Saying they got the right guy. (:


Yeah, but that’s what they said about the Unabomber.


I read the article, didn’t find the excerpt, then searched via CTRL-F for both ‘clothes’ and ‘handcuffed’ and got nada — six hours ago, but it’s there now. I envision hot, loud arguments over censorship at the <i>Times</i>, but more likely it was just a glitch.


I do not find the paragraph about cutting off Hernández’s clothes, taking pictures of him, then leaving him handcuffed and naked. Cut from the paper’s coverage after initial publication?


Read the article, to meet a genuine wingnut who ought to be disbarred instead of being AG.




Might tucker out after a few months, but I’ll at least start by checking every bill at the bank and asking for exchanges. “Give me currency without that scumbag’s signature, please.”


I do hope it’s not a competition.


People who don’t necessarily want a public record of their every purchase.


The Guardian is a bit better than average, but this “exclusive” is the same media bullshit seen everywhere — the pretense that Trump is a serious politician with serious thoughts and a serious agenda. He’s not, and the pretense is preposterous.


When a foreign nation drops bombs that kill your family, the proper response is to write a letter to the editor, or perhaps boycott products from the nation that killed everyone you love. I simply can’t understand why this guy didn’t write that letter and announce his boycott. So illogical.


Communism has killed literally BILLIONS of people, while capitalism helps build strong bodies 12 ways!


Fortunately, this will be the only instance of terrorism inspired by the ongoing war in Iran, he said sarcastically.


If your hopes rely on the Democratic Party, all is already lost.


It’s a chance to bring suffering and perhaps death to the weakest and most vulnerable, so there was little doubt how the Republican Supreme Court would rule.


The reporter fucked up, and it was published so Ars Technica fucked up too, but fuck-ups happen. The far bigger fuck-up is that Ars Technica hasn’t covered this story with a fraction of the tenacity they’d show if the fuck-ups had happened at, say, TechCrunch or Gizmodo.


The article doesn’t quite answer the headline’s question, so I will: Why are they prosecuting non-violent protesters? Because cops are cops, so local cops support ICE, and prosecutors are virtually always on the cops’ side. There is no-one in government who actually believes you have a right to peacefully protest, unless you luck into a judge who still has a soul.


Oh, I’m all the evil.


Gosh, another black woman Trump can’t respect. What are the odds!
This is a pittance — about $3,000 per victim, for having their life’s work copied and distributed to, effectively, anyone and everyone on Earth.
