I think of it less as about her being a public figure, and more about her being alone with kids.
You cannot talking about doing violence to trump supporters when you are responsible for their children.

I have mixed feelings about that. Iāll have to carefully review all of the evidence for a few hours (maybe even days or weeks) before I can say more about it.

This. Position of trust (rather than public figure) and authority.
Just as a teacher shouldnāt be āpersuadingā students to one religious belief over another, they shouldnāt be doing any sort of persuasion to a political party/movement/etc.
Presenting facts and things to consider? You bet. Helping students learn what should be done to create an informed decision provided itās done without a perceived influence to make one particular decision over another.

The number of forms of legalized bribery we have in this country is too damn high. This is not as bad as Pam Bondi, but still.

There is a campaign to force the judge to resign, including from some fellow Democrat elected officials.
āYou didnāt run none of this the right way,ā she told Harris. āIllegal, Napoleon.ā
Sheās got some meaty golden balls to call anything that anyone else does āillegal.ā 
I wonder if she needs a golden mirror to go with her golden microphone.
Iām going to continue to say that corruption is bad no matter the party.

We have a saying in the old country, money is nice to everyone.
Other than race (which by itself isnāt an argument imo), what is the argument for people who consider that Daniel Penny a villain instead of a hero to so consider him?
I just read about it.
It sounds to me like a homeless person was screaming and yelling, and penny slowly choked him to death.
I guess a lot of it depends on whether people could justifiably think their lives were in danger from a homeless man screaming and yelling.
But it sounds like penny easily overpowered this guy. Was his safety really so in danger that he needed to choke him out? Manslaughter sounds reasonable to me.
Details of the case might change my mind.
From the āheās a heroā perspective:
Excerpt:
Summary
Subway passengers testified of being āterrifiedā
Penny might never have thought he would use fighting skills he learned in the Marines in a dangerous, chaotic confrontation on the F train in Manhattan. But he did ā and he faced up to 15 years in prison because of it.
After Neely screamed that he would kill someone, Penny placed him in a choke hold on the subway trainās floor. Other passengers called law enforcement, who after arriving began to administer CPR. Neely later was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Penny, under questioning at a police station, said his intention was to subdue Neely, not hurt him. But soon after Neelyās death, Penny was charged.
Cellphone video and body cam footage provide clear views of what happened that day. During the choke hold, Penny is neither vicious nor malicious. He is focused and steady, clearly attempting to subdue a threat. Two men aid him in calming Neely. Passengers later testified they were relieved that Penny had taken the initiative to protect them.
It seems that it was other people who feared for their lives, and Penny intervened to save the day or whatever. Obviously I wasnāt there and Iām just starting to read more about this now, but so far Iām finding that this is more Good Samaritan and less negligent suchandsuch.
In case anyone was wondering why this is here: Itās the reactions from the unsavory AWPAB crowd that made me put it here rather than Random Political Thoughts.

I do not have a problem believing that he is innocent.
I do have one thought on that particular article:
This is extremely non-Christian, probably Nietzschean.
It also shows why military training is inappropriate for policing.

It is what I would expect from Jordan Peterson.

Do people actually take that guy seriously?

I try to ignore him. He is popular with US conservatives but not very popular at home.

The nominee for HHS does.
I assume youāre referring to Peterson with this comment (rather than Penny).
Yes. I meant the Canadian, Jordan Peterson.
