    Mother arrested for letting child walk to the store

    Fascinating. My elementary school was two miles from home. Routinely starting in first grade we would walk or bike there. We had a creek behind our house. We might ice skate in the winter over to a park three miles away as the crow flies and five miles by car. By the time i was in fourth grade we moved. Town was five miles away. We would bike in when we had a few coins to get some candy. By the time I was in sixth grade i had taken up collecting coins. One saturday with my parents blessing we (a buddy and me) road our bikes into town. We boarded a bus for Milwaukee and went to the train station. we rode a train to chicago and then walked to a coin shop. We then returned. No parents involved. Nobody thought anything of it. In the summers we might be gone and out of supervision from morning until dinner time and after dinner until dark. Times change I guess. I know my daughters, for instance, where never left unsupervised for an instant until they were 122 or so and then, rarely. Once thye could drive they had to check in upon reaching their destinations. Of course they are daughters. had i had a son I probzbly would have let him run feral.

    He looks like a bleeder. Some guys faces nearly explode in streaming blood when they get punched. He looks like one of those.

    As I said in the other thread on this, the nomination did serve to get him out of the House and so unable to try to lead another Speaker overthrow. That seems a good thing.Now as far as AG, well I simply do not want him for AG if there are unanswered, and indeed unasked questions about his integrity. If, as he says, he is innocent, he should meet this thing head on. He should ask for release of the report and he should address its contents. The air needs to be cleared. Is that a bit unfair if the report is some partisan hit job, sure, but the allegations are now lingering malodorously in the air anyhow.

    Looks like there may be other examples as well. Murtha, for instance. Interesting. Well if there is not precedent that this is never done I say go with that. Let's release this and wallow in the sordid details. Me, I love sordid details as long as they are not about me and become known to my wife.

    Thank you. I only have the vaguest memory of Boner, and only becasue your link jogged my memory. I think I will take a moment or two to refresh my memory. Regardless, it is clear we both believe that Gaetz, like Lucy Ricardo, has got some 'splaining to do.

    If this leads MDC to requiring me to get a background check before I can buy a 16 ounce claw hammer I am going to be pissed.

    I am unaware of it having been done before on a member who has retirerd from the House prior to the release of the file. That I am unaware does not mean it has not been done, but only that I am unaware of it. Do you have a link. I would happily explore it to educate myself. Regardless, I think he ought to be prepared to answer some very probing questions. If the minority party wishes to confront him with witness stadtements, sworn affidavits from the lawyers for the accuseres I think that should occur. I want all concerned under oath and under the penalty of perjury and at risk for defamation suits.

    I presume i am not clearing an urban area alone. I would want someone in my squad or on my team to be able to reach out and touch someone at distance. i like the Sako for that chambered in .338 Lapua. Others would certainly like .50 to at least deal with non armored vehicles. I was only speaking as to what I might want to carry, not what I would want those with me to have. My choice is now predicated on the fact that I am old and no longer confident I can hit something beyond 600 yards consistently. My eyesight is going and my hands are not steady anymore. I did take an antelope this year at 500 yards so i can still shoot a bit, but that antelope was not going to shoot back if I missed.

    I do not think the House should set new precedent by releasing the investigatory file. I do believe Gaetz should be questioned about the major allegations at a confirmation hearing. He ought to be prepared for such questioning. I do believe he should not be a recess appointment. We need answers. Also, while I do not believe the top law enforcement officer in the country needs to be as pure and above reproach as ceasar's wife, I do believe he or she ought to be nearly so. The legitimacy of the Office in the eyes of the people needs to be maintained.

    I might go with the MP 5 due to my familiarity with it. Alternatively I like the AA 12 shotgun. Regardless, for urban warfare i would not go with a rifle, a carbine maybe, but not a rifle.

    I would argue that one should be able to possess all of the weaponry that an infantry soldier can carry or use. The intent of the second amendment was that the people could rise up against tyranical government and be equally armed against those government agents. Further, at the time of the adoption the Constitution also allowed for privateers to be granted letters of marque and reprisal. Basically we understood that ship of war could be in private hands and we not only tolerated that, but encouraged them, through the letters, to attack and capture enemy ship of war. Now I would agree that in our technological age the second amendment has become anachronistic, but you don't throw it away. If it has become anachronistic you amend or revoke it through the Constitutional process, not through nibbling away at it through legislation or court fiat.

    Because most folks don't enjoy the wet work as much as do I.
  17. For an infraction I voluntarily undertook I would expect nothing. That is the chance I took. for being wrongfully convicted had I not violated any law I would expect legal defense costs, lost wages, compensation for lost consortium with my spouse and lost parenting time with my children, and for general pain and suffering and perhaps exemplary damages as well. Legal Defense ....$50,000 Lost wages .....$800,000 Lost consortium ....say 600 times each valued above what Matt Gaetz was paying so say $1000 per time for a total of $600,000 Lost parenting opportunity .... well at least equal to lost consortium time so say another $600,000 General pain and suffering of confinement, bad food, boredom, poor and unsanitary living conditions, possibility of rape and beatings say $800,000 absent assault and rape and add in $50,000 per each assault and $1,000,000 for each rape. Me, I' pretty capable so may only assualted oncve and folks learn their lesson and no rapes so say a total, for me, of $850,000. Exempalary damages so it does not occur again to others, say another $1.000,000. Mayber a total of around $3,300,000. Though I would hold out for more.
  18. Sure. I am simply curious as to the toal amount of this restitution. To my memory some 1400 charges have been filed and some 500 convictions obtained were folks have served or are serving jail time. Also there has been probation and house arrest for some others. I am guessing once the subject of restitution is broached that each sentenced individual who served jail time will make a compelling argument that it was unpleasant and that the compensation should be substantial. I just want some picture of the total amount. Will it be millions,billions, tens of billions?
  19. I am cvurious if there is a total dollar figure.

  21. Curious, what do you think would be resonable restitution? How much per case, or peer days served in jail? How much is that in total for all the convicted?Would we add back legal fees spent on defense as well? How much would that amount to?

    Trump has been found guilty, but until he is sentenced his trial is not yet complete and therefore he is technically not yet a convicted felon. It is a minor technicality in some ways, in others quite important since the judge can set aside the jury's verdict.
