Yes. Once a SovCit buys into the idea that government is just a mafia or a con, their right to shoot DMV clerks is fully enshrined in their mind just as it was in New Texas. And they can and will act on their deluded ideas. Not many as a percentage, but when enough nutters are running around, it only takes a few to create tragedy.
The author was H. Beam Piper and the book is Lone Star Planet. For me Piper ranks up there in the top five sci-fi authors. I have three favorite short stories and one of his is one of them. It’s He Walked Around the Horses. The other two are The Man Who Traveled in Elephants. bu Heinlein, and a story by Spider Robinson, True Minds.
Make Italy Great Again? Same-sex parents are losing their rights and it’s the same bigoted nonsense happening in the USA. I guess everyone is trying the MAGA formula for quick political growth with no guardrails.
Woman charged in fatal shove of vocal coach. As the article indicates, she knew she’d done something wrong and immediately tried to scrub her history and leave the area. It’s the random violence that makes me despair sometimes.
Apparently she didn’t just shove someone out of her way because she was impatient or something, she crossed the street, shouted obscenities at the vocal coach (an 87-year-old woman) before shoving her to the ground where she hit her head. So it doesn’t sound like random violence, even though no motive has been revealed. She pleaded guilty to first degree manslaughter, which sounds like a plea deal down from something like 2nd degree murder.
You’re right. I called it “random” because there didn’t seem to be any motive to the crime or connection between the victim and perpetrator. Maybe that’s not accurate.
This AP article has a little bit of info, and we can at least speculate:
Pazienza, who’d had several glasses of wine earlier while celebrating a milestone in her wedding countdown, was upset because the park in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood was closing and she and her fiance were told to leave, prosecutors said.
In an interview with police, Pazienza’s fiance said she told him about the episode and said Gustern “might have said something” to her, although she wasn’t sure.
So to me it sounds like a combination of alcohol consumption, being in an extremely shitty mood because she was kicked out of a park, and the old lady being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Basically, Bridezilla run amok.
The author was H. Beam Piper, I think the story was Lone Star Planet.
Now that Bronny James on-court cardiac arrest has been linked to a congenital heart defect, regret and embarrassment will undoubtedly cause Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, Elon Musk and the horde of antivaxers who jumped on the story to blame Covid vaccination to apologize, especially to the James family.
Sure they will.
Nah, they’ve got it covered; the vaccine exacerbates heart conditions, yeah, thats the ticket!
‘In the presence of a 5G signal the graphene oxide in the vaccine can send mRNA backwards in time to alter you’re genome before you were borned!’
Asking for a friend. Is it enough to just have a 5G phone or do I need to live close to a 5G tower? If this is my big chance to finally be 6 foot 3 and weigh 215 pounds, I’m intrigued.
The terrific thing about 5G is that it actually causes Covid-19.
Just stand under a 5G tower and you’ll catch a big-time case of Covid, giving you Natural Immunity for life!
So Biden’s plan to extend wi-fi everywhere is also going to expand COVID immunity? Genius!
Some twitterer says if its congenital, that means LeBron had to have had it too. Thats not correct, right?
Isn’t that a fancy word for a dildo?
Congenital = born with it.
Hereditary = genetic.
Not the same.
They’re desperate to believe that! Weird. I thought anyone could be born with a congenital problem( I was) but its not inherited.
Why can’t they figure that out?
People are dumb.
