I want to ask for understanding, but I'm honestly not sure that's the right thing to do.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Pointing out that the law enforcement system doesn't work for rape victims is 100% valid and necessary to create the public pressure needed to force reform.

I haven't logged into their interface in a few years, but I have to admit, if I saw some of these as options, I'd have a hard time not spending the five minutes it would take to write a shitty reply for a few bucks.

Are these paid?

They don't have any 'jurisdiction' in the first place. They're not a public body and they're not law enforcement. They're a business you pay for a service.

Question - does anyone in the media know what puts a school on this list?

Sigh - how redneck is my family? I have distant cousins somewhere named Doctor, Colonel and Lawyer. Apparently, someone assumed that, when you get your JD, you are known as "Lawyer LaComtesse," never actually having met one.

Wow. A lower-court judge enforcing the law as the Supreme Court has instructed lower courts to do, thus likely saving money on frivolous appeals, rather than enforcing their own personal opinion? What's this country coming to?

The (still relatively) new mandatory stability control rules. NOT because stability control itself is a bad idea (it works fine for most drivers and the rule probably saved some lives), but because Congress wrote it in a way that stifles innovation.

Southern poverty imagined as a quaint quirk of a noble culture? You mean like Duck Dynasty?

"Chevys (Chevy's? Chevies?)"

The last Saab 9-5.

"The S Coupe is 197.91 inches long with a width of 74' 76" and a height of 55' 55""

Which part of Goldiblox is supposed to be revolutionary again?

I wonder if it would sell better here as the Scepter. A bit like, when in the Virgin Islands, I was given a Nissan Sunny. Sure, it was just an old Sentra...but it seemed to much happier than a Sentra.

Probably not quite as hard as when writing about the SS.

More to the point, why is Jalopnik reviewing this? It's so far outside the site's purpose.

Could they not even find anyone to testify to having SEEN the tape? I'll admit to not knowing the details of the case well, but if it's clear that there was once a tape, but they can't find a device it was stored on to try to recover it, can they not even find someone who will testify to having seen it?

It's a good question. The answer is really about a psychological phenomenon more than anything else, but there's lots of evidence that it's genuinely happening.
