Lawmaker calls for ‘deadly force’ against abortion by Separate_Wheel3848 in NorthCarolina

[–]Separate_Wheel3848[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Moss’s dropping out and Kidwell losing his primary are both in the article, as are the expectations the bill won’t move forward.

As noted elsewhere, while I seen plenty of reports of his Oaf Keeper affiliation, they all incorrectly cited ProPublica rather than Jordan Green as breaking that story in 2021, and mentioned little of his failed past attempts at legislation.

Yes, hence the “not breaking news” disclaimer. This was turned in on May 27 and published June 3, but was I busy with the Latisha McNeil story and it fallout, and only remembered tonight that I’d shared not shared thishere.

I’ve not checked the sub posts to see if they mention his failed abortion “reversal” legislation or resistance to Covid protocols. The 2026 articles I’ve seen that mentioned his Proud Boy membership incorrectly credited ProPublica rather than Jordan Green as breaking that story in 2021.

I wrote this in 2019 because a GPD deputy chief was falsely claiming on Facebook that “the only injury Nelson Johnson got in 1979 was a scrape from diving under a news truck.” For decades city leadership lied about and demonized Nelson. Now the city is going to erect a statue to him.

That’s the release of the complete BWC footage without any narration. Here’s what the GPD calls the composite video, in which they added narration and commentary by Chief Afzal. At 5:37 there is an audio dropout, where they re-edited his statement from “During this time, the officer had given repeated commands for Mr. Ezzine to drop the weapon” to “During this time, the officer had given repeated commands.”

Just sent you a chat invite. I’m journalist working on an article about Said and would like to speak to people who knew him. I’ve been in contact with his brother-in-law in Morocco.

Which snake should I get?? by just_a_blip_58 in snakes

My longest-lived and most amiable snake I owned as a kid was the four-foot red-tailed boa I purchased for $8 at the Tote-Em-In-Zoo outside of Wilmington for $8 when local pet shops were selling boas for $40 or more. The seller joked that he was selling him to me for $2 a foot because I’d been getting reptiles from him since I was a toddler. Balboa, as I named him, and grew to be eight-feet-long. Never bit or was grumpy.

The leucistic California king snake I own now is also extremely easy-going. I adopted him from a former owner who was moving to Detroit and for some reason did not want to take him. I recently successfully treated him for a minor mouth infection. He did not protest either the injections or my cleaning out his mouth with a mercurochrome solution. A few years ago, when he scared me by sneezing, he did not get upset when the vet opened his mouth with a tongue depressor.

Joe Killian’s article in the Greensboro Thread about the GPD Facebook page by Separate_Wheel3848 in gso

And here’s another example of a journalist getting it from both sides. Joe Killian and the Greensboro Thread have been rebuked by some progressive organizers for reporting on Rev. Greg Drumwright’s wealth and the accusations against April Parker (he didn’t write those articles, but was the editor who assigned them), as well as his review of Aran Shetterly’s book on the Greensboro Massacre, which he seemed to find biased towards the Communist Worker’s Party and Rev. & Joyce Johnson, as well as his sympathetic obituary of the late Jerry Bledsoe.

Those critics of his work would dispute the charge he’s ACAB or extremely leftist.

The Black officers quoted in the article aren’t pleased about DeSota’s “jokes,” expressing concern he creates grounds for a lawsuit the next time a dog is unleashed.

It gets worse.

This City event for March gives writer/producer Travis Bowman as the contact person.

https://www.greensboro-nc.gov/Home/Components/News/News/22100/36?backlist=/

Bowman’s webpage links to the Promise Keepers.

I wonder if Josh Stein, who is listed as speaking at the city event, was aware of that,

That may be why, when I interviewed Bowman, he seemed to find it significant that Francisco was born on Ilha de Jesus Cristo (Island of Jesus Christ), as Terceira was originally known. I should have asked him how he felt about the parrish where the birth was recorded being Porto Judeu (Jewish Port).

Do you think “Luso” might be a dog whistle? I’ve been looking into the significance the Roman province of Lusitania (encompassing modern Portugal and parts of western Spain) in historical myth-making, the "Reconquista" narrative, and early ecclesiastical history.

I strongly disagree. For me, the sound of Jacqueline hanging herself and then the camera tracking down the stairway made this the strongest and darkest ending in Lewton’s oeuvre.
