If you’re picking and choosing as you go along from the texts you want to implement to justify your latest war crime, for me, that’s not being a literalist. That’s selective belief.

Wow. I seesee sometimes multiple flights weekly, they really must have something going on.

Yep, here in Vegas you see one landing or taking off almost every week at least.

No, the cop needs to be tried because someone ended up dead at his hand and that, I believe, should always result in a trial. As far as I am concerned, the only people who should be deciding whether or not someone committed murder or acted in self-defense is a jury of the person’s peers.

No, again, Nefarious Nautilus said he should be in jail. Not prison. That means that Nefarious Nautilus has not reached a verdict on his guilt. That means Nefarious thinks he should be tried for what he did. And I agree.

I too agree that victims of abuse should ‘drop’ their abusers when they’re in a dangerous situation with said abuser... and I agree that firearms are a perfectly good tool of which to do just that.

Congratulations, this is the dumbest comment I have ever seen on this website. I didn’t think it could be done, but you’ve done it. Feel free to clock out now.

Yep. And now that I check, Louisiana has similar stand your ground and castle doctrines as Florida. I wonder if black women get access to them at the same rate as white men?

If someone can help me get this post out there:

I grew up in a household with guns. I am fine with guns. I would own a gun if I felt like I needed one.

Sheriff: Women should do my job for me

Jails and prisons are full of victims of domestic violence who fought back and ‘dropped’ their attackers. The system is full of cops and professionals more than willing to explain a victim’s behavior as “That’s not how a real victim would behave.” So excuse me if this guy giving someone the pass to ‘drop’ their…

The summer before I went to college I briefly sat in on a trial where the accused was defending herself from a murder charge by claiming she had battered women’s syndrome. She was deaf—and knowing my hometown, i cannot imagine would have had any luck navigating the legal system or the DV system. So she shot her…

“Use the system. Use the system. Use the system.”

Why in the everliving fuck is there a charge called domestic strangulation? What happened to attempted murder?

He was cautioned for trespassing — but not arrested — when he showed up at Monica’s house again on June 19.

I read a thing by a former cop awhile back where he said that 15% of cops will always do the right thing, 15% will always do the wrong thing, and the rest just follow their partner’s lead. Depressing as fuck.

This had nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with exerting power by sexually assaulting this woman. This is so beyond fucked up. And yet another instance where some power hungry asshole is backed up by his peers. This female cop didn’t stop and think “this seems illegal and totally rapey, maybe I should say…

I cannot conceive of any circumstance where a roadside body cavity search would be necessary or okay.

Why does this need to be private? I wish that I had known that it was so common when I miscarried, saying that we should wait or that it’s private or shouldn’t be talked about it why so many people end up blindsided when it happens.
