The document noted that Meyer had previously undergone mental health treatment and has been diagnosed with conditions including autism spectrum disorder and major depressive disorder
The document noted that Meyer had previously undergone mental health treatment and has been diagnosed with […] mental health conditions. […]
Oh; so he was not only disabled but…
Soon after he turned 18 in November, Meyer began communicating online with someone he thought was an Islamic State facilitator but was actually a paid FBI informant, the document said. The following month, that person introduced Meyer to another informant who claimed to be an Islamic State travel facilitator, who met with Meyer three times to talk about his plan to pay and prepare for traveling to join the Islamic State.
Where does it say he is disabled? I have adhd and bipolar, I’m not disabled, and it never occurred to me to join ISIS. My husband is autistic, and he never wanted to join a terrorist organization.
Edit: He said he’d build a fertilizer bomb in the US if he couldn’t go to the Middle East. Not defensible, IMO.
Asking in case I’m wrong: isn’t it only entrapment if the defendant wouldn’t have pursued the illegal action without the law enforcement playing a part? We can’t be sure from the details given, but by my understanding this would not qualify for entrapment if the accused sought out a contact with the Islamic State, but was funneled to the FBI agent instead, and they already expressed intent to join.
The US has 1.2M incarcerated people. Around 6000 prisoners die in prison every year which gives prisoners a substantially lower mortality rate that the overall population.
Except that’s not why this is a crime. You can do that all day everyday. This is a crime because of his intent to fight for what’s in effect a hostile foreign terrorist organization.
Why don’t we just let him go and not let him back (or arrest him when he gets back if he is a US citizen)? If he wants to get killed in Iraq why are we stopping him?
According to his arrest affidavit, law enforcement began investigating him in June 2022 when someone who knew him contacted the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The person said they were concerned because, after following white supremacist ideology, Meyer, then 17, had turned to Islam and was frequently watching and listening to “radical Islamic sermons online.” The FBI was notified by the sheriff’s office, it said.
Notice the overlap and contradictory ideologies. It’s often not even the specifics of what they are slinging, it’s the group. Being accepted, celebrated, getting to be part of a social scene, that is a common motivation for these societal outliers.
Isis has done an excellent job with their PR campaign. Their videos are all in 4k and high quality, of course it appeals to a disenfranchised young man that probably doesn’t feel like he has anywhere to turn.
What’s sad is it seems to have worked but isis all but doesn’t exist anymore, it’s just left over shit from their height. I bet he just googled how to join isis and was directed straight to the fbi lol.
Yeah, but my point is obviously that In-N-Out doesn't have paid leave and is eliminating one of the few effective protections employees have to prevent the spread of disease.
And it’s ultimately an issue not even worth getting worked up over because I’d be willing to bet about 99% of In-N-Out employees never wear masks even when they’re knowingly sick.
Vacation is earned on an accrual basis and can be taken after 90 calendar days of employment. Full-time Associates also accrue sick time at the rate of 6 days per year.
Agreed. It’s completely stupid. I’d much rather stay waiting at the gate lounge over sitting on the plane in a queue. I don’t care if it’s “less efficient,” the lounge is at least more comfortable than the stifling conditions of economy class on modern planes.
As a side note, there were babies on that plane in those temperatures for that long!? You literally go to jail for leaving babies in a car in the summer because at those temps for too long will legit kill babies. No wonder all of the babies were screaming on that plane.
I think the problem is about slot management and the way they work.
In ATC, at least in Europe but FAA is probably more or less the same, your flight can get delayed for whatever reason (meteo, atc capacity, airport etc…).
In case of a delay you get a SAM, slot allocation message with a new EOBT (estimated off block time). You can shorten this waiting time by various means, you will get an SRM (slot revision) and in order to be certain that you won’t miss this slot (or get a new worst one) you have to send a ready message.
Ready means door closed, ready for pushback. And that’s the problem here, that’s how you get stuck in an airplane on the ground, cause you’re « ready ».
That sucks, but a crew will generally not board a plane if they have a huge non negociable slot. But if they think the slot could improve so they can stick to their schedule, you’ll probably end up waiting in a shitty overcrowded cabin.
And sometimes it’s the airport doing shit like pre boarding a plane so they can pack passengers for another flight at the gate.
Wow, the more I write about how the industry work, the more I hate it. Time to change career.
Also says a LOT about the how the “justice” system works that cruelty is just fine as long as it’s not unusual, even if that usual cruelty is literal torture.
I truly don’t understand why most of my fellow Texans feel that way. I’d be much more interested in a system that takes efforts to honestly rehabilitate folks, rather than simply punish them for wrongdoing.
Officials say Pvt. 2nd Class Travis King has been a calvary scout with the U.S. Army since January 2021.
The 23-year-old had been stationed in South Korea, but had recently been held in a prison there on charges of assault, the AP reported. While it is unclear how long he’d been incarcerated, according to CBS News, King was released to U.S. officials at the military hub in the country about a week ago.
That’s not just unusual, he must have put in a lot of effort, if you can perform basic tasks they often promote you to pfc right after boot, or at least 6-12 mo later.
Being a pv2 at his age? He sounds like kung-pao way of the fist where they trained him wrong on purpose because it’s funny and now he’s the norks’ problem.
