That's an interesting one! I have heard (somewhere on dz.com years ago) of a hook knife becoming unsecured, flying up on opening, and cutting a line.

Oh, but we do. All too well.

It's easy to be that certain sitting at home after the fact. Unfortunately that's not how reality works.

Of course, crimes are never discovered unless police are actively looking for them. Makes sense, in an Alice in Wonderland kind of way.

How many major crimes do the cops find by being out on the street vs what is reported to them? The crimes referred to in the article are "murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny, and grand theft auto". Like, if my car was nicked or my house was burgled I wouldn't go looking for a cop on the street then give up on reporting the crime if I couldn't physically find one. There are these things called telephones nowadays.

I'll admit i never watched the video posted by Ron as the usual proof of facts that Ron submits are way, way out there. I did read the title of the video in the link. So here is Scientific American and its response to the BS defamation of Floyd the victim in order to deflect blame, deflect liability. George Floyd's Autopsy and the Structural Gaslighting of America first off the story is a lie. There was no weed, fentanyl or meth in his system, period. Numerous versions of his autopsy have been released. NONE has found these drugs in his system. Hypertension and heart disease were found as contributing factors. Both of those contributing factors are irrelevant to the proximate cause of death.

This is kind of like saying that while the police might have been wrong, at least they were wrong with someone you can say was a bad dude (does that mean he "needed killin'?"). We judge people in the courts, according to the same rules for everyone. Every fucking one of us, even if they're wearing a hoodie, or baggy pants (yeah, they look stupid to me, too), a gimme cap with a rebel flag, a suit, jeans, or a hijab. Wendy P.

Return of the paranoid style Fake news is fooling more conservatives than liberals. Why? https://www.economist.com/international/2020/06/04/fake-news-is-fooling-more-conservatives-than-liberals-why

"In a president, character is everything. A president doesn't have to be brilliant; Harry Truman wasn't brilliant, and he helped save Western Europe from Stalin. He doesn't have to be clever; you can hire clever. White Houses are always full of quick-witted people with ready advice on how to flip a senator or implement a strategy. You can hire pragmatic, and you can buy and bring in policy wonks. "But you can't buy courage and decency, you can't rent a strong moral sense. A president must bring those things with him. If he does, they will give meaning and animation to the great practical requirement of the presidency." Peggy Noonan, speechwriter for Ronald Reagan.

Ignorance outweighs reason.
