Dead Reckoning posted:It's a federal felony punishable by up to five years, which is pretty severe. My guess would be that they don't want to prove mens rea for aggravated assault or attempted homicide, or open the door to a self defense claim. Isn't it standard practice to charge people with all of the above and get them on what you can? At least when you're not empathizing with the neo-nazi, I guess.

Looked it up and you're right the only other law South Carolina has that could be applied is about pointing guns at other people, which is a felony that carries five years. I also learned that making Teflon coated ammo is illegal which led me to look at what Teflon coated ammo is for an hour.

Get some holding cell snitch to say: "  He said the lesser race was getting above itself, and that's why I shot at him. I'm sorry I missed."Hell, he might even say that in earshot of an honest person. Anyway, if you think convicting a nazi to a life sentence is too much trouble, then goddamn, you can slack better than anyone I stumbled across surfing porn on their work computer.

Look, I'm not the prosecutor here, I'm just saying that 5 years and a felony record is nothing to sneeze at, and that we should be open to the possibility that not every charging decision is based first and foremost on sneering racism.FAUXTON posted:restricting the supreme court to a legislative OCR machine erodes their constitutional role in checking the power of the legislature and executive.

Regional service was later shut down or delayed due to the storm. Once notified of the issue, ICE worked with San Antonio who had a relief agency make arrangements for the people to have places to stay the night while they waited. Most families have already left the area with service being restored. BUZZFEED gotta BUZZFEED.

IIRC most major Airports like Houston have a mobile ground radar and mobile/emergency ATC. That or Houston Space Center probably has their own ATC.

Just a side note, there's actually a pretty good reason why Houston didn't have a mandatory evacuation: deaths in traffic during the Hurricane Rita evac. https://twitter.com/stephgosk/status/901894638335864832 There are counterarguments about how they might not have taken the storm seriously and/or should've evacuated the flood-prone areas, but welp.

It would make sense that, after you get to the point where you throw your hands up and admit that evacuations will no longer ever be feasible, you go balls to the wall in funding flood protection measures and emergency response so people can survive in place. I don't think much of that happened.

Before my time, but AWACS was close-controlling helicopters in the immediate Katrina aftermath using printed city maps and correlating to radar data. Their success meant we got NORAD-diverted from normal training to watch hurricanes make landfall for the next couple of years, even when they were weak and not expected to do much. I watched Gustav, which was interesting only because the ASO tweaked the long-range radar to show moisture...we actually saw the arms and rotation of the storm, which I didn't think was possible.
