We had ~200% snowpack and a decent heat wave. worst flooding in two hundred years. (worse than '48 in Grand Forks B.C.) We should all get used to hearing "worst" ... fire, flood, windstorm, snowstorm, icestorm, drought etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 https://globalnews.ca/news/4204588/distracted-drivers-texters-liable/ Quote An insurance and legal expert says texters could be held liable for any damages if they message someone they know is driving and that person has an accident. This is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but while the caption on the tweet may be misleading and the actual events leading to the beating are in question (for some reason your "snopes" accepts one side of this he-said-she-said without question... hmmm), the result is quite clear. There are some areas of Europe where vigilante mob justice is the norm and the local police stay away. Tell me... does it seem believable that this man was asked to put away his drink and then his son attacked the wait staff? I mean.. really? And even if that is accurate, it doesn't excuse mob justice being handed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Just now, blue_gold_84 said: Alcohol...? Usually pairs lousily with poor judgement. As the old adage goes: play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And that ProActive Patriots Twitter account... Oh, boy. Lots of fear mongering and tinfoil on that feed. Last time I was in Vegas, one of my buddies posted a tweet, something about how the hookers we met wanted too much money because he loved his wife. One of the other guys we were with caught it and suggested he delete it before the wife saw it. He realised he should think twice before posting while we were there and to let the others know if we posted stupid. Have to know when your judgement is impaired. Doubly important for a public person like this. Very unfortunate. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
