Hey, Clark, are you taking the family to Europe or Vegas this year?

No, not randomly. Based on the evidence of violations. My point is that prosecutors have an obligation to use their discretion to proceed or not proceed with charges based on what best serves justice. This strikes me as one of the times to be very rigid, sending a message to other yahoos that drugs and guns don’t mix,…

I say this as someone who has been to Worcester—if you can afford a jet rather than Greyhound, why are you going to “Woost-ah” at all?

That’s probably a Federal offense.  :)

You must not fly much if you’re not familiar with the notion of circling an airport once you get there.

The real Hell was the necessity of flying to “Woost-ah.” The de-plane-ing issue was just a teacup of water on a drowning man’s head.

In fairness, most people on the left or right have no idea what those terms mean. For them or against them, both sides are making up their own definitions.

Yep.  Change your wifi network name to “Surveillance Van #4" while you’re at it.  :)

Fat, Orange and Stupid--do you mean Ms. Marquis cat?

I’ve run across these protestors on I-395 in Virginia on a fairly regular basis. They all have been driving normally and with the flow of traffic, not blocking or snarling traffic. If an extra 40 or so vehicles want to waste time and gas in commuter traffic in the DC area, I don’t see why we care.

I don’t understand why they aren’t prosecuting everyone else for every minor thing they can find.  Whether race motivated or an unfortunate accident, all of these yahoos ought to be held accountable for mixing drugs and guns.

Your vision of full-auto rock and rolling, blazing away and cutting down trees, is a scene out of the movies, and not correct. The AK-47 used here likely was a semi-auto version available to civilians and widely used for recreational shooting and plinking at targets. One trigger pull, one shot, the same as firearms…

In most jurisdictions, consumption is not a crime even when possession of the controlled substance would, by itself, be a crime.  

The Ukrainians of 2022 would disagree with you about the importance of private ownership of firearms in this day and age...

It was likely a semiautomatic rifle.

This is a great point—the reason he gets in trouble in because he uses a racial slur against a comedian? That’s the straw the breaks the camel’s back? Not all of the threats of violence in a domestic dispute?

Let me be blunt—this is no longer a place for people who like cars to write about cars. This “is there any point to life in our dark and terrible world?” article hung on a framework of a car review is the future of this publication.

I still find it hard to see why it is worth “spilling ink” on couple dozen truckers doing laps on the Beltway.

All very true—but historical inflation-adjusted pricing doesn’t change the fact that gas prices have nearly doubled in six months. That short term volatility is real, and people generally do not have the budgetary means to shrug off such a change. Just because we went from a historic low to a still relatively low…
