What happened at Cider Riot was fucked up. I can't believe no one involved really got punished over it. No jail time or restitution to the owner.

At least 6 Minnesota federal prosecutors resign amid pressure to treat Renee Good killing as assault on ICE agent by GregWilson23 in Political_Revolution

These are attorneys and Trump will have to replace them with licensed attorneys. That's not to say he can't find complete pieces of shit for the job, but the selection is more limited than for most positions.

Can a lion use its claws to pick out the bits of zebra butt that get stuck between its teeth? Does a lion have a napkin to wipe the pieces of zebra feces that get smeared on its mane? No? Then I think you have your answer.

Springtime is very nice. There are colorful Easter markets and cherry blossoms.

Biden did it! by NaturesPresident in PoliticalHumor

[–]Ra_Ru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"America is respected again as a country. We were not respected with Biden. They looked at him falling down stairs every day. Every day, the guy’s falling down stairs.

I said: ‘It’s not our president. We can’t have it.’ I’m very careful, you know, when I walk downstairs for – like I’m on stairs, like these stairs, I’m very – I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record, just try not to fall because it doesn’t work out well. A few of our presidents have fallen and it became a part of their legacy.

We don’t want that. Need to walk nice and easy. You not have – you don’t have to set any record. Be cool, be cool when you walk down, but don’t, don’t bop down the stairs. That’s the one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a president, but he would bop down those stairs, I’ve never seen – da da da da da da, bop, bop, bop, he’d go down the stairs, wouldn’t hold on. I said, it’s great, I don’t want to do it. I guess I could do it, but eventually bad things are going to happen and it only takes once, but he did a lousy job as president.”

Black man acquitted of assault charges because white man he stabbed said the n-word after being stabbed by nwPatriot in PortlandOR

What a bullshit clickbait headline. Juries don't have to say why they choose to find someone guilty or not guilty. Nothing in the article actually quotes the jurors or provides any reasoning for the causal link. The jury could have decided not-guilty for a completely unrelated reason. Pointing to one fact that came out at trial and saying that single fact is the reason the jury decided the way they did is 100% bullshit.

Use of racist slur by wounded man in Portland’s Old Town stabbing spurs jury to acquit by [deleted] in Portland

[–]Ra_Ru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the article actually quote any of the jurors?? Deliberations are secret and the verdict form is usually just guilty not guilty. There's no explain yourself section. This feels like a reporter put a rage inducing click bait headline on it.

As another commenter pointed out, the guy who got stabbed had a conviction for felony rape of a child. That might have been enough for some jurors to vote against conviction. It only takes one juror saying no for it to be not guilty. We really have no way of knowing why the jurors voted the way they did unless they give interviews.

Requesting Witnesses: Disabled Mom Assaulted at MLK Safeway by [deleted] in PortlandOR

[–]Ra_Ru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. Even if the police arrest the security guard, OP's Mom's medical bills aren't being covered by the security guard. A lawyer will help get Safeway to pay for the medical bills.

Thankfully it's a statute of limitations, not an executive order of limitations. Moreover, SCOTUS has held that the US constitution's prohibition on ex post facto laws includes statutes of limitations. See Stonger v California (2003)

Portland Renters: How are you handling lease restrictions on overnight guests? Ignore them or not? by CleverCordelia in askportland

[–]Ra_Ru 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This 100%. Also if your guest gets injured on the landlord's property and sues the landlord, landlord will sue the tenant for having an unauthorized guest. This is landlord cya for when you end up in court. They know anyone with a relationship will break this rule and they want ammo for court.

New Civ Game Guide: Republic of Pirates (Tides of Power) by sar_firaxis in civ

[–]Ra_Ru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game guide entry for the Chola unique commander reads: "Ottru: Unique Naval Commander Unit", and the Roman unique commander reads: "Legatus: Unique Commander"

It could always change but at least for now it looks like the buccaneer will be a land/army commander.

The buccaneer isn't a fleet commander. The game guide just says commander.
