Sat 22:21:16  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ If they're going to be here while their case plays out, it makes sense that they pay for that. It's not "free" to taxpayers to have someone here competing with people who are already on the fringes of employability filing all sorts of bullshit forms.

Sun 21:25:26  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ The hit and run is two crimes, at least.
Sun 21:25:44  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ One for hit and run, and one for failure to report an accident.
Sun 21:25:54  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Those sound like the same thing, but they're actually not.
Sun 21:26:20  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ If you fled the scene and called 911 within a certain time frame it wouldn't be failure to report, but it would be leaving the scene.
Sun 21:26:43  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So people flee because they're drunk.
Sun 21:26:52  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But it's better to stop and call 911 even if you're drunk.
Sun 21:27:10  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ You'll get in way less trouble for drunk driving than you will for fleeing and failure to report.
Sun 21:27:26  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So, the law is set up like this on purpose.
Sun 21:27:49  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Out of one incident, there's potentially between 3 and 7 criminal charges that could potentially come from it.
Sun 21:28:07  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They do this because it makes it easier to get you to plead down in exchange for almost nothing in return.
Sun 21:28:47  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ If there's only one crime on the indictment, you have not only less incentive to take a guilty plea, but the prosecutor has more incentive to come way down because he could only take one thing to trial.
Sun 21:29:04  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But when it's 3-7 charges, then you have a lot less room to negotiate.
Sun 21:29:13  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So they'll hit you with everything it could possibly be.
Sun 21:29:34  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They know that you know you won't get away from all of it.
Sun 21:30:04  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ That's why they're so good at "winning".

Sun 21:40:11  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ "While his sprites suggest he would cause more damage when armored, in fact, he doesn't.

Sun 21:58:25  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So you get more people who we would absolutely never let in through legal channels.
Sun 21:58:32  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ where's vetting working, though?
Sun 21:58:49  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ if it works, you should have tried it on your presidential candidates before one of them became king...
Sun 21:58:54  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Well, you basically ask their home country "Hey, do they have crime records there?"
Sun 21:59:04  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ trusting a state? bad idea.
Sun 21:59:07  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And you look at their online presence.
Sun 21:59:14  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Well, it's worse when they just sneak in.
Sun 21:59:20  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Then you don't get to investigate them at all.
Sun 21:59:45  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ When a person breaks into the country and doesn't even bother to ask if it's okay...
Sun 21:59:52  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They've already committed a crime.
Sun 22:00:17  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ So most illegal immigrants are criminals already.
Sun 22:00:31  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ If we have no record of this person even entering the country, it means illegal entry.
Sun 22:00:51  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Illegally entering the country is a crime.
Sun 22:01:06  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Overstaying a visa isn't a crime, but it's a civil matter with legal consequences.
Sun 22:01:15  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Such as being deported and banned for years, or even forever.
Sun 22:01:29  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And if you re-enter when you've been banned that's an automatic felony.
Sun 22:01:39  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ none of it seems worse than what states, megacorporations and cults do
Sun 22:01:56  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Well, I'd like them to get to know these people a little better.
Sun 22:02:14  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ We'd have less stuff like the decapitated woman in bleach on the front lawn.
Sun 22:02:35  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Or the Venezuelan man and the Honduran man who killed a guy in Chicago that they met on Grindr.
Sun 22:06:29  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ lol @ dissolving the bathtub
Sun 22:11:09  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ "Oh God!"
Sun 22:11:11  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ :D
Sun 22:11:28  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ He's a chemist. So he already knew what was happening back there before he looked.
Sun 22:12:04  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ It will break down the molecular bonds of almost anything. One thing it won't eat through is #4 plastic.
Sun 22:12:31  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Which is why he gave Jesse specific instructions to go out and find a #4 plastic tub, and Jesse gave up after trying one home improvement store.
Sun 22:12:53  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ yeah
Sun 22:12:54  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And went back and smoked some meth and decided that dissolving a body in his upstairs bathtub would be a quick way to dispose of it.
Sun 22:13:21  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ MinceR, That's how they killed a T-1000 in Terminator Genesys.
Sun 22:13:34  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ #4, is that LDPE?
Sun 22:13:48  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They tricked it into running after one of them under a vat of acid and then ripped open the vat with bullets.
Sun 22:13:53  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Yep.
Sun 22:14:30  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ You could see the T-1000 dissolving in parts and pieces and trying to keep its form together to kill them before it was destroyed completely.
Sun 22:14:37  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ That's job dedication for you I guess.
