Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Easy line: ACTUAL violence versus mere opinion -- even if urging violence.
I imagine the kind of place you're describing looking a lot like a redneck bar, and I already don't go to those places.
I have a new hobby: I pubcrawl through my whole town every Thursday. I go into each bar (including redneck ones and others where I'm not welcome), have a beer, and then yell "Common Law!!!" ten times in a row before staggering out.
Re: Re: I wouldn't worry about winding up on an Enemies List.
Five DBAs & a 3-shift team of IT guys maintaining a building-sized server farm vs. a cocktail napkin & golf pencil. Although, I suppose an Enemies List would finally be the sort of thing to put the NSA's Utah facility to a real test.
Maybe a psychological kill switch? The dispatcher could get on the radio and tell the cop that his cruiser was black or mentally ill. A lot of LEOs would kill the engine immediately without giving it a second thought.
somehow I can't believe something as small as just lying is going to get anyone in trouble.
Being this mind-numbingly bad at it might. Pai & Friends aren't exactly doing things with even the minimum competence their future corporate bosses expect from their underlings.
Since being staff disqualifies you from getting 'Most Insightful of the Year' when Dec 31 rolls around, it's nice that you could get yourself a little something to make up for it.

The fraud and conspiracy allegations in the lawsuit attempt to bridge the statutory gap that cruelly leaves butthurt unremedied.
Bridge it? Hell, they want to wipe away that gap entirely.

We should not legislate in haste, we should not use the mantra of 'something has to be done' as an excuse for creating new laws
I believe "it comes as something of shock" is just about the most culturally context-appropriate choice of words I've seen in quite a while.

Well, sometimes it is. Usually when it's followed by " - Is Threatened and Hounded Out of Department by Fellow Officers"
