Reply to comment by mrocks301 in TIL of Joseph Trombino, a security guard who survived the 1981 Brink’s robbery in Nyack, NY. He continued working for the company for the next 20 years, was nearly killed in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and was ultimately killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks. by schmo_hawk
Leftist elites are shockingly tolerant of terrorism so long as it supports their ideological cause. I mean right wingers do it too, don't get me wrong but if there was any confusion about one side having moral superiority... they don't.
Bernardine Dohrn is the clearest example of this. A bone fide terrorist who somehow got herself a teaching job at a top law school years later. For all the death and destruction that was directly tied to her, she somehow managed to get away serving just seven months in prison. Rather than treating her like the despicable criminal she is she just gets to live life as a normal, apparently respected member of elite society. They may not all be pedophiles or shape shifting lizard people as some conspiracy theorists claim, but the world's elites certainly are people with a fucked up moral compass.

Reply to comment by LUBE__UP in TIL that in an effort to save $43.5, the Canadian Mint mailed the dies of the new $1 coin via a discount courier over using an armored car- which were promptly stolen and have never been found. This would lead to the adoption of the Loonie design as an emergency replacement. by Padgriffin
I think the issue wasn't that it was a good copy but rather that it was literally indistinguishable from real currency.
