Also I have questions re: the girl on the bottom left. Maybe it's just the bright orange dress making her skin tone look darker...

A 66-year old woman from Nebraska is suing all gay people, because she thinks homosexuality is a sin, and she wants the law to finally acknowledge it.
Also because she is out of her mind.
Sylvia Driskell filed the lawsuit on May 1 with U.S. District Court of Omaha, and in a handwritten, 7-page document she lists herself as the “ambassador” for the plaintiffs “God and his son, Jesus Christ.”
The defendants are listed as simply “homosexuals” – presumably, every single one of them – which would make for quite a full courtroom.
Here are a few passages from the lengthy, incoherent argument:
I Sylvia Ann Driskell; Contented that homosexuality is a sin, And that they the homosexuals know it is a sin to live a life of homosexuality. Why else would they have been hiding in a closet.
Never before has Our great Nation the United States of America And our great State of Nebraska; been besiege by sin; The way to destroy any Nation, or State is to destroy its morals; Look what happen to Sodom and Gomorrah two city because of the same immoral behavior thats present in Our Nation, in Our States, and our Cities; God destroy them.
After the news broke, Dan Savage simply Tweeted that he hopes to get a chance to testify, which would be amazing.

I believe you meant to say "more difficult." That avoids confusion more betterly.

Aide to California State Attorney General ran his own rogue police department whose website claimed to have "jurisdiction in 33 states and Mexico."

Dude, you left out the best part where they claim they are the descendants of the Knights Templar (that were also somehow founded over 1000 years BC).

In other words, they think they're in a real-life version of Assassin's Creed.

We already have a cartel doing that and for some reason this idiot thought that was a good idea to mirror.[DOUBLEPOST=1431080935,1431080850][/DOUBLEPOST]

Well, at least he's not doing the shooting any more.
"YOU CAN'T FLIM FLAM THE ZIM ZAM!"
FTFY
Yeah, but he shot a black kid to death, so he'll always be a hero to some people.
That's, um.... wow. That's just weird.

The Washington Post has a clock timing how many minutes (30,000 so far) have elapsed since Hillary has answered a question from the press.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ce-hillary-clinton-answered-a-press-question/
She's been a candidate for a month, but she's been bringing her own pre-screened event attendees by bus, only answering questions her people gave them to ask (and even last did that 3 weeks ago), and has been barring media entry to the events.
I guess her handlers figured out Hillary is most popular when she's not seen or heard.

Why take the stand if the other side is making your case for you? Jade Helm 15 is bringing all the stupid on the right to the fore.
I'm almost hoping one or more of these wingnut groups convinced it's an invasion of Texas carries out their online threats and takes a few shots at the troops. Bring it, internet tough guys.

... because you don't get to plead the 5th when you're running for president. It looks bad when Republican candidates are stepping out the front door of whatever venue, into the crowded street, and answering every question shouted at them, but Hillary intentionally excludes and stymies not only "real" people but also the media, having to bring her own audience with her wherever she goes.
You know it's bad when even the left-leaning WaPo is roasting her for it. If standing mute was valid political tactics, Ollie North would be president.
I hear ya. I'm conflicted as well.
Am I missing something? Cursory Wikipedia reading, plus that article, show me that parole seems warranted in this case. I'm not familiar with the events beyond that, though.
Ditto as Denbrought. No doubt the guy did wrong, but he's been in prison for some 8 years on..;well, manslaughter, apparently, which strikes me as a legal oddity as I'd have guessed "giving someone a gun and wiping it down" would be more like aiding or being an accomplice. That aside, though, a prisoner who plead guilty, served most of his time, shows remorse, got his degree in prison, has shown through day leave that he can work in society and all that, isn't that the whole point of parole?
It's the fact that 4 officers are dead, and there's nobody to "blame" except the two who set him up with a gun and a place to hide. And that consecutive sentencing isn't a thing in Canada, and thus people feel that he didn't do the time for doing this to 4 other families.
Does the rest of it justify parole? Ya probably I'll admit, but there's still those other feelings surrounding it.
...the guy who did it? It's not because he's dead that it's suddenly not his fault.
Consecutive sentencing doesn't exist in most of the civilized world, btw. That's just Americans being silly
I can understand the sentiment - when Michelle Martin* was released there was quite a bit of upheaval over it as well. She hadn't shown remorse or done anything useful in jail, though, and what she did was...slightly worse than what this guy seems to have done.
*wife of Marc Dutroux. He kept a couple of kids in the basement (he abducted 11, raped and killed 9, in Belgium and is suspected of several more abroad), she knew about all of it, fed them and cleaned their cage when he ordered her to, did nothing else. When he went to jail, she continued to feed the dogs in the house, but not the girls. She was released after about 15 years.

Democrats are really pulling out the long knives over this trade disagreement. They've filibustered Obama's trade powers bill, and now he's being called sexist?
