Its not HF you want, it's Piranha Acid. Which does to organic materials precisely what the name suggests.

Piranha Solution

The acid is aided by the other ingredient to be extra hoongray.

But you'd need a lot of it, somewhere nobody would notice the clouds of toxic smoke, something big enough to hold the body that the acid wouldn't eat, and a way to dispose of that much reacted solution all without raising and flags.

There's easier ways to get rid of a body quickly.

Just hope nobody suspects the catapult guy when a body comes crashing through their roof in the exact angle and trajectory their catapult would shoot it. Hose it off and turn it around quickly, maybe?

1) he

2) ftfa: The suspect, 16-year-old Joshua Cooper, is being charged as an adult for criminal homicide

#2 usually means they are trying for a longer sentence.

Can any of our local lawyers explain how this is even legal? Why have the adult/adolescent divide if you can just ignore it?

The general idea is to be able to provide flexibility for situations that are close to that dividing line. For example, there's no good reason to require a more lenient sentence for someone who killed someone the day before their 18th birthday as opposed to the day after.

There's also some notion that as juveniles they might not fully understand the consequences of their actions and thus shouldn't be punished as severely, but this can run into a paradox with violent crimes like 1st degree murder where premeditation is one of the elements of the law. (Basically it's hard to argue "I didn't know that would hurt them so you shouldn't punish me as harshly" when you explicitly planned to hurt them.)

That being said many jurisdictions have taken it well beyond these basic ideas. Florida, unsurprisingly, is pretty notorious - you can be tried as an adult as young as 14, and it's solely at the discretion of the prosecutor.

I still say we should have been catapulting dead covid victims through McConnell's windows.

Every half hour, there's the sound of glass breaking and thwump as the body hits a wall, then the floor.

It's legitimate political discourse!

Surely we would have run out of windows relatively quickly
