Wow. They reassembled the gun correctly to render it lethal, then charged her with lethal threat. That’s creative.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1519]Hmmm, if the same standard was applied universally, you must annually file a tax return, would there be anyone left in Portland for the peaceful protests?[/quote]
Well, to be fair, you don’t “HAVE” to file a tax return if you have no income. So there’s that.
I doubt you meant this, but I would say that an officer not filing tax returns is a really, really, big red flag that that officer is willing to exercise discretion around a lot of other rules.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)the Portland protests look mostly white, and officer Jackson said the white protesters had primarily caused some real problems for him.
At what point do we finally remove the cloak of “racial grievance” from protests like this and start knocking the white college students’ heads? I know that’s profiling, but I just watched video of Portland mayor ted Wheeler navigating the crowd and all the people yelling are white guys.
when does the black community say they don’t need this sort of help? Maybe they have and I’m on the wrong channel.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Thank you for posting. I listened to the whole thing. Impressive. Sad.

People will do what they will do.
Sounds to me like these “teens” made a bad set of choices. Their parents should be ashamed of themselves, but that’s asking too much these days.

Some of us speak football so well we can’t walk properly anymore. Go sell fandom somewhere else.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Think about this: if coronaviruses were so easy to vaccinate against that we could do a crash course for one brand new virus type, then why is the common cold so common?
Yes, vaccination will be a challenge.
If I were a bureaucrat throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at this vaccine initiative, I would be royally pissed that only 1 percent of trial participants are black. AAs are getting slammed hard by COVID due to location and cultural behaviors.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I don’t follow this sort of thing much and couldn’t have picked Chrissy out of a lineup, but that’s some funny stuff right there.
I was running some errands with my oldest (16) and he and I got to talking about what it was like when I was a teenager vs now. We concluded that the guys talk a LOT less about girls now, that locker room talk isn’t what it used to be, and that smart teenagers these days know that everything they do is being recorded. That last one is kinda sad if you ask me. Some of my best memories would likely get me in some trouble if they were tweeted at the time and findable now.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=1460]If football becomes a pay if you play sport, the rest of college athletics is doomed. Really interesting in a Title IX environment. Who do you pay on the women’s side? Hoops and what else?[/quote]
It would never fly because of title IX wrong-ness and also greed, but why not just pay based on the net revenue generated by the sport after its individual expenses and reasonable overhead?
If a women’s sport sustains itself and generates a profit, then pay.
It really isn’t that hard but we have to create a world of equal outcomes when the value of the input is vastly different between men and women.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I should have edited my comment on the revenue share. Instead of saying it was “ridiculous” I should have said that it was entirely reasonable but will be viewed as ridiculous by the NCAA and conference. I wrote too quickly.
I totally believe that big time football should be spun out of universities and treated as for profit clubs. All this stuff at Stanford about the athletic department not sharing the endowment essentially already does that. Football is one big for profit entertainment operation that the university reserves student admissions slots for because those students enrich the student population and experience, and they bring donors together. Just because the football teams profits are used to subsidize a bunch of other sports doesn’t mean it isn’t for profit.
____________________________________________________________
Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Good on ’em. The revenue share bit is ridiculous but the health insurance thing I fully endorse. The NCAA is subsidized heavily by private and I’m sure public health insurance. Honestly I’d say for football players the time limit should be more like a decade, but that’ll never happen.
A huge number of issues started to crop up for me once I lost the extreme skeletal stability that heavy muscles provided. At 28 I suddenly couldn’t climb stairs because as my legs lost muscles they became more “normally” aligned and that caused a ton of bone on bone issues. Subsequent surgery cleaned some of it up with an admonition by the doctor that I had a “60-year old knee and the activity level of a 28-year old.”
Now, is that the NCAA’s responsibility, the schools’, or the players’? We’ll never know. But I can guarantee you that the school doesn’t want an additional 6 X 25 people (assuming that ~25 people leave the football program every year) to provide insurance for in steady state. At today’s premiums that’s probably another 1.2 million bucks a year in round numbers. Multiply that by all member schools for the NCAA, and you can see the issue.
It’s all about the benjamins.
