Didn’t return your grocery cart? Straight to jail.

On a tangential note: I propose we ship the top 1% wealthiest people to Mars and make them colonize it.
We can send all the life sentence and death row convicts with them.
Sure, but there’s also cost to the state to be considered.
That said, the common methods for execution used today are surprisingly expensive.
Until they kill a beloved celebrity, there will be insufficient outrage to force change. And even then, it might not matter beyond the specific cops that did it.
Yeah, I do not get it.
Having grown up in a redneck community, I’m quite confident Trump supporters can at least make a functional pipe bomb.
Goes back before Reagan, even. Look at Nixon. His pardon from Ford started the trend that the president was above the law.
Yeah. I’m tired of embarrassment every time I see my state mentioned in a news headline.
Agreed, but it’s unfortunate, because I feel that clinical detachment can come across as insincerity in a therapeutic context. It can promote a feeling of cynicism.
As an Idaho resident, I know any time our state is in a headline, it’s gonna be bad. I don’t even get how our state is like this.
So, I get that there’s a feeling of relief to see justice done, and a general sentiment of “fuck the police,” but…
The tone of this response is pretty inappropriate. A man died at the hands of a police officer. Now, said police officer is found guilty of murder and denied further appeal. This best outcome is still a somber event.
Don’t be Reddit.
EDIT: Rather than respond to each reply, I’ll just add this:
To anyone claiming I’m conservative or a bootlicker: You seem to be overlooking the fact that I said “justice was done”, “fuck the police”, and called this cop a murderer.
I was just saying that a Nelson “Ha Ha” is not the right tone for this situation. It’s not like the cop tripped and faceplanted into his ice-cream cone. He (rightfully) got convicted for murder. The “Ha Ha” seems (to me) to downplay the severity of his crime. In my opinion, it makes light of Floyd’s death, as much as it revels in Chauvin’s conviction.
In closing: ACAB.
Yeah, imagine a small rural town trying to start their own car factory today.
“Oh, it’s going to cost $100 Million? Well shit…”
I thought we had voted to end it. Did I dream that?
Googling it, it looks like it never got all the way through the legislature. Ugh…
As much as I love Conan, and enjoyed Conan’s comedic style more than Ferguson’s, I feel like Craig did better interviews.
Yeah, I’ve seen this come up a couple times.
The problem is the English language doesn’t have a word that works as well as “children” when talking about your adult sons and daughters. The technical best might be “offspring”, but it has that same weird clinical sound as referring to people as “males” or “females”. It’d be like trying to use “humans” as the inclusive replacement for “ladies and gentlemen.” (That said, “humans” has a certain comedy value in its use.)
Same, unfortunately.
Also, I’m not great at carpentry.
Every day is guillotine day if you’re brave enough.
The best time to build a guillotine was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
If I ever ran for president, I’d run on the platform of building a permanent, working guillotine next to every capitol building in the US. Then I’d have a giant guillotine the size of the Statue of Liberty built of American steel, and have it sent to the people of France.
Not paying is contempt of court
Yeah, but so was violating the gag order.
If he isn’t jailed on a third strike, I’m done following this.
Weird… I remember thinking Eisenhower was on the dime, too.
Mandela effect?
Trump would be a scab, but he’s never worked a day in his life.
