Except no. We don't catch more squid because of it. People don't eat more. It has no measurable impact. Hell even "local" calamari is mostly getting sent to China and back before it makes it to any restaurant or store.

If it were something only caught here? Maybe, I'd get it. I'd still say its stupid to have an official state appetizer when no other state does.

Dr Wade of Drs. Wade & Saccoccio in Warwick. Both are great really, husband and wife team, can't go wrong with either, Dr Wade just always has a good story to tell while working :) Neither are judgemental either, so if you haven't been in a while they will get you on the right track without making you feel bad everytime they look in your mouth. I inheritied bad teeth :( but never any issue going to Dr Wade. Won't go anywhere else.

It means being distracted by looking at your phone is bad but being distracted by looking at billboards, video billboards, traffic message signs, and cops hiding is perfectly fine.

You're right. But even if he didn't have them, he was still staying there as a guest of the legal tenant. The story doesn't say there's no lease or that an eviction had already occurred. His cousin had a lease but no longer lived there who was there as a guest of the leaseholder/unauthorized sublease and they were going to evict the guy still living there. There's still a requirement to go through eviction proceedings in order to legally terminate the lease and classify the guy living there as a trespasser. And even that doesn't warrant going in with friends to shoot him or threaten him at gunpoint. It just means the police can remove him.

In short, the situation was pretty ironclad grounds to terminate the lease through eviction proceedings but he was not a legal trespasser at that point nor was the landlord justified in an armed breaking and entering.

I don't know if the bank president thought they were ugly, but he surely thought they were dangerous. One came crashing down so the others were removed.

Which has nothing to do with legality of the situation. Even if he wasn't the one being rented to, hea may have established squatters rights which meant she was required to evict him. Call the police, report a squatter, they get the information, you file for eviction. The fact that the dude was waiting for her with a rifle definitely implies there was a history of threats, even if just preceding the break in. She had knowledge that he was living there for her to evict him so he wasn't just an immediate trespasser, and even if he was, she still had the responsibility to call the police and not what she did.

If she survived, the dude was going to be able to sue the fuck out of her.

It’s possible, although everyone in my condo building was males when they went outside and walked around the halls. I was often the only masked person in the whole darn building. And this was pre-vaccine. One neighbor who was always unmasked ended up dying at RIH from the virus.

I think updating a news story would involve a disclaimer saying what was changed and why. Its probably more efficient to make a new story as new info comes out and letting the old one stand with its publication date. Probably dates back to and reflects on print editions of newspapers, and that history even if print still isnt the primary delivery anymore.
