Should have worn the bullet necklace for maximum credibility.

This crap again? The hand / heart thing is for the Pledge, not the anthem, jingoistic conforma-dorks. And the Pledge is stupid.
THIS. Why would a real firearm, much less a loaded one, be used in a civilian training class like this?
Our household’s pet theory as well. Makes almost no sense, but still more sense than anything else.
Good job — I haven’t seen this information spelled out anywhere as well as on Jalopnik. Signed up my wife’s 2011 Sportwagen TDI. 80,000 miles, BlueBook trade-in somewhere around $7k; VW says they’ll pay about $19,000 for turning it in if it’s not over 85k on Nov. 1.
Unfortunately, the “pointing-guns-at-people-because-they-look-suspicious-to-you” and the “you don’t let ‘criminals get away’” part of American gun culture are the prominent, relevant parts.
It’s “POM-pa-NO” Florida. Like the fish.
As a Floridian, I can’t help but roll my eyes at the silly Florida Man confirmation bias routine. It’s the third most populous state with excellent open records laws, so the police blotters are more easily picked up than in other places.
Except the rights balancing formula works out a bit differently weighing the free exchange of ideas vs. carrying lethal weapons around.
People sitting in their car on the street doesn’t create some kind of right to hold them at gunpoint.
Box of Infants sounds like the worst Blue Apron delivery ever.
You’ve just made me buy Consider the Lobster, which I had no intention of doing tonight.
We’re in this situation with our 2011 Sportwagen TDI, which has been a great car otherwise.
Those are gorgeous, and we’ve looked, but they’re rare and a good 10k higher.
We love our TDI Sportwagen, but we’ll be taking this deal if it’s as currently described. The real difficulty will be finding anything as useful to replace it with.
Reminds me of when Scott refused to say the words “climate change” out loud, and banned their use by the Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection. Reporters and even legislators started teasing him and his top advisor, trying to get them to just say the words, which they refused to even say out loud, as though they…
It’s this. Cross the NRA, and you’re getting primaried, at least if you’re a Republican.
This is a harrowing, tremendous piece. I think we are behind talking about and understanding traumatic brain injury across the board. I hopes the article gets picked up and recognized beyond the blogosphere.
Sounds like Americans DO recognize the utility of a hatchback, but don’t feel secure enough driving one unless they are convinced it is some kind of burly “truck.” For what are “crossovers” but chubby hatchbacks?
When it was announced Daewoo was going out of business, a local dealership here in Orlando put out a “Buy one get one” offer on these. Never saw anything like that before or since. And even the price for the one was only $5-7k if I remember correctly. So two brand-new cars for something like $3k each. In 1999.
