Maybe if we hadn't spent the last 20 years making junkies out of people who came back from the endless war with PTSD, this wouldn't be the case. But you're only concerned with the symptoms, not the cause. I'm not ashamed that Portland doesn't ship its homeless population elsewhere like so many other places do.

Oh man. Burnside and 205 is a rough spot. There's a bike path along 205 I often ride with visitors, and near there I always warn them that they will likely see people with a needle in their arm. You ride head down, not to avoid eye contact with the junkies, but to make sure discarded needles don't give you a flat tire.

A cop got put on leave for posting a video blaming Antifa for the wildfires. The union is working hard to defend his right to post that online!

People are often quick to stereotype in search of an easy conclusion. Not all Native Americans (actually, very very few) have huge sums of cash waiting for them when they turn 18, but if you live in certain parts of Minnesota, those are the only Native Americans you'll ever encounter, potentially leading to an incorrect perception and stereotype.

One of my biggest frustrations with liberals of late is the "microaggression" nonsense, and here's why: I've long held that focusing on racism overlooks a bigger problem: classism. In the same situation, if the black male is dressed in a suit and tie, and the white male appears to be homeless, you'll be more afraid of the white male. But saying this is a "microaggression" and will get you written up in your sociology/anthropology 101 course these days, even if you say trigger warning. Drives me nuts. EDIT: didn't really finish the thought. People aren't afraid of black people as much as they are afraid of poor black people. Addressing that as a society would be constructive.

The problem with the study you cited is the prevalence and ease of angelicizing one's name, as immigrants have done for generations, Jews did in early Hollywood, and Asians are now doing in droves to combat discrimination in college admissions. A better example would be the study of people's reactions to different races when crossing paths with them alone in the dark. Everyone was afraid of crossing a black male in that situation.

That ship sailed long ago. Between the comment sections on college hockey sites and Brad's blog, Goon somehow having a press pass, and behavior/appearance/demeanor at the Final Five, Hayduke being a fanatical liberal isn't tarnishing the good name of Sioux fans.

It's a stretch to believe that a man with a history of predatory accusations who was friends with the guy blackmailing them all is actually organizing to bring them all down.

Hmmm. I was under the impression they hadn't pursued cases previously for some reason. Why didn't they stick?

Can we do a siouxsports survey on this?

Manhattan, where most HQs are, has very little street crime.

Which I stated:

I'm saying they didn't go after him when he was a Democrat, and now that he's not, he's targeted. Suggests corruption in their office.

Well, given that he was a registered Democrat as a regular citizen of NY certainly supports your hypothesis. Both sides have plenty of corruption.

SDNY didn't have anything to do with the Russia investigation. They are going after him for stuff he did before the election. His desire to increase his profile brought scrutiny, hard to sympathize with him.

Sure enough, what happened? Only article I see is behind a paywall.

Sorry for defending the integrity of PriceWaterhouseCoopers...

Because he can't pardon their charges.

And seeing that happen scared them to make sure it never happens to them.

Anyone with Big 4 accounting firms doing their books does.

I agree, but if you think I'm far left, you're sorely mistaken.

So you think his books are clean? Then why is his accountant saving his own tail?

No, I think he'll leave the country and let his sons fend for themselves.

It's never happened before, therefore it will never happen. Brilliant.

Man are you Trump Trash legally illiterate. I don't think Biden will win, but Trump will not be able to dodge SDNY when he's out of office.
