Are you guys talking about the rapist who now goes by Allen Turner to avoid his reputation as the rapist Brock Turner?

Do you realize there are 5 cases already like this? Do you know why? Because this mistake is super common.

Do you realize that means this probably happened dozens of times a year before this recent change took effect? And that all those people in the past returned home with their ammo completely undetected by anyone, including themselves?

You know what something’s called when nobody even notices it happened?

Harmless. Absent of harm.

You see how it says “illegal” there? In smuggling cases there has to be this other thing called “intent” for it to have been illegal.

If a Mexican gets some codeine at a Mexican pharmacy, forgets it in their bag, and flies into the USA we don’t pay tax money to imprison them for years. We take it, ban them, and send them back.

Why? Because they are careless, not smugglers.

No, it isn’t.

You keep using that word. It isn’t smuggling, it is forgetting a round of ammo in a bag. Your view on this is extreme. There is nuance in the world…

I didnt say it wasn’t irresponsible and I didnt say give them a pass. I said don’t give them years in prison for an honest harmless mistake. Maybe ban them from returning? Something less extreme…

This is the dumbest take. Most crimes require an element of intent. Using the same bag you use to take shooting or hunting is not intent to smuggle weapons. The quantities of the items found demonstrate no ill intent.

Just because you personally disagree with the 100 million gun owners doesn’t make this a moderate take. Imprisoning people for years because of a loose round in luggage is moronic politically and a waste of tax money.

I’m pretty libertarian but I’ve also seen the spray paint section of Home Depot so no thanks

A police officer recently got scared by a falling acorn thinking it was a gunshot. He then mag dumped dozens of rounds into his own squad car thinking it was the man he had in custody (handcuffed, searched for weapons already, and trapped inside).

Luckily he struck with police precision. Meaning he missed every single shot and the guy was unharmed physically. Now he quit his job due to public ridicule.

This meme jokes by extending the conspiracy theories around Taylor swift to include dropping the acorn.

If you’re willing to commit outright fraud, lots of crime is easy. But also the penalty for ever being discovered can be severe.

They also didn’t deny it happened. They would check logs before paying out.

Let them come

Because everything you said is bullshit

Oh honey it’s not real

To be fair if you’re gonna use a measure like “scores” in 2023 you’re inviting criticism for using it incorrectly.

A score is 20 so 24 hostages is not “scores”.

I haven’t followed the effect of this particular shock on gas prices but generally with any supply shock it’ll depend on the magnitude and duration of the shock. The bigger the damage and longer it takes to repair means less gas delivered in the same time period.

If the shock is big and/or long (giggity), then I’d expect it to affect anywhere in Europe gas can be redirected from.

Energy is a global market.

If gas prices increase sufficiently where the pipeline gas is consumed, some suppliers that supply the UK may consider rerouting gas supply to capture the increased price and profit. This means less supply for the UK which increases prices there also until there’s a balance. Higher prices mean people will use less gas until the supply in each area is enough to meet demand.

Agree with this. Also the US is definitely not monocultural either, despite the desires of our loudest countrymen.

You know what people are a majority of the world? Women. Women are people.
