Glad to see this decision, but I don't really know if it means he's actually going to be charged. There was definitely an undercurrent of "Leave Mensah alone" by cop sympathizers last year when people started showing up at his house, shouting, and vandalizing his house. Like, the dude has killed three people, and none…

heavily disagree. The american concept is about pushing frontiers and boundaries, about doing things better than before, about being exceptional. WE are losing that, and it’s things like regular old cars and gas and oil holding us back. People are clinging to them and we are just going to have to tear ourselves away…

There is not and the family of the murder victim now have their lives upended again too while the actual murderer went free. That’s the ugly picture when cops and DAs play games with justice. Lives are ruined. 

I’d read (but can’t remember where) about an experiment run in the early 10s or late 00s where about a thousand applications where sent out under two names, one was something like John Smith and the other was something like Jose Sanchez.

Can you imagine if we’d had your attitude back at the introduction of the internal combustion engine? If everyone said they were a “bad value proposition” (whatever that means) because we already had horse feeding troughs and people who cleared the sh*t from our streets?

Our transition to EV’s is infinitely easier,…

So someone makes a 911 call about a mental health issue, cops arrive and violently arrest the person having the mental health issue, then K-9 is sicced on him, he’s arrested AND charged with “felony obstruction”.

Why was Moya arrested in the first place if the call was about a mental health crisis and his only charge stems from him allegedly obstructing police from arresting him?

Yeah, more training will definitely unlearn that behavior...

He loves America because for walking faceplants like him, America is the grift that keeps on grifting.

What’s to love about a country where everything is a scam and anyone not rich is disposable?

yeah all these self-proclaimed right-wing patriots don’t actually “love” America at all, they only love themselves and likeminded asshats like them, to truly “love” American means also being willing to criticize it and take it task and striving for it to be better.

I pay my taxes and I don’t do or tolerate crime.

You’re confusing the actual human feeling of love with the Christian idea of “love” which is completely submitting yourself to be ruled. Ghouls like Charlie Kirk have never experienced anything close to love.

The idea of America is a good one.

Not to mention the country is run by the upper class.

It’s almost like if society saddles a generation with massive debt, two economic crises in a decade, while also showing how little the society cares about children or care-giving, people make choices accordingly.

Yep. All of it.

It’s definitely struggling to live up to the marketing.

Yeah. You have your family, you have your ‘people’ whoever they are to you, and beyond that, what exactly is it that you love about your nation state (especially when it’s one this hypocritical)?

The idea of ‘loving’ any country is creepy and weird to me.
