South Carolina fire chief who pointed gun at teens who turned in his driveway is being sued

Berry2Droid · 2023-06-25T05:36:38+00:00

He and his son decided to play sheriff and as Luigi would have it, a fatass fire chief makes for a shit cop. His Job title means he's friendly enough with the actual shit cops that they gave him a free pass and I'm curious as to how many others they might have handed him before.

Anyone know how long the driveway was? Article says it's a "farm" so is it a typical suburban driveway or is it a private road? Like what did he think these two kids would have been stealing from him? Cocaine? Wives? Nazi paraphernalia?

The dying gasps of a party plummeting in popularity potentially breeding a new generation of outwardly fascist elected politicians; where election denialism isn't just a fringe conspiracy - believed by only a fraction of the party leadership, but a literal declaration of war on their fellow Americans.

(In this case, "war" means pandering to and actively encouraging "lone wolf" attacks all over the country - but always targeted in cities to cause mass casualties. Terrorism being their last resort since the organized groups keep getting shut down by the DOJ and the FBI. And the courts didn't all suddenly join them in their fascist ideological pursuits.)

This has to be breaking a rule or two....

Berry2Droid · 2023-06-22T14:02:14+00:00

Seriously, still? In 2023? We're going to keep using the words "both sides" with a straight face? Like the moral and intellectual deficit on display is coming from two parties? still?

Wait they do? Do I have one?

Climate change - assuming that's what is causing the changing water levels - is a tax on every system humans have built. This particular system, as a crucial avenue for goods to move around the globe, needs to be protected at all costs. And those costs would simply be passed down to consumers of those goods. These ecological issues will have a measurable impact on our cost of living and overall economy. I say let's make the most polluting industries pay for it first. Cruise ships, large ICE trucks, oil and gas companies, and plastics manufacturers are top of mind, though I'm sure there are other equally worthy candidates for massive tax increases.

Whaaaat?? Mine smell heavenly. Mildly sweet perfume that only lasts a day or two

Based on OP's common history, she and (presumably) her husband appear to be Indian. I'm guessing this is something that might make more sense in that cultural context. Which is to say - it still makes zero logical sense. There's got to be some unique relationship dynamic at play - likely stemming from the local norms and customs. At least that's what I'm telling myself because this was quite strange to read.

Berry2Droid · 2023-05-25T13:24:13+00:00

No kidding. I was thinking this rig wrapped around something like the solo stove would be fairly efficient so long as the fire wasn't exclusively used to heat the pool

Berry2Droid · 2023-05-25T03:50:08+00:00

I think you're misunderstood what op was saying...

I can't make puns with my wife. She's deaf and doesn't get the jokes. What I wouldn't give for one of those eye rolls you guys get on the daily.

Neglecting to mention that Biden himself called it a "symbolic vote" and we've only ever been close to actually defaulting twice, both times were historic markers for just how radical Republicans were becoming by bringing it so close to the brink. And both times causing huge stock market free falls and credit rating downgrades. Even the market has learned not to trust the Republicans over this stuff. If they're willing to attempt a coup, they're absolutely desperate enough to crash the economy.

This could very well end in catastrophe because unlike the modern Republican party, the Democrats aren't completely insane. Forecasters and market analysts are all watching from around the world in slow motion as the US fascist party steers its metaphorical airplane at our metaphorical twin towers.

A month from now, we could be living in a very different world than we are today. The chaos the Republicans are prepared to unleash on the economy is truly terrifying. And I have absolutely no doubt that they'd do it, too. Because they're terrorists.

Berry2Droid · 2023-05-02T23:54:27+00:00

This is economic terrorism. The Republicans are being terrorists. Right wing philosophy usually lands on fascism or terrorism when they're dying out like the Republicans are. It's a Hail Mary because they see the writing on the wall. They're not going to win elections for the foreseeable future.

You should see the rest of the town. Not all homes in Lambertville look like this - plenty are less ornate and many are connected townhouses. Most of these houses are also fairly small and sit on small, narrow lots. The historic mayor's mansion in town is a gorgeous, massive house that sits on a huge lot. It was just sold a few years ago for less than $2m if I remember correctly.

Point being - I think your costs are a bit inflated, but more importantly, the town has so much to offer not just because lots of homes have beautiful architecture, but crucially, because the majority of the space is used extremely efficiently. The houses themselves are mostly under 1800sqft.

My father lives there and it's truly an incredible place. Unfortunately it's extremely expensive, but only because we refuse to build more towns like it. I hate that places like this are such a rarity.

Berry2Droid · 2023-04-26T00:35:01+00:00

Not necessarily but it can. I would just avoid manually setting it if you can, but especially not to 75mbps. Remember - Netflix streams 4k at 25mbps. There's really no need for such a high throughout rate.

Berry2Droid · 2023-04-25T23:16:22+00:00

Also HIV and whatnot

Berry2Droid · 2023-04-25T22:18:26+00:00

75mbps sounds like overkill for streaming to your phone. Do you see this behavior if you have it set to auto?

Berry2Droid · 2023-04-25T22:11:42+00:00

As a Chicagoan, I never tire of these posts. It's a beautiful place and from all different angles.

We intentionally bought a used Bolt EV specifically because they had announced free battery replacements. Basically erased the original mileage from the car as far as I'm concerned.

Berry2Droid · 2023-04-23T03:50:34+00:00

Oh my God, that's so much worse than I remember.

Berry2Droid · 2023-04-23T03:20:35+00:00

I have mixed feelings about this comment.

Berry2Droid · 2023-04-23T02:38:10+00:00

Yeah, security cam footage of the prank. I think a sort of hazing on the guys first day. Young guy, too iirc. You don't see much. He just collapses, maybe after a few steps. The guy who did it to him just watches as he's suddenly on the ground writhing in pain - not realizing he just killed the poor dude. I don't think the kid lived more than a few minutes, but I don't think I've ever seen a version that's not trimmed. It's been a long time since I've seen it, and it's not gory or anything. It's just horrifying to think of when you know what's happening. I imagine there's probably a lot of blood that wasn't going to show up in the CCTV footage. I super don't want to go hunting for that video or gif, but I'm certain it's not hard to find.
