I originally read that as “pee-encounter basis”.
Although I’m not sure how that impacts their level of “common sense”, which is notoriously not the same thing as academic achievement. A “socially promoted” academically backward nine-year-old (or high schooler, for that matter) is not necessarily going to have less ordinary common sense than an academically high-achieving classmate.
There’s an entire fetish devoted to watching people pee. Or shit. Or do gross things with their pee and shit. It’s all over (adult, legal, where the performers consent) p()rn sites. And of course, you’re aware that there are people who are into sexualizing children. Venn Diagram, and all that.
Harris’ license had been reinstated years prior and was only registering as suspended due to a clerical error. As of this writing, there has been no spate of additional articles, corrections, or a reinvigorated news cycle based around this information, because the truth here doesn’t lend itself to virality and engagement.
That explains why the guy was so nonchalant about driving to the doctor and stunned speechless when told he had no license; it was false.
But he must have known that he was calling in for a Zoom court session? Calling in before parking the car is wrong. (I’ve called into meetings from my car, but I do so when parked.)
Agreed, participating in a court case while driving isn’t okay under any circumstances. That part was dumb, if mildly so.
I don’t consider driving while on a phone to be mildly stupid. It’s distracted driving and can potentially kill people.
It’s not false. His license was still suspended.
Steve Lehto, a lawyer doing YouTube, did several videos on the case, including this one about an article which claimed it was “fake news.”
He explained that getting a license reinstated is not easy. The courts clear people to allow them to get their license reinstated, but then the people need to go to the Secretary of State department, pay a $125 fee to actually get it done.
So, although he had been cleared in 2022 to get his license to be reinstated, it hadn’t.
Steve suspects that the person mistakenly thought that after the judge cleared him in 2022, he thought he was all good to go, but then he didn’t take the necessary steps.
However, the important thing is that he would have been given notice to appear in court on such and such a date and time, the notice would have said this charges, which was driving on a suspended license.
He would not have first heard the charges on the zoom call.
There were things he could have done differently, including talking to his public defender, but nevertheless he would have known before the call what the charges were.
I was packing up on the final leg of a cross-European trip and realized that my Field Notes bag that carried a pocket sketchbook, a tiny pencil and skinny 003 markers also had three X-Acto blades in it. And I’d been blithly carrying them around since I’d walked through US security on the first leg of my journey weeks before.
I ditched them in Redacteditzenburg, a small mountain village that I’m sure the TSA will never find.
Jackass father rushes the stage at high school graduation to remove African-American school official from the receiving line just before his daughter will shake hands with the officials
(go to about 1:09:20 to see the incident in the video - the kid with the beard receives his diploma just before the daughter)
Here’s a version that you can watch with an ad blocker enabled:
Law enforcement is involved in the investigation, presumably this would be assault.
The graduating daughter looks less than thrilled to have her dad pull this stunt.
Baraboo, you might remember, was the place where about 50 seniors posed for a group Nazi salute back in 2018.
Oh yes I remember that, I didn’t realize it was the same place.
Clearly they have a problem there.
Right. And it starts with the letter “R” and ends with “acism.”
“Pantless Florida Man Crashes Into Jail Spews Anti-Trump Hate, Throws Snakes” kind of epitomizes the Florida Man ethos.
Sadly, his attorney will find it difficult to mount an insanity defense due to his client’s reported anti-Trump remarks, as they tend to establish a sound state of mind.
So my first, and only really, question is, “Why no pants? Did he have underwear on?”
Everything else seems perfectly normal for florida. And I say that having lived in the Tampa area for 20 years.
Really? That’s the odd part? Because if I lived in that hot, humid hellhole, I’d wear as little as I could.
I always thought the people in Carl hiaasen’s book were too insane to be true. Then y’all link to real lives that would be considered too insane for a hiaasen book.
