Is there any topic that you can't somehow twist into a racial issue?

Pick up a rifle and go carry your ass to Ukraine if you feel so strongly about it.

PTHD (Post Traumatic Honk Disorder)

By God, they honked so hard the echoes we're still reverberating through downtown Ottawa a week later!

No, grandson, I'm not exaggerating. It was legendary! A miracle! The press even documented it, boy!

Billy Binion (22 February 2022)

The Arizona House Appropriations Committee on Monday green-lit a bill that would criminalize filming cops on the job in some cases, reinvigorating questions around the constitutionality of such provisions.

If passed into law, House Bill 2319* would make it illegal "for a person to knowingly make a video recording of law enforcement activity, including the handling of an emotionally disturbed person, if the person does not have the permission of the law enforcement officer" and is within 8 feet of the cop. The original text stipulated that it would be a crime to do so within 15 feet, but Rep.

I'm no legal scholar, so somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC, the limit set by the Constitution for the filming of cops is 10 feet.

I think it was half a rod. Or maybe a fathom.
