Re: 91-year-old woman charged over 260,000 Auschwitz deaths

Even dumber than the Groening trial. Why seek to punish someone who had no power to change things, and took no direct part in the killing. Its all a fucking show. The original policy of only holding Senior Nazi officers accountable should have stayed the policy, except under extraordinary circumstan...

Re: NFL 2015

Steelers did just obliterate the 49ers. Says more about the 49ers than the Steelers, though. Ouch. I wouldn't be too hasty about drawing conclusions on either team after one game. That game was a gift to the Steelers by the scheduler makers. Home game on 10 days rest against a West Coast team with ...

Re: Legal reasoning for Knox case released

I think the adversarial and inquisitorial systems both have their benefits and drawbacks, and quite frankly they could probably benefit a lot by borrowing ideas from the other. There may be a system in Europe that blends the best of inquisitorial and adversarial systems, but its not in Italy. The ma...

Of course if her name had been Alashonda King under the same circumstances, no one, even in Seattle (aside from her family), would have given a flying fuck. But an attractive blonde American from an upper-middle class family? How dare they?! Plenty of people of color have been freed through similar...

Re: Legal reasoning for Knox case released

This was a case that I had followed for a while, and I am glad to see the final ruling firmly rooted in logic and common sense. It was pretty clear that this was an attempted railroad job from the start by the prosecutor. Once you were able to separate the facts from the rumors you realize that they...

Re: ISIS Enshrines a Theology of Rape

It is really sad that we are at the point where defending Saddam Hussein has become a reasonable position. Really, I am so fucking upset with how Obama has handled ISIS, and how the Bush administration before that handled the Iraq occupation in general, I don't have anything further to say that wou...

Re: Sandra Bland Arrest and Death

Of course the ideal solution isn't for people to fight back. The ideal state of affairs in order of idealness: 1. Having better trained cops so incidents like this don't happen in the first place. You're always going to have idiots in all walks of life. MOST cops are well trained and intelligent in...

Re: We must destroy the children in order to save them

And what's the age difference between two underage kids for sexting (or other sexual activity) to become a crime? Prosecuting a 16 year old for sexting a 15 year old probably isn't as serious as a 16 year old sexting a 12 year old? Most states allow a 2 or 3 year age gap. So an 17 year old and a 15...

Re: We must destroy the children in order to save them

Clearly there needs to be some sort of reforms there. I don't believe outright legalization is the answer, because some of the concerns listed are valid, but the punishment is absolutely counter-intuitive and in no way fits the crime. Kids who send nude photos of themselves, or video themselves havi...

You're really fucking reaching here... Are you going to actually explain how, or just be dismissive because you really don't want the dad to be the bad guy? How the fuck is it more of a stretch than "sending out some sort of code by tapping their feet?" Which sounds like conspiracy bullsh...

Re: Kids sent to juvenile detention over cold shoulder to fa

Let's break it down. 1. Cops called to file a complaint. Cop finds no evidence, dismisses her complaint. 2. Complained to psychologist. Psychologist asks why the cops didn't follow through with charges, doesn't believe her claims and dismisses them. 3. Court asks why the cops and psychologist didn'...

Re: Kids sent to juvenile detention over cold shoulder to fa

Also, "scared kids" don't act defiant as these children have acted. They comply out of fear. For them to be doing the opposite, would indicate they don't feel fear of either their father or the courts. You have clearly never worked with children in any capacity. And what are your credenti...

Re: Kids sent to juvenile detention over cold shoulder to fa

It seems like the sort of behavior you would expect from . . . oh, I don't know, an abuse victim, maybe? This isn't all that dissimilar from the behavior by communities in rape cases where everybody rushes around the accused attacker if he's popular and well liked. There doesn't have to be any kind...

It seems as though the plaintiffs wish to compel these subdivisions to enact laws or regulations that do not exist under State and Federal statute. As Courts do not write laws, I do not believe they can compel a local government to do so. Any judgement to the contrary would almost certainly be appe...
