Then you realize that for a huge part of the population that IS unironically so and you reach for the bottle…

It would be fitting if a bunch of Knights Who Say Ni turned up at his court hearings to say “Ni” at him. Perhaps with herrings and a shrubbery. But only if it can be made clear they oppose his use of their name.

“You see, the Holocaust was horrible evil scary, kind of like the devil and hell, so what a great scary theme for a holiday float! Freddy Kreuger, eat your heart out!”

“What do you mean, That’s Offensive? It’s just good clean halloween fun.”

Sadly, that probably not an exaggeration of his thought process. Or a lot of other Americans’.

Human stupidity has no bounds. I’m sure the people in that community know if this Galen Shelly character is a Nazi enthusiast or a dimwitted mope. If had to put money down, I’d go for mope, but the alternative wouldn’t be a surprise.

I hope the guy gets a long sentence. Mid-article it said her car was previously held up by masked men in Chiapas. It takes a lot to fend off nutjobs like that.

The one organization in the world that might be even more corrupt than Donald Trump is giving him a participation trophy.

See, now FIFA should do him the great honor of putting his full-size face on the game ball. Ratings would skyrocket because everyone would want to see those guys kick that thing, and scoring would go up because the guys in the long underwear would not want to get orange stains on their hands.

If I was President of Mexico or PM of Canada, I’d be pissed. “We are hosting, too! Where’s our peace prize???”

I receive the daily Seattle Times “Morning Brief” email where they link to the day’s biggest news, features, traffic, and op-eds. This op-ed thankfully was not mentioned. The piece is ludicrous, with statements that make zero sense and have nothing to back them up. For once, the comment section is full of reasoned responses pointing out the ridiculousness of the arguments.

For people outside the area: the Seattle Times is a reasonably centrist newspaper.

17-year-old who pled no contest to several criminal counts, including rape, walks with a sentence of counseling and community service.

The article leaves the impression that the light “sentence” was a consequence of the state’s juvenile offender law - but it appears that a hefty prison term is still possible under the law.

[We are reminded that](https://www.ok-criminal-defense.com/juvenile-sex-crimes) “These acts are not excusable; however, they are typically motivated by peer pressure, a lack of impulse control, a failure to recognize the severity of the offense, a lack of understanding of the nature of the law, and relaxed inhibitions fueled by alcohol or drug use.” 🤔 🤢
