They are right in a way. Black people breaking the law, getting arrested for it, then other black people bitching about it for being an injustice.

around here a black guy who was technically unarmed got shot by police and people went nuts about it, the thing is he had a fake gun he was using to rob people at gunpoint and he pointed it ***at the police*** when they showed up

like, there's a limit to what you can try to claim is injustice

Welcome to America, where you can sue because your coffee is hot

> Welcome to America, nanny police state

ftfy

The hot coffee incident was totally a justified case.

That women was horribly burned to the point her legs fused together, and all she asked of McDonalds was for her medical bills to be paid.

And they were purposefully heating their coffee to absurdly unsafe levels on purpose so that people wouldn't be able to drink it quickly and ask for refills before they left.

You absolutely can sue for utterly stupid shit, but that doesn't mean it's going to go in your favor. The slaphappy lawsuit-state of America is greatly overblown.

Now slapp suits are worth complaining about.

the real dumb ones are the lawsuits behind store employees not being allowed to stop shoplifters

because if the shoplifter injures themselves running away from an employee, they can sue the store and potentially win

ESPECIALLY if the employee also gets in trouble for shrinkage

potentially, also there's just the opportunity cost and actual cost of going to court in the first place

Oh, that's what you're talking about

I thought you were talking about dismissals due to people actually defending the stores they work at

That's mostly an issue with property rights. If you get injured, the people who's land your on can be held liable, even if you're trespassing

🤠 Having Castle Doctrine in TX is nice

it even applies to when you're in your car

YES! ANOTHER TEXAN!

`may have been personal`

fucking what

I'll pretend one of you is from Amarillo and the other is from Corpus Christi

new murder plan; wait for your target to rob your place of business with a gun, then shoot him

works every time, most of the time

Why those cities in particular?

no idea, but Waco's creepy

And Midland's boring

use the ol' dollar bill on a fishing pole trick

Nine, you sound rather familiar with Texas, too. You holding out on me?

speaking of creepy I recently found out that Galveston TX is one of the worlds "most haunted" towns

Nope, not from Texas

meh. if you buy that, sure

I drove through both of those once in one day

Which two? We've named a lot of cities here...

That's nothing. I've driven through Madison, WI and Mobile in one day. 😛

(One of which I live within day-trip distance of)

Corpus Christi and Amarillo

I was driving from Colorado Springs to Frisco, TX

Sounds flat

It was boring

Texas needs more landscape features

no offense to any Texans here

You also bypassed all the fun driving in CO by starting in Colorado Springs

Eh, Colorado Springs to Denver isn't all that fun, imo

If you started in Alamosa, there'd at least be one interesting part

Oh, Alamosa

Yeah, haven't made it there yet

I mean, there was the Raton Pass

I recommend. It's a fun little place with a decent bit around

but yeah, that's about all the more fun that drive got

well i should mention this but a firearm is not part of your uniform

so it goes against dresscode

Wtf they changed the gun emohi

Android's also changing/changed the dagger to a blue sparkly fantasy sword, and took the egg out of the salad to make it vegan friendly

same

its a squirtgun across all devices

except win 10

its still a revolver there

surprising that they haven't changed the bomb emoji yet

Yep, revolver

revolver on linux also

The mockery is that theres people who got triggered over that shit before.

yep. "if i dont have to see it then it doesnt exist"

I mean journos dont see much these days. Just copypaste and change what they heard

tru tho

Well good ones dont get paid much. Who wants to go to a warzone.

Tyt released a video today insinuating that the CEO of Twitter "Jack" is a white supremacist

Lesson: Don't try to hand feed sharks.

@Schedrevka fake news

It's true, see:

Oslo freedom forum by human rights fundation ... how you wrap regime change agenda into a freedom spin

Media keeps pushing that Central Europe is becoming Authoritarian just because they dont like the EU

iirc Hungary's leaders are acting on constituents demands

idk about Poland

and Romania is just corrupt in general

Arnt they kinda authoritharian anyway?

Oh wait, central

Nevermind

I can see it happening in some countries for sure.

Poland, Hungary, and Romania are the main subjects in this

The NPR narrative was annoying because it tried to paint Trump's attacks on media as a parallel

Like Britain at times already feels like an anarcho-tyrany

b-but the EU *is* authoritarian.

oh i know

im getting in an argument the op about it now

legit having to explain the EUs structure

he thinks that its all elected positions

only Parliament is elected by voters

Council matches who ever the States chief of state is, which is kind of elected by proxy, and the Commission is elected by Parliament

fuck now he's pushing the whole if the EU didnt exist all the countries would be fucked thing

Well, say that its impossible to prove.

Since all the countries in the EU are now being fed, unlike the US is doing just fine. Well, finer than most EU nations.
