This reads like a shitty Babylon Bee parody or similar. I know Jez has never been the height of Gawker humor, but yikes.

This reminds me of the Chappelle show Real World skit and the washcloth bit.

Pappy is crazy overvalued today. You did get to get it at MSRP. That’s really about all it’s worth. Enjoy it or go buy a shot somewhere first to see if you like it enough to keep or resell. 

We’re talking about felonies...

I answered better below to Phoebe, but:

I could and should have stated it more politely, but it is a bit sad to have to explain such a basic aspect of the law. I do believe that we all have a responsibility to educate ourselves on the basics of anything we want to have a strong opinion on and, especially, discuss in public.

I understand being against the death penalty. I don’t support it in all, but the most extreme cases personally. I am fine with Dylann Roof should be executed as an example.

It’s in the article. I am not making a statement on the claim’s veracity, but what the prosecutors allege is clear:

The prosecution alleged that the three officers were killed as part of a plot, devised by Woods,

The Trumps are losers, but hunters are the biggest conservationists on the planet. You are wrong to attack Don Jr. for hunting and even trophy hunting. Alternatively, his support for his father’s assaults on the environment,public land and the Endangered Species Act are very harmful to conservation efforts

Yes because maybe if you had not agreed to participate then the other person wouldn’t go through with it. If you chose to be party to a criminal act then you are responsible for the outcomes even if you did not anticipate them.

I agree with all of that and think that’s obviously what RBG was saying.

Yeah, I wasn’t really making any claims on what should be the ultimate outcome because I haven’t read anything about the case other than this article, but clearly the execution should not happen at this time.

There is a gem of a hot dog spot in North Carolina that has one tiny ketchup packet for sale taped to the wall for like $20 or $100. I can’t remember which. That’s a good happy medium that allows the option, but viscerally discourages it’s use.

I am down to only my road bike and a cyclocross bike now. Trying to be good. Somehow my one kayak turned into three during that time frame though.

I have no problem with this guy being executed given that he was “only” an accomplice. If you go along for the ride, you have to be prepared to take the consequences.

1 MOA means little to most people so I was combining terms. Okay, you win I guess is what you want to hear. You clearly have no intention of finding any consensus. I get why you were afraid I’d be pedantic because you are now trying to nitpick my argument with the MOA thing. People always fear their own tactics.

I’m disingenuous, but not you? How many AR-15s do you own? I have been gunsmithing for 20 years with my family and own a shop with a metal lathe and drill press to tool many gun parts myself. You very well could know more about guns than me, but I haven’t seen evidence of that yet.

No, my argument is that the .556 bullet (which can be fired from other weapons than the AR-15) is simply beholden to the same laws of physics as everything else. Since those are immutable, it is neither a point for or against the AR in this argument, in my opinion.
