FoolyCharged posted:The only reason they might is if this media storm gets out of hand and people en mass won't book the plane out of fear. I dont really see that happening here though. I agree. Given how focused people are on driving down the absurdly high costs of flying in the United States, as well as the normal human experience of rationalizing away any non-immediate risks, I don't think that sort of thing is really going to affect people's decision-making. In any case, I have the feeling that once Boeing figures out a solution that will satisfy regulators in the EU they'll roll it out to global fanfare that the problem is fixed, and people will accept it because it's not like they're in a position to contest it.

And in all honesty, the eu is pretty darn invested in Airbus. Any fix the jaa approve will have to pass scrutiny with one of the earliest groups to ban the plane because there was no consequence in doing so.

So... we’re back to highly regarded gay minority actor was probably assaulted by MAGA hats. With the added twist of the Chicago Police ginning up charges against that actor for faking his own assault. Generally deals come with a guilty plea, right? So all this was... intimidation? Oh hey Rahm, did you want to weigh in? https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/26/charges-against-empire-actor-jussie-smollett-dropped.html quote:"This is without a doubt a whitewash of justice," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said at a press conference where he and police blasted the dismissal. Faaaantastic

I'm just confused. I thought the police made their case based on a legit check from smollett to his co workers. The rope being identified as from a local shop where said coworkers had purchased rope recently and said rope at coworkers place. Dropping charges with all of that feels a little goofy. Was it fake evidence? Crummy reporting? Am I just an idiot that misread the articles I saw?

It's CPD. They likely did some kind of illegal poo poo that they got away with a hundred times before but this time torpedoed their own case when it got high profile. Now they're panicking and trying to make it all go away quietly, nothing to see here, don't ask what happened just, uhhhhhh, move along.

The check was legit for training for his new music video, going by both the memo line and the rates on their website/youtube page. Iirc they bought the masks (Before the biggest cold snap if the season) on tape and no rope. The biggest thing is his family is the one who wanted the FBI involved (his parents are old school activists iirc, so there's no way they'd call in the Feds if they thought he was guilty) and as soon as the FBI got involved, we went from having several leaks a day to loving NOTHING and whoops charges withdrawn, case sealed, nothing to see here. CPD did something dirty

The Fraternal Order of Police on Tuesday unleashed its anger at Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx after charges were dropped against Jussie Smollett and renewed its call for a federal investigation into Foxx’s “interference” in the case. “The conduct of her office from the very beginning of this cases was highly, highly suspicious,” Martin Preib, the FOP’s second vice president, told the Chicago Sun-Times. “The entire country is outraged by it. The evidence is overwhelming that he was legitimately charged in this case. This decision [to drop the charges] appears to be utterly arbitrary, capricious and suspicious.” That criticism was echoed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Supt. Eddie Johnson, who spoke to reporters at Navy Pier after a graduation ceremony for new and promoted CPD officers. “From top to bottom, this is not on the level,” Emanuel said, adding that it looks like another case where the wealthy and famous are treated differently.

Herstory Begins Now posted:Prosecutors, a group noted for their reticence to prosecute slam dunk cases against black men the prosecutor is Kim Foxx, a black woman (a demographic not commonly stereotyped as racist towards black men) who is longtime friends with the Smollet family, who recused herself from the case after texts between her and Jussie's family members were leaked. Im sure none of this has anything to do with why her office dropped the charges.
