  1. Too bad we can't write laws that would prevent people in the midst of a mental health crisis from obtaining/possessing guns. I'm told its because laws don't work in this narrow category of criminal conduct. Shame.
  2. Not Omaha?
  3. Hey, how'd your kid get THC in his system? Uhh, oh, it was probably laced candy that we got at a Halloween party. Yeah, thats it.
  4. Looks like we may have dodged a massive bullet this weekend. Nothing in the story re: cause of death. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-man-wearing-tactical-gear-dies-glenwood-caverns-adventure-park/
  5. My statement was not a sweeping defense of the fairness found in the criminal justice system, nor was it to mean that Black men receive equal treatment under the law. My statement was in response to your post about Powell's public statements that she was coerced into a plea, but I had been seeing similar positions by other posters that this type of conduct would lead similarly situated defendants straight to the slammer. In my experience, that is not the case. Defendants yelling at judges. Calling them "motherfuckers," "bitches," "spics" etc. I have seen defendants with social media accounts posting daily trial updates accusing judges and DAs of all sorts of illegal and untechnical behavior. DAs will bring this up to the courts, and it rarely results in more than a stern verbal admonition. I have seen protective orders, stay away orders, and other judicial orders ignored or marginally complied with. I could go downstairs this afternoon and probably see each of these in real time. They happen all the time, and they rarely, if ever, lead to someone getting locked up, unless the prosecutors file additional charges based on that conduct.
  6. The Brisket approach to geopolitics often leaves quite the trail of collateral damage.
  7. No offense, but I regularly see statements like this on this thread "if she was poor," "if she was black" etc. What are all of you basing these predictions on? Because as someone who is in a criminal court every day, this is not my experience. At all.
  8. Yeah, but then they tortured a carpenter to death and it wiped the slate clean.
  9. Per Rand Paul? lol
  10. Well then mea culpa.
  11. Do you own guns? Was your above admission of mental health issues a false statement?
  12. Um, you're talking to a gun enthusiast who also has diagnosed mental health issues. Not sure you're going to find a receptive audience here.
  13. Since this has morphed from "Israel-Hamas War thread" into "US campus political groups," here's a response to similar conduct in the above tweets: http://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/desantis-bans-pro-palestinian-group-from-state-campuses/
  14. Found on Reddit:
  15. Exactly. Cost of doing business in the US.
  16. Oops, just realized I left my bag of blow in my bag from my trip to Vegas. Better alert the Singapore authorities to my oversight...
  17. Just wanted to chime in that I knew SJL's son in middle school and if time travel is invented in my lifetime, there's going to be an 8th grader getting his ass beat by a elderly man in strange clothes at some point.
  18. I think the simulation has an embedded rule that causes major religions to go on murderous purges and violent conquests roughly 1000-1400 years after the founding.
  19. I think his "tackling and not blowing coverages line" was a tongue-in-cheek admonition to the portion of the fan base who thought Watts had reached his ceiling and his loss would not impact the D as much.
  20. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/22/an-atmosphere-of-fear-free-speech-under-threat-in-israel-activists-say
  21. The gift that keeps on giving. The portion of his base that thinks JFK (and Jr.) is still alive is not going to be dissuaded by a funeral and obituary. Its just that their savior had to go into hiding from the deep state and will one day return to reclaim American greatness. I could see this movement outliving my grandchildren (who are not born yet)
