Black Keys, Preservation Hall and Dr. John blast us into the weekend
The boys from Akron, the Black Keys, had a great night at the Grammys last week, winning awards for best rock song and best rock performance for their single “Lonely Boy” and best rock album for ‘El Camino”.
They also provided what was clearly the best performance of the night, although it surely didn’t hurt that they were teamed up with the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band, with the great Dr. John on keyboards. Their performance of “Lonely Boy” tore the place up, waking up a show badly in need of a shot of adrenalin.
It’s a good way to send us into the weekend ….

“Not sure about absolving from liability”
A lot of insurance policies have those kinds of riders. Take a link through insurance like that written to protect, say, a piano player from damage to their hands. If they do something that is highly hazardous to their hands, and they get damaged…the insurance might not have to pay out, because if there was a rider stating they should not engage in something that could damage their hands, it would negate the insurance company’s responsibility to pay.

The 10-year-old is related to 27-year-old Eric L. Booth, who was sentenced to 25 years last year for the 2011 murder of Gordon Feist. Booth shot Feist after he and another man had tried to rob the 63-year-old.
Rasmussen said the 10-year-old stole the gun that was found in his backpack, but refused to give any more details about where he obtained it.

“The victims here are likely to be others. :
Yes, quite right. But I’m already on record here as believing that no matter what laws they pass they aren’t going to stop all gun violence. But insurance would protect good, honest gun owners by protecting them from being considered complicit in the violence if their stolen gun is used.
Just like this case, if the gun owner had insurance and following the rules FOR that insurance, he would not be held responsible if the gun HAD been used in a violent crime. But if he was careless, then he COULD be held legally responsible for what amounts to “enticement to commit a crime”

I am not disagreeing with the general concepts, just the concept of a defense if the insurance requirements are not met. That would lower the risk and lower the rate. The coverage should include the compensation of victims and thus reflect the real “market”. But as with most answers, the insurance in only part of the solution.
Kam, whoever failed to protect their gun so that a 10 yr old could “steal” it should be ashamed, at the least

“The coverage should include the compensation of victims and thus reflect the real “market”. ”
I think that would be nearly, if not actually, impossible. Because if a gun owner knew the victim would be compensated, it would greatly diminish the incentive to keep the gun safely stored.
“Kam, whoever failed to protect their gun so that a 10 yr old could “steal” it should be ashamed, at the least”
I’m a bit less charitable. I think they should be criminally liable.

Where does a 10 year get the idea to act this extreme?
Keep Up the Good Fight!
February 16th, 2013

doggone, I disagree. Even with compensation, assuming the gun owner is alive and not responsible in the criminal act of the gun violence (although perhaps criminally liable for other violations as you suggest), the premiums would jump. but even the initial premiums would be higher to reflect the risk (and/or the requirements for discounts tougher). I don’t think drivers are more careless because there is insurance coverage and more than those committing a crime of passion think about the penalties.

“Where does a 10 year get the idea to act this extreme?”
There’s almost certainly a lot of factors, but I don’t totally reject the NRA’s blaming it on things like violent TV and games. I don’t think that’s the ONLY answer, but as I told my sister the other day…I was channel surfing and it was dead body…dead body…dead body…dead body. I find myself watching less and less TV because I’m just not interested in shows about dead bodies week after week after week.

Does car insurance pay if the owner uses the car, or the car is stolen and used to, commit murder? I’m not sure it does.

Going back thru the insurance related posts, it amazes me the general misunderstanding most of those opining have of the concept of insurance relative to development of premium, insuring illegal acts, and otherwise providing coverage that goes beyond accidental shooting.
Despite the desires of lawmakers in various locales to pop off about underwriters offering coverage for intentionl acts otherwise against public policy, the industry would only agree if they could lay off that criminal risk to government. Not to mention the idea that the one’s who theoretically need criminal coverage the most, won’t be able to get affordable coverage.
Liability for keeping guns locked up is one thing…and even that situation presents problems unless soem biometric device was required for coverage. From my understanding, this risk management device combined with the cost of insurance coverage would result in an expense beyond the interest of exisiting owner…310 million guns, to expect retroactive adherence..

One of the myriad ways in which the TSA wastes the $8-plus billion it steals from taxpayers each year is by enrolling its thugs in “college-level programs that focus on Homeland Security strategies to counter terrorism.
Yes, it boggles my mind, too.
Imagine the courses: “Advanced Groping,” “Laptops: Too Dangerous For Passengers to Retain, So Take Work Home With You”, dangerous UnArthorized Falcon merchendise, “The Cupcake as WMD.”
Hard to believe grown adults waste their time and our wealth on such nonsense…………….not.
At any rate, your money pays to indoctrinate the uneducable at diploma-mills nationwide. Burbles one such moron, who’s “based at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport,” “We’re being taught how terrorists are adapting and getting more sneaky.” Yeah, now they’re eating their cupcakes before they arrive at the airport rather than “voluntarily surrendering” them to the gluttonous thieves at the checkpoint.
A classmate of Mr. Moron prattles that “the program has made her more ‘focused on the mission’” – a horrific thought: does she strip-search all women of a certain age now, not just those in wheelchairs? – and smugly adds, “Terrorism unfortunately is very real … You can’t let your guard down because there are people around the world who really hate Americans.”
BINGO…………….
Thank God they’re easy to identify: they’re all in office, wearing silly costumes and bradenishing Tin badges, , or wearing blue gloves.

At any rate…………………Fed.gov must keep its War on Youth perpuatrating—-
.
Uncle Sam systematically mistreats its young, a partial list:
1. Burdening them with a monstrous debt
2. Raising them in an environment of perpetual war
3. Inflicting the public school system on them
4. Over-prescribing them with drugs
5. Suppressing masculinity
6. Shifting the fruits of their labor to retirees
7. Raising increasing numbers in single-parent families
8. Forcing mothers out of homes and into the workforce
9. Discouraging work and encouraging profiting from drugs
10. Discouraging saving and a long-term horizon
