"Are you kidding me?" / Facepalm Thread (pt 2)

[ghuns]

Reminds me of a coworker years ago. He had been through a very bitter divorce. This was before the internet. He complained to me one day that just couldn't find someone he wanted to start a long term relationship with. I suggested he start looking in the places where women he’d want to be with would hang out. He replied, “I’ve tried all the pickup bars.”

Huh. And you say you can’t find the kind of woman you want to be with at a pickup bar? Yeah. That’s really odd. Seems like that would be the exact place to find anlong term relationship.

Where'd you want him to go? A convent?

Cause those chicks seem seriously committed to a long term relationship.

I think it was on Colin Cowherd's radio show, he said that it's OK to meet a woman in a bar and take her home, but realize that the closest thing to breakfast that you're gonna get is a Bloody Mary with a celery stick.

All these years ago I was taught that dull knives were the dangerous ones.

Cause you know, it's SO HARD to make a knife.
Not a pretty knife. Just a simple stabby knife.

IMPOSSIBLE! I guess if you're a judge it is anyway.

this guy has obviously never tried to cut a spaghetti squash in half. Pointy bits on knives are very helpful.

I really don't want to give up my pointy knives. I'm going to get my (lifetime) fishmongers license, just in case.

He's the same as other people that state "no one needs...".

That's what bandsaws are for.

Holy ****, free this man.

This Man Was Released From Prison and Rebuilt His Life; Two Years Later He Got Sent Back Because of an 'Error' - Hit & Run : Reason.com

What do Kim Kardashian, Joy Reid, and The Federalist have in common?

They're all aghast at the case of Matthew Charles, a Tennessee man who was recently sent back to federal prison after two years of freedom when an appeals court ruled he had been released in error. Now criminal justice reformers and thousands of others are calling on President Donald Trump to commute Charles' sentence.

Charles was released early from federal prison in 2016, having served 21 years of a 35-year sentence for selling crack to a police informant. Federal prosecutors then appealed, arguing that, because Charles had been originally been classified as a "career offender," he was ineligible for the retroactive sentencing reductions put into place during the Obama presidency.

Despite a request from a federal judge asking prosecutors to drop their appeal, citing Charles' "undisputed rehabilitation," the U.S. Attorney's Office pressed on. A federal appeals court ruled that, by the letter of the law, Charles should never have been released from prison.

Agreed. There has to be a place for "mercy", though I would say he paid his debt.

 

[actaeon277]

Doesn't that come under double jeopardy?

I use a cleaver and a rubber mallet or a chunk of maul handle I keep in the kitchen.

 

[HoughMade]

No. He was only tried once. He would be serving the rest of his original term.

 

[actaeon277]

No. He was only tried once. He would be serving the rest of his original term.

And what if it took 40 years to make that determination?
At what point do they say, "enough time has passed"?
Also, it still seems like double jeopardy to me. I know, I'll take your word for it that it's not, but.. they determined he could leave.
Seems to me, that's the end, and to put him back would require a new sentence.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Do you enjoy propaganda? Because that's what you're getting from Fox News regarding the Philadelphia Eagles/White House situation.

The Eagles have never knelt during the anthem... they pulled this image of players praying to push the White House propaganda about "disrespecting the anthem".

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Fox has apologized. Damage done, so it doesn't really matter.

I heard down at the knife shop they're doing away with the lifetime license.

Lol, reminds me more of a parade than a police pursuit. Glad no one was seriously injured.
