“Person we hired to say things says the thing” more at 11.

Really irresponsible reporting, to be honest.

“If you work for part of the day you still get the day off” is certainly an…interesting perspective.

Is that legal? I know you’re not allowed to fundraise off your crimes, does that also apply to civil cases?

COOL

Couldn’t have happened to a prouder boy

If she was trying to run him over why did she cut the wheel as far as she could to try and get around him?

It’s not police policy to kill fleeing suspects, plenty of jurisdictions even choose not to pursue. So the answer to those questions is that yes, they absolutely could have let her drive away, as some other police forces already do without issue.

Aside from that, even if they decided to pursue, it is not police policy anywhere to use deadly force to stop a fleeing subject unless it becomes an acute danger to the public. A fleeing subject who has yet to break 10 MPH does not fall under that description, not here, not anywhere.

And here’s a question, if it was such a deadly situation for this officer, how did he not get injured? He was already safely out of the way of the vehicle by the time any of his bullets had an effect. Because he’s not a fucking invalid and can side step a car, which he put himself in front of to begin with, pulling out of a parking spot.

Do you feel safer today because this woman is dead? Does anyone?

I get incredibly anxious about her finding incriminating things that I didn’t do and I know don’t actually exist, but what if they do somehow?

This is the fruits of the GOP strategy that’s been going on for decades to strengthen their support through Christian believers. The Pope is just recognizing the impact of that from the religious side, whereas Barry Goldwater warned of it’s impact from the political side.

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.

It certainly is a terrible damn problem, and we’re knee deep in the shit right now.

I don’t think anyone would confuse military service with freedom.

No problem meaning they shouldn’t care about not being able to wear it? Or that the French government shouldn’t care in the first place?

Probably exactly what has been reported. Putin waited for things to settle, weakened Wagner troops by taking their weapons and splitting their numbers, then they killed leadership. Occam’s razor certainly points to this.

But, of course, the way it was done certainly leaves the door open for conspiracies.

It’s just floating with style

Group A was wronged by entity B. Group A goes to court to seek restitution from entity B. Courts rule that entity B did in fact cause damages to group A and must be held liable.

That’s all reparations are. Entity B is your government. It’s the same legal entity as it was 190 years ago, regardless of the composition of the population it represents. If a group was wronged by their government, this is their only means to legal restitution. Unfortunately since the primary form of income for some governments is taxation, it means people complain about paying for things when that’s not exactly what’s happening.

The alternative is to say that if a government “runs out the clock” and is able to avoid responsibility until the population turns over, then they can no longer be held liable for anything they did prior to that point. That’s not a very good position, in my opinion.

I thought it was okay, which as you said is almost par for the course, but it felt like a generic Marvel movie whereas the first two had some fun heist elements to them. Gave them a unique feel within the MCU that I missed in this one.

The issue of climate change is routinely one of the most important issues for young people, so perhaps she played a role in that.

The question itself is pretty useless because how could we possibly quantify a single activist’s contribution to a global issue?

This would cover things like hunting and/or target practice at a home or private property, so not entirely that weird.

I’m also using Niagara, it’s a really fun but simple design.

I think they’re suggesting an aggregate feed from some number of concurrently logged in users.
