoms were clear. Another example is a driver who speeds through a red light and causes an accident. In both cases, the individuals acted with a disregard for the safety of others and failed to exercise the standard of care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in a similar situation.

Explanation: Culpable negligence is a legal term that refers to conduct that is more than just careless or inadvertent. It involves a conscious disregard for the safety of others and a failure to exercise reasonable care. The examples illustrate how culpable negligence can lead to serious harm or injury to others. In both cases, the individuals had a duty to exercise reasonable care, but they failed to do so, resulting in harm to others.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
