Comment Re:This just in (Score 1) 1017

Here in the real world, a nearby city, the state arrested forty-three adults on 29,726 charges of child sex abuse. After all the smoke cleared, and it was found out to be a box hoax. The state had to pay millions of dollars in the end for the mistakes.

Sane government people started that shitstorm called the Wenatchee sex ring, which was all fake.

This isn't an isolated occurrence on fake sex charges.

The editor cliques in wikipedia are pretty bad. Wikipedia can have every detail of a cartoon character but try to create an article on something non-mainstream or of a smaller focus group and it gets killed quickly by the "not popular" enough rule...

Really ticks me off, is only current news is allowed. You add a famous event earlier than the 80's and the editors think it never happened, and it gets removed.

Its like the only historical articles allowed are from history books. Last I checked a lot more things happened than the shooting of Lincoln. /sigh

I really hate that people parrot that the "Right to Movement" isn't a right. Just because the USA now claims its a privilege doesn't mean its morally correct, just means that current US Law interprets as thus.

It was a right for people to travel by horse, but now that the car is standard, its now a privilege. Makes no damn sense. You cant walk anywhere, roads and highways block interstate travel.

I just wish people examined the rights and laws and how they were used against the people. Take a look at the Mann Act still in effect today, and its all about morals not safety.

So many bad laws weaken the rights of the people...

More like if the PC manufacturer banned all microsoft products from being installed on the platform for no technical reason.

Kinda like if Microsoft banned valve products from running on windows, but allowed EA and Ubisoft. Its restraint of trade, and illegal, or least is sounds like it to my armchair lawyer wikipedia.

It is now, enough press, it hit the BBC then MNBC Then the others. Reuters is pushing it pretty hard, due to them wanting this video for awhile and was denied its FOIA to get the video.

Killing journalists and hiding was a major fuck up for the military, and I expect some token guy to fall on the sword.

I've seen the video, people with ak47's could be classified as security protection, they didnt know who these people are, made no attempt to classify these people. And standing in the middle isnt entrenched or ready to ambush.

Also, I bet much worse stuff happens we never get to see. And we wont know until years after the war.

Exactly, courts can bar evidence and approve your defense. With that, its hard to see how anyone gets a fair trial.

Oh wait, they dont. The federal government does this on all marijuana cases. You can be legal under state, so your permit to grow pot isnt allowed in court, your plea of innocent, isnt allowed in court.

Thats why people plea bargain, you cant defend yourself, might as well take the offer they give you, or face 25+ years to life.

Just imagine if the rest of the city budget was transparent, there is tons of waste, but its hidden in budgets. I'm amazed this came to light.

Try to find out how much is lost lawsuits, overtime, overruns, etc. its a fiasco, yet we will never know. Seattle has been hiding lawsuits from police deaths for awhile. I wonder how much New York pays for wrongful damages? Its outrageous that people say we need more taxes, when they cant even provide an accounting for the money is going in our budgets...

One of the reasons people want audits and accountability, our banks cant even do it, what makes you think a city can?

Stumbled on an old TV show called, northwest backroads, showing cool places around the northwest. They keep saying "for more information go to the website" which is no longer up.....
