Amazon already had an office in NYC which was growing. They just aren't making it their "official" HQ2 which would presumably involve expanding it more rapidly.

the HQ2 thing would have been in brooklyn. their current expansion will be in manhattan. it is probably best to think of what was proposed in those terms: the bribes were to develop part of the city that is (ever so slightly) less developed than the rest.

still the correct thing to do for the most desirable city in the country to flip amazon the bird: you pay to come to us, not the other way around.

SET A COURSE FOR
THE FLAVOR QUADRANT

The only reason he’s doing this is because he’s running for Louisiana’s governor and his other republican opponent has been hammering him as not republican enough. Also, that he didn’t support Trump.

The election is this Saturday and both of them are hoping that the Democratic incumbent (John Bel Edwards) doesn’t get over 50%, thus forcing a runoff.

People get shot over weed deals of large volume.

Also black market sellers of anything are big targets for robbery because they operate in cash, and especially in the case of drugs the merchandise is easy to turn over.

The only way this could be more comically obvious is if the Cops also “found” a note Brown wrote as he was dying that read “I died from a bad weed deal because I am a bad person and I recant by testimony against Guyger”

It's not uncommon for people to drive long distances to get their big reups or anything. It doesn't make it any more believable, but it does happen all the time. I personally have known a whole bunch of people who did this, and still do. Sometimes that's who you know, and that's who you get your best prices from.

Actually no, they don't, whereas the things I said actually do happen, frequently.

I'm perfectly on board with the possibility DPD killed this guy, I'm just not jumping to writing creepy snuff film fanfic about it before we have literally any information.

And if I was I'd put more effort into it and not write obviously wrong poo poo like I responded to.

This. I also know somebody who got shot over less than a pound of mid-grade poo poo weed. It happens a lot more than you think. I don't believe a word out of the Dallas cops mouths though.

And this guy who lived next door to a guy who was just murdered by a cop and was involved heavily in the ongoing nationally televised court case and was afraid of the cops(as we've seen from text messages) was keeping that kind of weight around in his apartment, again, next door to where a cop broke in and murdered another black man.

That goes way further than straining credulity. That's so obviously bullshit that anyone who even considers the idea that it's true is just completely full of poo poo.
