Looks like the majority of Jewish organizations consulted on this supported the Nakba exhibit, it was just the squeaky wheel who got the attention.

It's a bold claim that a museum thought up by a famously Jewish head of a media empire to feature stuff about Jewish people and funded in part by the efforts of his Jewish sister is somehow not about Jewish people.

This is funnier if you know about the museum guides who had to censor their tours for groups who only wanted a tasting menu of human rights. To only learn about the people they think deserve rights and skip the rest, like those damned women and gays.

Depends if you're a Germanic incel or an Irish one.

I believe the eth is the soft 'th' like thought, where your tongue is behind/on your top teeth, while the thorn is the harder, tongue in front of your teeth sound in the.

Oh god. Had to look for that since I don't follow the com.

The guy fucked up but it's a dick move not to block his user name. And mine. I guess I can look forward to a week of angry incel trolls.

Just a heads up this story is over two months old. That said, here are some key points:

  • The accused, Kasper Lincoln, is officially titled "Barbie Jeep Driver."
  • Kasper Lincoln just wanted to get a slurpee and his license was suspended.
  • He was driving on the sidewalk until it ended.
  • He was arrested by an unmarked police car. A Ghost Car, if you will.
  • The lawyer has, among her certificates, a "Bad Ass Award" and a "DUI Defense" certificate. They're next to each other.
  • Kasper Lincoln did his hand signals and everything.

I'm way oversimplifying here:

Judges can only make decisions within their scope, the extent of the law, and on the evidence before them. They do have some jurisdiction within their court, like holding someone in contempt, but they can't convict when no charges have been laid.

Cops can be sued civilly, but since we're talking criminal law the charges would be determined by a crown. The problem is the whole criminal court process usually starts with cops arresting someone and presenting their reports, so good luck finding cops who will rat on a buddy. Or, a crown who wants to risk losing the cooperation of the police. I know one who moved to practice in another province after they went after an extremely corrupt detachment.

The CCLA has done a bunch of work taking up cases to hold cops accountable, but the whole judicial foundation isn't just cracked, it's crumbling. Ask any half decent crown, judge, or lawyer in private what they think of the police if you want to get stuck down a depressing rabbit hole.

User call-outs are (usually) bullshit, especially for someone who brings me as much genuine delight as the Thorn Guy.

I agree your post didn't fit the community, I get why you did it though, and think it's pretty awesome of you to defend someone else on principle. The mods just aren't trying.

You could start one on another instance. There aren't any rules against it.

In the greek tradition we will bring back the kynodesme.
