Fines are often a punishment for crimes. More common than incarceration at any rate. It’s not like you only have to pay in court as the result of a lawsuit. Anyone who has has a speeding ticket can attest to that.
For felonies, like sexual assault? I hope not. In any case, criminal fines wouldn’t go to victims, would they?
Correct, they’d only collect through lawsuits (which you alluded to before, as part of a civil case).
This is yet another case of children being used for dangerous work. I could understand (but not condone, obviously) one instance of it. People will slip through the cracks and mistakes will happen. But this many? And at the same facility, according to the article? That’s just deliberate malfeasance, greed, or carelessness.
Letting children clean head splitters, jaw pullers, and neck clippers at night: what could go wrong?
They’ll start necking?
A raw milk supplier, upset that its products are being pulled from the market due to the presence of bird flu, is calling it a “political issue”.
Guess that goes for recalls of E. coli-contaminated quarter-pounders and Listeria-containing ice cream too - it’s all political.
Thank goodness the Trump administration won’t allow persecution of honest businessmen. Let the market decide!

I guess Michael Swango is a political prisoner
Well, he was born in Tacoma – what more need be said?
That woman was never, so far as I know, described as “innocent”. She was crazy. And also not Haitian.
Ouch!
There’s something beautiful about how moments of tragedy can really bring Americans together.
CNN says it wasn’t a CitiBike after all, so this is probably a dead end.
Must confess I’m curious why that person is so invested in Citibike data.
He says in the thread he was doing a “data visualization experiment”.
I’m going to assume he’s a student of some sort and he has been given special access to their data, because if any private citizen can just track the locations of rental bikes while they’re in use that sounds like a serious problem.
Just going to mention: it’s been 404’d now but The Times of Israel ran an op-ed piece unironically titled “Lebensraum Needed For Israel’s Exploding Population”.
WTAF.
I’d hope that someone would’ve captured and archived that.
Bit of chat on Reddit about it, with a screenshot of the title. Apparently it’s a blog that goes off on a pro-Russia tangent but does advocate for expansion into “Judah and Samaria”.
Here you go:
Strange article. Israel is only mentioned in the first two paragraphs; the rest is about global population density, immigration and climate change. The writer, Dan Ehrlich, is an American blogger whose politics seem right-wing but not far-right, although that’s just from skimming his articles.
Something is very fishy here.
