Prankster arrested for spraying pesticide on Walmart produce
  • Dude you're thinking way too deeply into, it really is as simple as "that's just how cops and lawyers talk, nobody is going to give away anything."

    On top of that we have pretty serious restrictions called HIPAA on releasing private healthcare information and no insurance provider in the world is just going to go ahead and confirm plans details or lack of one if they don't have to.

  • I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway
  • There is no war but the class war comrade.

    We have more in common with an entitled boomer or homeless man than we do with Elmo or Zuck (or McConnell or Pelosi) or any of the other elite. Everything else is a distraction to class consciousness, don't fall into the same trap lead-brained and propagandized victims of childhood abuse do. They are not the enemies.

  • I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway
  • There is no war but the class war, full stop.

    The boomer I see sleeping on the sidewalk every morning is more a victim of capitalist fuckery than I'll ever be. There's no war but the class war, everything else is secondary.

  • He's gonna get a lot of mail.
  • His actions made no impact, so far.

    This is incorrect, we're all talking about it so it's brought the conversation to the forefront if nothing else.

    Are you expecting the more than half of Americans who voted for Trump

    More than half of Americans didn't vote for trump, roughly 1/3 did.

    Republicans to suddenly change their political identity.

    Republican don't have a political identity to speak of except "No!" see also: Their current inability to even pass a budget they wrote.

    you’re not supporting his cause if you send money to his commissary, you’re supporting the private prison system.

    He's being held at the Metro Detention Center in Brooklyn, it's not a private prison.

    You're so bad at this you have to be a troll, and not even a good one, sad.

  • He's gonna get a lot of mail.
  • Maybe we could source the blue-shelling of CEOs and when good people inevitably end up in the clink they could be welcomed as oppressed comrades and freedom fighters.

    An argument could be made that his actions are drawing attention to the Healthcare crisis and are worth millions in donations to any single facility.

    We all have opinions.

  • Remember when they took a Nazi for some Burger King?
  • I have first-hand knowledge of the workings of my local metro PD is the only reason I referenced them but you make a valid point that they don't all like each other. In my local PD at least (and I imagine a lot of others) it's hyper political. People try very hard to attach themselves to up-and-coming command officers to try to become a sort of right hand or assistant (while still being badge carrying LEO) to them.

    It's extremely hierarchical, it's not uncommon for peoples parents and grandparents to have been cops and institutions like that definitely have a memory. People spend decades finding their little niches and if you step on the wrong toes you may get screwed over before you understand what's happening, it's an extremely toxic place filled with assholes and psychopaths lol.

  • Remember when they took a Nazi for some Burger King?
  • Also a lot of places police work pays a really nice wage with opportunities for nearly unlimited overtime.

    My local metro PD has what's called "secondary work" where various (large) venues will hire off-duty officers to essentially stand around and be present. Those jobs regularly pay $50/hr and you get to see events for free. These guys rack up insane amounts of "secondary work." It's a total racket, a few years ago there was as scandal with a guy working secondary work *while on duty," it's wildly open to abuse and the police hierarchy protects everyone at every step.

  • The fact that there isn't a revolution happening in the US right now is crazy
  • It's one of the main reasons our owner class has sought to mock the French with "surrender" slurs and "freedom fries."

    They'd very much like the citizenry to forget Frances contribution to America and "western culture" over the last 200 years lest they get any ideas.

  • A woman made a vague threat to a healthcare company – does she really deserve up to 15 years in prison?
  • I'm only a few years younger and have pretty much always had shitty/non-existent insurance until the last decade.

    Without revealing too much about myself, my employer just switched their provider to UHC this year so you can imagine I'm watching all this intently.

  • A woman made a vague threat to a healthcare company – does she really deserve up to 15 years in prison?
  • Without getting into the weeds too much I'd be willing to bet that when the accused rapist is rich there's a huge chance they'll be given the benefit of the doubt. While if it's a poor person they're far more likely to be caught up in whatever charges the system can present in the interest of snaring another person in the Prison Industrial Complex.

    There really is no war but the class war.
