Did you play Police Quest I? It had some of this quick draw mentality. I died because I didn’t shoot the drug dealer fast enough. And once because I cuffed him in front.

Prosecutors have a disincentive / bias reason not to charge police in shootings except in the most egregious cases because they work with police and rely on them to make criminal cases stick in court. You probably won’t see much action unless you take criminal prosecution of police out of the hands of the DAs they…

No offense but I think your proposal if enacted would create a perverse incentive for any property criminal to brandish a gun at police to avoid arrest.

The myth of gun-aided self defense, especially in urban/suburban settings, is stupid.

Hey, I dismissed your comment on an unrelated story because you’re a prick.

He was charged nearly a year after the woman was shot, bro.

You’re a hero.

I hope for the end of the human race.

Looking forward to when Amazon destroys car dealerships.

How is using federal money to build transportation infrastructure corporate welfare again? Is using federal money to build highways corporate welfare because people use them to get to work?

Iowa is a net taker (it gets more in federal spending than it pays in taxes), while New York is a net contributor. So why should a New Yorker pay for anything some dumbfuck farmer needs? Let New York vote to secede and I’ll check yes.

If it takes these commuters an extra hour a day to get to work that’s 200,000 man hours per day of lost productivity. (Realistically dumping 200,000 people into two road tunnels would snarl things a lot worse than an hour per commuter per day).

The tunnels aren’t going to need $30 billion a year, they’ll need $30 billion to be constructed. Did you take math in Texas, too?

Not being able to write off state tax means you’re effectively being taxed on income you never had, and couldn’t have had.

Conscious parallelism is perfectly legal, though. (Google it).

Yeah, and now a computer costs $400 instead of $10,000. I’ll take imported electronics, thanks.

Inherited millions accidentally, buddy.

Are you one of these smart people? You just said 90 percent of intelligence is “acounted [sic]” by genetics. So how would fixing education enable us to have smarter children? Their genetics would be the same regardless of how they were educated.
