It needs to be stressed that this wouldn’t have happened without crowd-sourcing his identity. The Cville police have made no effort to investigate these people. Every single arrest has come only because private citizens have identified these people and assembled evidence themselves.

So how long before he appears in court wearing glasses and a preppy haircut while his lawyers talks about childish mistakes, poor upbringing, and not wanting to ruin a young life, leading to a most likely White jury clearing him of charges?

Damn you, autocorrect: “DC cops”

Whitney,

I’m equally moved. I didn’t realise how badly I needed this medicine until it appeared. We have lived through a series of traumatic events manned (using that word, advisedly) by one individual (and enabled by many others).

This is amazing and so heartening to read. I hope the turnout is bigger than expected.

It’s the gif that keeps on giving!

No mention of RS is complete without a gif.

Part of it is also that they have spent a bajillion dollars raising their safety standards and reducing pollutants, all of which now goes to waste if there’s no rules to enforce. It’s basically what happened with the FDA dropping the regulation to put calorie counts on fast food - all the science was done, the menus…

It sounds like they don’t want to be held accountable for the next disaster.

Corporations are like children. They hate the rules and throw tantrums against mommy and daddy for trying to enforce them. But have no idea how to behave once mommy and daddy are eaten by wolves and there are no more rules.

Hey, oil and gas industry! NOW - after years of bitching about onerous regulations and spending gazillions of dollars to elect fascists to “let the free market” dictate health and safety - NOW you’re having a “come to Jesus” moment and realizing those safety and environmental regulations were right all along? Cry…

thank god someone is monitoring the doings.

Just arrived at Camp David, where I am monitoring the path and doings of Hurricane Harvey

The only way it could be better is if the number were 1-800-382-5968 (the numbers spell out “Fuck You”).

“For more information, please reread.”

Others may have said it, but I think Garth Ennis said it best...

It always gives me pause that the people who claim the best of a singular race are always the worst example of it. Take a hard look at this supposed superior being.

Umm, Lynch(e) is an actual surname. Let’s not get ridiculous, now.
