Local LE may have poisoned the thing too far and out of towners might actually be a thing (Tm). You hear about the charming guys they arrested buying bomb parts? Some of those wonderful lads from New Black Panther Party.* http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/two-men-arrested-connection-ferguson-bomb-plot *I swear they're so moronic you'd think they were a false flag group run by some very dumb white people. Edit  quote:According to a federal indictment, the two suspects, Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis, made false statements while purchasing two guns, Hi-Point ACP pistols, at a Cabela’s sporting good store in Hazelwood, Mo. – about five miles from Ferguson – sometime between Nov. 1 and Nov. 13. Two officials told NBC News that the men claimed to be associated with the New Black Panther Party and that they also wanted to acquire bombs.

It's kind of a shame that there's only this thread if we want to post about how upset those people get, honestly it would be cool if there was a whole forum where we could do that and be free of the groupthink.

The problem with D&D is that they just ignore and cover for people who post outrageously wrong things because those guys are on 'their side'. I think we can all appreciate that is a bad way to run a thread and I'm glad it doesn't happen here, which is exactly why we should use this thread as a model. Pretty much, this thread rules.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Sounds like an issue better addressed by streamlining the FOIA process rather than the other way around. It's not like there's an expectation of privacy when talking to a police officer on duty, and it shouldn't be complicated to carve out an exception when private conversations do need to happens - perhaps turning the camera off if both the officer and person being talked to agree to turn it off, and there is more than one officer in the room. It wasn't so much the process as much as just costs and the guy make these massive requests and iirc the cost is incurred by the department. Anyway I need to find the article when I get home.

Zeroisanumber posted:I thought that Johnson's legal justification was post hoc, something that he threw together to make wasting Americans with drones sound dubiously legal after we wasted al-Awlaki and that propagandist butt boy of his from Virginia. I'm slightly confused on why it's such a big problem in the first place. Wouldn't the fact that they're hanging around people you're authorized to waste and aiding those people be enough? I mean just don't write in the Log at the fart trailer at Nellis that he was the main target. I feel like I'm missing something.

ActusRhesus posted:the problem comes down to the question of whether or not he was in fact an authorized target under LOAC, which boils down to whether or not you believe in the concept of a borderless "global war" which Obama said he doesn't, or whether LOAC requires a recognized theater of armed conflict, and what exactly classifies someone as a belligerent vs. a run of the mill criminal. And then there's the moral "US citizen" angle. I could go on and on about this if you want. But it would be Ah I see. I just remember having to to this argument for a law school final and going with its legal via AUMF and such...got a B- or B I think. FWIW this was back when it was theoretical and what his name hadn't been to the Hell fire Club yet. Going back to my earlier point what if the official target is someone else and oh darn shitlord happens to be there? Both wink wink and oh wow look who the hell we got too, does that change the calculus at all in your view? Edit I generally don't view citizenship as driving a big part of the process...but I'm also presuming the person is aiding or part of the enemy force in a combat zone. It's not like you could have just let drones handle people some goofs in the US outside of some weird scenarios that are more the realm of action movies.

Yeah, I think my argument was he was part of the AQ brand and pledged loyalty to Osama and AQ. The pledge of fealty was akin to placing himself and AQAP under the AQ command structure. Not the best argument, but somewhat workable at the time. There is also the issue of if you are assisting an ally (in their country) who is allowing your presence and to conduct military operations against a mutual enemy. I'm pretty sure for example the "legitimate" Somalia government gives us carte blanc, and we bought Pakistans and Yemen. I haven't heard that one formally argued (well besides Somalia for obvious reasons), but it could be another way to allow a bite at the apple.

holocaust bloopers posted:There's plenty of "free speech died today" comments on the internet regarding Sony pulling the movie from release. I don't think those people understand what free speech applies to, but OK. Well considering it definitely was the Norks, so say the FBI (an announcement could come as early as tomorrow apparently) it's slightly different then a private corporation making a call. I think its more the generally concept about being able to make a movie and not have a pudgy little bastard use something that is a borderline act of war (depends how you view a cyber attack from one nation state on a non nation state) to prevent its release. http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-has-concluded-north-korea-is-behind-sony-hack-1418861023 Marshal Prolapse fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Dec 18, 2014 |

holocaust bloopers posted:Yea the FBI might have something credible to back this up. I didn't think this was Sony's decision. That said I do think Sony wants the movie to go away at this point. Interestingly I think their current stance might actually get more people wanting to see it, some of if only to piss off Big uns. If anything it cements him as an unstable whack job who exposed the core of his countries (only) elite special forces that doesn't fight with pointy sticks to the world to study in detail and counter balance. It also makes his dad of all people seem less petty as at least his idea of terrorism was trying to murder the entire ROK leadership at a funereal one time. I mean it's not like they stole money or goods. This is literally just "gently caress you don't make fun of me."
