It was predicted before it happened right here on Techdirt (I don’t have the time to dig up the specific comments) but I remember reading them, and agreeing with the post.
"Guidry's camcorder evidence from the attack can be seen in an upcoming FPTV Channel 17 special. WHEN GOOD GIRAFFES GO BAD will premier March 12 at 10pm after re-runs of the 2001 spectacular BILL HOOD CATCHES MORE FISH."

Because according to this document the USTR apparently believes that the point of 'Safe Harbor' is not the "Safe" (from unlawful actions) part but the "Harbor" (i.e. to Harbor a Criminal), requiring a penalty to be Protected from.
"Utah is not a state known for its legislative sanity. This, after all, is a state that recently made headlines for proposing to honor gun manufacturers on Martin Luther King Day and for considering the elimination of 12th grade to cut back on education spending.
Well, it just got a whole lot worse.
Utah just became the first state in the U.S. to criminalize miscarriage and punish women for having or seeking an illegal abortion. Utah's "Criminal Miscarriage" law:
expands the definition of illegal abortion to include miscarriages
removes immunity protections for women who have or seek illegal abortions
treats women as presumptive criminals and leaves them open to criminal prosecution
But even among states that punish illegal abortions, this "Criminal Miscarriage" law is unique. It not only punishes individuals who perform illegal procedures; it punishes women."
Unfortunately this is correct, it is actually against federal law to "bypass, defeat, or render inoperative" the emission control system on the car as originally equipped. The enforcement of that law is very spotty; it is usually up to the Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent) and/or the Department of Environmental Quality (or equivalent) of each individual state. Here in Oregon the DEQ Check is part of the vehicle registration process. The OBDII Diagnostics Check will tell them if it has been modified and on cars that don't have OBDII the actually look under the hood to check as well.
"people defending the school district" Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot Who would be that stupid? From what I have heard even the school district has been backpedaling and apologizing...
I have not read Nineteen Eighty-Four since High School. It is about time to delve once again into the Orwellian future/present to refresh my sense of indignation at "an attitude and a policy of control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation...". Oh Crap to late, our freedoms are already disappearing down the "Memory Hole"
"Compromised news outlet (like this website) keep pushing these insane news only to fabricate Iran hate idiots that will say YES to another war based on lies."
