This is also a car that has the drive selection moved to the iPad on the dash.

Hey! In fairness our legislation is also broken.

He has slightly better weapons and armor but if you do manage to take him down he does have more loot as well.

Unfortunately the law would've never applied to fox news, as it was broadcast only and cable was exempt. But even so nowadays so much of the information sphere is online, through Facebook, Twitter and the thousand different right wing blog news sites that you aren't really going to be able to stop anything. The American system very dependent on the two parties having a bipartisan consensus. But after a few decades of the right wing media sphere whipping the base into frenzy after frenzy the 'true believers' are the ones in government now and the idea of compromise is done for.

So obviously this all isn't very ideal but they actually made at least two mistakes here. That pipe is not rated for being outside and also Romex isn't allowed to be used in wet areas such as underground. Only something like UF cable would be allowed to be ran buried like this.

There's two things that you can do here, the right way and easy way. The right way would be to rip the whole wire out and run it properly. The easier way would be to kill the outlet at the breaker, disconnect the wire from the outlet and to carefully remove the pipe and replace with a PVC pipe that won't rust. Get one from the electrical aisle because those won't degrade in the sun.

So if we're pretending that the cop could be taken at his word and also pretending that while behind a barrier that the cop would be beyond a reasonable doubt threatened by that, that's still the crime of brandishing a weapon, which isn't punishable by death in any court. Cops manage to not kill people all the time, it's not unreasonable to hold them accountable to the already low standards we hold cops to in the US.

Most people don't bend over backwards when the government kills a guy for the crime of, having a weapon that couldn't possibly harm the officer. Unless we're going to be good with cops shooting everyone with a NRA sticker on their car we probably shouldn't be good with it here.

You know what? Maybe I should stop complaining about Comcast, it could always be worse.

Notably the constitution doesn't actually require a trial of any sort. The amendment was put in after the civil war, it would have been impossible to have a trial for everyone that participated in the Confederacy. Bit of an open question how that gets determined nowadays though.

Do you have any links for this? That sounds fascinating but my Google fu is failing me right now.

Self preservation is a good motivator, self sacrifice on the behalf of others isn't unfortunately.
