And if she did not commit rioting she should be found "Not Guilty", that's how the legal system works...... and if the lawsuit was frivolous or wrongful, those responsible should be charged appropriately.
I don't have facebook, so can't see video. Sounds like the original trespass charge was an open/shut case but there might not be enough evidence of rioting.
It's still trespass if a journalist does it. They don't have any extra rights as an individual than any other citizen.
It's why Paparazzi aren't allowed on a celeb's property, and hang from trees on the street to get a better view- or rent space overlooking their homes. If they could they would sneak onto their property legally.
What if you were covering a protest as a journalist?
Sounds like she wasn't charged with being in a protest, which is a legal activity. She was charged with trespassing and rioting. Admittedly, I haven't read the article, but if she was trespassing on someone's property she deserves to be arrested. Journalists don't have legal rights to trespass. If someone were doing a story on you, they wouldn't be able to march in your house and sneak under your bed.
Similarly, rioting is not protesting. If you start acting violent or start destroying property you are no longer within the confines of the law, regardless of whether you are a journalist. Journalists don't and shouldn't have diplomatic immunity, they should have to follow the same laws as everyone else.
Thank you, I was too lazy to read the article and figured there had to be more to this story. It almost made me read the original article. Now I don't have to.
Yeah, if I robbed a bank as part of a gang and told the police that I was only along for the ride as a journalist and should be immune from charges, I kinda expect they'd not let me go. Can't feel too sorry for the journalist if she was actively trespassing.
As an immigrant, I'm willing to bet there is a 95% chance that they have a sample of my DNA secretly on record. There's probably better than evens chance of over 50% of the rest of the population being collected somehow.
How will the AI interpret "Banging the mistress in Ibiza" as a calendar entry for October 28th? What sick, twisted way shall it use that entry to torture humanity?
It happens everywhere, or, ALMOST everywhere. You only hear about it in the media in some countries. Or the government is not held accountable and expected to be spying on the citizens in some countries.
Just for the record, for when Deep Mind conquers all of humanity, I would like it officially known that I love Deep Mind and would never be part of the resistance.
My numbers aren't wrong, although they are the highest of the 4 organisations that estimate that kind of crap. The lowest estimate is $68B per year. I'm sure you will note that that is also a huge percent of their budget.
Russia could be a very wealthy country; they're strategically located with lots of resources, a decent population size, but they're plagued with high levels of corruption and leaders who care more about the military than the populace.
Of course they don't spend as much as the US, nobody does. The US accounts for almost 50% of the entire world's military budget. However, as a % of total GDP the US, whilst high, is still just a fraction of the % of GDP Russia spends on the military. Instead of becoming a modern nation, taking better care of their people, they're pissing all their money away on their military. The US has so much more money than Russia to begin with.
Only one other nation, besides the US, spends more on the military than Russia, and that's China. Another nation with much more money than Russia, and despite spending more, they still spend a much lower % of GDP.
The average life expectancy for a Russian man today is 64 (it is a little over 70 for women though). That's piss-poor by western standards. Russia would do well to get rid of Putin and his hawkish colleagues and instate someone who cares about the people and the world more than he does shaking his dick around at other nations.
And in the west democracy mean to let the globalist elite decide your destiny... or did the Europeans and Swedes actually wanted it this way? Really? Have anyone asked?
Sweden's main concern is about getting naked in the sauna. If the globalist elite ever get in the way of getting naked in the sauna they will rise against them.
Hopefully if it comes to war against Russia we'll have something better to fire at them than Hot Pockets, although based on the candidates for 2016 I'm not filled with confidence.
Part of the reason they are a power despite having a GDP smaller thant the United Kingdom is also part of the reason their GDP is smaller than the United Kingdom in the first place:
They spend a disproportionate amount on military, $98 billion annually. (more than any other European nation)
This combined with the fact that a lot of their neighbours are military light-weights, they have more nuclear weapons than anyone else, and they have an aggressive dictator (posing as elected) who has already invaded two sovereign neighbours and annexed their territory does indeed make them a threat to world peace.
Meanwhile, in Poland, they are developing a charcoal powered weapon. It's not as effective as Russia's microwave weapon, but the drones taste better afterwards.
You're absolutely right. This has soured me to Yahoo even more than I was before. Not only do they make terrible decisions, they lie to the consumer and act like they think we're fools.
Unless the WiFi kettle can turn my phone, or wifi PC into a tea dispensing entity, I don't want it. It would be nice to have a tea button on my phone that pours freshly brewed tea out the headphone jack...... obviously this wouldn't work with an iPhone.
Meaning censorship, sharing data on dissidents, funnel money into China and not take any out, agree to let the state quietly execute any employees who speaks bad about the leadership.
The sad thing is, despite our bad full-time employement statistics, we're still doing better than most of the developed world with full-time and part-time employment figures. The world is a lot different place than what our parents and grandparents grew up in. Everyone having a full-time job might not be a reasonable expectation anymore.
What's the solution? Do we need a new "new-deal"? Obviously, such a suggestion would not bode well for people centre and rightwards.
It's interesting, part of the justification for Communism was that automation was eventually going to make it so that there was not enough jobs for everyone. Turns out they were right, just jumped the gun 60 years. Problem with communism is it sucks and drags almost everyone into poverty. So what's the solution? Micro-managed hybrid states like modern China? Basic income for all? A new "new-deal", pay people to do things that the economy isn't directly driving just to keep them employed?
There's not really an ideal path yet.
I always thought it ridiculous on sci-fi shows like Star Trek (yes, I know it's fiction), that such an advanced ship would require such a huge crew when the computer was so advanced and could probably fly the ship better by itself. Now I understand why they had such a big crew... busywork to keep more people employed and artificially deflate the unemployment figures.

Should be compulsory everywhere, and subject to checks by independent reviewers. Helps prevent police abuse AND false accusations against the police.
As an immigrant, I'm willing to bet there is a 95% chance that they have a sample of my DNA secretly on record. There's probably better than evens chance of over 50% of the rest of the population being collected somehow.
You think they don't already have a sample of your DNA?

The US has got involved in wars it shouldn't but has not recently annexed any territory. Russia has done so... twice with their current dictator.

Ah, but Politics and Ideology are frequently just frameworks regarding resource allocation.

"Moses Bar" would have been even better!
They're pretty good about product safety. They had a mold problem a while back.
Was the mold green?
Disney is already making a film based on this microstate;
ASS-GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
I suspect North Korea won't respect the wishes of Assguard any more than they currently respect the wishes of the US, EU, Japan, SK, etc.
