You say potato, I say potato.It's not police. It's a mafia.
She's a liberal.. infact she's a hardcore lefty.

Maybe she's got a point..
Use that point to subsidize our lifestyle!
We also can't trust the state to not misuse it, or to not use it on people who weren't actually guilty of the crime with with they were charged. Kind of a problem.Who is this person?
Anyway, hardcore leftists have historically been quite keen on the death penalty - every communist state has had it. Heck, in the early days of the Bolshevik takeover, the Red side behaved like wishy-washy liberals and released captured White generals on parole, only to find they went back to their armies and resumed fighting against them. The Commies took a while to wise up and start shooting the blighters.
I'm a bit ambivalent, myself. I don't have any absolute fundamental 'life is sacred' objection to it, because I'm not a Christian (weird, though, how so many American 'Christians' are actually strongly in favour of it, the opposite of what I would expect from a Christian). I just think in practice it tends to be employed in a very biased manner, and sends the wrong message to society, and doesn't have the deterrent effect that its supposed to. Hence in practice I'm mostly against it. But that doesn't mean I don't find myself thinking there are people who deserve to get it.

People have been banging that "have pay-per-view executions" drum since the 90s at least. I'm pretty sure this would in fact make every issue around the death penalty worse.

Seems like a non sequitur?There are lessons from history that you can't vote out fascists.
It takes a revolution.

That's some seriously dumb shit. Like, give a citation or warning or something. I get that fire codes exist for a reason. But this is a serious misapplication of the law.Pastor charged with violating fire safety codes for letting homeless people sleep in his church overnight
A pastor in Ohio has been criminally charged for violating safety codes while letting people sleep in his church overnight.www.wistv.com
I guess we're in a country where real christians are under assault by FAKE christians in power!
Maybe Madison Cawthorne had a point about the Fake Christians and their orgies on capitol hill?
No surprise to me, during hurricane Harvey our Church was feeding/clothing/sheltering victims and we were informed that if we allowed any of them to sleep in our Church we'd be cited since we were not an "approved" emergency shelter. Same thing that so many have found out in North Carolina. It's a multi-billion $ business providing shelter for people.That's some seriously dumb shit. Like, give a citation or warning or something.

We were right!!!I personally think it's your last paragraph.
Yup, FAA cleared them. Why the Biden Administration couldn’t just put out a coherent press release to that effect instead of letting speculation/conspiracies run rampant is just beyond me. Just another example of Dems losing the messaging war.So this whole MD/NJ/NY drone thing…I have some thoughts.
Earlier, when drones were reported over several military bases and proving grounds, I was convinced that these drones were a form of foreign espionage/counterintelligence—probably related to China or Russia.
But now—I’m more and more convinced that the federal government saying “no big deal” means that these drones are an inside job—I think the US military and associated contractors are testing new equipment and accidentally let the cat out of the bag without having any talking points or PR strategy.
Another possibility—some private outfit is testing some newfangled drone taxi thingy and they got FAA clearance—and the government doesn’t want to admit that someone fucked up and let them fly where they shouldn’t have.
It's really a mystery to me, what communication gaff by the Biden admin caused this ridiculousness, considering the fad today of making conspiracies about any BS.We were right!!!

Gotta give credit to Trump’s WHPS where it’s due.
White House says most New Jersey drones were authorized by FAA: 'This was not the enemy'
Residents in New Jersey were concerned over the large amount of mysterious drones that flew above their homes, sparking conspiracy theories about the source.www.nbcnews.com
Honestly? It was probably something classified and they wanted to get the operation done with before anyone could get there to start snooping around. The US has used conspiracies as cover for shit for like a century.It's really a mystery to me, what communication gaff by the Biden admin caused this ridiculousness, considering the fad today of making conspiracies about any BS.
What they are doing LIDAR surveys, because they found that an ancient alien civilization use to exist in NO NJ?Honestly?

On a drone? Naw. Far more likely to be testing AI-backed target tracking in a populated urban environment.What they are doing LIDAR surveys, because they found that an ancient alien civilization use to exist in NO NJ?
They use drones all the time for LIDAR surveys now. That's why we know that the Mayan's had bigger cities than Egypt at one time.On a drone? Naw. Far more likely to be testing AI-backed target tracking in a populated urban environment.
I assumed they were big ones though, weren't these smaller quadcopters and shit?They use drones all the time for LIDAR surveys now. That's why we know that the Mayan's had bigger cities than Egypt at one time.
Well of course, even the small LIDAR units are a fairly large load.I assumed they were big ones though, weren't these smaller quadcopters and shit?
