Austin is one of those Bolshevik "Meccas" where the criminal here probably hasn't faced any consequences for his actions but the victim is getting hammered by the "caring" nanny state.
And we already have apologists for the nanny state commenting on how wonderful the state is for dropping the hammer.
You have to love Bolsheviks!

The keto diet is trying to force the body into a state of ketosis, where your body skips the step of converting fats to glucose. There are 2 potential uses for this, treating epilepsy, and type 2 diabetes.
However to actually achieve ketosis requires an EXTREME diet, and if you don't fully reach ketosis then you don't get any of the benefits. Just 50 grams of carbohydrates is too much. A true keto diet is like, 80% pure fat. Imagine sitting down for dinner and mostly heavy cream and butter.
​
It may have negative effects on your heart health, but since its primary use is for treating epilepsy that medications cannot control, that's generally considered acceptable. The halfassed keto diets that people do for weight loss are just pointless.

Back in the day, we'd refer to such a person as a goof.

Problematically, the Only If It’s In My Own Back Yard mindset basically follows: ‘Why should I care about others' children’s troubles and turmoil — my family and I are alright?’ or ‘What is in it for me, the taxpayer, if I support programs for other people’s children, however abused?’
While some people will justify it as a normal thus moral as well as ethical human evolutionary function, the self-serving OIIIMOBY mentality can and does debilitate progress, even when it is most needed. And it seems this distinct form of societal penny wisdom but pound foolishness is a very unfortunate human characteristic that is likely with us to stay.
The wellbeing of all children — and not just what other parents’ children might/will cost us as future criminals or costly cases of government care, etcetera — should be of great importance to us all, regardless of whether we’re doing a great job with our own developing children.

I know doctors that have paid for abortions because they knocked up patients. One paid off a patient when she had the baby. Yes, most were OB/GYN. It’s so common that when my wife went for a check up, there’s a female nurse always in the room if the doctor is male. If the doctor is a woman, no extra nurse.

Why is everyone surprised that Republicans don't care about dying children? They let them die in school shootings all the time and prefer to protect their guns over their own kids. And they'd rather watch newborns die after birth than allow women to have an abortion. These people are sociopaths, psychotic. They have no morals, no ethics, no integrity.

He's from Wasilla, where they elected Sara Palin. There must be some toxin in the water there that turns residents' brains to shit.

on the one side, I think the guy literally trying to steal a puppy needs a beat-down, on the other side, cops need to not be those people.

I mean... vegetable oil is a primary ingredient in a lot of flavored creamers. Something fun you learn when you or someone you care about has food allergies.

The officers, meanwhile, claimed during cross-examination to have no recollection of many of the specifics, providing at times ambiguous answers or replying, "I can't speak to that."
-so the officers are guilty AF. This kind of bullshit is practically a signed confession. Hope that are at the very least terminated.
