[marcusrobertobaq]

80% of Connor 60 theories are debunked the moment u learn it may look like something WOW to some people cuz QD didn't have the balls time to finish a a logic script and Cage decided taking another approach to Connors deaths mid way and it got Connor's Act 3 fucked up, also likely cuz Act 3 itself was either too short or the intentions becoming too big.

[disobey-disappoint-deviate]

Where does the idea that Connor would go back to the DPD even come from? 😭

It's so much more likely that Hank would leave the force instead of Connor going back there. They wouldn't want him back! He wouldn't want them back! He was never a real cop there, he was only sent by Cyberlife to assist in the deviant cases, likely because Cyberlife HAD to step in somehow since it was their responsibility and their androids who deviated.

I don't mean fanfiction, write whatever your hearts desire, but people actually believe this is what would happen after the credits. But why?

Markus tells him like 5 times that his place is with his people, he frees a gazillion of androids to shift the balance of power in the androids' benefit, he even stands on that podium with the Jericho crew. So why would he abandon them - his people who need his skill and whatever he can offer the android movement WHO DON'T EVEN HAVE RIGHTS YET, to assist the human cops who bullied him instead?

If It Sucks, I’m Writing You Up - G.R.

wc: 3k

genre/warnings: enemies to lovers, sfw, martinez is a made up char for the plot :^

summary: You hated working with Detective Gavin Reed. He was rude, arrogant, and pushed every one of your buttons—but for some reason, you couldn't stop thinking about him. One late night at the DPD, a teasing conversation turns into something neither of you expected.

It was almost midnight at the Detroit Police Department, and the place had thinned out to a skeleton crew. The only sounds were the buzz of fluorescent lights and the occasional clack of keyboards. You leaned against the vending machine in the break room, sipping on bad coffee that tasted more like regret.

Martinez, one of the other detectives on night duty, stood beside you, eyeing you with that grin that meant trouble.

“So,” she started, voice hushed but playful, “the way you and Reed go at it? I swear, it looks like you two tear each other’s clothes off after shift.”

You snorted. “Gross. No.”

“I’m serious!” she laughed. “All that arguing, the tension? You two have the kind of hate sex energy that melts walls. You sure there’s not a little unresolved tension there?”

“The only tension is me not punching him in the face.

“Uh-huh.” Martinez sipped her drink. “Bet he’s good with his hands though.”

You gave her a warning look, but your ears were burning.

“You’re insane,” you muttered.

“You didn’t say no fast enough.”

“Martinez—”

“Don’t stop on my account,” came a voice from the doorway.

You froze. Slowly, you turned. Gavin Reed leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, his usual smirk firmly in place.

“Didn’t mean to interrupt your girl talk,” he said. “But, hey—good to know I’m living rent-free in your head.”

Martinez laughed and made a quick exit, clearly proud of herself.

You stayed behind, heart pounding with embarrassment and irritation.

Back at your desk, the silence between you two was sharp. You focused hard on your files, pretending you couldn’t feel him looking at you.

“You know,” he said after a while, his voice lazy, “you didn’t exactly deny it with much conviction.”

“Deny what?” you asked flatly.

“That you’ve thought about it.”

You looked up slowly. “Do you want me to tase you?”

He grinned. “Kinky.”

“You’re insufferable.”

“And yet, here we are. Alone. Again.”

You rolled your eyes and went back to reading. A few moments passed.

“You doing anything tomorrow night?” he asked casually.

That made you pause. “Why?”

“Thought maybe we could get a drink. Talk. Argue somewhere with better lighting.”

You blinked. “Are you serious?”

“Deadly.” He leaned in a little. “I asked because I want to. Not because I want to mess with you.”

You stared at him for a long second. “Fine. But if it sucks, I’m writing you up.”

The bar he picked was tucked away on a quiet street. Low lights, soft music, and a few scattered booths. You slid into the one he was already sitting in.

“You’re not late,” he said.

“You sound disappointed.”

“Nah.” He took a sip of his beer. “I kind of wanted to see what you looked like when you weren’t glaring at me under fluorescent lights.”

You raised an eyebrow. “Flatter me again, and I might throw my drink at you.”

“Noted.”

They ordered. The food was forgettable. The banter wasn’t.

“You always been this much of a pain in the ass?” you asked.

“Pretty much. My mom says it builds character.”

You actually laughed, a quiet, surprised sound. “You have a mom?”

“Believe it or not.” He looked at you for a second, eyes more serious now. “What about you? Always been the type to pick fights in the bullpen?”

“Only with guys who deserve it.”

“Lucky me.”

There was a pause. The kind that felt like something unsaid hung just between you two.

“Look,” Gavin said, voice lower, “I know I’m a lot. I give people crap. It’s easier that way.

You tilted your head. “You trying to explain yourself to me now?”

“Yeah. Maybe. Just… I don’t hate you, okay? I might’ve acted like it. But I don’t. I like that you fight back. I like that you’re not scared of me.”

You looked at him carefully, surprised by the sudden honesty.

“You’re not so scary, Reed,” you said softly.

He smiled, just a little. “Good. That’d make this date a real HR nightmare.”

Later, you walked back toward your cars, the chill air sobering after the heat of the bar.

“So…” Gavin started, stuffing his hands in his pockets. “Did I ruin it?”

You shook your head. “Not entirely.”

“Damn. I was going for charming.”

“Debatable,” you smirked.

You stood there, the city buzzing around you. You stepped a little closer.

“You kiss me right now, Reed, and I’ll break your nose,” you warned.

“Noted,” he said, grinning.

You didn’t kiss. But you didn’t walk away either.

Just stood there a little too long.

Something had changed.

And both of you knew it.

The next morning, the DPD was its usual chaotic self. You were already at your desk, coffee in hand, eyes bleary.

“So,” Martinez slid up beside you, eyes glittering, “how was the date?"

You didn’t look at her. “It was fine.”

“Fine? That’s all I get? Come on, did he show up in that stupid jacket? Did he say anything dumb? Did he make you laugh?”

You bit back a smirk. “Yes, yes, and maybe.”

Before Martinez could say more, Gavin dropped a file on your desk without a word. As he walked away, he shot you a subtle wink.

Martinez’s jaw dropped. “He winked. That’s basically marriage in his language.”

You just sipped your coffee. “Shut up, Martinez.”

But you didn’t stop smiling.

DBH Prompt 004: DPD Helps With Android Salvage (Angst Ahead!)

[[TW: Canon-typical android gore and abuse. Do I even need to tag that in this fandom? This is literally Violence to Androids: The Game.]] I've seen a lot (and I mean a lot) of post-revolution stuff where Connor and Hank (or Nines and Reed, etc.) get deployed to investigate android homicides (androidicides?) and all a few weeks after the revolution, and now-androids-are-murder-victims and all, but I feel like we're collectively forgetting something: There's an entire hellscape salvage yard full of semi-functional androids just sitting in Detroit. Maybe more than one. Dead and dying androids who are being granted rights, who are need of immediate emergency aid. The civilian repair technicians have evacuated from the city… and regular EMS isn't going to be able to help. Which usually means the task gets funneled to police and fire services, and volunteer search & rescue. So, you got a whole bunch of emergency services workers who are either benched because Detroit is under martial law, or otherwise being voluntold/deployed to the scrapyard to help Connor's army of AP700s in an emergency triage/parts salvage operation to save as many of those androids as possible, seeing as they're now, like, actual citizens that need saving. Cue robo body horror, existential angst, DPD officers with anti-android sentiments (looking at you, Gavin) getting traumatized by the sheer volume of android gore (a million groaning, glitching, half-deactivated horror stories waiting to be cataloged, triaged, reassembled with the spare parts of their permanently lost brethren), humans tasked with sorting limbs into piles while androids scan bodies and processors for the possibility of reactivation and scramble to save as many as possible… nobody comes out of that emotionally well. You'd have to be a psychopath to not empathize with all the sad androids.

It's ugly, awful work. Chris is tormented over guilt for contributing to the pile a few days earlier. Gavin starts out being an ass because he's Gavin, but as the day wears on he has to admit there's Big Feelings happening. Tina is crying because she just found a YK model pleading for its human owner-parent to come back. Wilson (the one that Connor saved on the rooftop) is determined to help as many androids as he can since an android saved him when it didn't have to. He's trying to embody the boy from the starfish parable. Everyone is overwhelmed and tired and hurting and surrounded by dying androids people that days ago they would have tossed in a scrap heap themselves. Jericho sends over a news crew to document the salvage efforts and to try and drum up more volunteers, but they're also processing the bodies that were decommissioned in the camps for usable parts, too. AP700s are having emotional breakdowns because they've been deviated for like a day and now have to deal with all this, there's no one else available.

I mean, if you reclassify an android as a person with rights, you can't just ignore the giant screaming piles of bodies in the scrapyard. Right? Somebody's gotta do something about the mass casualty event that's casually chilling on the street corner.

[moeblob]

So… do you ship Gavin with anyone *cough* Nines *cough* or do you prefer platonic content of Gavin?

I'm gonna be so real with you. My entire exposure before playing DBH was Reed900 fics and the Decharts streaming on twitch (where i heard "28 stab wounds!").

So I'd read lots of fics and that's why I love Chris so much honestly. He's such a good guy! I love straight wingman Chris to his volatile friend who has a crush on an android but was in denial. But yeah my main experience was people putting a guy with minimal (angry) screen time and a guy with no spoken lines in romantic settings.

I love platonic relations though... so that's been the more prominent feature in my art as I adjust and learn how to draw the cast!

I also have a lot of ideas for Gavin and other DPD crew/Nines interacting. I just haven't had energy sadly! They're written down for later!

And fun fact: I've been told it's basically my brand to have mutual pining as a defining relationship trait. Guess what I like about Reed900. It's the fact a lot of fics are catering to me and mutual pining. They've catered to me since before I played the game.

[captaincurly123]

— Captain's Log , 1/11/25 [last update, today!]

Hello, my name is Captain Grant Curly! I am the Captain of the Pony Express Type-F freighter 0926WO Class C, also known as "The Tulpar" and I will be posting during the voyage. Due to this, I may take a moment to respond to any interactions!

This is my first time on Tumblr and I am greatly looking forward to meeting others. 😊

Also, I am not entirely well versed in the World Wide Web, so I apologize for any errors due to this! I've never had a 'blog' before, but Daisuke mentioned our company issued devices could access certain sites such as this one and it seemed many of the crew was intrigued. He helped me set up an account so I could monitor the crew's activity and ensure no authorized information was leaked.

Still getting used to the site's layout and functions. Any help is greatly appreciated!

OOC INFORMATION:

yoo my name's mike or jesse [he/him] ! obviously, i am not curly. do not talk to him like he is me and vice versa. no hard age interaction restrictions but i'd prefer you be 15-16+ due to the content involved, thanks

asks are so so appreciated i will jump with glee and joy

TW !!!!

Curly frequently dissociates and experiences de-realization and this may be mentioned. As this is paired with a Jimmy blog, reblogs may consist of crude humor; cannibalism; self harm/suicide; violence; etc.

Curly is morally grey, and he may condone and enable harmful actions. This does not reflect my views at all.

⸝⸝ ⁽⁽ ROLEPLAY INFORMATION

this blog is a parody blog of Captain Grant Curly from mouthwashing, and is pre-crash. It's meant to be read as if he has gained access to the internet, which means posts will not contain actions. I'm not used to tumblr roleplay whatsoever, and outside of it I'm a semi-lit - novella roleplayer. Totally cool with private roleplays and such!

This Curly is: 35-37, 6'1, bisexual (doesn't know it, isn't entirely closeted.) Born in Scotland, later moving to live in Michigan. He's a big fan of winter sports and things related to cowboys and westerns! He likes jazz and country music, weightlifting, and anything to do with aerospace and aviation. Only wanted to be a pilot but was saddled into the role of Captain alongside it. Has been with Pony for 15 years.

Has a daughter named Lena from a past marriage.

Has DPD + DPDR . Undiagnosed for both, believes the extent of his mental problems is some mild anxiety disorder and maybe a touch of depression.

Well versed in slashers due to Jimmy watching them, but doesn't particularly like them. Enjoys westerns, rom coms, and romantic films in general.

Used to model.

Favorite MLP characters are Applejack, Shining Armor and Princess Celestia.

Things Connor shouldn't have been able to do if wasn't for CyberLife's shady shit: The Human-related Collection

▷Under DPD assignment arc

To not get fully compromised i'll establish here Connor ain't supposed to [1] start fights with humans and fight back (physically), [2] be publicly hostile and intimidating (esp in front of superiors like Jeffrey), [3] raise major suspicion about the nature of his autonomous range to the point someone asking CyberLife "wtf is this? Get this android out of here now!" before Connor can finish his mission. Be in mind he ain't supposed to, doesn't mean he won't do it if he thinks he got to. ||

Grabbing a dead officer's gun and using it in The Hostage;

Ignoring Jimmy's Bar "No Androids Allowed" sign in Partners;

Spilling Hank's drink in Partners;

Disobeying Hank's order of staying in the car in Partners;

Ignoring Gavin's orders shutting up in The Interrogation;

Pulling Chris to defend an android in The Interrogation;

Giving a Chris (a police officer) a direct and strong tone order when nobody said him to do it in The Interrogation;

Disobeying Hank's orders of going back to the car in On the Run;

Disobeying Hank's orders of not crossing the highway in On the Run;

Leaving Hank to fall from the building in The Nest;

"Invading" Hank's house in Russian Roulette (debatable as he thought Hank was attacked and was an emergency, but i don't think androids got the right of destroying private property even in these cases. Right call would be calling 911);

Slapping Hank's face like that in Russian Roulette;

Interacting with Hank's gun in Russian Roulette;

Using Hank's gun in The Eden Club;

Challenging Hank to shoot him instead of de-escalating the situation in The Bridge;

Grabbing a distracted FBI agent's gun without his permission in Public Enemy;

Ignoring Hank's (or even Kamski's) order of not shooting Chloe in Meet Kamski;

Pushing Hank to defend himself in Meet Kamski;

▷Solo arc

|| In this arc Connor ain't under DPD's etiquette anymore and got no "legal" ties to 'em, meaning he's 100% free to ignore points [1], [2] and [3] at will if he wants - cuz he should. ||

Entering the evidence room without Hank in Last Chance, Connor;

Messing with the evidence that is now under FBI control in Last Chance, Connor;

Releasing a suspect from his jail in Last Chance, Connor;

Masterlist Part 2

[andthekitchensinkao3]

It’s the HankCon Bingo Masterlist for all my nine prompt fics! 😀 WHEEEE!

First up, filling the prompts False Memories and Touch Starved, I give you:

The Ghost of You - a standalone fic full of angst, in which a glitch causes Connor to tap into a myriad alternate paths he could have taken with Hank, but ultimately never did; and I shamelessly reference some of my other fic ‘verses.

Touch - a brief but sweet PWP directly following the events of Ghost of You, in which Connor and Hank both realize just how starved for physical connection they are.

Filling the prompt Too Shaky to Stand - Aftershocks. (A fic that borders the PWP territory, set in a (possibly) alternate aftermath of one of my WiPs The Kamski Experience, a human AU where the DPD team is a documentary film crew invited to a privately owned island/mansion for an exclusive peek into genius entrepreneur Elijah Kamski’s newest project - and the work weekend turns into a forced stay at Hotel Horror.) Human AU, featuring transmasc Hank and genderfluid Connor. They both need to heal for various reasons, and find it easier to do so with each other.

For prompts PTSD, Only One Bed, Free Space and Sleep Deprivation, I present Only You - another alternate path for one of my old, old fics Being Alive. A Reverse AU HankCon, my style, in which Hank’s still Hank, and Connor’s very much himself. Cole’s alive and well. And things are nothing short of complicated.

Book Store AU - an as of yet unnamed snippet of a fic that’s bound to get more chapters or a whole big-ass complicated storyline down the road. We’ll see. :3

And last but very much not least, for the Dom/Sub prompt: Spa Day, in which a gentle dom/top Connor takes care of stressed out, aching sub/bottom Hank. Currently getting chapter 3/5 done for posting. Fingers crossed it goes up tonight 🙂

Thanks again to the mods of the HankCon Bingo event - and thank you to @sweeteatercat who talked about it just in time for me to join up too. <3<3<3<3

The modern Rules for Radicals

Students participating in the Gaza Solidarity Encampments at universities across the country are being taught to become militants, according to nine manuals obtained by The Free Press. Many of the manuals, which are being shared via phone group chats with students across the country, encourage “militancy” and instruct protesters to break laws, seize buildings, vandalize them, and then use tactics to evade police detection and arrest. One guide, called “De-arrest Primer,” teaches protesters to physically resist arrest or, in some cases, assault police officers or throw projectiles at them to protect fellow “comrades” from arrest. “Each de-arrest,” the guide states, “is a micro-intifada which can spread and inspire others until we may finally shake off this noxious ruling order all together.”*** https://www.thefp.com/p/student-protest-guides-violence-micro-intafada

Politically motivated?

An indictment was unsealed today in the Southern District of Texas charging U.S. Congressman Enrique Roberto “Henry” Cuellar, 68, and his wife, Imelda Cuellar, 67, both of Laredo, Texas, with participating in two schemes involving bribery, unlawful foreign influence, and money laundering. Congressman Cuellar and Imelda Cuellar made their initial court appearance today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dena Palermo in Houston.

According to court documents, beginning in at least December 2014 and continuing through at least November 2021, Congressman Cuellar and Imelda Cuellar allegedly accepted approximately $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: an oil and gas company wholly owned and controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan, and a bank headquartered in Mexico City. The bribe payments were allegedly laundered, pursuant to sham consulting contracts, through a series of front companies and middlemen into shell companies owned by Imelda Cuellar, who performed little to no legitimate work under the contracts. In exchange for the bribes paid by the Azerbaijani oil and gas company, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to use his office to influence U.S. foreign policy in favor of Azerbaijan. In exchange for the bribes paid by the Mexican bank, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to influence legislative activity and to advise and pressure high-ranking U.S. Executive Branch officials regarding measures beneficial to the bank. *** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us-congressman-henry-cuellar-and-his-wife-charged-bribery-unlawful-foreign-influence-and

Stupidity is often a crime

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — Crews rescued a teenage boy who was seriously injured after falling 30 feet down an abandoned missile silo near Deer Trail in Arapahoe County Sunday morning. Crews said he is expected to survive. It happened around 3:30 a.m. near 82000 E. County Line Road 22, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office said a group of eight teenagers gained access to the entrance of the silo when one of them fell through a two-story shaft and down the underground complex, landing onto twisted metal, broken concrete and stagnant water at the bottom. The sheriff’s office said rescue teams entered the silo hours after arriving on scene. They had to navigate an extremely hazardous underground maze before they were able to locate the 18-year-old victim. The teen was freed from the silo just before 9 a.m. and airlifted to the hospital with serious injuries.*** The property owner told Denver7 that he intends to press charges, which he said he has done in the past. His father bought the property sometime after the silo was decommissioned in the 60s. He said it's been "a headache" to own ever since.*** https://www.koaa.com/news/covering-colorado/crews-rescue-teenage-boy-from-abandoned-missile-silo-near-deer-trail-teen-is-expected-to-survive

Oliver Wiseman notes

→ The janitor versus the multimillionaire: Last week, Suzy Weiss wrote about the tale of two Columbias, captured in a single photograph: a now-viral image of a janitor fighting off an anti-Israel rioter during the occupation of Hamilton Hall.  Per the New York Post, the activist is James Carlson. He also goes by Cody Carlson and Cody Tarlow. A high-ranking police source told the paper he is “a longtime anarchist.” Carlson is not a Columbia undergrad but the 40-year-old son and heir of a prominent ad executive. Carlson owns a $3.4 million Park Slope townhouse that has “four wood-burning fireplaces” according to the Post. Carlson has been charged with “burglary, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, conspiracy, and criminal trespassing.” The whole thing is delicious. Almost as delightful as our favorite trust-fund communist: Fergie Chambers. https://www.thefp.com/p/front-page-there-are-two-sets

Excellent Tablet essay on free speech

Free speech is not a divisible concept. Either everyone is free to say what they want, no matter how noxious others find it, in order to create and sustain the free market of ideas—or else speech isn’t free.***

There is no exception for hate speech in the Constitution. It is not, according to the Constitution of the United States of America, illegal to misgender someone, or call them a dirty kike or a pig, or tell them you want them to be shipped back to Africa, or say that the State of Israel has “no right to exist,” or that all women are nasty hookers who play men for money. Those statements might rightfully earn you the disgust of those around you, as well as exclusion from any number of personal and professional opportunities, or access to private institutions and spaces. But they are not unlawful, and no governmental authority has the standing to penalize you for making or believing them—in the privacy of your home, in the public square, or on the open internet. That includes Congress, which is made up of elected officials. Americans have radically lowered our standards for what we expect of this class of people, but we think we can all draw a line at a basic understanding of the Bill of Rights. The fact that a word or idea is annoying or upsetting to you—or us!—does not make it illegal. [antisemitic speech is not illegal]***

What this looks like in practice is something that every American should be alarmed and repelled by: A small group of powerful people are now using public-private partnerships to silence the Constitution, censor ideas they don’t like, deny their opponents access to banking, credit, the internet, and other public accommodations. (Here, for the skeptics, is a link to 10 examples of times when Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon passed censorship policies because the government told them to do so.) When a platform like Facebook, which currently accounts for a staggering third of all traffic to news sources, colludes with the federal government to suppress reporting on COVID-19, say, or when Twitter, a major digital reincarnation of the public square, kicks out an American political candidate for being too extreme while allowing users like the genocidal leader of Iran to remain, the rules have changed. “Bad speech,” an old adage goes, “is best corrected by good speech.” That was true until these public-private fingers hit the scales, making sure that fight couldn’t ever be fair.***

Over the past half-century, with increasing intentionality and force, American universities have come to see themselves not as repositories of civilization-sustaining knowledge but as social actors that act independently to shape social values—which they do not by teaching young people how to think, but by telling them what to think. Abandoning the principles of free inquiry, these institutions turned themselves into factories for conformity and increasingly bizarre, divisive, and hateful doctrines held by the loudest (and often smallest) factions of their faculty.***

Enter a graduate seminar these days, and you’ll notice right away a strange obsession with language. Academics understand words not as most of us have traditionally understood them—as sharp and useful tools with which to explore reality in all of its complexity—but rather as pagans do, as fetishized, magical spells and incantations that have the power to cause actual harm or bring about real rapture. This is why academic papers overwhelmingly feature such groan-inducing titles like “(Re)membering the Body: A Herstory of Sexual Desire”: If you believe words can actually hurt, you ought to make sure they’re used safely and only by those trained magi who can say the right things in the right order and not upset the angry gods. Indeed, we might go so far as to argue that everything you’re seeing on college campuses these days—all the madness—in one way or another relates to speech, and these new, mangled ideas of it. The arc of censorship is long, but it bends toward Hamilton Hall.***

Fair questions from Nellie & Bari

So: Why crime? And why San Francisco?  For the past decade, the city has been at the forefront of the effort to radically transform the criminal justice system. If you ask advocates of the policy—people like Chesa Boudin, George Gascón, and George Soros—the idea was as straightforward as it was overdue: overhaul a punitive, racist system that was doling out cruel and unusual punishments for minor offenses.  San Francisco has slashed the budget for police, retroactively reduced sentences for nonviolent offenders, and prohibited officers from pursuing individuals committing nonviolent crimes. The city has new mandatory training for police aimed to tackle racial bias and to limit the overall interaction between police and civilians.  But did it work?  Since 2020, the city has suffered rising crime, from rampant burglaries to open-air drug use to public defecation. Half of the city’s retailers have departed the once bustling downtown, and drug stores all over the city are packing it in. In 2022, drug overdose deaths in San Francisco hit a record high. And police response times have become slower, even though cops are now fielding fewer calls. If you’ve visited San Francisco in the past year, you’ve likely seen the problem with your own eyes. If you haven’t, you can find countless videos online, like this one. Or this one. Or this one.  The crime surge is not limited to the City by the Bay. In the years since the pandemic, places like New York and Los Angeles also saw increased homicides, aggravated assaults, shoplifting, and so on.  All of this is why crime is one of voters’ top concerns in the 2024 election cycle. Sixty-eight percent of Republicans and 47 percent of Democrats say reducing crime should be a top policy priority.  Have American cities become too soft on crime? Are progressive prosecutors to blame? Or are deeper causes like poverty and income inequality the real culprits? Is criminal justice reform a necessary step toward justice? Has it made American towns and cities safer? Or is the whole project, despite its high ideals, a mistake? ***

This is all bad theater. The judge knows 10k isn't enough to deter Trump, and he knows he can't get away w/ $1M. At the same time, Trump knows that the fines show he's being persecuted.

California dreaming?

Many 2d Amendment proponents say that when life or death is a matter of seconds, the police will be there in a minute or two. In California today, you may be on hold for a long time.

The Trump CLAS docs case:

Special prosecutor Jack Smith apparently told the court that he had misled the judge about the docs. He had represented to the court that the docs were in exactly the same condition and order as when seized. He now admits that the docs are in the same boxes, but not in the same order. Why does it matter?

Former Trump defense lawyer Tim Parlatore told Just the News that Smith’s “admission is stunning on multiple levels.” First, he said it “reinforces the incompetence” of prosecutors “in conducting basic criminal investigations and prosecutions that I observed when I was on the team.”  “But at a deeper level, the loss of specific document locations is a destruction of exculpatory evidence,” he said. “I went through all of the boxes at NARA [National Archives and Records Administration] and the document order was important because it was clear to us that the boxes had been untouched since leaving the White House.” “For prosecutors who are trying to prove that the defendants knowingly possessed these documents to then destroy the evidence that would undermine that claim is a very serious violation,” Parliatore added.***

Protesters, always on the side of the poor outsiders....

It’s the viral image that captured the clash between the anti-Israel protesters who stormed Columbia and the campus workers who tried to stop them. As the mob invaded Hamilton Hall in the early hours of April 30, a facilities worker was photographed pushing a demonstrator against a wall.  Later, it emerged that the protester was a 40-year-old trust fund kid named James Carlson, who owns a townhouse in Brooklyn worth $2.3 million. The man who tried to hold him back was Mario Torres, 45, who has worked at Columbia—where the average janitor makes less than $19 an hour—for five years. Now, in an exclusive interview with The Free Press, Mario Torres describes the experience of being on duty as protesters stormed the building in the early hours of the morning, breaking glass and barricading the entrances. “We don’t expect to go to work and get swarmed by an angry mob with rope and duct tape and masks and gloves,” he said.***

Gun laws don't work when you refuse to enforce them

Last week the DC Sentencing Commission released their Annual Report, which is one of our only data sources for what happens to cases after police make an arrest. Without this data we would never know that 79% of adults arrested with illegal guns in DC get away without any felony conviction. More than 2,000 gun cases over the last two years were either never prosecuted, dropped or pled down to lesser charges without any public scrutiny of DC’s prosecutor. This report (and similar excellent analyses by the Commission’s staff) are crucial for understanding how prosecutors and judges apply the laws on the books and getting beyond the vibes-based spin that dominates DC crime discourse. The report especially highlights the gap between how the United States Attorney’s Office (USAO) acts in court vs. their poll-tested “tough on crime” public rhetoric. With kids as young as 3 years old being killed in shootings, we desperately need some accountability for our unelected prosecutor who has undermined all of DC’s local efforts to reduce gun violence.***

Because everyone wants to see them....

WAUKESHA — A 67-year-old woman and her 28-year-old boyfriend are accused of having sexual contact in the Waukesha County Jail lobby. Karen Hill and Desmound Cleveland were charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court with disorderly conduct Friday. If convicted, they both face 90 days in jail. A $1,000 signature bond was set for both of them and they entered not guilty pleas. They have a court date of June 3. A Waukesha County Sheriff’s deputy was dispatched to the jail lobby, 515 W. Moreland Blvd., on Thursday for a possible disorderly conduct/lewd and lascivious call that happened in the jail overnight. A jail supervisor called to report two people had sex in the jail lobby and the woman, later identified as Hill, was still on the scene, the criminal complaint said.***

J. Disaster would sentence him to six years.

BINGHAMTON (WBNG) -- Former Johnson City Middle School Principal Daniel Erickson pleaded guilty to luring a child in Broome County Court Monday, the district attorney’s office announced. The crime, which is a felony, stems from an investigation into which Erickson engaged in sexually charged conversations with a 16-year-old girl on Snapchat, a communication app popular among teens and young adults. The incident occurred between June 28 and July 7, 2023. Erickson, of Greene, NY, was arrested when he agreed to meet the student at a remote location to have sex with her. The Broome County Sheriff’s Office detailed that Erickson brought a Grimace Shake and chicken nuggets from McDonald’s as well as condoms with him. Deputies then arrested him. Yet, before he was arrested, the sheriff’s office noted that Erickson had made multiple attempts to meet the girl. He even tried to meet her at her home but the girl would not come out and meet him. He posed as a young adult on Snapchat and used his position as the middle school principal and used databank information from the district to convince her who he was, the sheriff’s office noted. Erickson resigned as the Johnson City Middle School Principal in August 2023. He was 55-years-old at the time.*** Erickson will be sentenced on July 30 to six months of incarceration followed by five years of probation supervision. That will include sex offender conditions, restitution payable to the victim and will have to register as a sex offender. ***

Six months is a lame sentence.
