I have always thought this. We may be the minority, but you're not alone.

And the other people had been living their lives for years with loves, relationships, connections, hopes, and dreams—and all that was taken from them. So that’s less tragic than a kid?

I worked in Baghdad (development aid worker) for a few years, and these sorts of bombings with high death tolls were relatively commonplace. By the time I left, they were increasingly rare, and I truly believe as I boarded my last flight out of Iraq that things were on the upswing. My then-boyfriend (now husband) and…

Actually, IS proclaimed at the beginning of Ramadan, that suicide bombers would score extra martyr points during this period :-(

“I am not perfect. Nor are you.”

It’s clearly OUR mistake for being critical because WE have to remember he’s 21.

“I am not perfect. Nor are you.”

“I hope this paints a clearer picture as to why I reacted the way that I did.’”

Oh yeah ... it does do that.

Didn’t need to watch the video (or even read the headline), if he regularly posts videos to YouTube, yet still holds his phone in portrait mode when shooting video, that tells me all I need to know about him.

I hadn’t seen this comment from Fisher before:

All responsible gun owners are responsible gun owners right up until they aren't. Weird how that works.

This wasn't speeding. If he was doing 80 on the LIE at 2AM, I'd agree with you. This was recklessly weaving through traffic, making multiple illegal and dangerous lane changes, and putting the lives of dozens of others at risk. I'm entirely in favor of felony charges for drivers who injure or kill cyclists and…

In your opinion, someone fires a gun into a crowd and just happens to miss. How should that be handled?

Watch the video (on the metro.us link). These BMW drivers seem to think that they are riding motobikes: they actually split lanes — going between two cars that are driving parallel to each other in adjacent lanes. It’s insane.

Cyclist hits car. Cops come. Cops review GoPro video and statements from witnesses and determine cyclist is at fault. Cops take video as evidence and cite the cyclist. Come to it, cyclist is the father of a OC Detective. A little time later, a full on investigation happens and 17 cars are seized, 16 of which are…

Of course they will back down.

No, I'm pretty sure if I were camping in an area where it would warrant such a thing, I'd be packing a pistol in the least.
