Complete aside; I just need an excuse to post these white peacocks;

A female is a Peahen.

Agreed. Uniforms are the way to go, especially since it’s honestly hard for girls (especially girls!) to find clothes that fit within the dress code (shorts for women are almost always SUPER SHORT!) so a uniform takes care of that.

Uniforms.

In that scenario, you could definitely argue that the Congressman might be civilly liable for incitement. In fact, this is pretty much exactly what the people suing Trump for his “get them out of here” comments at a rally which led to some right-wing assholes beating up a protester. He just wouldn’t be criminally…

“Imminent,” from a legal standpoint, almost always means in the next minute or two, or somewhere really really soon. So in the colloquial sense it may be imminent violence, but not from a legal standpoint.

Yes and no. But the reason they are stupid is they are written laws. They need to apply in multiple contexts. This is legal because its free speech. If you aren’t going after a specific person and their basic rights (in this case to exist and practice a religion they see fit), then your right to say crazy stuff isn’t…

Figuratively they certainly could! Literally, they certainly could not.

The laws originally allowed for much easier arrests for incitement, and were often used to go after leftists and minorities, because until 1969, the Supreme Court’s caselaw said that it was against the first Amendment to advocate for unlawful behavior (meaning you could constitutionally be arrested for advocating for…

Nah. Inciting violence in general is perfectly legal. It has to be inciting “imminent” violence in order for it to be against the law.

Superman is different since he was raised as an American. He didn’t know he wasn’t from Earth until he was an adult.

Do you have children? Rationally I agree with you, but as a parent I’m not sure I could just accept my baby dying without knowing I did everything humanly possible to try to save them. It’s primal.

I would never give up fighting for the life of one of my children, rational or not. I don’t think there are any bad guys here, this is just really, really sad.

This kind of stuff drives me insane...as a parent myself, I would absolutely want to exhaust every possible medical option available knowing that my child is going to die without a miracle or experimental treatment. The court should show a little empathy for the parents, and for Charlie, who undoubtedly deserves a…

“Ready to face”

This is such bullshit and it’s repulsive. Bravery is taking action or a stand and then being present to face the consequences. Murdering fucking CHILDREN and peacing out in the process is the height of cowardice and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Oh, fuck you, you disgusting bastard. Preferably with a rusty chainsaw. If you think you’re going to Paradise, you don’t have to be brave at all.

“Brave” and “cowardly” are not explanations, friend. They are pure unadulterated endorsement/moral rejection. You evaluated, not described.

“Not to justify any of the violence, but I’m going to justify the violence by pointing out the attackers’ bravery, while deflecting the responsibility onto the real killers, which are the cowardly Americans.”

But that’s just not true. That’s like saying that no real follower of Christ would refuse to bake a cake for a homosexual couple. Actually, you can find very real support for this sort of thing in their religious texts (whether we like to admit it or not). Sure, the vast majority of Muslims wouldn’t do this, and…
