We found one of the truckers with bad language comprehension skills!

“It took some wild mental gymnastics — including just making shit up — for the police could find a way to blame a kid killed by such a driver, but they got there.”

If you want to kill someone, hit them with your car.

I hadn’t realized by virtue of not obeying the law was a death penalty.

Cop logic: Why would you ever try to flee after I just emptied my clip into your car?

This story is hilarious because it’s one of those rare situations where the totally corrupt and criminal thing to do was also undoubtedly for the greater good. Meigs field was cool as hell but not remotely necessary.

Before you come into these comments (looking at you grays) and start asking “well why was he running?” or any variation of why Patrick Lyoya is guilty, I will take this time to remind you that:

Republican governance at its best.

Well the shooting is not in the footage, but from the description (and from the level of threat shown by Mr.Lyoya in the footage) it does not sound like an “unnecessary use of force”, it sounds like an execution.

Given that the article says that this occurred during spring break, it’s quite possible no one was there.  Hell, she might have been off for the 5 days herself over spring break.

One mo mother fuckin time: HOW & WHY ARE WE THE ONES THAT ALWAYS END UP DEAD???!! I mean there is never any benefit of the doubt at all. I have seen white men with weapons talked too with reason but here are two people sleeping that somehow end up dead? Like I been saying there is a reason I don’t give a shit when a…

Several of us - on the original post regarding the police finding them - called the fact that this is why they had possession of the fetus in the first place. They were using them to create “gotcha” videos.

Ugh. The article buried the lede. Its not enough that he’s trying to police women’s “private bathing suit parts” ... it’s that he’s suggesting that only pregnancy tests administered by a doctor or a medical lab would suffice.

Is this gonna have that weird math where big trucks get some sort of exception and such so 40 MPG really means somewhere in the mid 20's for realworld gas mileage?

It’s still a pedestrian crossing, even if it wasn’t painted, and even if it was painted illegally.

A fact I wish this article mentioned - these are ALREADY legal crosswalks. Any non-marked intersection is... you guessed it.. a legal crosswalk. The paint just makes the legal crosswalk easier to see. These “illegal” paint jobs are likely not creating new crosswalks, but highlighting existing non-marked crosswalks.

Like ... What in the Actual Fuck? What brain problem do you need to have where collecting aborted fetuses IN YOUR OWN HOME seems like a good idea?

Membership for living in this country requires everyone to pay an amount to keep a certain standard of living. Do you like roads? Living in an area of the country where there are too many dirt roads, I can tell you that is not a solution, and even then they need upkeep.

Sounds good to me.
