Ahah these people are obsessed with bad latin

quote:

In an op-ed in the Columbia Missourian, Dyer described himself as “a conservative, straight out of central casting, a pro-life evangelical who is an unapologetic admirer of the American Founding Fathers and the U.S. Constitution.” Dyer is the author of the book “Slavery, Abortion, and the Politics of Constitutional Meaning,” in which he draws legal connections between slavery and abortion, arguing that Roe v. Wade denies personhood to fetuses the same way the Dred Scott v. Sandford denied personhood to Black people.

Ah, a serious scholar!

Wouldn't the autopsies show what kind of bullet killed each of them. I don't think you'd need the video to establish that.

Uvalde County doesn't have a coroner, the county judge had to make official IDs of the bodies.

1. After a certain point... given the number of shots some of these poor kids took, there probably wasn't enough remaining enact to identify the caliber used even.

2. Since bad guy and pd were both armed with AR15's, caliber won't really help anyway.

3. Lastly, its... :airquote: possible :airquote: that an entact bullet could be removed from a victim and reviewed for striations that match those of a bullet fired from the school shooters rifle, but.
A. That's assuming that any of these bodies were able to stop a bullet, instead of having them go clean through, or obliterating into fragments, which 5.56 is very good at. Especially at this range.
B. That's also ignoring the fact that bullet striation comparison has also faced significant scrutiny in the past decade I think, as to how accurate it really is.

READING COMPREHENSION IS HARD
The city of Odessa and virtually the entirety of Ector County, pop ~162k are without water and probably will be for 24-48 hours after a water main broke and the only way to shut it off was to shut the valves at the water treatment plant. Water infrastructure is a big problem there because well its a loving desert and both the plant and the mains are ancient and need expansion if not replacement. This is, of course, a non-starter to the blood red MAGA leadership of the city because taxes are evil.

Utah did this and had a lot of success (95% of program participants did not fall back into homelessness).

So, of course, state auditors are out to gut it

Probably most people believe, deep down, that homelessness is a character defect or laziness. That's one of the reason it's so hard to find the political will to do the things we need to do to deal with the problem.

Just like probably most people, when confronted with this issue, would just go "maybe they shouldn't have done crimes then". We don't have a lot of empathy as a society.

Yeah, it seems to me extremely difficult to frame what Utah's done as unsuccessful, but I've seen a few hit pieces over the last few years and now the legislative auditors are sharpening their knives. Did not seem very hard for them to start manufacturing the consent to gut it.

That's not completely true. From that article:

quote:

Houston has gotten this far by teaming with county agencies and persuading scores of local service providers, corporations and charitable nonprofits — organizations that often bicker and compete with one another — to row in unison. Together, they’ve gone all in on “housing first,” a practice, supported by decades of research, that moves the most vulnerable people straight from the streets into apartments, not into shelters, and without first requiring them to wean themselves off drugs or complete a 12-step program or find God or a job.

There are addiction recovery and religious conversion programs that succeed in getting people off the street. But housing first involves a different logic: When you’re drowning, it doesn’t help if your rescuer insists you learn to swim before returning you to shore. You can address your issues once you’re on land. Or not. Either way, you join the wider population of people battling demons behind closed doors.

So their coordinating to use existing housing also.
