lmao, called it! As soon as they announced the "interview", I said
letting tv cameras you don't control show the nation see how fat, sallow, and stressed you look, or hearing the dementia-and-pill addled word salad come out of your mouth.
I wouldn't be surprised if they pre-recorded it, either.
He had bump stocks, the official investigation never determined whether or not he used them or if any of the rifles were illegally modified to be actual machine guns.
The official investigation also never really turned up a motive, and if he was suicidal and wanted to take the maximum number of people with him, he had his own plane, so…
There’s a lot of unanswered questions, even after the investigation was completed. A FOIA request showed that the ATF was prohibited from inspecting any of the guns to check for full auto modifications. It was a deliberate choice by investigators to not determine anything pertaining to the function of any given weapon.
The simplest and most likely answer is that they didn’t want to know. If they can say “he had bumpstocks” they had reason to ignore the fact that bumpstocks are 100% legal and ban them anyway without legislation. If they had found out that he genuinely modified them to be real machine guns, which are already banned by legislation, then they wouldn’t have their justification for going outside the law. There might be another answer but this is the one that feels the least like a conspiracy theory. It took a FOIA request for them to even admit that they were prohibited from inspecting any of the weapons used.
It’s pretty obvious he did but the extremely high rate of fire. You’d have to be nuts to think he brought them but decided his finger had had enough of a work out to be able to for rapidly for an extended period of time. It’s not like he needed precision since he was firing into a giant crowd
Weed probably hurt more than the coke in this case. Power lines are extremely difficult to see from above, instead of looking for them against the background of the sky, where they stand out, you’re looking for them against the background of the ground.
They blend right the fuck in. You have to look for the poles, and you have to be sharp about it.
Compound that with the fact that the balloonist wouldn’t be that low if he wasn’t trying to land, probably because he’s starting to run low on fuel, or the potential spots in his direction of travel just look worse and worse. Roadways are good spots, generally, but the power lines frequently associated with them are a well-known issue.
Pilots should be sober though. Stone sober. While 99% of your flights may be dull and boring, the balloon goes where the wind blows it, so you never know if today might be that 1%.
If you are the party of denying people waiting water, you might want to consider that you are the badie… Oh who am I kidding Republicans are too stupid for that kind of reflection
Depending on how you define late, some might say it is already too late.
The really unfortunate thing is, that even if we act now, it only affects the future… and for some that’s “too far away”. But these things take time… like it took time to arrange at the point we are today.
“The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon,” Roskosmos said in a statement.
It has ceased to exist, it is bereft of life! This is an ex-apparatus!
they received a letter from New Delhi police on Sunday morning telling them to end the meeting since it did not have the proper permission in a high-security zone, according to Kavita Kabeer, a spokesperson for the group.
Duh. What else did they expect? You can’t organise something this big in a high-security zone without proper permissions and security, that’s just common sense.
So someone at the newspaper obtained a driving record from state computers, possibly illegally. And someone at the newspaper threatened to publish a story about it.
Doesn’t seem like enough to tear apart the whole organization but I’m no lawyer.
ETA: Corrected above, not an officer, a restaurant owner. Athos78 and teft explain it pretty well in the replies.
The newspaper received a tip about a local business owner saying the business owner had been driving without a license.
The paper didn’t publish said info but they verified the info in a state website which is perfectly legal. The newspaper also reached out to the cops saying they had received this info.
At no point was anything illegal done until the cops illegally raided a newspaper.
One correction: The driving record was for a restaurant owner, not a police officer.
The whole thing is shitty. The restaurant owner had a DUI years ago, which she was hiding because she really wanted her restaurant to get a (very lucrative) alcohol license. She was also repeatedly driving on a suspended license due to the DUI, something that the the local cops knew and completely ignored. Possibly because the DA's brother owns the hotel the restaurant is in, and once they have an alcohol license he can raise the rent, maybe by an indecent amount. Oh, and multiple people have alleged that the police chief left his previous paid-twice-as-much job in Kansas City due to multiple serious accusations of sexual assault.
The Marion Record had investigated both the DUI and the sexual assault allegations, but had decided not to print either story due to journalistic concerns (they suspected the divorcing husband may have illegally accessed his wife's accounts to send them copies of the DUI information, and none of the people bringing up the police chief's alleged history would go on the record and the KC police personnel department wouldn't give any information either).
Some locals says that the Record is "too aggressive" in it's reporting, while others think that revealing this kind of thing is what newspapers are supposed to do. And in the meantime, the restaurant owner has gotten her liquor license, the hotel owner can (presumably) raise the rent, and the police chief got to keep the newspaper's computers for five days - including (just ever-so-conveniently) the computer that contained the information the paper had on the people who were saying the police chief had left because of the sexual assault allegations. But I'm sure he never tried to find that information in the five days they had the computers because that would've been unethical, wouldn't it ....
