It’s just wrong. No matter how she lived her life, reading the story it feels like victim blaming. It’s worse that her family has to deal with this while mourning her death.

On a different note, is there any truth to the idea that the crazy people come out on full moons?
It's probably anecdotal, but it would seem the werewolves come out in full force during full moons.

I understand your position (…from a sensitivity perspective), but the background is relevant……as troubling as the facts may be. Omitting their relationship removes the core components that establish the "why?!?

For investigators and LEO I agree 100% but why release it?

The information is essentially public. FOIA, among other laws, make our investigatory paperwork subject to request by the media, etc. Also keep in mind that reporters have their contacts as well.

I'm curious, I did a search I swear, but what's the range on the radar guns? Specifically the laser (optic guns you hold up to your eyes) ones. Here in Hawaii it's all they use, and in the last two months the police presence on the side of the highways clocking people has gone up 100 fold. They used to have just one or two standing on the side, now they're doubling up and having two standing side by side just pulling over multiple cars.

Infinite distance. If I can see it, I can clock it.

Is it something specific or Covid defunding but I almost never see troopers or police on the side of the hwy's anymore? Is it maybe all of the BLM protests or what?

It's the defunding. Departments were hurting before that, but now we're really hurting.

When I worked in the tower one of my coworkers reported the visibility at 93M miles. The weather guy questioned him and he said well, he could see the sun!

If he had reported it as CAVU, he would have gotten away with it.

From the article: And if you look closely at the picture the drugs are there. The other items on the table aren't necessarily illegal, however I suspect the people that were arrested didn't have permits for the guns.

suspected crystal methamphetamine estimated at $560,000
cocaine
hydromorphone
oxycodone
Morphine
Psilocybin
Methylphenidate
Lorazepam

Very troubling times. My hope is the pendulum is about to swing back towards something resembling normal very soon.

That is my hope as well because if we continue on the current path, the large majority of this country will begin looking like Velenzuela (….at least where the blue states are concerned).

Haven't listened to the clip yet, but what in a nutshell summary concerns you about the States? Or bullet points?

See, my wife and I did toy with the idea of moving to the States a while back (less likely now, but still in the back of our minds) because our government just seems completely stupid when it comes to Covid and they are destroying kids spirits, education, and lives. All while preaching that they "care" about kids. But schools are back in, and so as long as that continues, we're less likely to move.

But when we look at the States, they seem to be handling Covid normally...like it should. Where it doesn't have a huge impact on day to day lives. So we sort of see it as a bastion of normality. But it concerns me to hear one of their citizens seem to express the same concerns that I have up here.

Plus I can't help but think I'm going to get shot if I lived in the States just pumping gas or some crap. Or road rage. I don't know that that is realistic, but there seem to be a crap ton of murders there compared to Canada.
