The Sheriff’s Office wishes to express its sincere regrets to ... Joan Meyer ... for its participation in the drafting and execution of the Marion Police Department’s search warrants on their homes and the Marion County Record.
Sincere regret, cause she died two days after the raid. Lame.
Here's the thing. If he had yelled police, from what I read (have not watched the video), still nothing those folk did justified deadly force. "Black while standing up" is not a crime.
Maybe people would have acted differently, but their actions did not justify this even if this idiot cop had identified himself as law enforcement.
It's funny to see these guy rally to the defence of the "simple childlike joy of gaming" one second then flip to manufactured hysteria about gaming turning kids into monsters or corrupting them the next.
For example, big-tech pushes its liberal ideology in America while submitting to authoritarian regimes and censoring that same ideology in other countries. Further, those same regimes are provided a platform and rarely face the same censorship shown toward conservatives in the United States.
Pretty black and white: "We aspire to be like those regimes!"
So, I'm just curious what the Steiners actually wrote that provoked this.
To be clear, I'm not suggesting it's their fault or they deserved this, I would just love to see what must be the most brilliant pieces of biting sarcasm ever produced.
Ebay's behaviour in this, as an org, is fucking disgusting and their claims of "this isn't our corporate culture" ring pretty flat given the sanctioning of this on record.
So the trademark thing is patently ridiculous. The Menards brand communicates "We're like Milorganite", not "We are Milorganite".
I'm sorta surprised they didn't take a more anti-competitive slant to their claim. Menards is obviously leveraging its position as a distributor of fertilizers to encourage users to buy their product. I'm not close enough to anti-competition nuances to know if it's over the line, but it certainly seems closer to it here than the trademark claim of "their lawn fertilizer shows a lawn, just like ours".
WHEREAS, the general assembly finds that the first amendment of the United States constitution asserts that the government "shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press";
The first amendment is great.
and WHEREAS, freedom of the press in the United States is not absolute and is subject to certain restrictions, such as defamation law;
Haha, just kidding.
oops 1 day after, not 2 days.
apologies
Sincere regret
Woosh?
Precatory?
Leopards eat faces?
Why is the leopard eating my face? Why didn't anyone warn me that this starving predator would look at me as food and not a friend?
Maybe?

Oh no
Agreed. Now I have to go watch... the Marvels...
Title missing a word?

BestNetTech, for all your German plumbing needs.

Typo 7th paragraph
COVID spelt "COIVD" in this case. Appreciate the article as always :).
Anti competitive?

Moooooo
I bet they make Devin Nunes' Cow pay for this.
