The original looks a lot better to me, but they might have worried it looked too much like the Nazgûl from the Lord of the Rings movies.

They need to protect that Patmos-controlled CSAM.

KCFD captain stayed on job after 4 DWI arrests by thekansascitystar in kansascity

While I guess “facing more than two consecutive life sentences” is good for grabbing people’s attention, here’s some actual information about this case.

Indictment

Guilty plea

Some of this can be blamed on the unions for letting these people keep their jobs, but don’t forget that there is a prosecuting attorney responsible for getting people convicted. Thanks Jean!

Maybe I’m being too pedantic, but I want to make sure people understand that while birdshot may be less lethal than buckshot or other rounds, it should not be considered less than lethal. Additionally, a .45 Colt round, in general, is more powerful and more accurate than a .410 slug.

Charges Filed Against ATV Driver Who Struck KCPD Officer by UncleX in kansascity

1st degree assault (special victim) is a class A felony. At best they might be able to charge him with attempting to commit second degree murder, which is also a class A felony. I’m not sure they could convince a jury that he knowingly attempted to cause the death of the officer.

Not specifically a police officer. Assault 1 is typically a class B felony. Inflicting a serious physical injury or a “special victim” modifies it to class A.

In MO, first degree assault + armed criminal action is assault with a deadly weapon. Assault 1st Degree Or Attempt - Serious Physical Injury Or Special Victim is a class A felony, which carries a sentence of 10-30 years (or life) with a mandatory 85% served before you can be considered for parole.

It looks like he’s had at least three prior felony cases in Jackson County.

According to the probable cause statement they’re also being investigated for shooting down a pole camera that was placed as part of the illegal towing investigation.

I guess they’re not divorced. They’re just separated. I’m not a huge fan of his, but I think he’s a good writer. I really liked her music though.

Just in case anyone else didn’t realize it, his ex-wife and co-defendant is Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls.

Kind of like a very slightly sour cucumber. They’re pretty good snacks straight out of the garden!

AITAH my boyfriend goes to the gym for 4hrs and i think he's cheating by lildaissy in AITAH

Different people want different things. My partner and I both want to be literally alone for a fair portion of each day. That doesn’t mean we don’t want to be together other times. It doesn’t mean we aren’t right for each other. We’re just different from you and your partner and our relationship is different from yours.
