The only liberals that have given Polanski even the slightest thought in the last 20 years or so are hardcore movie buffs, hardcore true crime buffs, and/or over 45.

If y’all don’t mind, I think I’ll join you. After taking a long decontamination shower.

Christ on a damn cracker - so you’re only going to be happy if the statute actually uses the word ‘harassment’? Well, okey dokey, then. Since we’ve talking about Colorado, I’ll stick to that jurisdiction: 18-9-111 C.R.S.

Whipping out your wiener without consent falls into the category of what is generally referred to as lewd and lascivious behavior, and it is most definitely a crime. If you want statute numbers, you’re going to have to be more specific, because I’m *not* going to look up statutes for 50 states and the District of…

Except no, most states don’t require actual contact or penetration, they just have a different name for it. Most states classify what LCK did as lewd behavior, and it’s most certainly against the law.

Rule #34 corollary - Whatever you do, do NOT google whatever bizarre thing just popped into your head just to see if it exists as a porn niche. It does, and you will never get that vision out of your head.

Actually, SCOTUS doesn’t disagree with Ron. Despite the way some people like to waive the Heller flag, it’s not remotely as far-reaching as people seem to believe. It only says that there cannot be a blanket banning of all firearms. Scalia himself in his decision notes that restrictions can be placed on gun ownership.

But you’re misstating their reasoning. The founders had seen the way the British used their massive and well-trained standing army to abuse the citizenry, and they were determined not to follow that same path. Their intention was to allow the states to create a system of local militias that could be called up by the…

Um, no. The Constitution actually was designed to give the federal government *more* authority than it was afforded in the original Articles of Confederation, because oddly enough, allowing the states to do whatever they damn well please turned out not to work so well.

You left out the part where Scalia specifically stated that the Second Amendment is not an unlimited right, and gave the OK to bans on specific types of guns, licensing and registration requirements, and laws that restrict some people from gun ownership at all, among other gun control measures.

The Air Force bears some of the responsibility, but from looking at his record, they’re not the only ones. This guy might as well have had a sign around his neck reading, “I’m absolutely nutballs and I enjoy hurting women, babies, and animals.” All he needs is an arson or two and he would have been hitting the…

Not according to 45.

Sure...why would people who have been singled out for abuse for their entire lives be worried because the guy who spent a sizable chunk of his campaign promising to destroy your life for no other reason than he doesn’t care for your sexuality?

“People who grew up in the 60's or 70's would laugh this article right into the recycle bin.”

Straight white Christian male?

If you think that there is even a remote possibility that we’re going to somehow return to a world where you can pay for your baby’s birthin’ with a couple of chickens and a pound of fresh butter, then you’re flatly delusional. There is absolutely *zero* chance that costs are going to magically drop to the point where…

Which would all probably be a lot more comforting if it seemed even remotely likely that the current occupant of the Oval Office has any idea what MAD is, or what a measured response is. Or that he won’t take a notion to launch a pre-emptive strike at Nambia.

Except ethical departments (and departments that don’t choose to be on the wrong end of lawsuits) require officers to have suspects sign a written waiver of their rights. Waiving your rights is not a passive occurrence, it requires action on the part of the suspect.

Yes, I read the reports that he was wearing the mask. No, they don’t make you impossible to identify to a roomful of people that have known you for years.

Well, unless they’re brown. Then it’s always time.
