My parents are trying to be helpful and buy housewarming gifts as I move out.
They fought all evening over a small thing that either could have asked me about.
My spot at the table is too cluttered with stacks of new plates and silverware to sit and eat dinner with them.
BREAKING:
The Dutch Public Prosecutors Office will seek 8 weeks of prison for the Iraqi asylum seeker Jamal T.
He ran over the 14-year-old Dutch girl Tamar in the summer of 2020 and fled the scene. She died in a nearby ditch.
Initially, the Dutch authorities that it was enough to only serve him a fine of €1500, but the fine remained unpaid as Jamal T. had returned to Germany without leaving an address.
The girl’s mother Trijntje Boes fought for 6 years to get a trial, and hopefully prison time, for the asylum seeker.
She was supported by independent experts and forensic investigators who showed that Tamar's body was moved after the collision.
The police and the Public Prosecutor's Office conducted insufficient investigation.
Trijntje’s niece Melissa, a graduated forensic IT specialist, tracked down the gray Mazda in her own investigation in less than 3 hours. It was a golden tip that the police initially did nothing with.
After nearly 6 years of fighting through her lawyers, the mother finally got the suspect to appear in court. It now remains the be seen whether he will have to serve the full 8 weeks in prison.
The prosecutor has demanded 2 weeks for not paying attention while driving by scrolling on his phone and an additional 6 weeks for fleeing the scene without calling for help.
The case became infamous in the Netherlands after it was revealed that the police had initially told Tamar’s mother that the driver “was from Germany” instead of revealing that it was an Iraqi asylum seeker and that they had later explained their decision by saying that they “didn’t want to create a Geert Wilders moment.”
4 Iraqi asylum seekers were in the car when it hit the young Dutch girl.
@ctrldove@4stro_th3m I've seen from other comments that you have definitely already been reminded of the beard, but I think the reason everyone remembers it is from when Aang goes into the avatar state from the pile of rubble and GRABS Ozai by said beard before absolutely rocking his shit.
@meowwoem44 There's a lot of men here who call their partners "my old lady" - typically a subset of men who are very devotional to their wives and will kick your behind into next week if you look at her wrong
@sirferrell2@CYAssets325 This is so ignorant of self defense law. Self defense is DEFENSIVE. Meaning you are doing your best to avoid the situation and get yourself to personal safety. It does not mean you pull a knife on someone and escalate a situation. Stop making your own side look even worse.
Okay so shoegaze as a music was a subgenre that was made because you spent so much time staring at the foot pedals to achieve the desired sound... Wtf does that have to do with gaming?
@koklaire I imagine that if my childhood-and-adulthood best friend grew up to be the next aspiring mustache man that I might try to reason with him and find the peaceful option too.
Roku was burdened by being too human, and I think that makes him good.
