When an employer allows what is clearly KKK hate speech by an employee on their premises, despite having the right to forbid it, it is quite reasonable to assume that employer shares that employee’s support for the KKK.
In fact, as we reported exclusively, Dave was driving 74 miles an hour in a 25 mile per hour zone and struck Kandula while she was attempting to cross the street in a marked and well-lighted crosswalk.
“I think she went up on the hood, hit the windshield, then when he hit the brakes, she flew off the car. But she is dead. No, it’s a regular person. Yeah, just write a check. Yeah, $11,000. She was 26 anyway, she had limited value.”—Seattle police officer Daniel Auderer, joking with police union president Mike Solan about the death of pedestrian Jaahnavi Kandula earlier that night.
Please move to Russia/China. We don’t do that in the civilized world. We’re better than that.
Edit: yes please downvote me for being against cruel and unusual punishment. Show everyone what kind of person you really are. I hope you get wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death so you can see how regressive your barbaric views are first hand.
public hangings of corrupt people would fix this so fast.
How?
We can't even stop police from continuing to do their job after they murder people, how are we going to give them the death penalty? And how is the state publicly murdering people going to discourage officers of the state from murdering people?
I can understand the feeling of anger but public hanging? Come on. People who earnestly want public hanging back are troglodytic fascists.
What world do you live in where those things aren’t already the case? You think parents watch their kids starve for fun? Have you missed all of the stories of extralegal killings?
I do think a lot of people already behave because they are afraid of the consequences. And we use peers to decide their fate. A mini mob if you will.
I understand what you are getting at though. I’m just not sure tolerating behavior that this story is any better. Is putting him away forever any better than the death penalty?
Komo is owned by sinclair, the right wing mega corp that owns hundreds of local news stations in different markets. The same company of "this is very dangerous to our democracy fame" that forces local anchors to read top down editorial from corporate.
Its no wonder they are kind to cops. Im surprised the article didn’t have a thin blue line background.
“Freedom of speech,” said Jessica. “Didn’t everyone fight for our freedoms for free speech so we could do what we want here?"
Also breaking news: Jessica is a bitch
No, freedom of speech doesn’t mean “do what you want” it means the government can’t tell you to shut up because it doesn’t like you. Freedom of speech stops at the government: this shit head was undermining the very foundation of what America stands for by scaring anyone who doesn’t look like the gunman.
If he wants to deny rights to others, let’s deny him those same rights.
Nevermind the fact that the dude isn’t saying anything. It would be expression if anything and what he’s expressing is support for white supremacy. I wonder if Jessica supports white supremacy 🤔
It seems weird that a good chunk of Americans don’t seem to know how some of the rights work.
Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are there to basically protect you from the government from going “hey, you can’t say that” or “hey, you can’t believe in that”. It doesn’t absolve people of facing the consequences of their choices, including spewing hate speech if they’re that kind of person. If I said “Hitler was right”, only the government can’t do anything outside of what they can already do with hate speech - but that doesn’t mean I won’t rightfully get a few teeth loose or getting shunned by people around me for saying dumb shit like that.
Strangely, I found this to be evident about some federal laws we take for granted, like minimum wage. People legit think minimum wage is meant for people starting out and not giving out money to them (which makes no sense to me) and argue when they find out the original reason it was even made was so the nuclear family could afford a home, food, and goods and services for themselves and was calculated as how they can do that with one person working a job.
Oh, they know, or they choose to remain willfully ignorant. Besides, “Freedom of Speech” is a simple, powerful phrase, but they’re very quick to abandon it when that same power is used by their ideological enemies.
“The vibe is totally different. We can be more productive. People are getting to know each other. It’s just a lot more fun.”
Weigh that against individual autonomy of schedule, commuting cost/hassle, environmental impact and it’s a no brainer— the downtown office model is dead.
Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities Loans are fucked and her bosses know it— and they sent this lady out with a dixie cup to bail out a sinking supertanker.
You can write those bad bets to zero boys, that money is <poof> gone.
When you look at actual studies, the numbers are all over the place. Some say 30% of people are introverted, some say 50:50, some say 57% introverted.
My opinion gets weighted by these 2 observations:
There are 10-20 people on the stage, and thousands in each audience. There is a difference between social neediness and extroversion. Even center introverts will have their thing they enjoy doing to be social from time to time, like going to a play, sporting event, or movie. The extroverts are on the stage. Only a small percent of the audience is actually extroverted.
Depending on how the data is collected, extroverts, or people who still try to convince themselves they are extroverts, are the ones who are going to approach the study and answer, so naturally, any figure you get in this kind of study, double your figures for introvert so you can factor for all the introverts that ducked your survey.
Translation: "I don't have any stats on lowered productivity so I'm going to make meaningless 'vibe' statements to justify my anti work from home bias."
The fuck? How is that a rationale for forcibly fighting a natural change in work culture? We’re going to force people to relocate, force people to spend a ton of time and money commuting, force people to unnecessarily damage the environment, force people to spend time away from their families, because she prefers a different vibe?
Being fun has nothing to do with being productive. Do you know what’s not fun for everyone who lives on the Eastside? Sitting in dead stop traffic on the 520 for 2 hours every day, just so they can sit alone at a desk in an office in Seattle and telecommute with their team in other parts of the country. This lady can fuck right off with her bullshit lies that pander to the city’s sales tax, tolls, and parking revenue. She doesn’t give a fuck about vibe, she cares about the city income, and the profitability of the commercial real estate tycoons that pad her pockets.
Those incidents really disturbed me. I’m glad they’re doing this.
I’m still really worried about where things are heading, to the point that my partner and I are looking at golden visa programs in anticipation of having to leave the US permanently.
The rise in vacancies across Seattle is directly linked to the rate of newly constructed apartments, according to Capital Economics, and it’s increased from 5.2% at the end of 2019 to 7% by midyear 2023. Already, Seattle’s asking rent growth rate is at -2% and could fall further.
I'd really encourage people to actually read the article too. This is a direct consequence of increased construction, and just another piece of evidence to add to the rapidly growing pile showing that adding new housing stock - of any and all kinds - does cause a reduce pressures on rent.
