Dangerousness hearings

Goddard, who successfully launches the world's first liquid-fueled rocket at Auburn, Massachusetts, on March 16, 1926. The rocket traveled for 2.5 seconds at a speed of about 60 mph, reaching an altitude of 41 feet and landing 184 feet away.

IIRC isn't that Worcester?

Yup. They have a sign on I-290 North, "Birthplace of Robert Goddard".

Wait, so is model rocketry no-go now? That was definitely a thing when I was a kid. I even have the merit badge somewhere to prove it.

If the laws we have in place now were around 100 years ago, we would not have this:

Aunt Effie would be contributing to global warming by growing a vegetable that causes flatulence.

For anyone interested who are on the MA criminal defense bar: there is a 2 day CLE on dangerousness hearings at the end of March. PM me and I'll send a link.

Meh.

Where did that "Innovation" ever lead?

I don’t understand the “dangerousness hearing”

Everyone has the potential to be dangerous

The guy was indicted last week.

It’s still a thing. I worked with a guy who was into it. Not like a scout badge thing but high power rockets where you need to notify the FAA when you launch.

Some are more dangerouser that most.

Do police undergo a "dangerousness hearing" when they do something wrong?

I saw a video of launching out west and they explained the reasons for notifying the FAA, these rockets were multi stage model rockets.

I quit being a Boy Scout leader in 2007 and it was definitely still going strong then. Used buy the rockets online and buy all the engines at WalMart in Hudson NH.

We'd build the rockets ahead of time and then go camping at Kezer lake in ME in February and launch them on the ice in the middle of the lake. I would also bring a couple of 22 rifles and we'd take the boys shooting. More than once a father would come along who wasn't so sure about shooting the 22 and by the end of the weekend he would have shot it himself and been excited about it.

“He also did not think that state gun laws applied to him."

This was his true offence. Thank heavens those laws are never subject to re-interpretation. Oh . . . wait.

CD Tavares was a one man think tank when he lived in the DPRM. One neat AZ story was when he went to a library in Phoenix and presented his carry gun - something like "I see your no guns sign and under AZ law you are required to let me check and have you store my gun while I visit, so here it is....".

Obviously not a minority gang banger from the hood. The BLM activist in KY who shot at the Jewish Politician was bailed out with 100K by BLM last week.

BLM Louisville defends bailing out activist in assassination attempt of mayoral candidate

A Black Lives Matter chapter took responsibility Thursday for the decision to post bond for an activist accused in the attempted assassination of a candidate for mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, saying that the alleged shooter “needed support.”
