Dime, most of us are Americans. We're just impressed the cops didn't kill the protester.

Our police force in the streets aren't armed. But I take your point. Would have thought it would have made news there for that very reason

This is so bizarre. Canadian ambassador to ireland Kevin Vickers (the 'hero' guy who shot that gun man in their parliament) yesterday assaulted a peaceful protestor at a 1916 memorial here in a national cemetery. 45 police officers (and any amount of soliders) were there and let the protesor guy be, he was just being a mouth. but Rambo Vickers takes it upon himself to assault the protestor. And the protestor gets arrested???!?


Fuck. Off.

The guy clearly has some narcissistic hero thing going on. Or PTSD.
Canadian PM was interviewed on radio here earlier and he's not best pleased putting it lightly.

So the story gets some coverage in Canada...and they portrayed him as a hero and gave no context whatsoever! Nor mentioned he's completely out of bounds assaulting the guy never mind directly interesting with a legitimate democratic right to protest. And he's all but bragging about it on Twitter!
I hope he gets recalled and dismissed. We'll see. What you guys think?

The hero portrayal was what I heard immediately after it happened, but the Canadian media coverage around it ever since has been decidedly negative.

If elected Trump would become the oldest president upon his first swearing in.
If eleceted Hillary would become the second oldest president up their first swearing in.

That rapey swimmer and those that wrote character statements are sure getting some press, that is.

I do wonder if Stanford is still getting heat for this:

Not rapey. They removed those rapey charges a long time ago.

Unrelated to all of the (warranted) indignation at his light sentence and shruggy response, I sure hope someone close to this girl is concerned for her. Going to a party and drinking yourself literally unconscious is a red flag at any age.

Rape apologist.

But this is one of the better things I've read about this.

Guys, I just read Jane Mayer's Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right and then watched Michael Moore's Where to Invade Next.

I kinda want to kill myself now. WTF, America!?

America...why won't you just ban the fucking alligator?

How crazy is it that *three* rare, tragic, fucked-up events have happened in Orlando in the past few days?

According to the nightly news, the D.A. has excluded the judge in question from presiding over any more sexual assault cases, and there is a petition circulating that needs 75,000 signatures to have him permanently removed from the bench, which looks like it might easily succeed.

The night club massacre and the murder of a celebrity by a stalker happened barely minutes and miles apart and were completely unrelated. The next day, a 2-year old was snatched by a crocodile while wading in low water at Disney World. These were all major news stories.
