No that was another dingo/baby incident. This baby was saved albeit with a fractured skull.

Chalking tires to enforce parking rules is unconstitutional, court says

Unless you can’t find a parking spot. Then it sucks.

So your solution is to put meters everywhere? So when the meter runs out it’s the same thing isn’t it? The purpose is to give everyone a chance to park in the public sphere.

I'm going to assume you're talking about areas where a decent amount of parking turnover during business hours is expected, and where folks shouldn't be abusing those slots by using them as a parking lot space. Ya, put meters on those.

A statue of the Virgin Mary is weeping in a Sri Lankan church. Yeah. I don't believe it.

Official: Most Sri Lanka bombers were highly educated (from @AP) https://apnews.com/b03a953e04d947a2bb515f8d47d19310

Quote:

Many of the suicide bombers who killed more than 350 people in a series of coordinated Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka were highly educated and came from well-off families, the junior defense minister said Wednesday.



The bombers were breakaway members of a pair of obscure extremist Muslim groups, he said. Officials had earlier blamed one extremist group for the bombings, though they say the attackers may have had support from foreign militants.

“Their thinking is that Islam can be the only religion in this country,” Ruwan Wijewardene told reporters. “They are quite well-educated people,” he said, adding that at least one had a law degree and some may have studied in the UK and Australia.
I wonder if Sri Lanka will play a no endgame tit for tat with them or clean house like Myanmar did.

Frownland 04-24-2019 07:17 AM

Let's hope they're not as retarded as Myanmar or Trump.

I drove to California from NJ and my mechanic after checking my car out for the trip told me that whatever I do, drive the f*cking speed limit in Texas with out of state plates unless I want to know what jail tacos taste like. I listened.

lulzzz ok

Chula Vista 04-24-2019 02:13 PM

Only time I spent a night in jail was over an unpaid traffic violation. Ticket happened in a town I figured to never be in again so I blew it off. Bout 5 years later got pulled over for speeding and next thing I know I'm being handcuffed for an 'outstanding warrant'. Sleepy enough town that it made the paper the next day.

$25 ticket ended up costing me about 5 times as much.

Even if no other teacher flips out and shoots a kid OH alone is enough reason to not pass that law.

I totally agree. And I’m not anywhere near as crazy as it gets. If you don’t think low income schools are ripe with mentally ill teachers you don’t have any ****ing idea what’s behind the curtain. Drug addictions, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, dementia, paranoia, suicidal ideation, racism, malignant narcissism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, bankruptcies, bad hair days, psychotic breaks, plain old fear, plain old anger- the list of reasons not to do this are endless

Cuthbert 04-25-2019 03:43 PM

Bad hair days :D

The Batlord 04-25-2019 03:45 PM

I don't think anyone here thinks OH has ever held a comb in his hand.

Plus it’s hysterical. The chances your school is going to go Columbine are still millions to one. 99.999% of all schools, even in America, never experience a gun related death on campus.

There are so many real issues. This is a sad ****ing joke.

I'm still listening for the "boo."
Maybe some grumbles from some
who couldn't hear past their self-righteousness.

No boos and no answering of the question. Maybe he got on with it after the clip ended..

More groans than boos but they ain’t voting for him which is my point.

And as for their self-righteousness, he’s the most annoyingly self-righteous politician ever. I’ve heard him brag about marching with King so many times, **** is worn the **** out. What’s next? Telling us about Woodstock? Get that boring ass never shutting the **** up multi-millionaire geriatric honkey the **** out of here.

Ever stop to think that if he had shut his entitled trap after it was mathematically impossible for him to win the primary Hillary may have won. That wouldn’t even bother me if he were on a genuine mission to destroy Hillary’s neo-liberalism (despite being a quintessential neo-liberal himself) but the end of his campaign was nothing but narcissistic power hungry attention mongering. And surprise surprise he receives endless forgiveness from every white male this side of Trump. But put him in front of women of color and it’s like **** you grandpa. Wonder why?

White supremacy takes many forms.
