re: The GTA 6 graphics look insane

I don’t disbelieve you.

I’m not posting my location though.

Nope.

Maybe Scruffy is in LA, or maybe in Kansas like his bio says. Maybe he doesn’t even live in a parish.

God. I'll just use good Ol' Lafayette for you. Good?

I'm in Gilmer, TX. Upshur County if you're wondering.

They should block them in, arrest them, and impound their vehicles. Losing their rides and having to pay a hefty fine to get them back would put a stop to a lot of this.

Have they tried outlawing Hemp products? That’s our solution to civilization collapsing.

OK. But don't blame me for the ridiculousness. And to be fair, I ask this same question here to all of my Presidential election year newbs around me who didn't give a shite prior to November 2007. Local vs National is a joke. But you know that. I'll post Lafayette in a bit.

Stout, do you want to see Lake Charles? I have that as well.

The only redeeming factor of videos like that is they’re why Trump will win

Insane that a city can turn into that. Absolutely insane

It's both.

As a general rule, liberal leaders are soft on crime. They eschew the Broken Window theory (going so far as to claim it as a fallacy), thus small crimes are allowed to go unhindered as they seek to explain those low-level crimes as part of some greater social need being unmet (ie: "it's not their fault").

Part of human behavior, especially that of the young (which makes up the majority of these events) is to constantly test boundaries. If they aren't encountering boundaries adequate enough to dissuade them from a behavior, they're going to keep doing it with some escalating the behavior.

To the liberal, this expands what crimes are considered "low-level" enough to be excused (see: California allowing thefts up to $950 being considered misdemeanors, for example).

On the other side of the aisle, conservatives have indeed just given up. You can only tell people what they are doing isn't going to work for so long. This compounds when those others determine that the "real problem" is that they just aren't doing enough so they double-down then are flummoxed when things get worse instead of better.

Eventually, the problems will get so bad that the only way to change things is for harsh punitive measures to take place. At that point, the liberals will bemoan those measures as being "draconian" and cry for leniency. Conservatives have already given up, so guess what happens. Rinse and repeat until whenever.

Agreed but its not so clear cut. Remember the soldier in Austin who killed someone while protecting himself in his car? He was charged and convicted with murder and it took Greg Abbott stepping in to pardon him. This is in PA so you would be screwed without someone like Abbott

Every instance is not clearcut, per se.

But in this specific one, it is clear as day. That cop could have hit the gas and ran over 30 people and it would be completely justifiable.

There's no logical argument to say he shouldn't have feared for his life in that moment. Not a single rational or logical argument can be made to that.
