When dude is cooking and selling 10+ LBS of Fentanyl a WEEK for 10 years the open WTF is bigger except his China chemical suppliers and they work fo the gov't there so nothing can happen to them? The ONLY reason he got away so long is I thought he was the dude who lives here who works at a hash co but he lived across the street? Looks like the cartel is already moving some old dude in to his house so they don't ,ope every nickel from renting but I told dude the history of house so at least he knows that TIC don't GAF about him or getting sued it seems!

> But the good cops that let the bad cops get away with it are as much of the problem.

The problem, imo, is that good police are restricted by requiring evidence, while bad police can easily destroy it before the ivnestigation starts. Good police can't arrest them if they cannot prove their case. Body cams should help a ton.

Trying to "inspire americans to arm themselves" by giving the gov a perfect reason to pass gun legislation is the dumbest plan I could think of. Maybe he was truly that dumb, but I don't think anybody would come to that conclusion.

What he did gave the opposite energy to the country, it inspired people to want to ban guns and even an idiot would be able to think about that before doing it.

"Toward the end of the 1980s, Paddock worked for three years as an internal auditor for a company that later merged to form Lockheed Martin."

Someone that worked for one of the largest defense contractors in America would be able to put together a much better "plan" to get americans inspired to own guns. That personal tie itself is strange and makes me wonder.

But the FBI behavioral analysis unit can still put together reasonable motives for the most fucked-up serial killers and spree-killers out there, and they have for years.

They came out and basically said "yeah we got no clue", and that's fuckin weird.

I understand that some people just go nuts, but we can still figure out what drove them to that point. Them having nothing for a case on this scale is very unusual.

Yes.

Hilarious.

Ha. Ha.

"Some kids put a plastic bucket over someone's head. That's it. That's all they did."

No, in fact they did assault her, by the legal definition of the term. I don't recall saying that they need to be beaten to a pulp. In fact I said specifically that their take is as wrong as yours. There do need to be consequences beyond "Sowwy we attacked you without pwovocation" from these little shit stains. Expecting discipline to come from home is a losing game. If there was any to be had, they wouldn't be trying to terrify women in a retail store for entertainment. They need to understand that regardless of whether they think it's a big deal or not, the law specifies otherwise, and there are consequences for violating it. Community service, fines, restitution (make them go mow her lawn ever weekend for a couple months) something beyond just a "boys will be boys" response, otherwise their next hilarious prank will be tossing cinder blocks from an overpass onto high speed traffic
