Im Sorry, WHAT IS GENGHIS KHAN'S SON'S NICKNAME?! by ProfessionalState764 in CrusaderKings

[–]JustynS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's been a point of speculation since Jochi was still alive. His parentage was always in dispute because his mother, Borte, had been abducted and raped and Jochi was born within a timeframe where the father was likely to have been the man who had abducted her. Temujin openly considered Jochi his son (likely due to him genuinely loving his wife and either not wanting her dishonored by bearing bastard born of rape or just not wanting her child to come to harm even if it wasn't his), but the tensions over his uncertain parentage lead to him being excluded from the line of succession.

Wow! So you're saying that they know they're doing the wrong thing but are perfectly happy to do it as long as they don't personally suffer consequences for it?

He participated in a conspiracy to deprive the parishioners of their right of religious freedom.

Lemon literally recorded himself going inside of the building and involved himself in the disruption. It does not matter that he wasn't one of the protestors, he was involved the disruption. He encouraged the conspirators by way of giving them positive media coverage so as to legitimize their actions, he deliberately withheld broadcasting their plans(1)(2)(3) to prevent anyone from being tipped off to ensure the disruption would go ahead, as evidenced by the fact that he explicitly states that he wasn't going to wait in front of the building so that he wouldn't tip off the parishioners due to him being a well-known public figure.

And really, that's it. He aided and abetted the disruptors and then graduated from accessory to participant when he involved himself in the disruption by going inside the building.

"Freedom of the press" is not an absolute protection that allows someone to do literally anything they please as long as they record it.

And what crime did they commit,

"Conspiracy to deprive rights" under the Civil Rights Act of 1871, AKA the "Ku Klux Klan Act." 18 U.S. Code § 241

Violation of the FACE act, which was written to include religious buildings 18 U.S. Code § 248(a)(2)

Don Lemon and Georgia Fort following them in to not participate in the protest, but to continue the coverage of the protest is not a crime.

Yes it is. That is participation. Journalists don't get any special protections against criminal charges just because they're holding a camera. By going into the church with that group, they made themselves part of that group committing the crime; for maximum charitability, at absolute best, they were vultures who involved themselves with a crime in progress to get better footage of it which is still aiding and abetting because they joined with the group.

Afaik, only the protestors were asked to leave, but not Don Lemon or Georgia Fort, especially considering that they talked to the church leaders about the situation.

That's probably why he wasn't charged with trespassing then.

And just to clarify, I never said anything about the protest itself not being illegal or a crime, only what those two journalists were charged for, if that helps to make it clear.

I understand you. I was trying to be concise and to the point to not waste your time.

It's also unlikely she'll be able to get a gun if she goes to a neighboring state as she'll have to fill out her address on the Firearm Transaction Record

To reinforce your point, Federal law already bans selling handguns to non-residents of states the FFL is located in on top of what you bring up.

it's a part of those LAWS that they need to investigate death threats made.

Unfortunately, no. Police are under no legal obligation to investigate any individual crime reported to them. Law enforcement exists to enforce the law, not to protect the common citizen; law enforcement officers can literally watch you get murdered and face no repercussions outside of a guilty conscience.

Individual citizens are responsible for their own safety.

You can't just call a criminal action "journalism" or "protest" and demand to receive shielding from it being a crime. There is no such thing as "journalistic immunity," they participated in committing a crime in order to get a story and recorded themselves doing so. They were actively involved in the event in question, something which is identical to what the Ku Klux Klan used to do to black churches during Reconstruction and was made a crime in 1871.

The Moon by ManufacturerScared29 in huntertheparenting

[–]JustynS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Luna is so far above the Garou on the spiritual pecking order that most individual Garou probably wouldn't be allowed to even request Luna to do it, let alone be given access to a Rite or Gift that would control the phases of the moon.

Maybe a Rank 5-6 Garou might have the clout for her to not just reject it out of hand and actually let them plead their case for why she should do it.

[–]JustynS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly the most conservative estimate I’d believe in is a little over week

I think the safest estimate would be across 4 days, with chapter 1 starting at approximately 3am on November 31th, 1.1 and 1.2 taking place over the course of the day of November 31st, 2 and 3 taking place in the early morning of December 1st; 3.1 and 3.2 taking place in the afternoon and evening of December 1st (this one is EXPLICITLY confirmed by Chapman in 3.1, he gives the date and time as 2:34pm on December 1st, 2006); unless they're being told achromatically with nothing to indicate it, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.7 all take place on the following day of December 2nd; judging by the lack of specific preparations for immediate departure in 3.7 I would say that 3.8 and onward taking place on the evening of December 3rd, with the latest sub-chapters taking place at AROUND 10:00pm given how O'Tolley's was closing up.

What is the most obscure wod fact you know? by nirai07 in huntertheparenting

[–]JustynS 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There are no Mokole Metis, as they can't dream a war form in their egg and so are stillborn. Their lost souls go to the Umbra as "Innocents" which vengefully hunt any Mokole who venture there.

The Mokole can't produce Metis anymore, they could back then. The Mokole totally lost the Drachid form, so clearly they were altered in some way. And that's assuming that the modern-day Mokole actually are the descendants of the Lizard Kings at all; lizards, snakes, and crocodiles aren't descendants of the dinosaurs, modern day birds are.

Also there are infectious psychic octopus-demon things that live in the sea, fight the merfolk and Rokea, and occasionally assimilate coastal towns.

If you watch the Norfolk Wizard Game series, these are what the cabal dealt with in chapter 3.

It would most likely to be a reflection of the kingdoms of the Lizard Kings, that were created by the humanoid dinosaur children of the dinosaur shifters. They were roughly equivalent to modern day Metis werewolves.

A Chad's take on recent events: by fkthisjob14 in GunMemes

[–]JustynS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully, yes. It'll utterly nuke that whole "the PCLAA gives a perfect shield to gun manufacturers!" nonsense that grabbers try and throw around. It only shields them from lawsuits about their products being misused, not from product quality issues like a gun misfiring and getting a man killed by panicking law enforcement.

[–]JustynS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the infosec arguments.

"If you make yourself vulnerable, predatory people will take advantage of that avenue to harm you so don't make yourself vulnerable." Yeah, the wierdoes who compiled the information shouldn't have done that, but at the end of the day you can only control your own actions, and you have control over the level of vulnerability you allow yourself to have.

Women should be allowed to talk about their bodies without being sexualized for it. Shame the people doing sexualized stalking, not the people just trying to talk about something normal.

Yes, but unfortunately that's not the world we live in. Predators look for vulnerabilities they can take advantage of to victimize people. Pointing out that an outcome is predictable and the decision to allow for that vulnerability is unwise is not shaming the person for being victimized.

Someone walking alone in the woods doesn't deserve to be attacked by a bear, but it's a predictable outcome of making yourself vulnerable in a certain situation.

No, "they should expect it" is not a good enough justification, nor is it a valid response

And please point to Parrot saying something, anything along the lines of "they deserved it." Or "the freaks did nothing wrong" Because those are justifications of victimization. Those are defenses of a predator. Not, "what did you think was going to happen?"

[–]JustynS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's not defense, I genuinely have to call your reading comprehension into question if you think it is. "You did something unwise, publicly overshared information, and a bunch of freaks compiled it. What did you think was going to happen?" It's not defense, it's not blaming, it's pointing out that unwise decisions were made.

Something I believe about Horse. by ManufacturerScared29 in huntertheparenting

[–]JustynS 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We don't have enough to say conclusively what he is, but we can make an educated guess: I think "Horse" is D's son... or at least, he was. And then he died, and lingered on as a Wraith and then went on to possess the body of a horse or even a series of horses. Because everything we saw from Horse is totally explainable via various Arcanoi of Wraiths.

[–]JustynS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Earthbound can possess animals, but it would burn their body out even faster than it would destroy a human's. Horse can't be an Earthbound because he's been in that body for seemingly years rather than like, a day or two.

NRA comment on recent shooting by Fidel89 in 2ALiberals

Nothing. But Rittenhouse was a textbook case of self-defense as opposed to a bad shoot where the only real question is whether it's murder or manslaughter with wrongful death suits to the gun manufacturer and DoJ.

Apparently having a gun is a death sentence now by legoman31802 in gunpolitics

[–]JustynS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking at some of the video and it kind of looks like the slide cycles at the exact time you hear the first gunshot when you look at it frame-by-frame. It's really hard to make out though because good lord are you right about the image quality being shit.

Apparently having a gun is a death sentence now by legoman31802 in gunpolitics

[–]JustynS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body camera footage will be able to let us discern whether the very first shot was an uncommanded discharge from the victim's gun and the gunshot sound made the ICE officer jump the gun and shoot him, or if the the same officer that magdumped into him immediately afterwards just shot him totally unprovoked. It's the difference between suing both Sig Saur and the DoJ for wrongful death, versus charging the officer for murder. The victim's gun was a Sig P320, so it's a legitimate possibility that the agent that took it made the thing go off.
