Reply to comment by WaterChi in Student knocks teacher unconscious after she took away his Nintendo Switch by Rayanmargham
That's the legal system for you. If this went to trial and the jury decided not guilty, the perp could start filling lawsuits against news publications and win a bunch of money. So they put allegedly in there to cover their ass.

Reply to comment by kensingtonGore in Former Navy pilot testifies that he witnessed UFOs with his ‘own eyes', calls on Biden to investigate by DangerStranger138
>The thing is it has been looked into for 75 years, but there's no information forthcoming.
I imagine for a lot of those 75 years it was just talking to pilots and collecting details/anecdotes. Consider how far technology has come since then and it's not an insane idea to consider that we've only recently come to the point where we may be able to glean some information from them.
>Information is apparently being held back from the office of the president.
The President isn't the king of America. The prime duties of the President as the office was originally conceived is as a chief diplomat and the overall commander of the military. I'm sure the president doesn't get briefed on every single CIA mission and undercover FBI operation in existence, because unless that president has a background in counterterrorism or law enforcement, what's the point? It's not like any of the last presidents were physicists or engineers who would be able to lend insight into the situation.

Nope, because the act specifies the specific military awards which it is illegal to fraudulently claim to have earned for tangible benefit.
This is a different "Purple Heart." Which he did "legitimately" earn, by the standard of "the pigs can give themselves whatever medals they wish."

she did not take his switch, the teacher has stated the story where she took his switch is misinformation.

If it's even thought about in regards to his court case then it's for tangible benefit (of association with the REAL Purple Heart award) and as soon as they refer to it even tangentially they should be opened up for massive litigation.

Shooting someone innocent: paid holidays. Not shooting someone innocent: get fired.
We are so proud of you America.

Reply to comment by KaisarDragon in Greta Thunberg has joined a protest against wind farms. Here’s why. by SelectiveSanity
Wherever you build them, there are problems. Build near-shore, costs explode and seagulls get whacked. Build on land, locals complain (noise, health-issues, tourism rate decline, reduction of property value) and hawks and buzzards get whacked.
Same discussion as with nuclear energy. People want clean energy, but please, do not leave the waste near us. Hypocrites everywhere.
Greta is a fool for getting used as a public figure for some local interests. Having only demanded things for years without thinking of the downsides of each solution, she lost all credibility. Her most famous quote is something along the lines of "Our job (as activists) is to demand , not to propose solutions." What a joke.
