I read this:

Exactly, housing first is the only thing that works. Houston used to have the 6th largest homeless population in the nation, but the housing first policy has cut that number to something much smaller, we now have well less than half the homeless population of Seattle. Now there is no one size fits all solution, but…

I agree with all of this.

I suspect the kid is going to be institutionalized for the rest of his life, which perhaps could have been avoided if basic firearm precautions had been followed in the house, as the lawyer says they were, but obviously was not actually the case

Bottom line, if the gun wasn’t secured enough to keep it out of the boy’s hands, it wasn’t secured enough, period. You can say it was just an “oops,” that one time someone forgot to put the gun back where it belonged or lock the safe. But if you’re handling the gun often enough to get absent-minded about it, you’re…

That boy needs some SERIOUS counseling and guidance up to age 18. If at 18 he is assessed and hasn’t shown improvements, we got a candidate for a mission to mars.

“At what point does it become acceptable to basically incarcerate someone who doesn’t want the treatment?”

Seriously all he has to do is push the lever to ‘Good’, why doesn’t he do that? Everyone should vote for Trump in 2024, he’ll push the lever the best way, lots of people are saying it!

As someone stated, it’s about context, why do you think it’s not a problem for RDJ in Tropic Thunder, it’s satire on actors being so into their work who wants to be a Daniel Day Lewis to the hyperbolic extreme of being so aware that they are not self aware that they did a whole surgery for black face to place a…

This was my response, after “He’s still alive?”

The man hasn’t even been nominated for a Best picture since 1996...
The only people that would’ve nominated him are probably dead by now...
What a weird way to come out as a racist because of a prize you can’t obtain.
This sure sounds like...
“Old man yells at cloud for being too dark.”

I offer him my most sincere condolences on his apparent diagnosis of dementia and my outrage that his family allowed him to expose it in such a public manner. Clearly they had a duty of care to keep him from hurting himself in such manner thanks to this horrible illness.

Fuck serving that family. I wouldn’t have done it. The fact the managers pulled him aside to talk to him about it in advance makes it clear *they* knew shit was going to go down, and decided to do nothing about it.

FYI: The Dr Emilio Lizardo (account: paging-doctor-parody) imposter account posting here in this thread is NOT the long-established account user known in the Giz family.

There is zero chance that the guy who put him in a chokehold knew about any of those prior arrests. In that guy’s eyes, he was an anonymous, complete stranger with no known history.

Regardless nonfatal restraint of someone violent is the acceptable limit. A civilian strangling someone to death is entirely unacceptable.

By looking at picture of choke I can tell the White choker was a trained martial artist. He has him in a jujitsu, Rear Naked Choke hold. He has his back and the hooks are in (legs crossed and locked over other person lower half to get more leverage and body control). Once you apply hard forearm pressure to neck area,…

Yea that white boy needs to be charged with murder. People are always yelling in NYC or on the subway. You just ignore it unless they are putting hands on people. 

Agreed. If there’s any profession that should be a zero-tolerance gig, *law enforcement* is definitely at the top of that list. Law enforcement officers are far too often shown *CRIMINALLY* negligent levels of ‘discretion’ by other law enforcement officers and the public. And the consequences of this discretion is a…
