Comment Something being missed (Score 1) 270

"officers alleging they had evidence he had tampered with in-flight systems on an earlier leg of his flight from Colorado to Chicago"

This I think is much more interesting than the tweet. (And not just because practically everything is more interesting than a tweet (including literal tweets from birds).)

Joking about tampering with an aircraft should not be taken lightly, though I'm leaning a bit to calling the FBI's response an over-reaction.

But *evidence* of an earlier crime is something else.

Unless the FBI just made that part up....

You want to give your money to the poor, go ahead; but why should that exempt you from paying your share of the rent?

The theory is that it's not quite the same as regular income because you didn't keep the money, or use it in any way that benefited you, and passed in on to the community at large.

Whether you think that theory is valid is a political question, and you may or may not agree with it. But it's not like the reasoning behind it is complicated.
