You're only allowed two attempted murders before the police actually do anything.
... but he's probably already out on his own recognizance.

Oh no, does that mean they get free state money to encourage the building of more housing?

That makes more sense. I think my brain deleted the second occurrence of "feet"
I would write it like "six (6) foot" to avoid confusion.

6'6" with pink hair. Should be easy to spot in a crowd. It would have been nice if they used a photo that has his recent hair.

Less bar fist fights and more fatal gunshot wounds could very easily explain those statistics.
While overall incidences of general low level violence have decreased, dead bodies have increased. I wouldn't call that a win for law enforcement.

Reply to Career Counselor Recommendations? by _concertfiend_
The US government made a pretty good career aptitude test. Not a lot of people know about it. Your partner can access it here:
https://dol-vets.careerscope.net/assessment
It's free. I'd give a solid hour to answer all the questions accurately. It tests some abilities too. Like mechanical thinking, attention to detail, stuff like that.
At the end it poops out two lists. Things you would be good at and things you would like. Sometimes there's a lot of overlap there.
Community college, trade schools, and apprenticeships are always a good way to start a career without huge monetary and time commitments.

Are you traveling alone?
You like bar/restaurant recommendations?
I like Versus downtown. It's a video game bar that is good for meeting new people. They have controllers at the bar. You can just pick one up and strike up a conversation with the people next to you or the bartender. Only a $5 cover, and that means you can play all the games for free all night. Pretty good deal.
I'm kind of an introvert. So it definitely helps to have an excuse to talk to others.

I saw local news run a piece about this 8 days after he was missing. I understand he's an adult, so this isn't an Amber Alert situation. But it seems too long to wait, given how cold it's been.

I would remove the witch museum from the list. It's really not good. Salem has some cute shops. And an ok museum: Peabody Essex. I wouldn't recommend Salem for international visitors though.
I highly recommend the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. She was an eccentric collector. And her house was made into one of the best private museums I've ever seen. She had a lot of gay friends, actors, notable occultists. So her collection reflects that. I would have loved to have met her.
The Egyptian stuff is amazing. And a beautiful central garden. And it's the site of the most famous art heist in history. So you'll notice some blank spots on the walls. Those were all stolen. A mystery that remains unsolved.

It's kind of like that inasmuch as it's civil and not criminal. And it's been awhile since I've read up on that case. But I think he was found civilly liable for a wrongful death.
These civil asset forfeiture cases require no such finding of individual guilt or innocence (responsible or not responsible). This is trial against the evidence itself.
It might be like State of New York v. Yacht.

It's a little wonky. The men can be treated as innocent and the evidence be treated as associated with a criminal activity still. Civil asset forfeiture has a separate standard of proof and even a separate trial.
So weirdly, the money can be found guilty. Or more accurately "more probable than not that it was associated with criminal activity." Which I'm told can be represented by a greater than 50% chance. Whereas guilt in the criminal context is closer to 99% (some lawyers put a closer to 85%, it just depends on your definition of reasonable doubt).

The only fair way to do it is retrials without the tainted evidence. And it looks like the state decided not to retry a lot of the cases. Okay ... Well, those people should be considered "Not Guilty" now.

What's even more insane is that these people were convicted on faked scientific evidence. And the state still doesn't want to give their money back.
The tricky thing is, I get it, some of them may have been guilty. But corners were cut on the evidence.
