DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday when he said: "We also have a policy that if you're driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety.

"And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that's their fault for impinging on you."

DeSantis' comments come ahead of the "No Kings" protests planned for June 14. Protest organizers have said the demonstrations are non-violent and are providing deescalation training to people taking part.

I removed this guy's blatantly rule-breaking (in multiple ways) comment, but because he had written it in response to my own comment I also went to the trouble of explaining myself. He decided to escalate his toxic behavior by accusing me of abusing my power anyway, so what other choice did I have but to ban him?

A woman has sued an Atlanta police officer for allegedly leaving her breasts exposed while taking her from her house to a squad car – where she sat several hours, topless, while officers stopped and looked at her, with one masked officer opening the car door to take a photo.

The incident took place during a pre-dawn, Swat-style raid staged by Atlanta police and agents from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (or ATF), on 8 February 2024. The agents sought evidence related to the arson of police motorcycles and cars, carried out in opposition to a controversial police training center known as “Cop City”, which has attracted local, national and internet media attention.

The raid – including the woman’s experience of being left topless for hours – was reported on by the Guardian at the time. The lawsuit, filed 23 May by Atlanta-area attorneys Jeff Filipovits and Wingo F Smith, asserts that the woman’s fourth amendment rights protecting her against unreasonable seizure were violated during the raid and draws on details laid out in the Guardian’s story.

I'm noticing a pattern starting to develop in the community I mod (just barely -- it's only happened 3 times so far) where a user that posts a fairly large amount of relevant content occasionally posts weird spam with a title of alternating letter nonsense (e.g. "zazaz" or "sdsdsds") and a link that goes to some random domain that serves nothing but a default 404 error (as in the domain is registered and there's a server responding to requests, but there's no content for it to serve).

I suppose it could just be bad behavior on the part of said users, but it feels more like a bug or their account getting hijacked or something. Anybody have any insight?

I did not expect a random backpacking Youtuber to make a mostly-non-backpacking documentary this compelling.
