@hope411adcock@life_is_art___@StefanKertesz All this presupposes levels conscientiousness, organisation, competence, and interest in crafting good outcomes that Trump and his campaign have never once exhibited.
If he and his people were completely different, better people, they could have done all kinds of things.
@richardmarceau They're lining up to prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn't know I had permission
To murder and to maim
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord

@GusFowler Spending time with Americans I'm always amazed at the absolutely wild bullshit that they accept as normal. Guns everywhere, spending nearly your rent again in health insurance that barely covers anything, "voter registration" and lines at the polls. Completely fucked.
@GusFowler@LLCBCer He knows better personally. He's not in it for the money. My best guess, he's a weak people pleaser surrounded by bad people, and has deluded himself into thinking that him personally retaining power is the same thing as the greater good and justifies causing all kinds of harm.
@Whadyatalkinabe @Bambammon @adamzivo@guyfelicella@nationalpost If Guy was running for president this random half-sourced anecdote would without question be worth looking into further. What must it be like to live in your head I can't even imagine.
@Nick_Decap@poliwatchbc@IRPlawyer@adamzivo@guyfelicella If someone tried to prove in court that Guy did this, this sentencing decision would not be evidence that he did. The material the judge had like the psych report could be, but more likely would only be prior statements a witness could be examined on. There's just not much here.
@poliwatchbc@Nick_Decap@IRPlawyer@adamzivo@guyfelicella I think it would be fair to say that this sentencing decision proves nothing about Guy. It isn't about him, the judge drew no legal conclusions about him, he wasn't a participant in the proceedings. I'd think any diligent reporter would understand this.
@Nick_Decap@IRPlawyer@poliwatchbc@adamzivo@guyfelicella Sentencing judges can receive information that would ordinarily be inadmissible and accept mitigating facts on a balance of probabilities. It's not the same thing as a trial. The judge accepted that something like this probably happened, with enough confidence to cut her a break.
@adamzivo Not a big fan of Guy but this is a pathetic reach even for you. But, I am impressed that you're even more clueless about criminal law than you are about drug policy, the subject you've built a whole career around absolutely never ever getting a single thing right about.
@verymetalspg @threefiveorzer0 @ColinDMello When drivers don't follow the law they kill people. When cyclists don't follow the law on the road, drivers kill people (often the cyclist in question). When cyclists don't follow the law by riding on the sidewalk nothing bad happens except weird guys like you get mad.
