You know I’m on about the ‘protest’ group that commits criminal damage, burglary and GBH on masse in the UK, not the conflict between a terrorist group and The state of Israel. You know, that protest group that causes significant disruption and ties up countless resources.

 

You also know I’m laughing at your response, not the conflict itself. 
 

Come on Mac, do better. 

I know that now that you've actually deigned to communicate it, yes. 

 

But pardon me for highlighting the obvious and rather stark moral inconsistency at howling at a group engaged in some criminal activity in the UK and apparent apathy for the issue that they highlight and the people suffering because of it, which is the aforementioned death of at least 50000 innocent people with the counter ticking up every day.

Pam Bondi’s performance at the house judiciary committee the other day was spectacularly unhinged. What a psychopath. 

Reminder: Nixon didn't do time, but his Attorney General did.

We don’t talk about events over there because it leads to problems

 

we can more safely discuss events over here. 

 

I read some analyses of the judgment and wouldn’t surprise me if the govt won an appeal.

Another reason I was careful with my language too, yes. 

 

For what it's worth I think criminal acts are criminal acts and need to be addressed accordingly, I just find it interesting that in some cases the actions of these groups are considered to exist in some kind of geopolitical and environmental vacuum where their actions are hugely noteworthy and the issue itself is not. The same thing was true of Extinction Rebellion.

It's very important to worship enormous corporate greed  and the pathetic politicians that represent it.

Yes often doesn't seem to align with sense of natural justice

It's very true that the justice systems that civilisation has built and refined tend not to align with the individual sense of "natural justice" that existed before it. 

 

And I'm guessing that's most likely because such "natural justice" tended (and tends) to have rather more blood and intestines being spilled over the floor than today's civilisation is really comfortable with. 

 

The idea of natural justice tends to sound good in principle, and some times in practice too. But the other times... not so much.

I think sometimes the system is almost too dispassionate. Personally I'm against capital punishment for example but equally some sentences baffle me as far too soft

I think it has to be dispassionate because every other option tried is worse, but I know what you mean here.

Anyone else been watching Devil in Disguise.

 

About John Wayne Gacy Jr.

 

Now, you see, that's someone who truly deserves to be in here.

So Trump has eventually fired Noem. The new sycophant at Homeland Security is called Markwayne Mullin,, so doubt there will be too much change there. 

Ah, yes, the man shown looking like a rabbit in the headlights in the Capitol on January 6th 2021, scared of a coup attempt he freely encouraged:
