Reply to comment by [deleted] in 'I killed a man today': Russian Klim Kerzhaev soldier accused of war crimes in absentia after audio files intercepted | CNN by Viagra_Was_My_Idea

I'm happy to see the ICC target these individuals responsible for giving the orders and those who carried out war crimes against civilians. I'd like to see that doctrine applied unilaterally without exception.

Journalist target, laughing about killing him and his kids "shouldn't have brought your kids to a war zone"

Edit: "valid military targets" can be justified with just about any target. "The Ukrainians were using the apartment complex to stage assaults from" or "the building was filled with hostiles and their hostages, we decided not to waste Russian lives to clear the building"

It should all sound pretty familiar for people who lived through 2002-2012 especially. There was outlandish justifications used but were readily gobbled up by American civilians beating their chest for more bloodshed.

When you live in the wild what do you expect. I live in CO and would never live in a remote area like that. Also never hike alone or trail run alone unless it is a popular area. We live in their territory, wish people would respect that.

Reply to comment by JBupp in Teen Driver In Hutchinson Parkway Crash That Killed 5 Children Had No License - Officials by dissolutewastrel

Was rented to a relative. I'm guessing the teenagers took it for a joyride, and the younger kids went along for fun.

It's probably nothing suspicious. There were two sets of siblings in the car at least. Apparently the driving teen had taken cars out before and gotten in trouble for it (with his family, not legally).

There's a hiking trail just south west of Montrose. If memory serves it's Spring Creek canyon. The trail goes so close to a puma den you can smell the scent they spray to mark their territory. I never saw one except very briefly crossing the main road in Beaver Creek. I know 3 people who poached pumas.

Tbf whenever a colorado state wide news reports on a mountain town its always referred to as a "Colorado town" in the headline or opening words of all reports here for as long as I've been alive. So it's just how we do it here cause even we don't bother to learn the name of every Nederland or Southpark

The mountain lions attacking people isn't that unusual for at least the decades I've been here. I personally know a number of people who've have very close run ins with unafraid mountain lions around here the past 30 years. It may be happening more but it's simply to be expected due to what we're doing to their homes (the same thing is happening with all the animals around here).

Currently I still worry about running into a moose or a scared deer more than a mountain lion (I tend to try to keep my head up for all the wildlife of course) as I and people I know have had many more close calls with moose, elk, and deer up in the mountains than the mountain lions.

Would be nice if we'd just stop fighting for space with them and just let them have more breathing room
