What became of the legislation that was proposed to allow the restaurant owners to decide how much of the tips go to the servers? IRIC that was proposed as a means to relieve restaurant and bar owners of the burden of having to pay a higher minimum wage...

In the USA? That part of the act appears to have been changed to explicitly prohibit companies from taking tips (second bullet point down).

"white devil"

You been watching too many 70s flicks, son.

Even better, in attempting to be reasonable you compare them to an animal protection organisation.

The irony is very, very thick.

Once you remove the stick that's up your ass, look at this:

"When the tragic shooting of Trooper Dermyer happened right here in my own city and it directly impacted my community," said Capps. "I took it personally. I wanted to do something about it."

And so the 16-year-old conservative blogger, who has interned with national news outlets like Fox News, decided to organize a Blue Lives Matter rally.

Critics of the rally point to the recent Black Lives Matter movement that spawned in response to the killings of young black men at the hand of white officers. They took offense and slammed Emma as a "White Devil" on social media.

or any other results that google will give you for "black lives matter white devil".

Also apparently you don't know what irony means.

Would've figured it was higher due to being closer to the equator. The high for a U.S. city (i.e. not Death Valley) is 128 F (53 C). Several cities matched or exceeded 121 F during that heat wave. Yeah, India tends to have more humidity than Arizona, but a quick check of the weather in Phalodi says today's humidity is 11%, indicating it's also a desert-like environment.

Couple points, that decision was flawed. It is well documented that it was one of the worse Supreme Court cases in history. And likely staged...Neither the defendants nor their legal counsel appeared at the Supreme Court. A lack of financial support and procedural irregularities prevented counsel from traveling.[4] Miller was found shot to death in April, before the decision was rendered.[5]

So imagine using as precedent a case that was never even defended against. So what were the precedents established?

1.The Second Amendment protects only the ownership of military-type weapons appropriate for use in an organized militia.

2.The "double barrel 12-gauge Stevens shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches in length, bearing identification number 76230" was never used in any militia organization.

The situation with Miller is even worse than this:

The Peculiar Story of United States v. Miller

2. Our military now regularly uses short barreled shotguns in door-to-door operations. As such, short barreled rifles would now have to be legal sans the tax stamp.

And even back in the day it was an incorrect decisions as: During WWI, between 30,000 and 40,000 short-barreled pump-action shotguns were purchased by the US Ordnance Department and saw service in the trenches and for guarding German prisoners.

However although there are charges essentially relating to misuse of police resources and abuse of his position. There are no charges relating to planting of evidence with regards to the 2 cases of child porn and cannabis where the defendants were cleared. However if there were such charges then you would have to assume that any cases brought by his department may be tainted and that is a massive can of worms to open.

Not mentioned on the forums:

• The wood was 10mm boards declared as 6mm veneer to clear customs in the US. Veneer is peeled with minimal waste, boards are sawed with large waste (kerf + parts of the trunks with not enough material for full boards). 6mm veneer of the species in question is legal to import, 10mm boards aren't due to Lacey act.
• The export declaration for Indian customs stated that the shipment was finished parts of musical instruments instead of raw material. The finished parts are perfectly legal to ship, the raw material in the form of 10mm boards isn't (anything above 6mm veneer is illegal to export).
• Gibson tried to conceal both the destination and the source of the shipment by going through several several middlemen (one AG in Germany, one company in California, one person in Tennessee).
• The shipment was caught by customs when entering the US, then released to find out who was the final consignee of the wood.
