I’m banning myself from life.

That’s a rumor that’s going around. The flight path makes no sense for a VIP (for example, flying over the city center of occupied Homs), and while it was pretty clearly a crash of a military plane, that doesn’t at all imply it was al-Assad’s. We don’t know the destination, just that he boarded a plane, but I’m guessing we’ll see him turn up soon enough.

There’s no evidence this was Assad (and the flight path directly over Homs instead of e.g. into Iraq makes it implausible), but it seems like it was almost definitely a plane crash.

Not sure if I would have preferred al-Assad having to live out the rest of his life in exile and constantly look over his own shoulder… Or seeing him imprisoned in Syria and/or publicly hanged for his crimes against humanity. But I guess with him having fled via plane, we’ll all have to accept the former.

Not supporting ISIS

Ah yes, I forgot that Syria outside of the SDF’s control is just Assad and ISIS and nobody else. Totally slipped my mind that it’s not pockets of ISIS control in the southeast opening up in the power vacuum created by Assad tripping over his own dick to rush troops back to Damascus; it’s that actually, all the miscellaneous rebel groups that are routing the wildly incompetent SAA are just ISIS acting as American proxies. That sure clears things up. Damn, I understand why tankies are coping so hard now; too bad Mr. Sarin Gas himself is going to be executed or (unlikely best case for him) in exile within a couple weeks then. :(

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man (2002).

Is a tankie upset that Assad’s either going to be strung up or smuggled into exile by year’s end? The right panel being wrong doesn’t mean that Assad’s dictatorship doesn’t deserve to collapse.

This isn’t true. Harboring someone from the police after they commit a crime makes you an accessory, not a primary.

Edit: to be more concrete and actually cite what I’m saying (my bad), we’ll use federal law since they clearly crossed state lines multiple times in the stages of committing this act of heroism crime:

An accessory after-the-fact is someone who, knowing a crime was committed, receives, relieves, comforts, or assists the offender or in any manner aids them to escape arrest or punishment. See: U.S. v. Triplett, 92 F.2d 1174 (5th Cir. 1991). The aid provided by the defendant to the principal must be given after the principal completes the crime.

The basic elements the government must demonstrate to prove that a defendant was an accessory after-the-fact are: (1) the commission of an underlying crime against the United States; (2) the defendant’s knowledge of that offense; and (3) assistance by the defendant in order to prevent the apprehension, trial, or punishment of the offender. See: U.S. v. White, 135 S. Ct. 1573, 191 L. Ed. 2d 656 (2015); Ellis v. U.S., 806 F. Supp. 2d 538 (E.D. N.Y. 2011).

“Finally, God, take me.”

This list is outdated. David Joyner replaced Karen Lynch at CVS Health this October.

Oklahoma City Fraternal Order of Police President Mark Nelson said the organization is sympathetic to Vu and recognizes the severity of his injuries but expressed concern about the impact the charges will have on officers in the field.

DDD

And it still ends up being worse than its FOSS competitor…

I would honestly go so far as to suggest that in the long term, not having this monster raise them (given they’ll still have plenty of money) probably leaves them better off.

Heh.

So actually, about that…

Even with context…

I just like to watch you guys (react to the posts).

I think you’re misreading this sentence: I think it’s clearly implying public outrage surrounding US health insurance, not about the killing itself. “The killing has sparked public outrage and dark humor on social media” pretty clearly implies to me that they mean the public outrage associated with the dark humor.
