How does the city overlook a strip of street where cops are issuing 15 citations a day?  Clearly a safety issue, but a city revenue stream...

The argument against Libertarianism in a nutshell. All you have to do is wait for a Black Friday sale or an Easter egg hunt to see that grown adults will reduce anything to fist fights. The last year and a half has shown us how selfish, stupid, petty and violent a large swath of our society is.

Obligatory:

I’ve seen entire classes of 5-10 year olds wearing masks all day, running and playing, without an issue of breathing and zero complaints. Their day to day hasn’t changed one bit except they are required to wear a mask up here in the great white north. Through an entire year, yes even in the winter. But grown adults,…

So. Banning mask mandates in schools are there for the kids. But if you violate the law we will cut funding for your schools...that are there for the kids.

“But there’s no data for that, it’s just how people feel.”

Conservative politicians know this will end up in their state’s supreme court (eventually US supreme court) where they will lose, but the amount of media attention they get “owning the libs” in the process will be priceless. By the time the next election rolls around they’ll be taking all the credit for something they…

Gotta love a public official who gets right to the meat of an issue. Lot of empty bloviating on all sides now-a-days. Science, bitch!

Most cities have lawsuit insurance. Most likely, Dome would get paid, the city’s insurance would go up some more, and no one will question why the city tried to avoid spending a few thousand dollars on speedbumps at the cost of a million dollar lawsuit for negligence.

that’s generally the story. “It takes a death for safety to be considered.”

Boy this has been a real roller coaster 

Texas just Texassing as usual.

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.

“I mean, come on, [we’ve never had to admit that] he’s … abused anybody.”

Hey mayor lady defending the gross abuse of authority, what’s his “side” of using his position and his lights to jump line at a pharmacy ahead of a woman with a child in the car? Hmmmm... hopefully the good citizens of Homestead will vote you out and the next mayor can fire his ass.

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.
