Mass. Supreme: No pretrial detention for armed robbery

BOSTON — The Massachusetts Supreme Court determined that armed robbery is not a crime that allows the state to seek pretrial detention and vacates an order for the pretrial detention of a criminal defendant. “Armed robbery may be committed through the application of minimal physical force (such...

We see how super lenient sentences from judges is resulting in more and more violent crime. We see how decriminaling theft was a disaster in Commiefornia. We see how no-bail has worked in NY and the left wants to follow those examples.

You can be sure the right-wingers will be screaming from the rooftops about how horrible she is for ignoring the subpoena.
Should start any minute, now.

OK. Tell me which of these facts are incorrect. Be specific

We'll discuss it more whenb you tell us all which of the facts I posted above are not correct.

Thank you for that lesson on the Taliban. However, genius, we were talking about ISIS. ISIS and the Taliban are two separate groups. However, ISIS did obtain some of the weapons that Biden left behind.

As for a plan to exit Afghanistan, Biden could have done it gradually. I know Biden tried to talk to them, but the Taliban has zero fear of Biden.

I guess this topic is way over your head. Maybe you should do a little more studying.

Show me, again, where I was giving Trump a pass on rising costs? Sorry, but costs rose a lot more under Biden and you all just sat back eating the Dem sausage while repeating everything they tell you to so you could look like the good little dem boy.

Yes, Trump signed the deal. That's because other countries were working with us. Stop being dem gobbler and look into the New Green Deal and how it affected the cost of producing oil.

You tell me to know what I'm talking about on the pipeline? Instead of the mayor, I asked my 8 year old niece about it, and she showed me this map. Tell me again how it was only going to benefit the CANADIANS? Tell me you're stupid without telling me you're stupid.

Well, looky there. Most of the pipeline is in the US.

Ahhhh, repeating the story created by the convicted felon who can't hold a job for more than a few weeks at a time, can't afford an $800 car without a payment plan, and lives in his dad's basement while pretending he owns the home but "lets" his dad live in it while he's touring the country living in the basement of other family members.

No wonder you so easily accept whatever Trump says as fact.

Let's see, my dad lives in a $1.5 million home in Utah. His basement is finished basement with 2200 sq ft of living space. I live in a $850,000 2500 sq. ft. home next to a lake, in California. I don't see how it is possible for me to be living in my dad's basement. That would be a step down for me. I showed you the systems that I installed in my kid's cars, which I also purchased for them when they were 16 years old. I also described the system I put in my personal truck along with all my toys, which consists of 8 offroad toys. I just went on a 2 week vacation. One full week in southern California and another full week camping and dirtbike riding. It cost me over $4000 for that vacation. Yeah... I'm really financially hurting.

Interesting attenpt at an idiom. But I know at least two blind people who could easily explain what the color blue is.
You're not bright enought to create your own idioms. Stick to ones that already exist. You MIGHT actuially be able to find one that makes sense in the context of a discussion.

That had to be the dumbest come back I have ever heard.

Seriously dude? You don't know that usage will skyrocket when a product first starts becoming available and in demand?
You think Trump was blowing up traffickers in late 2023? I suppose you think he was POTUS in 2023, then?
Or was he doing it Rambo style?

Google this "What was the reason fentanyl Deaths declined in 2023." I'll give you hint, it wasn't Biden. It was due to finding cures.

Google this "Did fentanyl trafficking decline in 2023." I'll give you a hint, NO. It actually accelerated.

oops. Did I just f-up your argument?

Then Trump must be responsible for the insurrection.

Of course he has to be. Otherwise, you would have to call your leaders a liar.

Those bruises on your chin explains what dem juice you are drinking too much of.

Proof of mass fraud has existed for decades. The biggest Medicare/Medicaid fraud in US history happened under the thumb of Republican Senator Rick Scott. $1.7 Billion.

So, apparently you have not been watching the news lately. Do you not have electricity in your little shack?

I never looked past rioters in cities, but you right-wingers ure looked past for fellow shi*heels attempting a coup at our Capitol. Hell, a shi*heel right-winger even pardoned those pieces of sh*t, and toyed with the idea of PAYING them for their efforts.
F*****g Communists.

Blah blah blah... How blind are you? Keep believing that crap. Why not go and review video that shows how the dems were a part in provoking this. Take a look at the Capital police directing the protesters around the building and helping them get into rooms.

When exactly did you ask this, and when was my answer those six words? Post number, please.
Ashley Babbit was actively trying to go through the broken window of a door that was actively being barricaded by LE. "Peaceful protester"?

Read the report. She was pushed in. She was on her knees when she was shot. She was unarmed. Aren't you all about fighting against unnecessary violence from cops? Of course, you're okay with it because she wasn't a democrat. I guess you would only find it wrong if she was black and was shot by a cop she was beating on.

How many people did democrat rioters kill?

Over 20.

Congress Should Investigate the Black Lives Matter Riots

America enters 2023 as a radically different society because of the 2020 violence linked to Black Lives Matter. It took years to knit the revolutionary network that would provoke this sea change. And, indeed, the organizers of the protests met for years to plan how to “disrupt and transform”...

www.heritage.org

How many democrat rioters were killed by right-winger?

Sorry, I couldn't find any numbers on this. I can say that dems have tried to assassinate Trump 3 times.

Give me verifiable numbers, not some bullsh*t you made up.

I gave you the numbers. Now what?

Nice tinfoil hat. Shows how low your IQ is.
So you think the Dems paid off all of New York state, so that they'd get a jury (one that was chosen by Trump's legal team, btw) that would convict?
Who did they pay off to falsify all the documents that proved guilt? Trump's employees?

Hunter's laptop? What about it? The REPUBLICANS investigated that, and found nothing they could use against him.
Do you think those Republicans got paid off, too? More tinfoil for your hat.

Um... how do you think Hunter got busted for tax evasion and illegally owning a gun? You should take a look at what was found inside.

You really are obsessed with that diary thing. I guess it matters not a whit that Ashley herself explained what she wrote and that it doesn't incriminate Joe in any way. Was she paid off, too?

She didn't address what she wrote. She NEVER stated it was false. You sure like to try and find hidden words when it's a Trump, but you stand to be stupid when it involves a democrat. I can hear you slurping from here.

So the "backup reservoir" that is not a backup reservoir is controlled by the city, and it's Governor's fault that the reservoir was drained to repair damage to the cover?
Nice logic, there.

Thank you for showing that I was right. It clearly states that this reservoir was built partly to meet the Federal and State fire codes. That means, it was built to help put out fires. However, there is way too much reading for you, so it's hard for you to understand what it was saying. Maybe I should have my 8 year old niece read it to you in a way you can understand.

Yet you still have no clue how many water towers

This was answered. There was one.

how big the feed line is that goes to them from the reservoir,
36"

what the fill rate of the pumps to the towers is,
3 pumps at 5,500 gallons gpm.

what the flow rate of the hydrants are, how many hydrants were being used.
500 gmp

So, if you have 16,500 gpm

With all those hotshots that you had to wait to finish their meeting so you could clean the room, you think at least ONE of them could help you answer those basic questions.

The fire chief gave me these answers. I told him what you were trying to do and he nailed who you were. He said "is this some lonely old f'er who lives by himself in a trailer park and is trying to make himself look smart." He goes on to say that because the Santa Ynez reservoir was dried up, they had to get their water from over 40 miles away, and that water was gravity fed. Because it was gravity fed, there wasn't enough pressure keep up with the usage.

Not sure where you got this chart, but it's false. Maybe you should go look at the real numbers.

Exactly what was Iran thinking???

U.S. military turned back six ships in first 24 hours of Iranian port blockade

The U.S. military is using more than 100 U.S. fighter and surveillance aircraft to enforce the blockade, as well as more than a dozen ships.

Literally right now...

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

Literally if I go get gas right now at 2150 Dale Earnhardt Blvd I will pay $3.34 others will pay $3.59.

Not $4.15

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

The left will lie right to your face and tell you that you love it and expect you to believe it.

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

So ban the media as well? Ban free speech? How about if you feel the need to pass a bill that bans a person who outs your corruption you pass in your resignation and go F.O. somewhere. The nerve of some people. Ban someone because you are the criminal.

You think an expectation is a current reality?
Sorry bud, that's only in the MAGA fantasy world.
