He’s not old enough to qualify any time soon.

My husband regularly continues accelerating toward the vehicle in front of us while said vehicle is braking. He also tailgates. It’s terrifying and I rarely let him be the one to drive.

No worries. :-)

Sorry you had a sad day.

Yeah, but I’m not just sharing a face. I’m sharing a legit news article. Anyway, thanks for your work making sure it stays up.

No, and that’s not how assessing flight risk works. I’m not saying that he necessarily isn’t a flight risk. He did have his passport on him. It just sounds like there is the possibility that law enforcement added extra “evidence” so that they could be sure he wouldn’t be let out on bail.

It starts with a video. I just checked and it’s still there.

It’s really helpful to do that before being arrested.

It’s not that weird if you think about it. They could be trying to portray him as a flight risk since he also had his passport.

You don’t know that. His grandfather was wealthy. He’s one of, IIRC, 37 grandchildren. That doesn’t mean he is wealthy. Yes, much more privileged than most of us, but that doesn’t mean he was rolling in cash. Even if he was, so what? He was still fighting against an unjust system.

And he disputed in court that that cash was his–notably, while not disputing that the gun was his. I’ll trust an average person over a cop trying to get a big win any day. They plant plenty of false evidence.

Never heard that phrase, either, but at least that one I can figure out. Thanks.

I was working in tech when I became disabled. I wasn’t rich and I would have become homeless if I didn’t have a partner’s income to fall back on.

Tech isn’t some magical gold mine.

I hope not. Fuck 'em. They should become a pariah.

No, it’s got like velcro on the shoulders or something from the look of it. I guess the idea is you can’t strangle yourself with it? I don’t know.

Just because his grandfather was wealthy doesn’t mean that he is. Not destitute like so many, sure, but that’s not the same as being the 1%. I think I read that Luigi is one of like 37 grandchildren. That’s spreading things pretty thin.

I used to work in a school at a correctional facility for incarcerated teenagers and almost all of them were homeschooled. Many of them could barely read, fewer than 10% could write a coherent statement, and almost none of them had even basic math skills.

“down catastrophic”?

A customer informed an employee who then called police. Two class traitors.
