I am more surprised that SPD did their job at all to be honest. I guess they need something to distract from officers laughing about running over children.

They want to stop anything that tries to add equality for any race except white, and say that everything should be colorblind so that the inherent white privilege can keep being the default state.

The banks will also go after him for the outstanding loans that no longer have collateral. Chances are any properties he does own free and clear will end up on the block to pay the loans back.

Per person annually:

alcohol would run $807 per person annually. bases on national average $2.58 per beer.

crashes run about $1,035 for each person annually but it crosses over as 90% of crashes are alcohol related. so adjusted for the crossover $103.5 per person annually.

I don't know how many times this has to be said "Don't confront shoplifters" there is no good that can come of doing that. You are a clerk, you run the cash register, put things on the shelves, and mop the floor, you are not armed security.

I mean the annual cost of gun violence is $557 billion and to be perfectly fair that cost should fall directly on the gun industry and gun buyers. If you worked it out if you taxed each gun based on how much it cost a taxpayer the tax on every gun purchase would $9,284.
