It's Friday! We always get bear news on Friday. Don't be a grump.

It's funny, that isn't even why I'm against capital punishment. I mean, it certainly is an important point, but personally I am against it because I don't believe the state should ever have the right to take a life. I just think that's too much power.
Because I believe it is simply a matter of being either pro- or anti-capital punishment. Obviously.
Except that one of the symptoms of opiate overdose is seizure, and it actually happens with some regularity. People could be breaking multiple bones fighting against the restraints as the die.
You have missed my point. This was never about the specific case, but the unnecessary risk taken when you support the state killing someone, when our certainty of guilt has been demonstrated repeatedly to be a fallacy.
The point is that we have, in the past, been 100% absolutely perfectly certain about a person's guilt, only to later be proven wrong, and it is entirely unreasonable to support killing someone when the possibility of error exists. This particular person may indeed have been guilty, but absolute confidence in his…
Yeah, so "I'm against the death penalty, but..." is a terrible way to start a sentence if you're actually against the death penalty.
Oh of course, because we live in a world where confessions are never coerced and eye witnesses are never wrong...
I have had a lot of issues with diva cup removal. I once had to resort to a pair of pliers (for fear of having to show up to the emergency room at the hospital where I was, at that time, employed as a nurse).
I don't know, when you're in no way emotionally invested, it's just a big old party with free booze and fancy cake. and these days you even have the chance of happening upon on candy table.
Yeah, maybe instead of despairing for humanity, we think about why it is that people are both painfully misinformed and so incredibly distrustful of authority?
I did that walk in a halloween costume once, and it was, without a doubt, a walk of awesome.
So... Off season lousy weather, sober, eating pb&j sandwiches in my room. Best. Vacation. Ever.
I am most familiar with Canadian statistics, however sexual assault conviction rates are distinctly lower than almost all other violent crimes. So even with only the *best * cases being taken to trial, conviction rates remain low.
I wasn't looking for a polite response, I don't really give a shit. And nowhere did I suggest that you had to have experienced sexual assault to understand it. I just said that you had clearly demonstrated in your previous comment that you lacked any understanding of that particular type of trauma.
Even if you don't…
Obviously system reform is required. But last time I checked, you don't have to issue a material witness order.
No, I know the system from the perspective of a sexual assault services nurse. And I don't doubt for a second that a prosecutor's job must be, at times, terribly challenging, but it shouldn't ever give you the right to re-traumatize a sexual assault survivor.
Do you have any evidence to support your claim that people on this site would be outraged if a material witness order wasn't filed? Because last time I checked, survivors back out of participating all the time and are not arrested and cases fall apart and I haven't seen a single article in this site vilifying…
