Re: Mumbai attack gunman executed
The failure to execute Breivik for a crime against the state demonstrates the weakness of the modern European notions of civil rights. Eh. This guy has been FAR more useful to Norway alive than dead. In purely practical terms (Disregarding all ethics) keeping him alive and treating him ethically ha...

Re: Breivik complains about his accommodations
I'm sure that he knows this bitching isn't going to go anywhere and just treats it as a way to pass the time, amuse himself and stay relevant. Possibly fight the power by pestering the prison authorities. On the other hand the effect I hope this have is to keep people who might share his views to l...

Re: Breivik complains about his accommodations
That seems to imply there are people who do like you. Is that even possible? Outside of muderous whackjobs like yourself. You just hit the nail on the head on WHY he isn't allowed to corrospond with those people anymore. A bit too much worry that he can influence them to act on their murderous whac...

Re: Breivik complains about his accommodations
No, but the staff (for instance) doing anything within guidelines to make his life miserable is thoroughly inappropriate and should be investigated if there's any substance at all to his claims. His terrible crimes make it even more important for staff to maintain their professionalism and not indu...

Re: Breivik complains about his accommodations
I don't think its unreasonable to complain that your cell isn't sufficiently heated. Prisons aren't about revenge, after all. It isn't impossible that there's misconduct among the staff of his prison (personally I wouldn't find this surprising in the least). Well the complaint about heat as written...

Re: Breivik complains about his accommodations
I take this reaction to be vindication over my views of how we should treat him. If treated like ITGs want him to be he could be a martyr. Now he's just shown as a pathethic human being. The only possible real human rights violation I see in that list is the isolation and that is AFAIK for his own p...

Re: Prometheus (Spoilers)
David is the most interesting character both in himself and what he represents.
He is mankinds creation, but the Prometheus crew are treating him like crap. Why should they expect (Or deserve) to be treated by their creators better than they treat their creations?

Re: Police shoot black man after responding to his Life Aler
The purpose of a TASER is not to film an entire incident. Furthermore, turning a TASER off, even if it includes turning the TASER camera off, is not unreasonable nor inappropriate. Again, the TASER gets put away when you're done, you don't walk around using it to film what's going on. Furthermore, ...

Re: Police shoot black man after responding to his Life Aler
If they are guilty of an unjustified shooting felony charges can be brought against them. A felony conviction will not only bar them from any future law enforcement work, but also a lot of other career choices. This does happen to police officers from time to time, contrary to what some people thin...

Re: Police shoot black man after responding to his Life Aler
Screaming paints a different picture then loud noise. We haven't heard the alleged loud noise or screams so I can't say whether this scream was of such intensity that it was reasonable for the officers to think someone was in danger or harming them self. So, we have the pro-family article claiming ...

Re: Police shoot black man after responding to his Life Aler
No, you aren't missing anything. Intentionally turning off a recording device is a serious breach of policy. Seems to me the question that should be asked then is: If they aren't guilty why are they covering up? being extremely cynical it would seem that every other bit of evidence in this case are...

Re: Police shoot black man after responding to his Life Aler
Question: The police turned their own cameras off. Just why isn't this enough to damn them ignoring everything else than why they came there initially and how it ended? In the professional sense if not legally. I mean when dealing with a sensitive situation I'd assume you'd want it properly document...

Re: Setzer has died
Setzer's funeral was today. I've been in touch with his parents. Talking to them has helped a lot, especially a long phone conversation yesterday. Before that for all the week there was this dark, heavy weight resting on my brain making it even harder than normal to think. That has thankfully lifted...

I know full well rationally that this isn't my fault. I knew even as I tried to get contact with him when I got the note that I was unlikely at best to succeed, but I had to try even so. That was both rationally and emotionally the right thing to do. They certainly couldn't make things worse. Emotio...

Re: Setzer has died
He bought a gun a while back, mother pressured him to return it. At the time he wanted it for sports shooting. If he got the a gun again without mentioning it I think he must have neglected to mention it because he knew we wouldn't approve if we knew why. I think he must have been mulling this over ...

Hopefully the homeowner will accept a little liability here and help you recover some of what was lost, especially considering he apparently loses keys often and doesn't change the locks. that's just asinine Homeowner is A: Family, B: tended to lose it INDOORS which is a major difference (It just m...

While I slept tonight unknown people found a way to enter my apartment (2 room one), and stole my HD projector, my X-box, my PC and about 10-12 X-box games, and a blue ray headset for my iPhone.
