Wild guess is that the aircraft crew knew what seats would be occupied and which are supposed to be vacant and discreetly radioed ahead to LAX.

TSA: please drain your sinuses completely before the security checkpoint to stay under the 3oz liquid limit.

The officers had reason to believe Jackson owned/possessed a firearm with a suppressor

“Others are in favor of their Cybertrucks developing orange stains, saying that they’re looking forward to the patina the stainless steel may develop.”

Yeah, that’s some real brain worms thinking.

He almost ended the life of his fellow officer who was in his line of fire.  Totally irresponsible.

I’m not denigrating a damn fine fish with the name of that rat-bastard.

So two cops emptied their clips at a handcuffed person in the back of a cruiser that they thought was firing at them?  Lucky for the person in question, they seem to be hopelessly incompetent at hitting a target.

It’s not dumb advice per se, it’s just completely un-followable advice for 99% of people. Particularly the people he’s trying to reach. He just doesn’t get how bad income inequality has become up there in his Boomer Fortress.

A little more time at the range and they might have known what gunshots do and do not sound like.

After hearing the sound of the acorn, the deputy reported that he also felt a “tingliness” all along the side of his body. He then said his “legs just give out” and he fell to the ground, assuming that he had been seriously injured by something.

Thanks for the link. I couldn’t find one in the story. (Although there were lots of links to stories about traffic causing hearing damage, PIT maneuvers, random Florida cop stuff, squirrels, and weird car windows. So there’s that.)

It’s the rolling around on the ground saying “I’M HIT!” that did it for me. 🤦‍♂️🤣. This whole situation is honestly terrifying, knowing that these guys are allowed to run around ready to unload magazines of bullets in whatever direction they deem fit.

Jackson, who was in the cruiser while under fire, was apparently unharmed - physically. But he likely has severe PTSD from the terrifying experience.

If you think that the guy you apparently searched and cuffed, in the locked backseat of your cruiser is shooting at you, you need to take the President’s cognition test.

This boomer agrees with you. Ramsey believes all debt is bad, which is incredibly stupid. Am I going to save up and pay cash for a house while paying rent too? Hell no. And if I did this, I would instantly be “house poor” because I have nothing in savings now. Liquidity is important, and yet another concept that…

Most boomers and conservatives like people who “say it as it is.” It doesn’t matter if what they are saying is accurate.

I agree with you on this, but 15's can make sense depending on the time. We had a 30 year in 2016 or 15 when we bought, then in ‘20 refi’d to a 15 with a lower rate and a touch smaller monthly. Now we only have 9 years left or less.

he hates credit writ large: thinks if you can buy a house cash, instead of taking out a mortgage, you should do it... which is just about the dumbest fucking financial advice one could possibly dispense.

Dave Ramsey is a boomer tool.  He friggen hates credit cards--even for those that are able to control their spending and take advantage of the protections and potential rewards/benefits they provide.  Plus, he thinks 15 year mortgages are actually a realistic option; when it absolutely isn’t given today’s wages and…
