Nah. Blackjack to the back of the head, a hood, and disappear from civilized society forever. If he can’t behave, think, or act civilized, he has no business being in civilization. Because anyone who thinks that some people don’t deserve all the rights, freedoms, and protections of society can lead by example and have…

Somewhere out there, a Bob Katz is very confused...

It was confirmed to have carried rabies. At which point, it was already walking dead. Killing it was a mercy. The alternative is a long, slow, painful death spent hunting and infecting other animals to the same fate.

The bullets weren’t fired from his gun. So the cops lied about that. Next question should be, was it actually his gun, or are they lying about that, too? Because cops would NEVER plant evidence to create a narrative that protects themselves. Especially not the good, honest, hard-working ones who would shoot a kid in…

...shit, you got me.

Soooo...violence and hate, genocide and mass murder, forced subjugation and enslavement.

The legacy of ‘sundown towns’ -- Americans being proud of their hate.

Police? Lying? I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you! [/s]

Note the non-denial response: “However, this report is not based on any announcement by Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd.”

It’s become abundantly clear that Republicans are incapable of, well, acting civilized. They’ll find a way to warp this law to protect one another and harm everyone else. As they have always done.

Never. It’s not a symptom. Cruelty is the whole point.

This issue has already gone before the courts in the US. People were imitating the voices of Tom Waites and Bette Middler without permission. They lost. The method used to create those imitations is entirely irrelevant. People’s voices are *NOT* fair use. They are covered under Right of Publicity.

The people providing the tools aren’t responsible for how those tools are used (see: Sony v Universal). It’s the people using those tools who are liable for how they use them. And we’ve seen cases move through the courts that involve modding and mods, so this isn’t exactly a new legal area (though certainly not…

I suspect there will be legal wrangling over this issue in the semi-near future. The Right of Publicity includes an individual’s voice, and yes, this has gone to court and been upheld. It’s the same legal doctrine that protects a person’s likeness from usage without that person’s permission.

I would counter this with a question about how much some of the big tech companies spend on PR and advertisement.

Well, no, but it sure felt like it! Missed opportunities, I suppose.

Don’t forget the call out in said Bible about the path-to-hell reminder about hypocrisy, which those same people practice in abundance.

It’s also no coincidence that America has a massive for-profit private prison system.

Reminds me of a group mission in Star Trek Online. Big group of enemies, all spread out, minimal cover for you, and a half dozen of the enemies are snipers with elevation and clear line of sight across the entire area. And they’ll fight ‘smart.’ The first player in gets instantly picked off by the snipers all firing…

It’s just a little attempted murder. No big deal. Police gotta police somehow! [/s]
