I'm really curious about this. Has the allegation there was a gun found on scene be confirmed? The whole thing stinks but why did they run? Besides being black and stopped by a cop.

I'm having a really hard time with this but the officer did so many things wrong.

The kid was riding in the front seat of a car that had performed a drive-by. Shooter was in the backseat, kid who got shot was in front seat. Both ran after the cop pulled them over, and I think they eventually found the shooter and charged him with attempted murder. Not sure if they found the gun.

Two guns were in the car under the seats. Kid never fired his.

Chasing after the mythical moderate Republican who will cross party lines sure worked well in 2016, let's run it back

I wish there was a way to get an honest poll with a big enough sample size to see if a significant, or if in fact any, R's crossed the line last time when you had a radical republican face down a centrist Democrat.

I’ll never understand being bitter about transplants. Say maybe improve your schools and supply your own local talent?
Maybe since the new millennium people didn't want to be gentrified out of their homes.

Maybe fifty years ago or so they didn't want to see their city succumb to urban sprawl.

I don't know NoVA's situation, but I grew up in Seattle. I've gotten over myself and accepted the changes (being active duty and not actually living there for over a decade helped) but I can see why the locals didn't appreciate the Californians coming since the seventies. (Through my biases, I cannot see why said Californians would be complaining about the tech boom or "hipsters")

I was thinking this morning about how it's kind of interesting that third parties have found a way to get a seat at the table by running in primaries of the major parties. The Freedom Caucus is basically a third party in Congress at this point that forces the Republican party to the right, much like in parliamentary systems. I think we'll start to see this a bit more from the left as well, especially groups like the DSA.

Yeah that's exactly the idea behind the DSA, to be the farthest left wing of the Democratic Party and to pull them in that direction as a whole. They're not a third party. They don't run their own candidates in the general election. They endorse candidates in Democratic primaries and try to win there and then those people try to win the general election as a Democrat. If their candidate loses the primary then that sucks but they're still Democrats.

Or maybe GenX homeowners can cash in on their stupidly expensive urban postage stamp homes and let them be torn down and replaced by medium and high density condos.

But that would drive the cost of those stupidly expensive homes down by making affordable housing, and we can’t have that now can we :nallears:

Hey now, those luxury apartments and condos wouldn't be affordable! Now excuse me while roll I around on the lawn of the multi-million dollar house I bought for $17k 50 years ago, screaming BUILD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ANYWHERE NEAR ANYTHING ELSE.

PS: I'm totally, 100%, undeniably for affordable housing, just so long as it's built nowhere near me (or anywhere with easy access to grocery stores and economic opportunity) and my tax dollars don't pay for them.

Oh my, those unfortunate people packed like sardines into that character-less stack of shipping containers! And for $1,000 a month! Why, when I briefly rented back in 1969, I wouldn't pay that much in a year. How can anyone live like that?! I'm going to do my duty to get out to every city council meeting and demand no such projects even get through the planning stages.

Wait, what do you mean, "Where will they live if not here?" Surely these renters will see the error of their ways and put a 20% down payment on a classic single family home in no time! They can't afford half that, you say? My, it's time they learned a little Financial Responsibility and get their act together!
