The true difference between left and right wing is whether your takeaway for this is "he ruined that kid's life for $2200" or "that kid ruined his life for $2200".
Everything else is downstream from that.
I find the 2 most insufferable group of people on the planet are lifetime educators and lifetime politicians. Both live in a fantasy world that lacks common sense and would not survive a day in the real world

I want to say something about @60Minutes since so many conservatives are trashing it.
When my Dad was first diagnosed with Glioblastoma and we were trying to decide who he and my mother should sit down with and talk about the end days of his life - we ultimately landed on Leslie Stahl and @60Minutes. Leslie came to our ranch in Sedona and sat down and profiled both my parents together for an exclusive sit down. We ultimately chose Leslie because of her prestige as a journalist and respected history of the show.
Leslie and her crew were simultaneously professional and respectful of the delicate emotional state my entire family was in. She was in our secluded home as we all grappled with the concept that my dad was dying and fast from a rare cancer in front of the entire world. She and her producers did a wonderful job. Feel free to watch it, it’s beautifully done. This is not a situation just any person without experience can airdrop and handle the dynamics of. This is not something a rookie commentator or podcaster could have maneuvered with the respect needed. Experience does matter.
Not all legacy media is garbage nor are all reporters. This “throw all the bastards out” mentality is obnoxious and just going to breed more insanity and distrust on both sides.
I don’t want woke journalism. I don’t want anitwoke journalism. I just want great journalism.
Be careful what you wish for conservatives, - there could come a day when Rachel Maddow is put in charge instead of Bari Weiss and then tell me how you feel. The pendulum swings both ways.
The simple fact of this case is that the police thought Henry Nowak was a racist and that meant that they did not feel obligated to extend to him any form of human decency
They killed him because someone accused him of racism
If you hated the hero worship around Obama—as I did—then I don't understand making excuses for a president putting his face on buildings, currency, and passports.
Private individuals making a politician a personality trait is unhealthy. Forcing the public to do so is grotesque.
@abbythelibb_ For more eyewitness accounts, I recommend Victor Klemperer's memoirs...actually called I Will Bear Witness.
If you want a complement to what you just read for the Pacific and Japan, I recommend Tower of Skulls by Rich Frank.
I expected people to keep quiet during the trial. But, now that we have the conviction, why has no minister spoken out? Where are all the celebs who took the knee six years ago? Where is the wall-to-wall BBC coverage? Unlike the Floyd case, this one happened in Britain, ffs.
As Henry Nowak lay bleeding to death in the middle of a quiet residential street in Southampton, his wrists were chained together in handcuffs.
Police officers, who he thought were coming to his aid, had fallen for the lies of his attacker, Vickrum Digwa, a 23-year-old Sikh man who claimed the 18-year-old finance student had racially abused him.
Digwa had in fact stabbed Mr Nowak four times with an 8in ceremonial knife 👇

When American POWs tried to sneak her notes with their personal information to tell their families they were still alive, she gave them to the North Vietnamese. Some of them were beaten to death. You are both commies and you can both fuck off.
This is hilarious… two brown guys just walked out of ICE’s Newark facility, and leftist idiots started CHEERING
They didn’t realize that they WORK THERE🤣🤣🤣
“THEY WORK HERE, DUMBASSES!”
This doesn’t go nearly far enough. Seniors shouldn’t pay any taxes at all. No income tax, no sales tax - nothing. And to thank them for the great fiscal situation of the USA today, college students should take on additional loans to fund cruise vacations for all seniors.
