I used to be a proponent of the death penalty. Someone shoots up a school or is a serial rapist, they forfeit their right to live and are beyond rehabilitation
But the book “The Chamber” by John Grisham completely changed my mind. One of the only books to ever make me cry, I realized what an awful responsibility the state has when deciding what to do with the worst of the worst. It’s so easy to lean into retribution but I decided that day I don’t want to support legally sanctioned murder. I’d rather my tax dollars go into keeping prisoners alive than for them to be spent on taking lives for no other reason than blood lust.
Then of course you start digging into all the problems with criminal justice; innocent prisoners, corruption, racism… it’s wildly irresponsible to trust any justice system to be so infallible as to decide who lives and dies.
The legislative branch determines court jurisdiction. They could say that the DC Circuit will be the court of final appeal for any rules involving the supreme court
Was it really fake though? I mean, the President of the United States himself advocated for using bleach (“disinfectant”), surely that means it was a legitimate cure, right?
“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.”
Is slapping down unconstitutional laws that haven't been around very long really "expanding" 2a rights? It's not like these rulings are allowing me to mail order machine guns like people use to. If by expanding the mean restore rights, sure.
The rulings just allow people to continue to own things in common use or do things that are legal in a vast majority of states. Keep in mind some of the laws in California involve things like demanding firearms have tech in them that doesn't exist.
Tesla stock is +169% YTD and +10% 1Year. Netflix stock is also doing quite well in the same timeframes. Both are pushing up the NASDAQ pretty well despite their downturns today.
Now, with that said, Tesla stock is likely heavily overvalued. As the other car manufacturers catch up to Tesla, the stock will likely decline.
They made the biggest mistake a church can make, competing with big pharma. If you want to sell something, sell prayers or replicas of holy relics or literal snake oil, as long as you don’t call it a drug.
Like these faith nickels I have for sale. They can help with hair cancer, eyelid twitching, nasal shortage, rickets, crickets, tickets, clickits, boneitis, polywater intoxication, Bowden’s malady, space madness, subspace madness, liminal space madness, Baggy Trousers by Madness, rectal upcharge, and bacne. Side effects include irritable spouse syndrome, flavor packets, butterfly affect, scruples, time dilation, back knee, and the squorts. Of course, I have scruples, so I couldn’t possibly let these powerful faith nickels get out into the world for less than three easy payments of $49.95 plus s&h.
Hello! Your title might not match the title of the article you linked! Could you please double check, and edit your post title if it indeed does not match? article title: “The Gilgo Beach killings suspect’s wife has now filed for divorce” (Similairity: ~75%).
FLIP FLOP this action was performed semi-automatically by a bot (:
Well, nevermind, the Auto suggest was correct. Perhaps the title has been changed by CNN? Hopefully everyone can understand I haven’t maliciously altered it.
Implying that a house where the owners don’t own guns would have been the right one?
The reason burglars take guns in the US is because there’s a good chance they’ll run into owners with guns as well. So lots of people owning guns doesn’t prevent burglary, it just forces criminals to take guns as well.
Should people kindly ask the home invader to please vacate the area after their door gets smashed in? Maybe just hug it out?
I don't know about you but I lock my doors. I don't know what the fuck a stranger is trying to do in my house. They will be met with force if they forced their way in to violate my personal space and safety. Being unarmed or complying won't keep anyone but criminals safe.
That’s the argument me and the person I replied under are making. Adding more guns just increases the chance someone gets shot. If we gave everyone in the world a fully automatic ak47 that wouldn’t stop people from being desperate or just plain evil. Crimes would still happen and I bet that burglary would have ended with more than one person shot. Probably more than one person dead.
Yeah I don’t think we should just lie down and let everything get stolen from us but why do people fight so hard for more violence? I’d much rather be arguing over how to improve police response times. Providing affordable security systems. Making internal doors and walls more secure. Social programs so people don’t get to the point they need to rob people to get by.
This article is infuriating because fox news says we should all clap for this lucky family that got to almost got to watch one another bleed out. Guns should be a last resort and when a news source talks about them it should regret the fact that death had to be put on the table.
It's not about thief or stuff. If someone breaks in I don't know why they're there. I have no reason to assume they are only there for stuff or won't hurt people who get in their way. Giving them the benefit of the doubt make no sense when they're already breaking in and violating your home. As an example I wouldn't go out to stop someone from breaking into my car or open the door during some incident. But if the door get kicked in a person shouldn't expect a warm welcome.
I do not care if a criminal gets hurt during the course of crimes that violate people's homes and personal safety. Anyone has a right to stop such people with force. Self-defense isn't a crime and I really don't consider it a problem. The gun was not the first resort. There were presumably doors and locks. Maybe some yelling. The criminal choose to victimize someone and found out that goes poorly on occasion.
If you want to prevent violence prevent people from being in desperate situations and commiting crimes against people. Don't expect people to be accepting of home invasion.
