This is a parent’s worst nightmare. A man was ejected from his seat and fell to his death from the Goliath hypercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, reportedly right in front of his son on the ride while his wife and daughter watched from the ground.
Multiple witnesses at the Austell park say he struck the ride structure several times as he fell, and other traumatized guests pulling back into the station were screaming that his restraint was completely unlatched and unlocked.
How does a flagship, 200-foot-tall coaster train return to the platform with an empty, fully unlatched seat while park security forces emergency evacuations and threatens to kick out anyone taking photos? Six Flags can drop all the corporate, cookie cutter "deeply saddened" statements they want, but a mechanical failure this catastrophic demands immediate, brutal accountability. Absolute gross negligence.
They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.
Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."
Nidal Hasan is a paraplegic. He’s not going to look like a big scary terrorist. He’s going to look small and helpless as he sits in a wheelchair.
The imagery of this is not going to play well with the public.
Donald Trump’s remarks were dangerous — if not treasonous — putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs.
I am directing the State Threat Assessment Center to actively monitor the situation in the event that foreign actors interpret the President’s remarks as an invitation to target California.
Dennis Hastert just died. He was the former Republican Speaker of the House. The media is reporting that he went to prison for violating banking laws, but the banking laws he violated were about manipulating records so he could pay off teenage boys he had sexually abused. He was a pedophile, and we shouldn't be dancing around that.
Damien Shanklin is the @LSU athlete that Kendall Francis has accused of raping her, and whom the school administrators and police have failed to hold accountable.
Far too often the supposed future of athletes is prioritised over the safety of victims. That has to end.
The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.
I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come.
Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.
