OMG, what did the Jaws ever do to you?

So, that's different from the chicken you buy in a supermarket how? Ooh! I know! It's not.

I'm not either. I'm just curious about the rest of the story. The linked article is pretty short on details. What charges were dropped? What charges weren't? Did the judge really say that animal torture is protected by the 1st Amendment? Seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened. Yeah, I want those details, too. Tried to find them, but can't via Google so far, and don't have the time to really dig deeply. But I really can't develop a firm opinion of what the judge did until I have those details. Sucky whuffo reporting, so far.

At the moment, you can see it (well, at least I can) in posts #4 & 5.

Some urban guerrilla you'd make. Wussburger.

Come on people, it ain't rocket surgery; You start your reply *after* the last "reply" tag! It gets screwed up when you reply to a "quote". Sticks your reply in the same box as the quote you're replying to. I pinged Meso over in the bug thread. He'll iron it out.

I'm sorry, but that's pathetic. You're admitting that you dredged up an old story to get a bash in because you've got nothing else. Have a problem with Obama's Syria policy? Criticize it. Unemployment? Say something about it. Starting a thread you know is BS is just trolling. Not an old story, rather a continuing one. Lame. Repent.

The new coding still needs some bugs worked out. For example, when replying to a "quote" (as opposed to a "reply"), your reply appears withing the same box as the quote. Fixee, please.

If, you're less wealthy, possibly yes: lack of extra income to invest after all the bills are paid. And even if you're frugal enough to have some left over to put into savings, you may not wish to risk the little bit of savings you have in the uncertainties of the market. ETA - I swear I started typing before John replied. (ETA#2 - ain't this new coding weird?)

>"In 2007, Curtis' ex-wife reported to the Booneville Police Department that CURTIS was extremely delusional, anti-government, and felt the government was spying on him with drones," I think we should invite him to join our gang here. He'd fit right in.

I think he was asking in light of your reference to Hanlon's Razor (and the definition thereof).

Judges make stupid and wrong decisions all the time. Wrongness alone is grounds for reversal on appeal; it's not grounds for either disbarment or impeachment.

Testify, Brother!

I certainly would have. You guys are such lightweights.

BTW, the news story you link in the OP was published 15 months ago, in January 2012, and there was another thread about in in here in July, 2011. Is there something new about this story?

The fact that you kick-off your OP that way shows clearly that you don't really care about the scofflaw issue, you just want to get in a cheap bash at liberals. Anyone can name-call, but it's pretty bush league.

you mean how? Yer a slave to yer technology.

I'm still pondering. In the grey zone right now.

I thought they all looked alike. Why do the rules keep changing?

One of these days you're gonna have an accident with all that posting you do while driving. And my wife complains that my haircut makes me look like I'm in the military. That said, one of the finest trial attorneys I've ever watched in a courtroom has a ponytail.

I've been around long enough to have observed that public education campaigns often do have some effect; generally some pretty good benefit for the cost.

That's a very cute language you've invented.

It's the invoice for my keyboard.

keeping in mind the fact that it was one of the victims that watched the guy drop a bag at his feet and told cops within hours who and where it was so that they knew where to look and who to look for, the cameras were useful for disseminating pictures to the public, but they don;t get all the credit for the speed of the investigation. FWIW, in some countries where bombings are a lot more common, everyone- not just LEOs, but ordinary citizens, are trained to consider any unattended bag, etc. in a public place as a potential bomb, and anyone they spot leaving a bag and walking away from it as a potential bomber. Americans aren't conditioned that way (yet). If we had been, then the instant one of those guys set his bag down and moved away from it, someone might have seen it and screamed-out a warning, causing everyone to make a big hole in the crowd and warn a cop. Might have helped save lives and limbs by getting people farther away from the blasts. Might even have resulted in immediate apprehension of a perp.
