a riot is the language of the unheard” – but apparently that does not apply to the unheard who peacefully walked through the People’s House back on Jan 6. That kind of unheard person gets 16 years or more in jail – versus 10 years for the kind of unheard person who kills an innocent.

This is not crazy; this is wrong.

TLDR: TSA won’t let you bring plastic water bottles past security; LAX and SFO won’t let you buy them once you get past.

Partially funded by the British government, and built in the United Kingdom, the Hilux-based prototype is powered by a fuel cell, meaning the drivetrain uses hydrogen to produce electricity that’s stored in a battery pack and used to zap an electric motor into motion.

Hilux target demographic does not want hydrogen:

Yup. The end of any need whatsoever to be anal-retentive. Freud would be turning over in his grave has it no been commandeered and filled with excrement (think SFO writ small) as a zero-water commode receptacle - for “environmental” reasons.

The thieves will then be set for life via settlement of the lawsuit against the retailers and manufacturers of the fog machine - for “injuries” sustained by being intentionally unable to see. Maybe even a case of strict liability.

Here is the original article from the Chicago Sun Times.

Loyola University criminal justice and psychology professor Arthur Lurigio, who tracks shootings on Chicago expressways, said the drop in shootings was significant, but he cautioned that it is tough to assess year-to-year changes in crime trends.

He noted that many of the incidents occurred near neighborhoods that experience higher levels of crime.

“They’re occurring on stretches of the interstates and expressways that are parallel to the neighborhoods with the highest number of shootings,” Lurigio said.

The shootings are often a continuation of conflicts that happen on surface streets and neighborhoods, and people are pursued as they try to get away on the highway, he said.

To a shooter, the “benefit” of being on an expressway is that you can get on and get off, Lurigio said.

“If I’m chasing someone and I shoot them on the expressway, within seconds I can get off. It’s also easier to elude the police,” he said. “You’re also traveling at a faster speed, and people are usually focused straight ahead and can’t see the person who shot at them.”
