sorry, i missed the ">" in noel's post.

I still maintain that a majority is 1/2+1 because anything greater than the 1 doesn't matter much unless you want to try to factor in a decisive victory.

The cop that did the pit was hit by the suspect when they had him blocked in, that's how he got away again.

Once he hit that car, all bets were off. They had him blocked in and he rammed the cop to get away. That shows his intent and a total lack of disregard for the safety of other.
