While there have been inevitable comparisons with Jeff Buckley, Jack Johnson, Elliot Smith, Nick Harper et al, his musical journey has absorbed diverse sounds: indie, rock, folk, blues, reggae, Welsh choral music, dub, samba and processional drumming. From this furnace of influences he has brought forth an acoustic-guitar based album that is both unique and original.

Born in Bristol, he has lived in Glasgow and Brighton; on a beach in South America, in a remote and soggy corner of Wales and can currently be found trying out London for size, when not in Edinburgh.

Several years spent writing and performing in Scotland resulted in his new album Heart Music Soul Music. This was recorded with the help of noted Edinburgh roots-fusion band 'The Ruffness', produced by Robin Wynne-Evans at Tpot studio and mastered by John Davies at Alchemy.

THAN’s first ever gig was at The Fleece in Bristol while still at school, a promising start that kicked off a decade of performances – festivals, parties, beaches, islands, England, Scotland, America. The venues list reads like a who’s who directory of gigs: The Jazz Bar and Bongo Club, Edinburgh; The Louisiana, Fleece and Thekla, Bristol; The Dublin Castle, Monarch and 12 Bar Club, London; and The Jericho Tavern, Oxford,Glastonbury festival...and so extensively on.

Diverse, unorthodox, even maverick, other activities include a musical-motorcycle odyssey down America to Mexico and Guatemala, writing and performing with Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and making a video where a neglected girlfriend seduces a piano before throwing it off a cliff to its doom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDjAr9WOcNk

@@MickLoud999 NO, no, no, mick! I understand all or most of those places where our abysmal prison/slave worker system, as well as the administration of Justice policy&procedure, are imperfect or even corrupted and inhumane. I'm acutely aware of the rates of imprisonment comparisons for the US and the multi-tiered system that is harsher and more draconian to more select demographics of people. I also am aware of the labor exploitation of prisoners and the savage, unfit, unhealthy, abusive, and sometimes torturous material conditions, including the actions of facility staff, that our near-medieval modus operandi for public safety is visiting upon citizens. Some of whom are incarcerated unfairly, as innocents, or for harmless acts, or due to applications of antiquated Jim crow laws etc.

More to the point, I know (from personal experience) that prosecutors in this country commonly engage in illegal, unethical, improper, evil, and bigoted practices in the application of their public duties. Including collusion with 3rd party strong arms, witness tampering, withholding evidence, evidence tampering, paid witnesses, forced confessions, etc.
And yes, of course I agree, it IS and SHOULD ALWAYS be a central tenet of our country as a whole that a person is to be considered innocent until it is proven they are guilty. And I think, on all of these items so far, we agree on those things being real serious problems that need solving.

Where we seem to differ is with the degree to which the prosecution may use absolute expressions in the language of their opening and closing statements.

The whole reason for having Prosecuting attorneys and Council for defense is so that both sides can be argued by professionals to the highest degree without any conflict of interest. Using the phrase "this person is guilty" is practically obligatory in light of the responsibilities of the prosecutor. And this is not in conflict with the core value of "innocent until proven guilty" for two reasons. 1. The opportunity must must be available, at least in one point in time, for the people and victims to present evidence and make their case. Thats the "until proven" part of the phrase. 2. The defense is present so that the accused may face their accusers, may object to any impropriety, and refute the prosecutions case and present the defense. So it's not as if there isn't a favorable narrative placed alongside the unfavorable narrative. That is to say, the defense stands up right before or after the prosecutor and says unequivocally that "this man is innocent!!!" Because that's how trials work.

If the prosecutor, while making their case, instead said something wishy washy like "perhaps this man is guilty, maybe. Who knows? He's innocent right now. But I have some evidence that could possibly point toward his being guilty, if the jury finds it convincing."
Then that statement would be a blatant violation of prosecutorial ethics and their responsibility/requirement/BAR licensing to make the case for their clients to the best of their ability, in good faith, and to the fullest extent of the law. Likewise for the defense counsel should they say "maybe my client is guilty. But I think he's most likely innocent! Could be." Making that sort of Defense would be grounds for a mistrial itself and possibly could get the counselor disbarred.

If it were the judge making these kinds of biased absolute statements during trial I could see where your frustration was coming from. But the prosecution or defense making those sorts of absolute statements? Well, that's their damn job.

I think the Crux of our miscommunications, other than those absolute expressions during opening and closing arguments, is where your perception of proper trial procedure flips from Theory and the ethics of law as it is written to the practice of the law, and back. Notwithstanding, of course, misconduct which is plainly wrong and bad and illegal in both senses.

Have I addressed the disagreement? What is on target and what did I miss?

Totally agree!

Talk is easy, when many do not see these widow makers terrorists slicing and beheading your men. If he no longer qualifies psychologically to handle the job, then retire him, but do not touch or remove his honor.
Not all soldiers can handle so many atrocities and still act normal following all the rules made by men that never experienced a war combat.

"Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die" ― Herbert Hoover
"War is young men dying and old men talking" ― Franklin D. Roosevelt
The truth is, our soldiers should be trained to protect our country, not the assets and interests of the few wealthy at foreign countries under the tittle of fighting terrorism. Using the military to invade a foreign country to protect Corporate's assets and resources is the worse terrorism. Any civilian would become a so called "terrorist or insurgent" if the US government would allow foreign military to come and invade the US in the name of "keeping the order".
Let's protect our home country, and leave the other messed country to be fixed by their own corrupted government and leaders.

So you're talking about doing something that's necessary, even though he was an Isis fighter, he was practically a boy, and he was clearly injured and surrounded by more than 12 Navy Seals. I appreciate everything those people do and I think that they have a horrendous job that 99% of us, myself included, could never do or bear. However, there are standards and stabbing an injured enemy who is surrounded by enemies and then posing for a picture with his dead body is not the standard. I believe the president was wrong to get involved because we all know that, especially as a Navy SEAL, you are more protected than anybody in this country. They don't want anything to get out that may tarnish the reputation and yet, they still found reason to prosecute this person. Why would they do that if it wasn't Justified? I believe that because Gallagher is an avid Trump supporter, he received rights and privileges that others wouldn't.

He was also charged for threatening to kill any Seals that testified. Read the case info. A witness Seal said he stabbed the guy while someone was preforming life saving procedures, and then changed his story to "I killed him" with guaranteed immunity. 6 seals said he killed for fun. He bragged about killing 4 women. Bragged about having an average of 3 kills per day for 80 days. Bragged about sniping an old unarmed man. Yeah yeah yeah, "it's their job", no, this guy killed more people than meals I eat in 80 days, that's not patriotism, he was a sociopath. And also a medic, so he saved lives and also took them. That's no different than the VA nurse in W.V. that killed 7 vets on purpose. Playing God. People can be very hardworking, skilled and educated, and still be serial killers. No sane person should WANT to kill some old man, and he walked because if he got discharged, hes going to write books and do tv interviews.

When you try to explain the supposed actions, it's hard to word it. "he stabbed an un-armed isis terrorist" vs "he stabbed an un-armed civilian" these are two different people and trying to word it is difficult when you KNOW the person who's the "victim" (which he wasn't) is a terrorist which makes it difficult to paint the picture that it was some unsuspecting innocent person who was murdered by Gallagher

The Navy SEALs are light infantry. You can tell because they do not have boats or planes or tanks of their own. As capable as they are, there is no reason why experienced riflemen could not be even more capable than Navy SEALs. They are perhaps the best that non-war time American training can produce. It is very likely that experienced combat units would make Navy SEALs look like little children.

Any normal inexperienced soldier will not be the same after experiencing shocking extreme wartime situations. Navy seals are humans who actually need more psychological counseling than the average soldier because they are often in the thick of the horror of war. If these guys are not monitored or corrected when needed things go out of control very fast. It is especially these elite warriors that must hold the ethical conduct and milliary laws high. You bet there are psychopaths within these special forces and if you give them the certainty to be able to get away with "conduct unbecomming" and be protected by their officers its waiting for disintergation of the teams. I think president trump doesnt understand how important it is for forces like green barrets and seals to know where the borders are..
