She might have not known, but she would’ve qualified for medi-Cal at no cost most likely, which also includes coverage for therapy and medicine. But people don’t realize that severe mental health disorders can only be fixed when the person is willing to do whatever it takes to fix it. Most people I know with some sort…

Thanks, Reagan!

January 6 in one line.

On a long enough timeline all futures are doomed; I fear for our present. 😏

What a complete tit.

...okay, this is legitimately goddamn funny. And it just goes to show how dangerous discussion forums bullshit can be; some people will go to any lengths to win an argument on the internet. 😂

The whole un-registered gun and tying him to a hitch is the big issue here.

My only wish now as that they were doing it in Texas.

He’d have A LOT of deniability in both those cases. Torturing the guy after the fact basically takes away any of that. 

Very likely homelessness. He was asleep in his truck at 3:45 AM when he if it happened, and one witness was asleep in her van and was awoken by the gunshots. People living in their cars tend to gather where they can park overnight without being hassled. It’s sadly a pretty big problem in Washington state.

Yea that’s not how weapons work. In practice and in the eyes of the court room. For civilians.

Brent Peltomaa valued that cat more than he valued his life.
Michael Campbell valued punishing a thief more than he valued his freedom.
They were all in love with dying. They were drinking from a fountain
that was pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain.

It’s meth heads all the way down

People > property. Yes, even thieves. Shooting somebody over your catalytic converter? Come on. Okay, detain the thief, sure. If you have a weapon, use it to detain them.

This story sucks on all levels

Idealistic, can’t even do this with guns...

It’s one of those scenarios where if the truck had exploded and killed both society would have been the winner, but nobody ‘deserves’ to be tortured to death

Probably because it’s a transgression of one of the oldest tenets of polite society: the violation of another’s family, pet or vehicle. Or, as it was taught to me back in the caveman era, “you do not fuck with another man’s girl, dog or ride.”

Require ID and signature for all sales of used catalytic converters. No cash deals, only cheques or money transfers. If caught buying the converters against these regulations charge the buyer with theft.
