I keep waiting for a mod to put an end to this bullshit DnD crap in PYF, but I can't hold this in anymore. Terrible Opinions, not only is your user ID apt, you are seriously the thickest, arbitrarily contrary poster on these forums. And given the competition, that's quite something. Regardless, take it to PMs or make thread in DnD.

“Two days before he died, Everett Palmer Jr. called his brother, Dwayne, to tell him he was on his way from Delaware to New York to visit him and their sick mother. But first, he said, he wanted to resolve an outstanding DUI warrant from an incident in 2016 in Pennsylvania to make sure his license was valid for the drive to see his family. The phone call was the last time the family would hear from the 41-year-old US Army veteran and father of two. On April 9, 2018, two days later, the family was told that Palmer had died in police custody at the York County Prison. Fourteen months later, the Palmers say they still don't know what really happened. But they are suspicious because when Palmer's body was returned to them, his throat, heart and brain were missing.”

pookel posted:It's unnerving that a coroner's office could be this incompetent: A quick google suggest that these are the legal requirements for a coroner in the state of Pennsylvania. -18 years or older -A resident of your county for at least one year -The most votes in the election -Complete a one-week certification course within six months of your election From second-hand sources mind so it's possibly this isn't fully accurate. I do know that not every state requires a medical background for the position though, so it seems plausible to me.

I always wanted to be a small town coroner that gets dragged into a murder mystery that helps take down the corrupt county sheriff with the help of a mysterious widow with a checkered past and the local hooligan who knows way more than he seems. Now that I know all I have to be is legal smoking age and popular I think I can pull it off.

The sheriff's office is right in York though, which is pretty cosmopolitan, if a bit small. If it were some podunk sheriff's office in western PA it'd be a lot easier to wrap my head around, I never really considered York to be that way. This in no way negates your conclusion, I just found it shocking that it was York and not something like Perry county.

I’ve always jokingly said Pennsylvania is Philly and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between but really it’s a pretty great state. Anecdotally, when we had the huge flood in ‘05, my friend Steve and his then-girlfriend Nat were coming from Allentown to visit. Important to the story: Steve is black and Nat isn’t. Their car got swept into a ditch by the water a half mile from my very very rural house and they had to crawl out of the sunroof to go get help (they didn’t realize how close they were to my house). First house they went to gladly let them in to use the phone, super nice people, etc. but hanging on the wall was a huge Stars ‘n Bars. Steve said it felt super weird and ominous despite how nice the people were.

I’ve always jokingly said Pennsylvania is Philly and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between but really it’s a pretty great state. Yeah, I'm in the Harrisburg area and a half hour in any direction can land you straight into Deliverance. I went hiking with a black friend up in Rickett's Glen a few years back with our families, and coming down from the forks after they converge there was a pair of guys with their kids playing in the creek, both of them covered in white power tats; Swastikas, Iron Crosses, you name it. It was pretty surreal, and the only time I've ever felt like I may be in some sort of danger on a hiking trail. They were staring at us as we walked past and I looked over to see what their reaction was, and one of them just kind of gave me the old head nod as if to say we were cool, so we just powered past them and finished the hike. We were able to joke about it later, "That's crazy, it's like we just saw a Nazi in its natural habitat!"; but I was legit worried for a minute there. At the point we saw them we were a good 3 miles of rugged trail from any kind of civilization and there's really no easy way for emergency services to access it, seeing as it's completely wooded and the trails leading down from the waterfalls are all steps carved/shaped out of nearby slate. That said, it was the only time I'd ever seen something like that, and Rickett's is an amazing place if you like waterfalls and hiking. Anyway, that's my E/N story for today.

pookel posted:That is terrifying & I suspect the presence of their kids may have been what prevented them from trying to start something. That was my suspicion as well. There were three or four of them and the oldest among them couldn't have been more than 5 or 6. When we first started approaching them they were all laughing, carrying on, picking them up and spinning them around, and dunking each other in the water. If it weren't for the tattoos it would have just been a pair of dads having a good time out in nature with their kids. Also worthy of note, all the kids were blonde haired, blued eyed, "perfect" aryan specimens; like some kind of hitler youth summer camp outing. Just typing this out after so many years sounds unbelievable, and if I didn't witness it I'd have a hard time believing me.

It's super weird to just come across them. I was at a Barnes & Noble years ago, and saw a child of four-ish go up to an alt-history book with a swastika on it and point. Skinny, shaved head dad with prominent iron cross neck tattoo says " aw, no, buddy we don't want that book; they don't have good things to say about the Fuhrer." Then he catches my eye and I just sort of Homer Simpson into the bushes back to my teenage sci-fi section haven. It was pretty much my first actual confirmation that Nazis were still very real.

A friend of mine was about a block away from his house, at a gas station. A pair of guys with white power tattoos came up to him from the bar next door and asked "Hey, are you white?" He looked at his hands, back to the guys, and replied, "Do I look white to you?" The guys beat him up, dented his cute Chevy Love truck, and left. He took his truck home and called the cops. The cops told him since there was a bar nearby they could always get him for drinking and driving (he wasn't) and refused to talk about the fact he just got attacked. Dude had bruises for weeks. We keep warning him that his sarcasm is going to get him killed. This is Marysville, WA, so it's not like it's a bad neighborhood and it's not in an area known for white power assholes. So yeah that's unnerving. Scathach has a new favorite as of 16:29 on Jun 12, 2019 |

Living in Georgia I have encountered a few and it's gross. First time I was working in a big box store copy department and on my first day as a manager I walked in and two really sickly goth people where at the counter getting help from this little old lady that also worked there. I looked at what they were copying and it was hand drawn portraits of their favorite SS members. It was literally my first day as I got transferred there as a manager and had no idea what to do so I stood gobsmacked as they finished and left. When they were gone I told everyone to let me handle them from then on as I was allowed to tell them to leave. They never came back that I know of so I never got to. I feel like I was a pussy who should have spoken up  Later my neighbor went from being an ultra conservative but relatively nice guy to a literal Nazi who started to beat his wife. She kicked him out and has gotten divorced thank god. This was over the course of about 8 years he changed and I had no idea about the wife beating. Feel regrets over that one too Last one was just seeing a couple in full Nazi regalia as I drove by on my way home and so I honked and told them to get hosed. I did ok on that one but that's it.

Here in Louisiana, we had three predominantly-Black churches burned down and a fourth threatened. The guy who did it was a neo-Nazi but was also the son of a parish (county) Sheriff’s Deputy, and, this being the homeland of David Duke, Duck Dynasty, and many other alliterative racists, we all figured he’d get his hair tousled and a statement would be released that said “no one was hurt and boys will be boys!” It even shocked the local contingent of “removing the Confederate monument from the courthouse steps erases ARE HISTORY” klanfolk when it was announced that the dude would not only face charges, but that hate crime charges would be tacked on to boot! However, lest you imagine this is progress, if you don’t comply with a police officer in the state of Louisiana, or (heaven forbid) you try to prevent them from harming or killing you, you can be charged with a felony hate crime because of our Blue Lives Matter Law.

IMO, they should extend that to every occupation, as harming someone of any profession for holding said profession is surely a hate crime. lol LA you crazy
