Yes, that’s why it’s mentioned.  

Because it does nothing to prevent traumatic brain injury.  Headgear prevents cuts and bruises and external injuries.  Not concussions.  

In all fairness, Tim Kaine was genetically engineered in a lab to be the most forgettable human being who ever lived. 

He made all those movies?

Glad I checked the comments.  I was about to head to google.

I would not be here to convince you that ketchup on spaghetti is delicious if I did not wholeheartedly believe this to be true, and I am willing to stake my good Italian name on it.

It’s starting to feel like Pokemon has jumped the Sharpedo.

Grey, harvest gold, and mauve.

Probably because a child doing something stupid on a school field trip is more appropriately handled by the school administration than the (corrupt, untrustworthy) police. Are we so quick to send a 14 year old kid to jail? Does anyone here think giving a 14 year old kid a criminal record is going to improve anything?

The fact that you’re talking about doxxing (a potentially dangerous action) a middle school kid is fucking gross my dude.  

That’s technically true, but then that’s kind of the problem, isn’t it? As more American companies start doing more and more business with authoritarian regimes like China, and those companies have a greater and greater incentives to bow to the demands of those regimes and put down a hard line regarding what you can…
