Or is it your right.

Misspelling. It as late. Actually I went back an forth last night on the word. My brain was fuzzy.

Why people laughing while recording, sound most of the time like an idiot?

Actually you know their an idiot just by the fact they don't know to turn their camera sideways when using it.

The first test of the new glass in cars.

How 'unbreakable' do you want it to be? If it's beyond normal human strength that could cause problems during emergencies.

It's certainly a trade off and it's hard to say whether the net reduction in injuries/fatalities would be positive or negative beyond some point.

Over the following months Mr Guest, who said his home life was not easy as he had a toddler and a three-month-old baby, continued to suffer anxiety and his GP wrote to his bosses saying he had "developed an increasing phobia and anxiety about long-distance flights and being trapped on the aeroplane."

Mr Guest agreed to take on the flight but called in sick the next day, after which his roster was cleared completely.

The company sacked him in March 2017 saying that it "remains concerned regarding your fitness to safely fly. Due to the uncertainty of your condition we cannot as an organisation accept the risk to safety.

The military has formally charged two Navy SEALs and two special-forces Marines in one of the most grisly cases of fratricide in recent U.S. history, The Daily Beast has learned.

Two members of elite SEAL Team Six, Petty Officer Anthony E. DeDolph and Chief Petty Officer Adam C. Matthews, along with two Marine Raiders face charges that include felony murder, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, burglary, hazing and involuntary manslaughter in the strangulation death of a Green Beret, Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar. All four were charged with felony murder and with lying to investigators.
...
DeDolph and Matthews, along with the two Marine Raiders, allegedly confronted Melgar at the safehouse around 5 a.m. DeDolph, a mixed-martial arts fighter, put Melgar in a chokehold. The attackers and Melgar fell onto the bed with Matthews on top of Melgar, according to a source familiar with the inquiry.

Hearts of darkness.

Hearts of darkness.

I don't believe the death penalty should be applied in any criminal case ... but these sort of people definitely makes me want to reconsider my posture ...

I thought you were talking about all the Nazi collaborators at first... liberal indeed.

Who cares about CIA-Nazi collaboration? Old tired news.

The CIA(and other intelligence), DOJ, FBI, DNC, WH and our free press collaborated against an incoming elected president is much more worrisome.

But most will never hear anything about it. The people of DC and the press have no shame. For they have no morals.

They ignore their guilty conscience for pride and power. An Oath means nothing to these.

American Traitors all. We choose the worse that America has to offer.....to lead and inform us.

The product and result of state education. The elite convinced us that education itself would solve most problems. We live in that result.

Educated Ignorance. Knowledge without ethic. Produces envy and hate.

Only bad times can come. The ICE agency protects us......the CIA is a politicians hobby. The proof of this is John Brennan. Trump has exposed all for what they are......they hate him. They are afraid of him and that puts us in danger. Fear invokes emotion...not reason. The intellect was short to begin with.

It will be an interesting two years. Political comment?.........maybe.....but I don't trust any of them.

The senate has become an unaccountable 4th branch of government. An elite hobby....lobby.

Oh they're accountable, just not to we the people. They do what the donors tell them to do.

For all the wailing about the 2nd amendment, the 1st amendment is a far bigger problem. We rightly want to err on the side of free speech, but we recognize already we need to limit speech just as we limit the right to bear arms. Yelling fire in a theater and all that. Laws against libel and slander are in place but don't seem to have much teeth.

We're all free to lie in public and we expect it from both politicians and now the press. We used to feel that the consequences - kharma - would catch up to the bad actors. Their fraud would be exposed and their reputations damaged. That is no longer true.

And we view money - campaign donations - as speech. That's probably OK, but we never see the K-street deal-making that goes on and makes politicians rich while and after they're in office. There's no way they're acting in the best interests of the taxpayers when they have much larger incentives placed in front of them. We need to somehow get a decent code of ethics in place.

Another turn in the story. Seems they are all crooks.

It was a feel-good story for the ages — a homeless military veteran’s random act of kindness and a New Jersey couple intent on helping him get back on his feet during the holidays — that inspired people to donate than $400,000 in an online fundraiser when it went viral last fall.

But prosecutors say Mark D’Amico, Kate McClure and Johnny Bobbitt Jr. fabricated the story in an effort to raise money for themselves.

“The paying it forward story that drove this fundraiser might seem too good to be true,” Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina said at a press briefing in Mount Holly, N.J., on Thursday afternoon. “Unfortunately it was. The entire campaign was predicated on a lie.”

The three were each charged with second-degree conspiracy and theft by deception. If convicted on all charges, D’Amico, McClure and Bobbitt would each face 10 to 20 years in prison.

 

R.I.P.

One more.

And, not too surprisingly, they are stupid, greedy crooks and that was their undoing. The three cook up a scam and then instead of splitting the money up and going away happy with nearly a half a million, the couple stiff their partner. Greedy and stupid. Then the guy that got stiffed sues his co-conspirators for his share of the illegally obtained money. Stupid on steroids.

I've always believed, long before GoFundMe type sites came along, that fundraising campaigns for targeted purposes should have a cap and no donations should be accepted above that cap. The stated goal of this campaign was to raise $10k to help him get off the street, get into an apartment, and get into rehab. There was no justifiable reason for raising $400k to achieve that goal. The fact that an emotional story can lead tens of thousands of people to make small donations that add up to such large sums is what makes these sites a target for scammers. If, instead, the people setting it up have to state a goal and donations are capped once it is met, then it would weed out most (not all) of the scammers from the site.
