Tamarius David confessed to police about the shooting, saying he was high on mushrooms and it made him feel “empowered.”
[NYPOST] A Georgia man "randomly" shot and killed a tourist dining outside with his family in Miami Beach then danced over the body, cops and a witness at the disturbing scene said.
Tamarius David, 22, of Norcross, Georgia, allegedly opened fire on Dustin Wakefield, 21, from close range as he was eating in the outdoor section of La Cerveceria de Barrio on Miami Beach’s famous Ocean Drive on Tuesday night, CBS Miami reported.
"After the shooting, he was dancing on top of the guy," a witness, who didn’t want to be identified, told the news station.
Wakefield, who was on vacation from Castlerock, Colorado, attempted to protect his 1-year-old son before he was shot multiple times, his family told the Miami Herald.
"This guy came in with a gun waving it, saying ’it’s time to die.’ He pointed the gun at his son and Dustin said, ’He’s only a boy,’" his uncle, Mike Wakefield told the newspaper.
"Dustin stood up between the gunman and the baby and he shot him. He shot him multiple times on the ground."
The gunfire also struck another customer, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Authorities have not released the identity of the second victim.
Police responded to 911 calls about the shooter and found David trying to open a locked door while holding a firearm, CBS Miami reported.
Footage showed David in an alleyway next to the scene, yelling "I did it. I did it," the Miami Herald reported.
Officers ordered him to drop the weapon and he complied then was taken into custody.
David — alias who is referred to as David Tamarius Blair Jr. in some reports — allegedly confessed to "randomly" shooting the two patrons, telling authorities that he "was high on mushrooms, which made him feel empowered," police said.
He faces charges of second-degree murder with a weapon and attempted murder.
David was being held without bond Wednesday at the Miami-Dade County Jail.

Hopefully, Old Sparky will also make Tamarius feel empowered, and soon.

The increasing number of black on white violence is all over the news but is never described as a hate crime, or with racial animus. It seems apparent that the current climate has created a sense of "permission" and justification for angry blacks to assault whites.
#9
Usually capital punishment is typically not available for a second degree murder conviction. First degree murder, typically involves pre-meditation.
In the case of "pre-medication", I don't know how this factors in.
#12
They get it in their head, get HAF, commit the act, then whoops sorry forgive me I must have been high.
That is, the act is decided - he woke up planning to kill somebody, partakes of some Dutch Courage, then uses that as a way to plea down charges. Well documented legal trick.
#13
I do not understand why the state only charged second degree...it was clearly premeditated...he took the time to arm himself, thought it through and intent was formed to kill someone by the initial action of arming himself. Further he verbalized it by telling the innocent victim what he was going to do and then shot him several times and took time to celebrate. WTF?
#15
How is celebrating over a dead body not evidence of intent?

I wonder who the prosecutor will be who is assigned to the case? Probably will end up in State court. Maybe the killer is undercharged to make sure he gets convicted. It's easier to obtain a 2nd degree conviction than a 1st degree conviction. You are never sure what a jury will do. Pragmatics.
[NYPOST] The madman who randomly doused a stranger with scalding liquid in Midtown last month was busted this week, authorities said.
Officers in the 13th Precinct spotted Shaydul Alam, 35, on Tuesday and realized he matched a description from a police flier, cops said.
Alam was shirtless when he allegedly approached the unsuspecting 57-year-old victim — who was walking home — on the southwest corner of West 47th Street and Sixth Avenue just after 10 p.m. July 5 and threw the unspecified substance at his back.
The victim briefly turned around before falling backwards onto the ground, surveillance footage shows.
Alam, who wore black shorts, said nothing during the sick assault and quickly fled.
Related: The NY Daily News reports the disturbed Mr. Alam, who has what sounds like a Bangladeshi name, has a record of this kind of thing.

Too light skinned to be Bangladeshi.
It could be that there are [West] Pakistanis in his ancestry — the womenfolk back home justified the massive rapes as makes the descendants more beautiful by giving them fairer skin...
But more probably you’re right that the name is from elsewhere in the Ummah, Gerthudion the Prolific5181.

I had a gun stolen from my car in the Buckhead area in a gated community back in 2017. We were unloading the car. We had closed the trunk and locked the car while we unpacked. It was around noon. I left the firearm in a range bag in the trunk with some ammo. I was going to retrieve the firearm after unpacking as I wanted to secure it in the house. There were going to be little kids around. I heard the car alarm go off but assumed it was somewhere else. Bad assumption. The house had surveillance cameras but later we found out there were areas not covered. The was corrected later.
I tried to report the firearm stolen with APD. That was not so easy. We were away for only the weekend and had to get back home because of other obligations. APD said I could report the crime the next time in town since they would not accept a phone report; reports had to be in person. When I returned a couple of months later, they sent a cop out to collect the information. He did not believe it happened as I described. He said there were no pry or damage marks on the car. I guess he didn't understand the technology of the modern car thief (I found out more about this later). The cop who was sent from APD had an attitude, he didn't like being there and treated me like I was the thief. There is a state law in Georgia that requires you to report a stolen firearm in a timely way. Ultimately, the report was taken. I provided APD with the serial number and original receipt for purchase.
Nearly, a year or so went by and I received a call from APD. They asked me if I heard from any other agencies. I said "No" and that was the last I heard of the case. I've often wondered where that sweet little H&K 40 cal. subcompact ended up. I sincerely hope that it was not used in a crime. I wrote this off as a mistake in my judgement and basically one of those clusterf*%ks a person sometimes finds themselves in.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Before that November news conference, the Facebook posts of Eric Coomer, the former director of product strategy and security at Dominion, had been unearthed as part of the right-wing voter fraud conspiracy.
Coomer reportedly was sweating and shaking as he heard Powell and Giuliani use his name, calling him a 'vicious, vicious man.'
Coomer's name had been circulated in conservative media for his staunchly anti-Trump Facebook posts and a pro-Antifa letter he posted to Facebook.
In posts from July 2016, Coomer characterized Donald Trump as 'autocratic,' 'narcissistic' and a 'fascist,' among other, more vulgar insults. 'I don't give a damn if you're friend, family or random acquaintance,' Oltmann read. Anyone who decided to 'pull the lever, mark an oval, touch the screen for that carnival barker ... UNFRIEND ME NOW.'
The Antifa letter had said that non-violent protest was preferable, but 'we cannot and will not take responsibility for telling people how they are allowed to be righteously outraged.'
Dominion has filed suit against Giuliani, Powell, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne seeking $1.3 billion in damages.
The company has also gone after NewsMax, One America News and Fox News for their coverage of the election fraud allegations, seeking $1.6 billion.
Coomer has also filed suit against Joe Oltmann, host of the Conservative Daily Podcast, who claimed to have intercepted an Antifa phone call where Coomer promised he had 'made sure' that Trump would not win the election.
A federal judge refused to throw out the cases against Giuliani, Powell and Lindell earlier this month.

I saw this guy testify in a hearing that was televised (he was not crying). He said that his company's machines could not be connected to the internet which doesn't pass the smell test. How else do they communicate the results to a central location other than via the internet? Many other people have said that Dominion machines could be connected to the internet and could be hacked. Wasn't it Jovan Pulitzer who actually demonstrated the machines could be hacked.
Giuliani's "sweaty appearance" was probably from Covid-19 as it was about this time he was diagnosed as having Covid-19.
The Daily Mail article approaches the standards set by our MSM.

[NYPOST] A newly expanded list of language to avoid using at one ultra-woke college now warns against joking about obsessive-compulsive disorder — unless you’ve actually been diagnosed with it.
More than a dozen words and phrases have been added to Brandeis University’s widely mocked compendium of "violent mostly peaceful" and "identity-based" terminology ahead of the start of its fall semester on Thursday.
But the elite Massachusetts institution’s Prevention, Advocacy & Resource Center, which compiled the list, also notes that what "may be offensive for an outsider to say might be acceptably used by a member of that group."
The additions include, "’I’m so OCD’ (outside of actually having OCD)." And don't refer to a "leg." It's a "limb."
The PARC’s "suggested alternative" — for those who don’t "actually" have OCD — is "I’m very organized, detailed oriented." They're not legs or arms; they're "extremities" Meanwhile, ...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Big Shirley was still trying to snatch Nunzio bald-headed. She was already halfway there... the staffers and students who run the PARC even washed out their own mouths earlier this month, changing the name of the "Oppressive Language List" to the "Suggested Language List." They're not "underwear;" they're "unmentionables."
A footnote on the introductory webpage says that "we retitled this list to center the suggested alternatives rather than the words and phrases that may cause harm." You're not "in the bathroom" you're "indisposed."
The new additions also include "whipped into shape," which PARC says can evoke "imagery of enslavement and torture." You're not "dead." You've "passed on."
Instead, students and staffers at the school in Waltham — which charges more than $76,000 a year for tuition, room and board, and a mandatory "activity fee" — are advised to say "organize," "spruce up" or "put in order." And "truth-challenged" instead of "dishonest"
A new collection of "violent mostly peaceful idioms about animals" contains "more than one way to skin a cat," "killing two birds with one stone" and "beating a dead horse." And don't forget "precocious" instead of "badly behaved"
Pennsylvania woman who pleaded guilty to spitting on food at a supermarket in the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was sentenced to at least a year in jail
Margaret Ann Cirko pleaded guilty in June to a felony count of making bomb threats
Cirko entered a Gerrity's Supermarket location in Hanover Township on March 25, 2020, and purposely coughed on fresh produce and other merchandise
The 37-year-old then began yelling that she had the virus and that everyone would get sick
Cirko was taken to a nearby hospital for a mental health evaluation and a COVID-19 test, which she ultimately tested negative for
A Luzerne County judge called her conduct 'totally outrageous' and sentenced her to one to two years in jail, to be followed by eight years of probation
She also was ordered to pay nearly $30,000 in restitution after $35,000 in food was thrown away due to her antics
Bio-Terrorism 18 U.S. Code § 1365 - Tampering with consumer products should have put her butt in Federal prison for a min of 10 years and if she caused any infections 20+.

These folks went on this at the wrong time of the year and were absolutely not prepared.
The trail they were on (done it myself) is about a 6-mile round trip (3-miles out and back). Pretty easy with moderate elevation changes, but there's a 'rock scramble' towards the furthest point to get to the 'Red Cathedral'. Whole thing took us just under 2-1/2 hours (would have been shorter but we stopped at several places to take photos).
You DO start early in the AM (as soon as there's enough light to safely see the trail) as it begins to get pretty hot about 90 minutes after the sun 'officially' rises. We went in late April and it was already over 95-dgrees when we returned back to the trailhead a little after 9AM. We also carried in a gallon of water and used almost all of that between the two of us.
And there was wind, so the 'Feels Like' index was probably 10-15 degrees hotter.

Within the last 20 years I read a story of a tourist from Ohio who managed to die in a blizzard in Hawaii. He travels to the islands during a typical winter. Somehow he managed to drive to the end of the road on one of the islands snow capped volcanic peaks. A sudden snow storm started, he was caught away from his vehicle and died from exposure. The last thing I am interested in seeing in Hawaii would be - snow.

Bubba,
the people that go to the ~14k' summit of Mauna Kea go for the view and to see the telescope structures
because of the altitude they frequently become weak and if they fall they may have a lot of trouble getting back up

[Historical Firearms] Catherine Leroy was just 21 when she arrived in Vietnam with little more than a Leica and $100 to her name. She went on to take some of the conflict’s most striking photographs. Born in Paris in 1945, her childhood had been permeated by the reports from France’s war in Indochina and when the war again escalated with American intervention she decided to travel to Vietnam, arriving in 1966.
Speaking little English she managed to meet Horst Faas, the Associated Press’ bureau chief in Saigon; he offered her $15 a picture. She would spend the next decade periodically covering the war in Vietnam until the fall of Saigon in 1975. Under five feet tall and sporting blonde pigtails she didn’t fit the conventional image of a war correspondent. Leroy, however, was determined to capture the human aspect of the war. A qualified parachutist Leroy became the first female war correspondent to take part in a combat jump with the 173rd Airborne Brigade when they launched Operation Junction City in February 1967 (see image #1).
In the spring of 1967 Leroy was wounded by shrapnel from mortar fire during the Battle of Khe Sanh while embedded with a Marine unit fighting near Hill 881. Her Nikon F2 stopped the largest piece of shrapnel. She recovered and was back in the field within two months. The following year she was in Hue during the Tet Offensive and at one point she was captured by North Vietnamese Army. She managed to explain that she was a member of the press and was released. While behind North Vietnamese lines she took the opportunity to photograph the enemy as they fought through Hue. She was one of the first Western journalists to interview and photograph the North Vietnamese, she wrote an article for LIFE magazine ’A Tense Interlude in Hue’ making the cover (see images #3-6).

Have you ever read Hell In A Very Small Place: The Siege of Dien Bien Phu(1966) or Street Without Joy: Indochina At War, 1946-1954(1961)? Bernard B. Fall fought in the French Resistance, joined the French Army and served as an independent journalist. He was killed by a Viet Cong boobytrap while accompanying US troops in 1967...
His books were witty and informative. The observation of two French officers too busy to pause their tennis game while the career Cambodian stood at attention honoring the flag lowering was poignant. The aside that the abbreviation for "Mobile Field Brothel" and "Independent Mobile Field Battalion" were the same -- along with the wry question of which one the soldiers would welcome more...
Physician Dr Rob Karas who works at the jail in Washington County, Arkansas, has been using the anti-parasite drug ivermectin to treat inmates with Covid-19
Dr Karas also prescribed ivermectin to an anonymous county official even though he tested negative for the virus
Despite FDA warnings the drug is also sold out across Oklahoma and there have been 10 poison calls related to ivermectin since May
Diarrhea and vomiting are two more common, minor side effects out of many a person who takes ivermectin could experience
Madison said Karas confirmed on Tuesday that he was treating jail detainees with ivermectin and said he was taking it himself and giving it to family members.
The [Washington] Post viewed screenshots of Karas’s since-deleted Facebook posts in which he touts the use of ivermectin and indicates that more than 350 people at the jail had been given the drug, allegedly to no ill effect.
The employee, who spoke to The Post Wednesday on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said they received eight prescriptions, including zinc, vitamin D and ivermectin, despite receiving a negative rapid test.

I cannot find any in Colorado Springs, I asked my DR. For a prescription and she said that they were not allowed to prescribe it. My resting heart beat dropped from 60 to 40 for four weeks of the 2 Pfizer injections. I have had three friends die after jabs. I’m lucky because I exercise 6 days a week for 60 minutes a day. I am not sure I will take a booster.
#4
"I asked my DR. For a prescription and she said that they were not allowed to prescribe it." A lie right there, unless there is some new law governing the rights of physicians to prescribed FDA approved drugs as they see fit. And yes, ivermectin is a drug approved by the FDA for prescription to human beings, despite the lying and misleading headlines of late.

Key takeaway from the NIH link:
There is insufficient evidence for the COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel (the Panel) to recommend either for or against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19.

I have seen a young person extremely ill( pale with dark circles about his eyes, poor balance and very lethargic). His father gave him the horse dewormer he called it and in 24hrs the boy was totally over it. I spoke to the boy a day or two later and he looks great. No symptoms. The directions were for 250 lb horse so the dosage was reduced for him. Now two weeks and still he is doing fine, no relapse.

it's actually somewhat difficult psychologically for a person to actually aim to hit another person with a firearm. most of us are just not wired to cause direct harm to another human being, regardless of the circumstances (and the beliefs of BLM)
it's why the military drills drills drills, so soldiers act without thinking. unfortunately, you don't want law enforcement acting as soldiers.
#8
Well, when someone is shooting back at you it is hard to get a decent sight alignment...just saying. Actually 50% hit rate is damn good in an active shooting.
If you want to improve the "hit rate" use a shotgun and not a pistol...but they likely don't issue shotguns...

Shotgun would be more effective and not damage their already stellar percentage of 'innocents' accidentally wounded by the current NYPD shooting prowess.

*Shrug* Why did the US Army in WW2 issue lighter, handier carbines to support troops. And "missing 50% of the shots" seems about right for "average soldiers" that don't have mandatory daily marksmanship drills.
#12
The new weapons were tested at Rodman's Neck in the Bronx, and recruits firing the new weapons had an average score of 93.7, as opposed to those firing the traditional 12-pound [trigger-pull] weapons who achieved a score of 88.7. Not that bad for the range. Reality is much different; thus the need for 16 rounds.
94% vs 89% is only 5 percent difference. Barely significant, IMHO. Given these are scores for new recruits, I would suspect training as another variable: an untrained shooter is more likely jerk or go off aim with a heavier trigger pull.
As people who actually know stuff have mentioned, the range is not Real Life(tm). A light trigger might be the thing for calm measured target shooting, but when you are running and panting and shaking from adrenaline, a heavier trigger is going to filter out some of the jerkiness. Fight like you train, train like you fight.
#14
An Officers handgun is only an emergency weapon to be used when the Officer can not get to a long gun.
Shotguns and rifles should be issued and used in active shooter events. Woke departments will not issue the weapons (shotguns and rifles) needed to end the fight quickly.
A lighter pull is ok I guess but more time on the range is better.
#15
Was several years back when the NYPD let loose a volley missing the perp target, but wounding a bystander or two. Around the same time a Texas law enforcement officer, while holding his horse's reins dropped two wannabe jihadist at a respectable distance for a handgun.

What I read is that the Ingraham soaked up two harpoons, two USMC fired NSMs (naval strike missle, one fired from the deck of a LCAV 100 miles away), and a Paveway LGB dropped from an F35 off of the Carl Vinson.
Then an 84mm ADCAP torp from the USS Chicago, also 100 miles away broke it's back at the empty magazine locker forward of the forcastle.

Folks, if you haven't had our street lights come on at 2 in the afternoon, this is pretty bad.
Keep on top of your HVAC system air filters.
Maybe this helps, dust storm trick; and not sure what the weather is out there, but turning off the HVAC and running fans through wet textiles like old bed sheets, the theory not importing more smoke (dirt) and somewhat filtering what is already inside.
[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] Murders of human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... and community activists in Colombia were down to 78 in the first half of the year, the country’s human rights ombudsman said on Wednesday, but the attacks persist.
The killing of activists is a top problem for the Andean country, with President Ivan Duque vowing he will not rest in the fight against those responsible amid criticism little concrete action has been taken. read more
"Though there was a decrease in the quantity of homicides, from 90 in the first half of 2020 to 78 in the same period of 2021, I regret that murders and threats against our leaders, principally because of criminal actions by illegal gangs, continue to occur," ombudsman Carlos Camargo said.
"As a state, we must redouble our efforts and take all necessary measures to guarantee the integrity and the lives of social and community leaders and defenders of human rights," Camargo added, citing a report from his office.
The provinces of Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, Cauca, Narino, and Choco recorded the most killings of activists between January and June, the report showed. All have gangs present, cultivation of coca, and illegal mining.
Colombia’s nearly six-decade conflict between the government, leftist rebels, and crime gangs descended from right-wing paramilitary groups has killed 260,000 people and displaced millions.
The leftist National Liberation Army rebels, former members of the FARC rebels who reject a 2016 peace deal and crime gangs like the Clan del Golfo — who are fighting for control of drug trafficking routes and illegal mining areas — are responsible for activist killings, Duque has said.
The ombudsman says 182 activists were killed in 2020, an increase from 134 the year before. Human rights groups, who maintain their own counts, say the figure is higher.

[THENATIONALPULSE] The decision follows the Beijing-backed tech firm hiring several lobbyists, including the brother of Biden’s White House Counselor Steve Ricchetti and CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... guests who have pushed the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
"U.S. officials have approved license applications worth hundreds of millions of dollars for China’s blacklisted telecom company Huawei to buy chips for its growing auto component business, two people familiar with the matter said," Rooters reported.
The reported approval follows a Trump-era crackdown on the telecommunications firm, which has extensive links to both the Chinese Communist Party. Labeled a "national security threat" by the Trump administration and a decades-long Chinese military collaborator by the U.S. Department of Defense, Huawei routinely provides the regime backdoor access to its products, networks, and devices.
Former President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election... ’s State Department also emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party uses Huawei as an "instrument not only for making money but also for pursuing the Party-State’s agenda and fulfilling its strategic objectives [...] deeply enmeshed in Beijing’s system of oppression at home and its increasingly assertive strategic ambitions globally."
The Biden White House, however, has taken a considerably softer approach to the company, as Rooters notes:
Huawei, the world’s largest telecommunications equipment maker, has been hobbled by trade restrictions imposed by the Trump administration on the sale of chips and other components used in its network gear and smartphones businesses. The Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra) ...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know... has been reinforcing the hard line on exports to Huawei, denying licenses to sell chips to Huawei for use in or with 5g devices. But in recent weeks and months, people familiar with the application process told Rooters the U.S. has granted licenses authorizing suppliers to sell chips to Huawei for such vehicle components as video screens and sensors.

As a number of us said or asked a year ago about the VAX. Is it long lasting, will it cover various new strains ... or will be like a seasonal FLU shot differnt every season?
Given the C-19 seems to breed in all climates and conditions... we could looking at shots or boostets every 4-6 months.
Plus NO ONE is 100% sure of the long term affects of the VAX yet. Now add repeated booster shots to the question?

One India just reported yesterday that the now consider Covid endemic, which it seems to me should imply an end to shutdowns and mandatory masking as pointless.

My educated opinion is that COVID-19 will mutate into a highly contagious and not very fatal coronavirus similar to the run of the mill coronaviruses the human race has been living with (and occasionally dying from) for a very long time now.

This virus will live as long as people give it life(it will always be a part of us). I as well as many others choose to ignore it and live on. I had thought people were better educated. In the short time Biden has been in power it is obvious many haven't got a clue on how to do anything correctly. Gird your loins as this nightmare will live on for many years.
[NHK] The coronavirus vaccination drive at more than 800 sites across Japan may be disrupted after foreign substances were found in some vials of the Moderna vaccine.
Japan's health ministry on Thursday decided to halt the use of about 1.63 million doses of the Moderna vaccine that were manufactured in the same factory in Spain at around the same time as the contaminated vials.
Over the past 10 days, foreign substances were discovered in 39 unused vials at eight vaccination sites in Japan. All the tainted vials were made in Spain and were shipped to Japan from late July.
The ministry says it has not received any reports of health damage from the vaccines.
The 1.63 million doses of the vaccine had been distributed to 863 vaccination sites across the country. The ministry began notifying these sites on Thursday morning.
The ministry has not disclosed the names of the affected sites. But officials say large-scale vaccination sites operated by municipalities and sites set up by companies and universities are included.
The Agency for Cultural Affairs abruptly canceled a vaccination program for people engaged in cultural and artistic activities that had been scheduled for Thursday at the National Art Center, Tokyo. The unused vaccines at the site included doses from the same production lot as the contaminated vials.
The ministry says it will work to minimize the impact on the vaccination schedule by sending replacement vaccines to the sites.
Takeda Pharmaceutical, which handles the distribution of Moderna vaccines in Japan, says it has asked the US company to identify the foreign substances and to explain how the vials were contaminated.

[OurCrowd] SaNOtize is conducting Phase II clinical trials of a nasal spray based on nitric oxide as a prevention and early treatment against COVID-19. The trials were approved by Health Canada, where the company is based, after independent laboratory tests by the Institute for Antiviral Research at Utah State University confirmed the company’s Nitric Oxide Releasing Solution (NORSTM) inactivated more than 99.9% of SARs-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, within two minutes.
SaNOtize expects the trials to demonstrate that its formulation safely kills the virus before it can incubate in the nasal passages and spread to the lungs, preventing the onset of COVID-19. The company believes it will also be effective against other viruses, dermal and respiratory diseases and conditions including influenza, H1N1, rhinosinusitis, onychomycosis, athlete’s foot and acne.
Prof. Ferid Murad of Stanford University won the Nobel Prize for discovering the properties of nitric oxide. He now sits on the SaNOtize board of directors.
Read more about SaNOtize in the News section below and watch a video about the clinical trial.

interestingly nitric oxide (NO)is considered a pollutant when it become nitrogen dioxide (NO2) as it frequently leads to inflamation of parts of the respitory system
nitric oxide also leads to ozone thru a variety of multistep reactions
