Arizona is an unlicensed open carry state for rifles and handguns. The whole showdown was already an escalation by law enforcement. Hotel floorplans almost always allow for an approach to a room from two different directions, as well as getting officers into rooms above, below and to either side of the suspect’s room.…

I want to know this too.

Raised Roman Catholic, in my youth I had friends who were Jewish, Jain, Mormon, Lutheran, Jehovah’s Witness, Brethren and various shades of other faiths, and that bent me strongly toward agnosticism. Today, I’m an absolute atheist. Why? Evangelical Christians. There cannot exist a god who could permit or encourage…

I first learned about The Southern Reach Trilogy here, and then when I heard about the film project wondered about who they would cast and how they would portray some of the more bizarre imagery. I’m pumped for this movie, whenever it finally releases, and can only hope there are enough other people out there of the…

Stubs, my friend. AMC does $5 tuesdays and runs promos and spiffs on their site, social media and app all the time. The Stubs Premiere tier even pays for itself in concession discounts and waived online booking fees, and is compatible with Fandango (which is free) as well.

Hey now...there’s a longstanding hollywood tradition of heroes outrunning explosions, so pyroclastic flow should be no problem for Star Lord.

It’s a little insane. I’m all for a plausible explanation if it happened randomly here or there, but en masse and regularly is a different story. Plus, a mail carrier has to physically walk up to the address anyway to deliver the package slip. How does it make sense to go through that effort when they could just as…

I would think a ruder (more rude?) thing to do would be to pay the settlement with a bag of loose coinage, maybe all dated 1984, or whatever the hell her album title was.

There is some widespread pervasive misunderstanding of the term “custody” going on in this country, where worse crimes get perpetrated by the cops when they’ve taken somebody into custody for some lesser offense. Beat a protestor >> sexually assault a minor >> leads to blowing away somebody at a traffic stop. It’s an…

I was there at the Music Box - Jeff Sessions only wishes he were that handsome. He looks like somebody made a muppet out of an old southern dude, and stuffed it into a suit and tie.

Oh sweet doddering old uncle Beauregard!

Yeah, sick indeed. The victim should be pushing next to have proof those photos (and video?) are securely deleted or wiped. Can you imagine the absolute insanity of having to track this shit years later when you’ve moved on with your life, got a good job and a family and photos of your teenage self masturbating in a…

Yes. This. A thousand stars for this.

I hope this case gets datamined and examined and picked apart and studied into the most minute detail - we have so pitiful few examples of officers not only being charged, but actually convicted and sentenced for their wrongdoing that elements of this case will have to probably be emulated in other prosecutions to…

Wait...did this actually get confirmed by somebody in the Jones campaign? Aside from the subject matter, there’s the weird choice of image, and it’s not even grammatically anything.

Decimate, from the verb decimare...if the Weyland-Yutani colony on LV-426 had only been decimated by the aliens, there would be over 200 colonists around to reinforce the colonial marines when they touch down. I think you meant to say obliterated or annihilated.

Yeah - cost effective as hell if you ask me. I mean, let Russia and China keep coming up with new bombers and missiles (and heck, satellites even). If they spend $5-10 billion on a new aerial weapon, and that same spend buys us 10-20 high velocity rail cannon emplacements, we might not need a nuclear arsenal or bomber…

These morons that don’t get the value of public lands and preservation sites are the very same ones that fill up the few national parks and monuments at the peak of the season with their obnoxious gaggles of offspring making a mess and pissing off everyone around them.

Anybody wanna help me with my Kickstarter? I think if we send a tanker truck of crisco and a dump truck full of table salt to the White House, good ole #45's diet will do what Mueller, the Democrats and his own inept cavalcade of imbeciles hasn’t been able to do: END this Presidency already.

Found my original comment, and myself on a bulk signature submission as part of a petition. Felt good about that, then scrolled through the false positives and realized there are two, maybe three versions of the same form letter popping up multiple times opposing net neutrality.
