Only thing I’m curious about is if the expungement order was certified or not. As in, a copy with a raised seal.

I had this nagging sensation when I first read this article that people in this person’s position would probably keep a certified copy on them, and if cops are going to treat certified copies as possible fakes, they need to be directly penalized with no qualified immunity.

He should win either way. If it was a certified copy, the officer should be personally liable as well.

This is what happens when you elect actual lawyers. That’s Phil Christofanelli, a Republican Representative out of St. Charles, curb stomping a stupid bigot over a poorly drafted law.

Per his bio, he does estate planning and small business law. Seems like a pretty competent guy to have in your corner, honestly.

If all our emergency cheese reserves were collected into a single cube, this would be the toothpick used to turn it into a snack.

No need to issue rewards, we straight up murder them wherever they are found with hoes. Springfield hoes are cold blooded, much like their favored scaly prey.

Doesn’t support the First Amendment, capitalism, business freedom of choice, or basic contract law.

A comprehensive dipshit and, for anyone that cares, a traitor to Republican stated ideals.

To embrace his inartfully fumbled anti-Nazi prose, imagine if instead of the rise of fascism it had been about upholding the US Constitution and protecting the public from stochastic terrorism (even incidentally through application of capitalist principles).

Without knowing your breakdown, hard to say. You should probably invest in ceramic/oil radiant heaters, as electricity is currently much cheaper than natural gas (so no gas fireplaces either). Hopefully your wiring has been updated recently. Also, for all I know you’re running a lot of non-LED lightbulbs and old enterprise-grade networking hardware that bottoms out at 600W 24/7.

I dunno, you’d need to manage to truly capture the essence of Springfield, but how many times have you come across a mangy methed-out Canada goose with a used condom on its head that is too busy attacking you to be properly photographed?

For me, the answer is three time in the last month.

If “well-behaved” pit bulls can randomly go crazy and rip up a school yard, the breed is too volatile to go without significant regulation. This is not an isolated incident. This is not even about punishing dogs (that doesn’t work) but about acknowledging that the average dog owner cannot prevent a pit bull from becoming dangerous to human life.

No. She hasn’t. She should be in jail. She isn’t.

If regulations aren’t working, you change the regulations, or you step up enforcement, or both.

These animals are too fragile to be owned by people that cannot manage them. You should need a license to own them, should not be allowed to have fertile ones without paying a substantial annual fee, and the fines associated with failing to follow this should be ruinously expensive or result in the death of the animal in question. This should eliminate the breed over time, or keep it in the hands of people that can control it best.

What would a bill that bans the breed do?

Reduce the number of dangerous dogs over time, humiliate the person singly responsible for doing school-shooting damage to an elementary school and risking secondary fatalities by failing to get them their rabies shots.

We don’t need guarantees that a cure would prevent the harm it’s trying to address, just a reasonable calculation.
