If anyone thinks that parts from a consumer device are obviously not a threat, go find an Iraqi/Afghan vet and ask them what sort of parts detonators of improvised explosive devices are sometimes made from.
Until they ask you where the explosive is that the wires are hooked up to, and after that, when they ask you what kind of moron you are.
This suit in effect penalizes student for the actions of staff.
You mean it penalizes the districts insurance company. Big difference. And if enough insurance companies started threatening districts and police departments with higher premiums, if they don't reign in their fuckstickery, then maybe fewer districts and cops would be full of fucksticks?
Nah. Let's cry crocodile tears for "the taxpayers". 'Murica.
if he did not comply with the principal's demands and if he was wrong he could lose his job. The arresting officer was in a "damned if you do damned if you don't" scenario.
That dog also don't hunt, unless the principal has a side job as the chief of police. And, as was reported from day one, the cops never thought it was a bomb, as they never treated it as a bomb. They didn't call out the bomb squad, and the transported "the device" in the same car as "the suspect".
Cops were inexcusably incompetent, no matter which way you slice it.
To me it is worth $2K max.
If that's the price you set on your Constitutional rights, no wonder the government feels so free to violate them.
Perhaps sue for a reasonable amount? Maybe a few thousand plus court costs?
Maybe an utterly meaningless sum that will do nothing whatsoever to compel other districts not to get their xenophobic paranoid authoritarianism on, much less the district that committed it in this instance?
Suing for $15M takes money away from insurance companies
FTFY. The constant hand-wringing over "oh noes, the taxpayers" is more obnoxious when it's the insurance company that's going to be footing the bill. But even if it were "the sainted taxpayers" on the hook directly, if that's the only way change will be effected, so be it. You think Democrats would be "ready for Hillary" if there was a $3,000 line item on their 1040's for the Iraq War?
Fuck that. The cops and the school knew full well it wasn't a bomb, yet interrogated him for hours and pressured him to sign a confession. And treated him like a bad seed just because he didn't roll over for the authoritarians.
If municipalities had to fork out for their dumbfuckery, their racism, or their racist dumbfuckery on a more regular basis, then they would week out racist dumbfucks from positions of power.
At least you didn't cry a river for "for the taxpayers", when it's the insurance companies who are the front lines of paying out settlements.
Until Islam chills the fuck out this will continue.
Islam isn't busy murdering people with robot planes in Central American, on the other side of the planet from where they live. Islam didn't bomb two hospitals in two months. Islam hasn't overthrown democracies around the planet.
Like keyboard shortcuts? Users don't use 99% of them, either. But how would you make a three finger swipe obvious to new users without some sort of telepathy module?
Then think about the fact that FDR was the Chief Executive responsible for the internment. Then, consider what an adored liberal icon FDR has been made into by the modern Democratic party.
Consider that's what brain dead Obamabots say whenever someone complains about his drone strikes or illegal wars. No liberal likes FDR because of internment - so you must be as willfully stupid as an Obamabot.
Even if you're Gumby and can stretch far enough to claim that such an attack constitutes an "invasion", that wasn't part of the United States for almost another 20 years.
If the "overwhelming majority" of Muslims really didn't want to put up with the growing armies of their more purist, violent, militant, caliphate-minded brothers, then they'd already have done something about it.
In 2011, a Christinist wanting to establish a Christian Europe murdered almost 80 people, most of them kids. How did the rest of Christians answer for this? They didn't, because the question is asinine on it's face, you dumb fuck.
But by all means, as a resident of the country that has deliberately targeted two hospitals for bombings in as many months, keep waging your finger at those craaaazy Mooooslims....
Habeas Corpus may only be suspended during times of invasion or rebellion, and WWII was neither. And even if Japan had invaded, suspension of Habeas Corpus is a power given to Congress, not the Executive.
Just so long as this person makes a habit of wearing the same garb when out in public and driving.
Do you wear the same clothes every day that were in your license photo? How about the same hair style? If you grow a mustache or dye your hair, do you make a pilgrimage to the DMV to get it updated?
So now the oil will be transported by truck and rail, which of course pollutes much, much less than sending it through a pipe via electric pumps.
Rail is a bottleneck on transportation, and therefore production - they aren't going to mine and process tar sands far beyond their ability to transport the product. That would be a waste of capital, as any 5th grade student of remedial economics could tell you. Stopping the pipeline means reducing the amount of carbon pollution.
Like, for instance, the railroad that Obama's 1%'er buddy Warren Buffett owns. I'm sure there's no connection there, though.
No. There isn't. Obama has opened more land and sea for drilling than his Republican predecessor, targeted multiple oil producing (or transporting) countries for "regime change" - including a couple of democracies. He's also bragged that oil has been extracted faster than oil companies can bring it to market. Anyone who thinks Obama isn't an oil man is either ignorant, or as willfully clueless as an Obamabot.
Are we pretending that Canada's just going to leave it in the ground if we don't buy it?
That's exactly what they're going to do. Rail is a bottleneck on transportation, and therefore production - they aren't going to mine and process tar sands far beyond their ability to transport the product. That would be a waste of capital, as any 5th grade student of remedial economics could tell you.
Now I don't think Snowden's life would necessarily be at risk, but I could quite imagine him being given a trial in front of a kangaroo court
That's a given, with a prosecution under the Espionage Act. Snowden wont be allowed to argue that his actions were justified, so it's only a question of how many decades will be on his sentence.
Are you? Basic laws of supply & demand & competition: if the number of customers (renters, in this case) increases, then yes prices will go up. But only until more suppliers enter the market to compete for those dollars, forcing prices back down. This would be why the talking point is crap, the one that higher education costs so much money because all the free (for now) student loan money has let schools jack up tuition willy nilly. For 30+ years.
I'm curious how inflation will not eat up most/all of this.
What inflation? You give a poor person money, 100% of it is going to go back into the local economy as he buys goods or services. And if businesses could arbitrarily jack up prices without losing customers, they wouldn't wait for an increase in the minimum wage or a national income to do so - they'd just do it and pocket the extra income.
I'm also curious how many people will simply decide to do nothing and live on the dole.
I'm curious if you're still flipping burgers at Hardees, 20 years after you graduated high school. Wait, no I'm not, as most people want more than the minimum income needed to survive.

Until you pull your head out of your ass and ask where the explosive is that the wires are hooked up to. Guess you didn't make it that far.

Uh....the fact that it was neither? Trolls haven't exactly sent out their A team today....
You mean he made it work as a clock again. Lots of kids take apart shit, not many of them get it to work again.
Deliberate sophistry.
You mean like not call the bomb squad? You mean like transport "the device" in the same vehicle as "the suspect"?
Racist morons.
WYFP, xenophobe?

Not an invasion of the United States, as Alaska wasn't a State until 1959.
Even if you're Gumby and can stretch far enough to claim that such an attack constitutes an "invasion", that wasn't part of the United States for almost another 20 years.
Which was attacked, not invaded. Idiot.

That wasn't the problem with Nuremberg. The problems were:
1) Only a small sampling of German war criminals were put on trial
2) Only Axis powers were charged with car crimes, when the Allies had plenty under their belt
