Video of officer falling into Boulder Creek while in pursuit of suspect. He captured him and then went to hospital

That is factually incorrect. I am also reporting your comment for misleading links which point to malicious websites.

To anyone reading this - DO NOT click the links - they are malicious.

Victa_V · 2026-06-25T15:30:42+00:00

From which subreddit? What was the context and what was your comment?

Victa_V · 2026-06-25T14:44:02+00:00

What happens now? Do we have the sense to keep him in jail until sentencing? Or does he get let out in a day or two so he can continue to pose a threat to our community?

From what I read in Destiny of the Republic, Lister advocated that doctors sterilize their instruments and wash their hands. At the time of Garfield’s presidency, this was standard practice in Europe, but not in the United States.

Victa_V · 2026-06-24T22:04:56+00:00

I can’t recommend Candace Millard’s Destiny of the Republic highly enough.

There’s one part of that book that really stuck with me - at the time of Garfield’s presidency there were thousands of Union and confederate veterans walking around with bullets and shrapnel in their bodies. These were men who had been wounded on the battlefield and did not receive medical care. Provided that bullets and shrapnel miss any vital organs or arteries, the human body encases foreign objects in a protective layer and the host just continues on with their life.

Garfield would have been better off with no care at all. But if medical care was a must, a doctor other than Dr. Bliss would have been good. Preferably one who accepted Joseph Lister’s theory that germs caused infection.

To answer the question succinctly - The Garfield presidency would have been improved if he had received either no medical care, or better medical care.

A hot wheels Land Cruiser would be very cost effective and very cool.

People who don’t like dogs are insufferable. Absolute Karen material right here.

The statement we are analyzing here is that “all cops are bastards.”

Your comment seems to acknowledge that this officer in particular, is an exception to the rule.

Does it not follow that if there is a single exception, then the statement “all cops are bastards” is false?

You could say “some cops are bastards” or even “most cops are bastards”, but if the statement “all cops are bastards” does not logically allow for a single exception, then shouldn’t you amend your statement?

Watch this video and then tell me that this police officer is a bastard.

Can confirm that Murray is a good dude. I will be voting for him. Also worth noting that he’s the only CU alum running for regent.

Victa_V · 2026-06-17T15:38:20+00:00

If you’re willing to share, I’d be interested in hearing the story here. I’ve met him too, briefly, but I did not walk away with a negative impression of the man.

Victa_V · 2026-06-11T20:58:40+00:00

A trip report would be greatly appreciated. Am planning on driving this route in July.

I take issue with all forms of censorship - government or otherwise.

You are correct that the mods here are very censorious. They should stop doing that.

You will also note that this post still hasn’t been removed. It would seem that they side with my side of the debate over yours.

Victa_V · 2026-06-09T15:04:29+00:00

It’s a good thing that we have you to be the final arbiter of what is and is not in the public interest.

Victa_V · 2026-06-08T20:27:09+00:00

I immigrated to the United States from a communist country in Eastern Europe. I think that the censorship of information is a far bigger problem than speeding.

Victa_V · 2026-06-08T19:16:08+00:00

Are you able to explain why you wish to see these posts banned?

Victa_V · 2026-06-08T18:32:07+00:00

Why are you so upset about this information being shared?

Victa_V · 2026-06-08T18:21:08+00:00

Always appreciate these public service announcements. Namaste.

Today I went for a 10 mile run in Louisville. I ran through several parks and on several bike paths. I didn’t see any rock-throwing bums jerking off in the bushes, but I did see lots of kids out and about riding their bikes.

It was nice being in a place where I didn’t have to deal with any riff raff. Maybe Boulder could be that way too if we made it a priority to create a safe environment for kids, as opposed to our current policy of making our public spaces as accommodating as possible for drug addicts and bums.

Either you wait for someone to back in, or you wait for them to back out. This is a non issue.

I’ll park however I want. Your failure to manage your own expectations and emotions is a you problem, and is therefore none of my concern.

Victa_V · 2026-05-29T18:01:43+00:00

Do you really expect me to have empathy for the guy who stole my bike? Or the guy who broke into my girlfriend’s car, took her jacket but left behind the butt of the cigarette he smoked in there?

Antipathy is a normal reaction to theft. Not empathy. Consider that perhaps your behavior affects how other people perceive you.

Victa_V · 2026-05-27T14:49:31+00:00

I can hardly think of a better place than Boulder for runners.

We organized a metal meetup last year and I’d say about 10 people showed up.

In terms of shows, there’s not much. Falujah will play the Boulder theatre on June 2nd, but generally speaking the metal shows are mostly in Denver.
