(Should’ve taken the surrender in 2001 but Bushy wanted to be a war time president cause it all worked out so well for pops...

Tern community: FLY AWAY! Now! HURRY!
Tern: But my freedom!

Boy this has been a real roller coaster 

Texas just Texassing as usual.

That is what baffles me as well.  My tinfoil hat wearing side says that it was done this way on purpose so that any aggression shown by the Taliban would result in the military reoccupying the country.

It was, however, chintzily built.

That 2 sides bs tells you all you need to know about mayor Whatsit.

“He’s [been] here 20-some years. I mean, come on, he’s never abused anybody. There’s two sides to every story, also.”

Yeah, he’s never abused anybody.... unless you count the video tape of him verbally abusing somebody, or if you believe the complaints of repeated abuse coming from the community. But sure, if you don’t believe either evidence or testimony, then he has never abused anyone.

That’s a ridiculous abuse of power. Now way a 3 day suspension is sufficient.

On another site, white people were defending this mess, showing that it breaks down to a perception of (unearned) entitlement, a universal agreement that they should always supersede non white people by any means necessary. That woman and her child are lucky to be alive.

Yeah, but they are pwning the libs!

It is horrendous to try to imagine the thousands of people doing time who are innocent, committed some petty economic related offense or had weed charges. Even when someone is set free, those responsible for enslaving them are NOT held accountable. Nothing about the current iteration of the carceral state will ever be…

So he spend 23 years in prison before he was exonerated. 2 million for 23 years is almost 87,000 for each year in jail. What a paltry sum in exchange for the prime years of a person life. 

“But when have we ever known DAs to negotiate in good faith with BIPOC?”

Using the same weapon constantly?

2 MIL for 23 years is kinda of bullshit

Mr. Robert Jones is getting about $87,000 per year, which seems a bit low for taking a third of his life. I have three problems with these exoneration cases, as there needs to be prosecution for abuse of power by the prosecutors & police, the settlements often are a joke, and for every person exonerated there are…
