Stand your ground doesn’t mean you automatically win. It also doesn’t give you cart blanch to do whatever you want and shoot your way out of it. I’m admittedly not up to date on stand your ground as we dont have it in CA but I dont think actively approaching someone not on your property with gun already pointed counts…

If she had lost her balance and fallen off the car - into the water, possibly injuring herself in the process - she’d have complicated the task of the people coming to help her.

If you’re wealthy enough to “park a car” you’re pretty much asking for it, right?

It’s understandable.  The pandemic has hit people hard, these people are just trying to sca... earn a living.

I wonder if Erin would be quite as cool with stealing if thieves broke into her home and took her stuff. The thought experiment can assume that these thieves are “suffering from income inequality” or are “desperate”. Perhaps “shit has even been real” lately for them?

Stealing is not a good thing to do, we all know that. Thieves are out to make a quick buck at the expense of someone else. But this strikes me more as desperate, wholesale looting than property crime.

Yeah, my sympathies are with the people who paid (a lot—they’re not cheap) for epi pens to save their lives and didn’t get them, not with the vandals and thieves that _really_ need a hit of meth and trashed the life-saving pens. They’re not stealing food and blankets to care for their families, they’re just stealing…

“Now, every outlet is calling these folks thieves, and sure, that’s technically correct.”

I should’ve stopped reading the first time Erin offered excuses for criminal behavior. But I kept reading and found more of it.

This weird apologist take is just bad. These people are thieves, stealing things from OTHER people who legitimately bought something despite the poor economy. This isn’t a stick-it-to-bezos thing. This is impacting folks like you and me who work to pay their bills, then get their hard-earned shit stolen by someone who…

*shrug* I liked The Dark Knight Rises.

That's pretty dope.

Idk there, a solid 1cm? (Dimensions hard to judge) crack in a welded part that is on visible non-redundant drivetrain parts doesn’t seem like “invisible and unpredictable” until it breaks. It seems more like the kind of thing that bridge inspectors note growing fatigue cracks on for 20 years before anyone actually…

Incredibly lucky the people filming the second angle weren’t injured or killed. The moment the video started I was thinking “Do not stand in front of an impending train collision.”

If I recall correctly, he took a gas can, poured its contents into the interior, then lit it up. Firefighters initially thought he was sitting in a front seat, but it turns out he took off after setting the blaze.

For sure. There’s so many better preowned small-crossover options for $15k, even in todays market.

Someone needs to do a well being check on the guy who’s putting in all that effort into trying to find an used EcoSport.

And if the dealership lands some schmuck who coughs up the big bux, that means they were exactly right in doing so. The dealership is there to turn a profit so they stay in business—duh. And if we’re actually talking capitalism, then charge what the market will bear. Make Adam Smith proud. If it turns out they…

I own a 2015 Xterra Pro-4x in excellent shape and i could probably sell it for what i paid for it almost 4 years ago here in CO at least.
