Manslaughter: Haverfordwest convictions, Abraham Raji & Debian DebConf drowning

This week the news in most European countries was dominated by defence topics. Nonetheless, one story that caught my eye was the successful conclusion of the prosecution of an outdoor activity company. Four people died by drowning in the weir at Haverfordwest. The victims were on a paddleboard excursion. The weir is in the center of the village (OpenStreetmap) so these people died in a very prominent location and in a very public way. Residents walk past the location every day.

When I saw the story, I was immediately reminded about the avoidable death of Abraham Raji at DebConf23.

Gross negligence manslaughter (GNM) is an incredibly serious crime that is only one notch down from murder. GNM deaths are not planned. Nonetheless, people sometimes die due to recklessness, arrogance, greed or incompetence.

Debian DebConf organizers have banned people who ask serious questions. They want to pretend Debian is a game. Anybody who asks serious questions is accused of being a party-pooper and breaking the " Code of Conduct". As a consequence, if serious people are not banned already then they stay away from the DebConf committees and we have the blind leading the blind.

Jonathan Carter wanted the police to investigate people who ask questions. Maybe they could start with the dead bodies.

On one side of the weir is the PCC County Hall. On the other side is the Haverhub Community Centre. When Debianists are not pretending to be a family, they pretend to be a community. In other words, cult-speak.

Debian spent over $120,000 to attack my family after my father died. Volunteers at DebConf23 were told they had to contribute their own money to have a lifejacket on the kayak trip. How can they say this is a family?

Debianists created this picture 2 or 3 days after the drowning:

The picture was annotated and shared on a blog post by Aigars Mahinovs. I felt it was insulting to the relatives of the deceased.
