Yep.

Everyone should be outraged at those charges.

I moved to ATL and that happens down here. When the cops come they just say ‘ he fucked around and found out’

What the headline fails to point out is that that after he chased the kid he started reaching around for what the man perceived as weapon.

Yeah I saw a mini van with Maine plates that said MILF FKR recently

His biggest mistake was missing.

They hate everyone

I want however much data it takes for an actuary to put their license on the line and say "This costs our company more"

> Rednecky and trashy

Have you been to Maine? Lol.

Very possibly it's just general discontent with tourists, which Maine has to deal with a lot. I'm sure there is a Fuck MA one out there as well.

You’re supposed to be the victim and call the cops and watch as shitbags steal your stuff while the cops take their sweet ass time.

Oddly enough, based on that story, if Graybrown had been a cop, that kid would be dead and riddled with bullets right now.

>Graybrown was charged with criminal attempt to commit assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm, risk of injury to a minor and second-degree reckless endangerment.

The second amendment tough on crime vigilante crew should read this.

Go back to Maine.

Yes if they hate it so much then they should go find the door. Maybe there's a certain sort of person who would say that no matter what state they lived in. They could pile up their vanity plates from each one.

> Insurance companies are taking advantage of a commonly held belief that some breeds of dogs are more dangerous

[Serious] How much more proof is needed when looking at how many people are sent to the hospital from a dog attacks each year, and of those how many are pitts?

The data is there.

You sound like a wicked downer

I'm not sure the DCP has any authority to take adverse government action against a business license based on the out-of-court settlement of non-serious and probably specious OSHA violations.

Here's an article by an OSHA lawyer on the citations and the settlement.

OSHA found the exposure to the Ground Cannabis Dust to be causally related to the death, but OSHA doesn't regulate Ground Cannabis Dust and probably cannot do so because it's federally illegal.

It's pretty normal to make the company start funding research the issue. OSHA doesn't have any leverage to force any other commercial grower to fund research, and their citations and jurisdiction in this case were pretty thin.

The settlement also includes:

>undertake a study to determine whether GCD qualifies as a “hazardous chemical” under OSHA hazard communications regulations;

>engage a health professional to develop a program that gives workers guidance on managing potential occupational health impacts from GCD exposure, including allergic sensitization;

>explore having NIOSH conduct an HHE;

>revise employment policies to include job transfer options;

>create an employee information and training program to inform workers about potential allergic sensitization, and its symptoms, from working with GCD in an occupational setting and steps employees should take if they experience such responses;

>investigate options for engineering controls, such as isolating commercial grinding areas and other locations with high GCD concentrations;

>establish a policy requiring the Holyoke facility to have at least one worker at every shift trained in first aid and AED use; and

>determine whether cannabis qualifies as a combustible dust and implement measures accordingly.

The article I linked notes:

>In the unlikely event Trulieve determines that commercially produced GCD meets the criteria for a hazardous chemical under OSHA’s regulations, then likely the entire industry will need to ensure their full compliance with all hazard communication requirements. But, even if Trulieve does not deem GCD a hazardous chemical, resolution of the Trulieve citation impacts all cannabis producers. Because the measures in the Trulieve settlement reflect (in part) OSHA’s expectations of reasonable safety measures that employers should be taking in this industry, we expect OSHA to use this settlement and HAL as a blueprint for establishing safety requirements for all cannabis producers.

But hey - when I walk into S&S to overpay for eggs, I can see eversource banners on the shopping cart corrals telling me they can help with the high bills they themselves set.

Some clarification on that bolded statement.

Being unable to actuarially demonstrate it shouldn’t be interpreted as there’s no statistical difference. Actuaries are overly conservative and will not make public statements like ‘breed x is more dangerous than y’ unless they have definitive evidence and are willing to fight on that hill. Otherwise, there’s reputation risk and potential punishment from the governing body for making statements like that.

What that statement reads to me is that they don’t have enough data to work with to control for all the variables and make a definitive conclusion about breeds. For reference, pet insurance is still very much considered a niche market in insurance and just might not have enough in-house data (or consortium data if that exists for the pet market) to come to any conclusions that they're willing to stand behind.

That’s not at all what “socialism” is - and topping it off democrats are capitalist, not socialist. Get your nonsense out of here and follow the profit.

I don't think you need to worry about Middletown. I hope you feel this way too, when you get here :)

Well shit, fuck Maine too.

>pitbulls are the most common dogs that kill or maim people.

The real numbers of this are very wonky. If you say "large terriers" are the most common dogs to kill or maim that's be more true... But they're the most populous dog group in the US. Statistically mastiffs, great Danes, and huskies are the most dangerous vis-a-vis their population.

"Pitbull" is a nebulous breed, and often confused with other non-terrier breeds.
