If they even did it. This is over a screenshot of a spreadsheet, not the spreadsheet itself, making it even easier to fake if someone was out to get them in trouble. I could make a pic of a spreadsheet claiming to be by BrikoX and doublejay1999 with maybe a minute of work in MS Paint.

Chiropracty isn't "scientific".

It's fine, provided it's not a plot hole - i.e. your fantasy setting needs to not have abolished blindness as a realistic malady, which some settings do. E.g. LOTR 100% has blind people, while the Harry Potter universe only has very poor blind people, since solving blindness is as trivial as a polyjuice potion, even if nothing else works (and something more effective is bound to work).

Banning specific guns is pure theater, even if it passes. There's zero real safety in it.

It's currently the Ameican right, not the American left, defending Israel. And only Americans think "libtard" is a word.

Do you have experience in Arizona, specifically? These allegations about weaponizing CPS to go after poor people for being poor are state-specific.

Names are meaningless. The allies were fighting the "National Socialists", who weren't Socialists. Likewise, "Defund the Police" movement members need not actually support defunding the police - supporting lowering their funding without lowering it to zero still qualifies.

For starters, let's be clear: Jacob Brown committed battery, a violation of Louisiana state law. This case is about an alleged violation of Federal law and simply isn't a battery case. That means it's not as cut and dry as "we have this guy on video committing battery with a flashlight, of course he's guilty".

This is what Jacob Brown was charged with violating: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/242

So if you want to claim this case is open and shut or cut and dry, you need to point to some element of that law Jacob violated and then explain how it's so obvious he violated that element.

My first guess, and to be clear, I am speculating, is that they tried to prove Jacob battered Aaron because Aaron was black. That means proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Jacob doesn't simply beat everyone up, which is very difficult to prove, especially since so many cops genuinely do simply beat everyone up.

"Libertarian conservative" makes exactly as much sense as "authoritarian liberal" and has the same energy as "lawful chaotic" or "evil good".

So far it seems like Reddit but with a lot less content. I'm assuming that's primarily a popularity problem.
