I always wonder how much leeway the judges have with these things. Realistically the moron throwing firecrackers is never going to have 36 million dollars, but that's no excuse to just not make him pay every possible cent he can. I vaguely remember a probably STDH story from when I was a kid about how a drunk driver supposedly was ordered to pay the family of the kid he ran over a dollar a week by check for life, and I feel like an income-scaled version of that would be appropriate here.

Ten years of probation and community service seems pretty fair and balanced given the hot tempers on both sides. He should be feeling the effects for life, not to the point of ruination, but seeing 10% of every check he ever earns garnished wouldn't be entirely excessive given the damage he caused.

Seize and liquidate the entire franchise and hand the proceeds directly to the poor as cash. Dynamite the stadium sim city style and build a low income housing project so large as to be visible from orbit. The now-unemployed ballsports players can live in it, I guess.

If we get it down to where 100% of the remaining homeless are "service resistant" then we have a different problem to solve but for now why not do what we can? Oh right, people are poo poo, that's why not. E: here (rural OR) the big "service" is a church run shelter that has some pretty draconian rules for people. Like to have to give up any pets, can't even leave to look for work, must attend religious services, no smoking or drinking, not to mention any other substances. I think they can have coffee but that's it for useful drugs. Can't imagine why people would decline such a generous offer. Javid fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Aug 15, 2018 |

Which is funny because that story is just "so why am I even paying for this poo poo" in a nutshell. I'm in joco and have never heard anything like that, fwiw, but it is the county that basically doesn't have LE outside of the one city for similar reasons.

I would literally rather pay the same amount for gas and have it fund unemployment for the exact same people instead, just so I don't have to wait for them to quit smoking and slowly waddle over to push the same buttons on the pump that I would otherwise be pushing myself. This is the most backwards poo poo ever.

It's funny to me since they make paying the fares as much of a pain in the dick as humanly possible, to the point of wanting to gate the entire fare system behind a smartphone app. I fully support crippling their enforcement until they quit bothering.

Reene posted:Knute's plan to "solve" the homeless problem seems to be poo poo like "make it easier for police to harass and arrest the homeless and charge them with crimes for sleeping on public property (because they have nowhere else to go, on account of being loving homeless)" which is uhhhh unconstitutional as well as pretty immoral but hey, ~pensions~. So I definitely agree that this is bad, but what, if anything, is Kate doing to move things in the opposite direction on this issue? This is on my shortlist of key issues so I'm hoping for a better selection than "republican with bad ideas, Democrat with no ideas"

Literally what is accomplished by making the cops run nics rather than the dealer, other than intentionally bottlenecking the process? Dealers are already set up to do it; it's not like they're personally researching the person and making a judgement call, they plug in the info and it comes back yes or no, no room to gently caress it up.

This fuckin thread. "All cops are literal Nazis" Ok, so let's not gate people's rights through them, yeah? "Nah I'm cool with people I consider literal Nazis having that additional power over the public" Teabag Dome Scandal posted:It's weird that the people complaining about a law that doesn't seem to do much to change the status quo are the pro gun people and not the people wanting stronger gun control. I mean it's the ideal gun control measure in that it expends as much time and money as possible to reach the exact same results as the current system does.

BrandorKP posted:One could have a receipt for a trigger lock. Every new gun comes with a locking mechanism of some kind, so there are a lot of people who own one or several locks with no paperwork of any kind. So either no receipt = no proof even if they did use it, OR receipt for a new firearm = receipt of a lock = proof even if they didn't use it and it's in a drawer or something. Either way, having to find out in court if your lock is going to count or not is extra stupid, and the authors of that garbage would consider that a feature, not a bug.

Not really, like if they had any idea what it was it wouldn't be "unknown", it was either leave it as a category or assume they're divided proportionally to the other firearm categories which would've not even pushed rifles out of the 2.x% range iirc If you've got a better way to divine the composition of that "unknown" slice of the chart lay it out and we can see what it comes out to

The county next to mine just passed a thing banning any fees for opting out of smart meter installation from Pacific Power. Mine is moving that way as well. Anywhere else having such severe wailing and gnashing of teeth over the things or are they just rolling them out here in particular right now? Personally I have one and I think they're great but I don't like letting a utility with a monopoly dictate to people about equipment on their own house so I'm pretty OK with PP having to eat their bullshit punitive fees. All the  about RADIATION is just stupid, though.
