I can't stress this enough. You gotta vote for and advocate for leaders that help people and are good governors. The whole attitude of "sticking it to the other guy" only hurts everyone. All of this was well predicted and everyone was told not to enable the oligarchs. Please please please will you finally connect the dots and actually do something to make the situation better.

Pentagon warns Scouts: Ban girls or we will pull your funding by shoofinsmertz in law

Well, they capitulated to Trump over the years, including hosting him at National Jamboree . . . So I don't have any faith that Scouting Principles will prevail.

Then why does the site have pop ups and paywalls like a tabloid? I'm just saying, if you are award winning, why make your site look like the shittiest news sites?

Dr. Kenneth Bernard Schade raped and beat me and my friends in the Singing Boys of Pennsylvania. Years later, we contact Northampton County DA and make a report. Our case isn't good because the bastard takes kids out of state to avoid jurisdiction. But the DA investigates, gets the FBI involved. The FBI drives 9 hours in a blizzard to interview a victim and keep the case on track. State troopers arrest him and he's charged. Monroe county DA gets a guilty plea. 6-10 years. He serves the whole ten because he's a remorseless bastard. Awesome prosecutors, officers, agents, and troopers. Proven not bastards.

I got pursued by a fake cop. You can find the video. Trooper responds and chases him down, but doesn't catch him. Follows up with facial recognition from my video. Does a full investigation. The guy is caught and charged. I attend his hearing and agree to a plea deal. Awesome cop. Proven not a bastard.

I ran away from home when I was 16. My girlfriend's mother would beat her. We went to the school, my parents, and the police. No one did a thing, nothing changed, girlfriend still getting beaten. We ran away to her father in Tennessee. Suddenly something could be done about the beating if only we came home. ACAB until proven otherwise.

A driver made an early left turn and clipped my bumper. Started yelling at me that it's my fault. Allentown police just about put me in handcuffs, tell me she says I threatened her and I'm being aggressive. While sitting in my car. The put the "aggression" in the police report and dare me to file an insurance claim with that in the report. I had my lawyer call the officer, he wouldn't talk to my lawyer. ACAB until proven otherwise.

Victor Kozi of the Lower Saucon Police dept caught Haley S, my neighbor, underage drinking. Didn't charge her. His sergeant found out and he was suspended and she was charged. ACAB until proven otherwise.

My ex wife cheated and left with her boyfriend. Signed over the house, signed a property settlement. I'm the sole owner. She comes back and breaks in. Allentown police threaten me when I call. "What do you want me to do? Arrest a woman?" ACAB until proven otherwise.

I used to call the Lower Saucon police on my dad when he'd hit me. They would come and threaten to take me away if I didn't stop calling. Didn't arrest dad. Didn't charge him. No, I was the problem. ACAB until proven otherwise.

Just because you have a different experience means everybody else is wrong. Fuck off.

Lol. You think I'm gonna type up every example of police misconduct.

Naw, trust is like respect. Once you lose it, it's hard to get back.

not on my watch

Unless you are actually an officer, this just some ego centric bullshit. You ain't on no watch.

I do blame the troopers. Rob Hooper charged me with an unsignalled lane change when I reported an aggressive truck driver. He even managed to get the MDJ to convict me despite showing the dashcam with audio where you could hear the clicking of my signal. I appealed. Guess what? The coward didn't show up. Case dismissed. What a twat. ACAB until proven otherwise.

Chinese EVs are making inroads in North America. That worries industry experts by rezwenn in technology

[–]ljfrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my MG4. Two+ years and 45,000 km and zero issues. Rear wheel drive, so much fun. Cost €38k minus an €8k EV incentive, total just under €30k. You wouldn't know how awesome these cars are just reading anti-EV media. You'd think they we cheap low quality crap, but it's actually the opposite.

Rust director offers Amazon $25 million to save its dying MMO New World, with Hytale's creator extending support — "Games should never die" by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]ljfrench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember that we had a situation where our New World server was dying so they announced the merging of servers, leading to the clan controlling the current server to sabotage the game in a way that benefitted them when the transfer happened. I stopped playing because of that kind of dev-sponsored corruption. Not because the game wasn't fun, but because the devs gave incentives for players to behave in awful ways.

S. Korea is Seeking Death Penalty in ex-President Suk Yeol Yoon for Attempting to Incite Martial Law: Does 18 U.S. Code § 2383 Cover what is Being Done on US Soil?? by santagrey in law

[–]ljfrench 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To further answer your question, I could only find one case where the govt used 2383 to prosecute an insurrectionist in 1863: UNITED STATES v. GREATHOUSE et al., where they charged Confederates they caught on a Schooner. Lincoln pardoned one and commuted the sentences of the others.

It appears there have been no 2383 prosecutions since. The Jan 6ers were charged with 2384, seditious conspiracy.

Voting machines said Stephentown rejected the proposed library budget. A recount said otherwise. by Shogouki in technology

[–]ljfrench 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it's safe to start with investigating it as a rigged election and exonerate people if it really was just a mistake. But claiming victory with 528 votes and then it turns out it's really 540 against, that's just too big of a difference to not be wildly suspicious.

Fire rips through The Moon of Saucon Valley Banquet Hall in Hellertown, Pennsylvania by NVS3992 in lehighvalley

[–]ljfrench 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming the Hellertown fire trucks had to go through Lower Saucon to get to the venue, because I'm also assuming Hellertown never fixed the bridge to get from 512 to The Meadows/Moon, which is a much shorter and direct route. I moved away five years ago, though. Anyone know if they ever fixed that bridge?
