The guy served 12 and a half years for buying food for a couple who evaded their taxes and providing weapons that didn’t result in any injuries or death.

According to this article, he would still be in jail if he didn’t get lucky with the Supreme Court changing the law he got convicted of?

I imagine he’s seeking his constitutional rights back due to the authoritarian loons who think rotting in jail for 12+ years is an appropriate punishment for helping a tax evader.

You know that’s pointless semantics when I’m talking about highly suburbanized areas which residents move to often specially because they’re not city-like. Not every “city” needs to have high density housing.

The deforestation comment is just odd. Do you know lumber is a renewable resource? Any global issues with deforestation have nothing to do with squeezing Dover NH into a rental unit that are twice as small. There’s reasonable sustainability and then there’s being a martyr. It’s stupid and unrealistic to expect people to downsize for perpetuity and for small communities to upzone into mid-rise monstrosities.

Massachusetts YIMBYs salivating. You will own nothing and be happy!

What’s Dover’s minimum lot size? Adding tiny home rentals is a net loss for any community since services are almost always supported by commercial properties. When you have higher density homes fitting 2x as many people into the same area as if you had built larger homes with bigger lots, you’re looking for a problem for the desired “solution” of increasing taxes. It’s a big burden on the rest of the tax base.

I don’t live in Dover but I’m never going to celebrate towns trying to become more like cities. It’s an infection

Women’s equivalent to MLS. The fact that we all collectively know a bunch of the players from the US women’s national team but don’t even know the name of their home teams/league tells you just how many people are interested in watching women’s soccer outside of the Women’s World Cup.

That will always have core fans because it’s an excuse for college students to drink and hang out. And it leverages the already large hockey fanbase here since you get to see a lot of good games / prospects. The fact that it’s actually exciting is just a bonus… which women’s softball definitely isn’t (baseball has had declining viewership relative to other sports because of its lethargic pace of play)

Edit: it’s soccer, not softball lmao

Behold everyday moonbat mental gymnastics: to on one hand believe that the legal system is unequal and needlessly punitive and at the same time advocating for excessively long punishments for white thought crime.

Every white on black crime is now treated as a potential hate crime and sensationalized as such regardless of evidence to the contrary (clear evidence such as libel cases being won against media companies pushing a false narrative).

Meanwhile legitimate racial-bias crimes against white victims are essentially never a hate crime by design even when the perpetrator is overtly racist to the point where they’re yelling racial slurs and/or have a history of posting racial tirades online. When people found Frank James YouTube account, the NY Times wrote “the shooting suspect left troubling videos online”. They intentionally buried the lede - being a black nationalist is more than “troubling”.

The criteria for a hate crime in various states essentially codifies the bar as lower for certain groups and higher for others. If the noble idea is to dissuade interracial and racially/ethnically/religiously/sexuality motivated crime, shouldn’t all hate crimes be punished accordingly? Shouldn’t we be able to look up simple things like what groups are committing interracial crimes without nefarious intervention from those who believe access to the data itself would might make people racist (this was literally the stated reason SF wouldn’t various info on BART transit crimes).
