Again, the guy has a past history of anti-semitic remarks and run-ins with French laws regarding hate speech, and says 'I am Coulibaly' immediately following Coulibaly being involved in a terrorist attack and hostage situation. I can see people debating whether or not arresting him is worthwhile, but it's not "hypocritical". This is a good article that explains the differences. http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/french-law-treats-dieudonne-charlie-hebdo-differently
I actually like that European countries lock people up for hate speech. I don't think hate speech should be protected under free speech laws.
Joe PA has his vacated wins... vacated? Record restored to NCAA's #1 most winningest coach. The real tragedy here is that winningest is a word. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/17/sports/ncaafootball/joe-paterno-penn-state-ncaa-wins-restored.html?_r=0
Yeah I saw this, the great American past time of suing everyone is really taking off over here in recent years.
Fixed the annoying missing characters... apparent DH moved this to a new server and the database got converted to a different charset. I have no idea what any of it means, I just clicked buttons until it started working.
Another year, another Snowmageddon on the East Coast. I think the current prediction for my area is around 2 feet of snow. I just need the power to stay on so that I can "work from home", i.e., play more Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Thankfully that's not something I have to deal with. The building I live in has a small army of snow shovelers that always do a really good job of keeping things under control. The problems start when you leave the property though…plenty of half-a**ed snow removal by local business/residents and giant snow banks from the city plows. Most people just give up and walk in the streets if it's a really big storm.
Sucks. I thought I was gonna skate on snow this year. I won (or lost) the work lottery for on-site staff for this storm. I have to stay in a hotel across from work until Wednesday.... Luckily I snuck my car into the executive lot since theY bolted in droves. No cleaning for me! Supposed to get 18-24" by tomorrow morning.
Snowmaggedon is a bust... you would't know it from watching the news though. They are still desperately milking this for for every last drop.
That's the thing about carrying a concealed weapon. When other people notice they don't know if the carrier has a permit, is a cop or is psycho ready for a rampage.
Some places it's just normal to see people caring guns in stores. Montana comes to mind. An ISIS attack in Montana would be interesting. Terrorist pulls out assault riffle in Montana Walmart. Gets wasted by armed soccer Moms and their kids.
That's the NRA fantasy version. A coordinated attack is going to have the distinct advantage every time.
How much snow did you get in New England? We skated on about 8", but local crews were so well prepared that it barely had any impact. I'm still sitting at work because of the storm, hopefully until 5 am. We have to do 12 hour on-call rotations for Emergency Response, and I got stuck with 7pm-7am Monday thru Wednesday... They pretty much paid me to watch Weather Channel, but the hours suck. Hopefully they terminate the program at 5 am. I still kept my hotel room for the continental breakfast.
