You may not have said they’re the most over-ruled, but the idea that “look at how many cases are overruled, the 9th circuit is occupied by crazies and incompetents” is very much a FOX talking point. And I notice that you chose to ignore the fact that the number of cases a circuit has overruled is absolutely…

In all likelihood, yes. A sizable percentage of mass shooters do exactly that.

Except oopsie, the 9th circuit isn’t the most overruled circuit - you’ve been listening to Hannity, haven’t you? Contrary to what he likes to claim, both the 6th and the 11th circuits get overruled more often.

Actually, practically all shooting sprees end when the bad guy with a gun gets bored of shooting people and either leaves or offs himself. The majority of such shootings that are stopped by Joe Schmoe are stopped by unarmed Joes, not armed Joes. And in the majority of shootings that are stopped by the armed Joes,…

Funny, I haven’t heard anyone saying “things would be better if that guy didn’t even own a gun.” What I see people saying is “the guy across the street deserves praise for what he did but this isn’t really an example of a good guy with a gun saving the day.”

Except the coverage that the jurors was exposed to began well before the case got anywhere near a courtroom. The Sheppard case got insane media coverage right from the beginning. Like OJ Simpson level insane. And the media made pretty much no effort to police themselves; no rumor or speculation was too ridiculous to…

I read the article. You just completely missed my point. Perhaps you should try actually reading the comment before you make snarky replies?

Makes ya proud to be an American, doesn’t it?

I wondered how that worked. I may be doomed to the greys for eternity.

If what you got out of the article is that the Bedouins living in Umm al-Hiran are being forced out for a different group of Bedouins, then yes, you misread the Wikipedia rundown.

I regret that I have but one star to give to this comment.

Man, I wish I had no idea who he is. Just seeing his name in an article makes me feel like I need to be decontaminated.

If anything, it’s even more terrible.

Seriously, if you’ve never heard of an NFL player supporting their communities, you are actively working at it.

Nobody made you do anything. You chose to stop watching football.

There wasn’t much pushback on it, true, but as someone that was watching it live, I can attest to the fact that it was so incredibly bizarre that I suspected that it was killing brain cells with every word. I’m willing to accept the notion that the effect was just as pronounced if you were there in person.

But there’s no legal logic to this ruling. It’s long been settled law that the police have to tell suspects their constitutional rights, because you can’t expect someone to exercise those rights if they don’t know what they are. It flies in the face of reason to expect that a laymen should somehow know that there’s a…

But Weinstein’s public statement acknowledges his “interactions,” even if it’s weak as hell and doesn’t give specifics. If he admits the behavior, it’s no longer an allegation.

I agree that “the man allegedly robbed a bank” is weak, but I’d go for replacing it with “The officer reported that he saw the suspect rob the bank.”
