The fact that only one side is being told is precisely one of the problems. Why are the police unable to give precise answers as to why property is being seized? They should have answered that question when the property was seized, yet its 100+ days later and there is still no response.

I think if they were caught speeding, they’d have been charged with speeding.

The US Military legal code is known as the UCMJ (Uniform Code if Military Justice). Article 134 covers general offenses (ones not otherwise specified in the code). This includes things like making the military look bad or damaging unit moral or cohesion by doing something that otherwise isn’t specifically forbidden.…

This is simply reality but it is scary and heartbreaking and so many people do not want to face it. So instead of admitting that this can happen (and actually isn’t all that rare, considering) people want to believe that late-term abortions are because irresponsible sluts just want to be able to party or some…

While what her jackass boss did is not a HIPPA violation, in some states (like mine CA) it is a major legal violation and there are massive reprocussions, up to and including termination.

My mother, who threw up on me when she read my diary at 16 and vomited on me because she read of my attraction and confusion I now identify as bisexuality. My mother who still, spits the work out gay in angry and whispered tone so my siblings don’t hear her. My…

Yes, being light makes him much more palatable to most people, but he’s black. Prince was black and proud and most people in their right mind don’t question that. Why dissect Steph and his family? You can still be black and benefit from the privileges of having light skin.
