I doubt huggingface wants charges filed.
- __MatrixMan__ 3mo agoThey would be criminal charges. It doesn't matter what huggingface wants.

- bluGill 3mo agoA crime was committed, if there is enough evidence then the state is required to prosecute and the victim has not choice in this. The victim can say they don't care and that will often hold weight for the prosecution, but that is the government's choice not the victims. The victim sometimes file a civil lawsuit against the criminal, that is their choice. That is not a criminal matter though and different rules apply. The attack was only a couple weeks ago. Looks like the lawyers responsible are gathering evidence and preparing to file charges, but they need to figure out exactly what crimes were committed by who before they can do so, thus more investigation is needed.
- colechristensen 3mo agoThe "victim" doesn't have the final choice but their position is heavily influential and prosecutors don't decide if a crime was committed, that only happens at the end of the judicial proceedings. Calm down.
- __MatrixMan__ 3mo agoIf somebody fires a gun in a place where that's not allowed, the victims are everybody in that place. If it just so happens that the bullet struck a window, the owner of that window might be an additional victim for an additional crime but that doesn't negate the first crime.
- rcxdude 3mo agoThere's a lawyer in this thread explaining that quite likely a crime was not committed, because intent matters quite a lot in criminal law.
- bluGill 3mo agoYeah, he came in after my most. To some extent I stand corrected, but in most cases (or at least the ones I've seen) he doesn't actually contradict me since he is really saying "it is complicated".
