I didnt say it wasn’t irresponsible and I didnt say give them a pass. I said don’t give them years in prison for an honest harmless mistake. Maybe ban them from returning? Something less extreme…

This is the dumbest take. Most crimes require an element of intent. Using the same bag you use to take shooting or hunting is not intent to smuggle weapons. The quantities of the items found demonstrate no ill intent.

Just because you personally disagree with the 100 million gun owners doesn’t make this a moderate take. Imprisoning people for years because of a loose round in luggage is moronic politically and a waste of tax money.

I’m pretty libertarian but I’ve also seen the spray paint section of Home Depot so no thanks

A police officer recently got scared by a falling acorn thinking it was a gunshot. He then mag dumped dozens of rounds into his own squad car thinking it was the man he had in custody (handcuffed, searched for weapons already, and trapped inside).

Luckily he struck with police precision. Meaning he missed every single shot and the guy was unharmed physically. Now he quit his job due to public ridicule.

This meme jokes by extending the conspiracy theories around Taylor swift to include dropping the acorn.

If you’re willing to commit outright fraud, lots of crime is easy. But also the penalty for ever being discovered can be severe.

They also didn’t deny it happened. They would check logs before paying out.

Here’s the study. If you don’t have access many articles that reference and describe it are only a Google search away:

It’s still a significant net gain because of the energy conversion efficiency of both EVs and large scale power generation. It also reduces pollution in densely populated areas which improves citizen health.

Still, they should clean their grid ASAP, but they are deploying solar faster than anyone else and it’s not close.

 

Given the fact that communities with the same or similar names exist on multiple instances, it would be nice to have an indication of which one(s) I’m already subscribed to when they appear in search results.
