He is in fact a bully and revoked my bond twice. As a result I had severe anxiety and panic attacks for nearly two years after the charges were dismissed.

While the democratic party has a shameful history when it comes to its support of slavery and Jim Crow, it is the modern republican party that has supplanted it as the party of white supremacy. Today's republican party is doing its damnedest to restrict the right to vote, to protect the re-segregation of public schools thanks to white flight and to water down the Voting Rights Act. <br /><br />The republican party ran on a platform of blatant racism and white supremacy in 2016. Today we have the descendants of the dixiecrats - the modern day republican party - fighting to protect monuments to those who fought to preserve slavery.Paul B.

It is a farce to believe that without the firearm in our society, that these mass killings would stop as well. People intent on murder would just have the inconvenience of having to select a different weapon of combat. Remembering that one is more likely to die from being stabbed as opposed to a gunshot wound (from loss of blood & infection) the only bar that remains for persons intent on murder to carry out these acts is their imagination. Granted without these automatic weapons the amount of casualties would not be as high, these mass killings would still be attempted with different means. Think about the states in their scramble for drugs used in executions, when one is unavailable they simply switch to another drug or try to legislate a different method. The killing & destruction still happens (although the results may vary until they reach what they call success). Drug abuse works the same way as in the absence of cocaine, users found other ways including glue, bath salts & abuse of other household items to achieve that end. I do not know which tool in the absence of firearms that potential mass murders will try including a broadsword, explosives, or go old school by using a bow & arrow that can easily go through a metal detector. They could even go more historical than that & shank their classmates with a sharp stick they got off of the abundance of trees or use a easily obtained pencil from a classroom. Consider that in prison the lack of firearms present does not stop inmates violence upon one another. In the absence of firearms people intent on killing will just have to find another tool for their trade even if it is just a sharp stick (as I wonder how the state is going to ban trees, sticks, & all sharp edged items in attempt to curtail violence). In the absence of firearms from our societies, the casualties of these mass killings might be less but they will still happen. We need to direct our search for a solution not to the elimination of the tool but rather to the person using the tool. Even if their primary most effective, efficient & convenient tool is not available, they only have to find another one.Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298837746880587541.post-3191889568644747052018-05-22T14:23:25.597-05:002018-05-22T14:23:25.597-05:00Radley books & articles are very well research...Radley books & articles are very well researched.

The recipient of an academic scholarship isn't prohibited from getting paid.<br /><br />Coaches get paid. College officials get paid. NCAA officials get paid. Broadcasters get paid. Now gambling execs are going to get paid more. Everyone has their hand out and everyone is reaping the benefits brought in by college athletes. The athletes deserve their piece of the pie.<br /><br />If the majority of college football and basketball players were white middle class kids from the suburbs, we wouldn't even be having this debate. They would already be getting paid.<br /><br />The opposition to paying college athletes is tied very closely with the notion that college is for white kids from the suburbs, not for black and brown kids from the city.Paul B.

And I disagree with the statement that the athletes are not getting theirs. A four year scholarship to most universities is worth tens of thousands of dollars which includes free housing and health care while under scholarship. Again, no one is forced to play college ball.

Inadvertent contamination events still lead to official lab reports that state "semen was found" which are used by prosecutors to coerce confessions from the gullible defendants during plea deals. Conversely, as an advantage for the smarter suspects who doesn't plead and requests DNA testing, there's no DNA testing performed on these samples prior to use by the lab analysts so "unknown male profiles" are common.SWIFS Lab Analystnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298837746880587541.post-69271483708133568342018-03-21T19:04:25.217-05:002018-03-21T19:04:25.217-05:00That which we feel is urgent, is not constantly im...That which we feel is urgent, is not constantly important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298837746880587541.post-32831507746152209372018-03-17T14:33:44.326-05:002018-03-17T14:33:44.326-05:00Why does the law work that simple?
