I wonder if they have jury nullification or something similar in France.

Really? Do you know nothing about her background? She was one of 20 students in the world granted early acceptance to NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Surely a professional musician can call someone like that more than a “glorified karaoke singer”? Here she is at 18 performing while at NYU:

Lady Gaga was one of 20 students in the world to be granted early acceptance to NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. No, a session musician is not comparable to her.

I think it’s broken. It showed me actually getting correct (in green) several of the slogans and incorrect (in red) several others. And then it said I got 0% when I clicked on the final “results” button. Surely if I got several correct, it is more than 0%?? Literally everybody is getting 0% if you look at the…

I’m going to nitpick language - it’s not “cleared of all charges” when discussing civil claims. I have nothing actually substantive to add.

Guns do have safety measures on them. It is highly unlikely that most guns are going to fire unless the safety is off and someone deliberately pulls the trigger. I don’t know what type of safety measures they would be able to put on guns to prevent nut jobs who know how to utilize them from using them. But I’m open…

That’s the problem though, right? They are asking the court to legislate and it is not going to do that. Let’s just all keep our fingers crossed that both the house and senate will go blue this election.

Yes. You’re missing the fact that gun manufacturers who follow the laws in place, however unfortunate those laws are, cannot be sued for a defective product unless said product was actually defective. What is the basis for this lawsuit? There was no regulation that was violated. There was no defective product…

No. I would have never attempted to enforce my eating disorder on someone else. I knew very well that I was messed up and was just jealous of everybody who wasn’t. I wouldn’t have tried to bring them down into my crazy.

A fraternity is not a “social club.” It’s not some group that meets every Wednesday for beers. It’s a house full of men who live together, have crazy drunken parties together, and encourage and legitimate each other’s behaviors (good or bad). The problem is not that there are no decent people in fraternities. The…

I don’t think there is a woman alive who would not fear being raped in this situation.

Ok, but is that really his problem? Or is he concerned about her taking their kids to areas that are unsafe? Or that she is jetting off with the kids when they should be in school and they are behind in their studies? I don’t really think we can assume what his reasons were from the small quote we were given.

I think what she is perhaps pointing out is that there is no “start” if the cops involved are men. So while it looks like we may get some accountability here, where a woman pulled the trigger, I’m not sure it is going to translate to all the shootings where white men are pulling the trigger. I hope so, but I’m…

Yeah. I have no idea what “constitutional rights” of police officers they are talking about. You are performing a public job while wearing a body camera. You have no constitutional right to privacy in that video.

Nobody reported it. The police have no report. You probably wrote your comment prior to the update.

I don’t think you need to worry about white people’s feelings at all when discussing violent protests. My understanding is that black people’s businesses, homes, and cars are just as likely (if not more, depending on the neighborhood) to be destroyed. I understand that there is certainly more publicity when there is…

If I saw someone wearing the one on the right, I would assume they had broken their foot. It looks like a walking cast.

Bingo.

They probably will in exchange for the plaintiffs’ agreement not to appeal so it all goes away. That’s generally the reason people seek fees like this - as a bargaining tool for settling an appeal.

A generous settlement offer that they made knowing that they were likely going to win the case given the state court ruling. Don’t tell me that they are heartless. That settlement offer was based upon nothing more than goodwill.
