Wow, I think that is an instant winner for the annual "most dogshit excuse for cops to do a thing" award.

This also sounds like a reasonable explanation.

Probably the Columbia University protests. I expect this means someone was arrested for having a bike lock (which can be used as a bludgeon).

So that's what people keep telling me will happen, but I watched a More Perfect Union video once and now my recommendations are completely clogged with urban planning and union organization things (I'm primarily a watcher of edu-tainment things, e.g. sci show, CGP Grey, Knowing better, etc)

Yeah, even if we're not quite "there" yet, it feels like we're at least moving in that direction

I have some cousins from South Carolina and Georgia.

It's so frustrating to talk anything tangentially related to the American Civil War with them, and they ALWAYS wheel out the War of Northern Aggression bit.

And I would argue that this is different than if a soldier kills someone.

Like, when you kill as a soldier, generally the other person is trying to kill you (or you can at least tell yourself that afterwards. When you're an executioner.....well let's just say they are known for wearing hoods for a reason.

25 per year (call it one every two weeks?) really doesn't seem that high, esp with their wording of "non-stop executions".

Guess that really speaks to how messed up these execution methods are.

As I type this, I can't help but wonder how the mass executions during the French Revolution affected people's psyche (seems like a well built guillotine would be able to go through closer to 25 executions per day). Anyone have info on that?

I guess what I mean to say is that I, who am neither autistic nor ADHD, really relate to these memes.
