Sounds like you clearly don't know any "real" Eagles fans then.

The word in the hospitality industry that NFL "fans" are a whole different sports crowd from, let's say, soccer (and not in the best way).

I don't know whom you are referring to, but just possessing an illegal gun and possessing an illegal gun during a crime are two completely different charges, no? Sentence should fit the offense, but in general I agree that book should be thrown at anyone who had an illegal firearm on them. Countries like Sweden and Japan don't fuck around with that (or drugs) whatsoever, but it's not the first world country we are talking about here.

The article said he's got top of the line lawyers, and with no priors he'll likely get off (IANAL, though), the case will be buried, and there will be no example made (I mean - smaller fish beats those charges on the daily, you really expect DA to stick it to a high profile police official's family?)

Additionally, I'll be predicting Powerball numbers at 11, stay tuned.

About 1500 square feet two bedroom apartment (EDIT: now that I think about it, it was smaller, probably 1100-1200 range, actually), electric heat with poorly insulated windows, the place on 70F for a month and ran about $700-800.

And that was over a decade ago, now could be even more.

Every next place I looked for had to have any other kind of heat but electric (don't care for AC - how we say in the old country: "it's better to sweat seven times than to freeze once").

Yeah, you completely lost me. Don't lay out "facts" like this, when your main source of propaganda is US mainstream media, and you seemingly have little to no understanding of what's been going on in that particular region in the best part of last 100 years.

I am embarrassed to have been a part of this conversation.

Tell me you read only mainstream media without telling me you read only mainstream media. Please...

(This kind of take is my new favorite after reading armchair experts on Israel-Palestine conflict for some years).

By what I've heard it was way over $120B ($3B more was announced this week), and it hasn't been a full year yet (you can google it yourself, there are different numbers being floated around, but it's mos def over $100B by now).

(You are also comparing spending money on saving people's lives to spending money to have more people die).
