Very concerned, yea. “Shocked” that the son of the coup ringleader is helping his Congolese dad?
The US had completely unrelated people going to the Middle East to become part of isis and flying to the White House to overthrow democracy. Some kid fighting for his dad seems less weird than either of those.
12 years seems like a long time, but a couple years of prison for bringing a weapon to a country that has illegalized those weapons and states very clearly that you can be prosecuted for bringing those weapons?
Oh, thanks, I thought I read the woman had ammunition only, but the four earlier tourists were carrying guns. They were apparently not!
Still, if the airport explicitly tells you not to carry firearm ammunition into the country under penalty of prosecution, and then you carry firearm ammunition into the country, you can’t be shocked by prosecution.

Oh hell yes, I’m so excited for everyone involved to get destroyed by this case.
By literally forging election documents and sending them in to deceive room officials and overturn the legitimate democratic process.
I cannot get over how insane this plot was and that it was actually carried out up until the point nara pointed out that these documents are forgeries.
Dozens of people, including Trump, Giuliani, The lawyers and dozens of politicians who helped come up with and enact the forgeries are facing multiple felony charges by AGs across seven States and the DOJ. One of the lawyers has been openly informing on his colleagues.
SYDNEY/PARIS, May 17 (Reuters) - French police reinforcements have started arriving in New Caledonia as part of a massive operation to regain control of the capital Noumea, the top French official in the Pacific island territory said on Friday....
“The rioting erupted over a new bill, adopted by lawmakers in Paris on Tuesday, that will let French residents who have lived in New Caledonia for 10 years vote in provincial elections.”
Wow, I need some more historical context on voting in new Caledonia and how this reform is leading to fatalities and such huge riots.

I am an adult, and I do like spicy food, but I’d like to throw in that this chip is fine. It’s spicy, but not crazy. It was hot for a few minutes and then not hot.
I’m more surprised that the article affirms that large amounts of capsaicin can be physically damaging in some way. I’ve never heard of that before.
Wow, apparently I do not understand the risks. I actually looked it up after I really started eating spicy food almost everyday and I understood capsaicin to excite nerves but not cause any physical damage.
I am going to have to look that up again I guess.
I think the only thing I came across was it being good for your GI tract somehow, like being good for stopping ulcers.
Currently. It’s gone back and forth a few times, with each 'ban" preceding large purchases by the Chinese government of cryptocurrencies.
But even if it is illegal in China, they can hold the money offshore and spend it as easily as anybody else.
Also, if you are politically connected or pay the government enough money and your behavior doesn’t negatively affect the CCP, then things aren’t actionably illegal in China.

I’m good, I dislike half-baked assumptions and lazy springboarding:
“You are framing this as an access issue rather than one of predation”
I specifically say that the problem is profit-driven; in no way is my comment framed as an access issue.
“Fast food chains don’t make a cheap menu to help poor people experience their food, they do it to milk every bit of money from a populace.”
Nobody said that fast food chains are trying to help people; I noted that the problem of increased fast food prices can only be attributed to corporate greed.
“Don’t expect social justice from corporate entities.”
No comment here expects or advocates for social justice from corporate entities. It is a fact that many fast food companies very recently used to have substantial dollar menus and no longer have dollar menus.
Your comment is immaterial as a reply and reads as populist posturing at the expense and disregard of the comment you’re responding to.
If you agree? Fine. If you disagree? Fine.
Don’t agree with what I’m saying by pretending I said something I didn’t to drum up false controversy.
