Response from Jill: Can you outbid Putin?
Maybe, maybe not. The fight could be a distraction to draw the air marshal into the open and into a vulnerable situation so that a highjacking can take place. As long as there isn't immediate danger of loss of life, they might choose to let some guy get punched in order to continue their primary job of protecting 300 other people. Or they might step in.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's demonization of Latinos.
Makes sense to me.
Because his base eats this up
In California we've spent $11 billion over 10 years with nothing active to show for it. 120 miles are under construction but aren't finished or connected to anything. By the time the first usable section is completed (171 miles), it will be at $30 billion.
Was he charged with voter fraud or attempted voter fraud? For many crimes, attempting a crime is a separate crime that carries penalties even if not successful in the actual crime. Not sure if that is the case here.
Your argument is that it is on the system to deal with crime and that a person who commits a crime, even for what is perceived to be a good reason, should not be held liable for breaking the law?
I get that he didn't actually commit the crime in this case, so there is plausible deniability. But criminal court treats attempting a crime as a crime itself, though with lesser penalties. And in your scenario a crime would have been committed.
The headline is blowing what actually happened way out of proportion. It's a similar level of stupid as Philly.
I wouldn't call a single group looting a single street corner and attempting to set one bus on fire, "tearing the place apart."
Looting at several stores on one street corner in a city the size of LA... headline says "mass looting." Maybe I'm just used to a different level of looting after big protests in the past, but that doesn't sound like mass looting to me.

That's a really hard guarantee to live up to. It almost sounds like an ominous threat.
