This lawyer took a bullet for his client, literally!
"Clement Laird Vallandigham (/vəˈlændɪɡəm/ və-LAN-dig-əm; July 29, 1820 - June 17, 1871) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the leader of the Copperhead faction of anti-war Democrats during the American Civil War.
He served two terms for Ohio's 3rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. In 1863, he was convicted by an Army court martial for publicly expressing opposition to the war and exiled to the Confederate States of America. He ran for governor of Ohio in 1863 from exile in Canada, but was defeated.
Vallandigham died in 1871 in Lebanon, Ohio, after accidentally shooting himself in the abdomen with a pistol, while representing a defendant in a murder case for killing a man in a barroom brawl in Hamilton."

@lilarrin1220 15 дней назад

Not just gun safety but a lot of safety rules in general when working with dangerous equipment. I work with high voltage equipment and lasers, and whenever I have to open up the high voltage stuff for diagnostic/repairs, I need to treat it as if it is fully powered up and minimize direct contact in case all the other safety controls have failed. For lasers, I behave as though I have no safety equipment or barriers and minimize putting any part of my body near the beamline. Safety measures are never perfect, and their failure can have very heavy consequences, so you operate as though they can fail anytime.

@PerkulatorBenny 15 дней назад

@@etaleo2748 Not American, but I have been to the range a few times. Our rule was that the only time you can treat a gun as if it's not loaded, whether confirmed empty or not, is if it is in a position where it is physically impossible for it to fire, e.g. a break-action gun that is currently open or a revolver with the drum out. (And even then you always try to handle it with care/not go in front of it. Just in case.)

Either way, he made the decision to act extremely irresponsibly for a super minor convenience.

@luger_Mann 16 дней назад

I have a good bit of experience with both original civil war era firearms and newly made reproductions of them and I can confirm it takes a almost painful degree of absent minded stupidity to miss-identify a loaded/non loaded firearm from that era, especially since what makes them go bang is external and in pretty much plain view at all times just about.

@themightydropbear 15 дней назад

He may have had primers on both revolvers. The practice of law can be as much about theater as it is about legal procedure so it's likely that he put primers on his "unloaded" weapon so that it would go "bang" for his demonstration and underscore his point to the jury. Total failure safety-wise regardless. This event is a pretty good analogue to the chain of events that led to Baldwin shooting that staffer on "Rust".

Here’s how you spot a good lawyer: it costs 5k just to get in the room with them, and 30k every 2mos of work. If you pick up the phone to call them, they bill you. Why? Because only good lawyers are that busy and name their own price. Did they only ask for 10-20k? You got a bad lawyer, and should stick with a public defender

That greatly depends on your reasons for needing a lawyer.

To be fair to Vallandigham, Lincoln absolutely was a despot at the time, he benefitted from a huge cult of personality as time went on after the assassination. Lincoln banned negative press about himself, mandated prayer services have prayers for him and jailed serval ministers who didn’t comply (despite Lincoln himself being an ardent agnostic), started the policy of outsourcing Law Enforcement to private firms which got so bad we wound up with the Anti-Pinkerton act, and fully intended to sent America’s freed slave population to Liberia in a repatriation effort that would probably constitute a genocide by today’s standards. It’s a complicated issue. (Fuck slavery though.)

@professorhaystacks6606 5 дней назад

On the Liberia thing, while Lincoln did favor the repatriation plan initially, after the Haiti resettlement experiment of 1882-84 backfired horrendously he seems to have abandoned the idea. Perhaps more for practical reasons than moral ones but the point remains: after that he didn't seem to pursue the idea any further. Most of the rest I've heard of, but I have never heard of the jailing of ministers. Got a link on that?

His views weren’t as unfounded as they are now. Lincoln is seen today as being a very good president, but back then, he most certainly did some VERY controversial things, including violating the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments of the Constitution. However, the fact that he is seen as favorably nowadays despite his blatant disregard for civil liberties is less about how people just didn’t like him during his tenure, and more of how alarming it is that many people do not care about upholding certain basic rights and liberties.

@Ploxtifs_OldAndDeadAccountXD 15 дней назад

The abolition of slavery was very much needed, but Lincoln suspending the Bill of Rights to achieve this was not the right way to go about it, as it set a very dangerous precedent for political leaders going forward…

There was also a widespread rumor that "hooker", a term for prostitute, came from the name of Union General Joseph Hooker, but that one may not hold water.
