This link has video of the woman standing in a stupor as her body burns. It's graphic. I don't know why she isn't running and screaming. Maybe she was high or too in shock to do anything.

I'd actually like to see that encoded into law - you get executed for murder in the worst way you killed any of your victims. Why? Well, you can't argue it isn't just and fair, but it also gives a strong incentive to would be murders to limit the amount of pain and horror they will inflict.

Ace, she can’t scream because the flames have engulfed her head. As she tries to breath or scream the flames and heat are dragged into her lungs and airway. This leaves a person unable to communicate and in many cases is the cause of death. It’s a horrible way to die, and unfortunately I’ve seen it before.

I've been amused how many horror movies have some urban kids go out to the sticks and then have to deal with a pyscho murder. The only real danger you face in the sticks it getting lost (and exposure if you get really lost) because almost all the psychos are in the cities.

NYC has a considerably lower crime rate than most large American cities. It's also a city of 8+ million where lots of crazy shit happens on a daily basis.

Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at December 23, 2024 01:34 PM (hovnC) ++++ There is a nugget of truth in this, which is the old (and correct) adage that context matters.

Any is too many, because every is perpetrated by someone who should never have been here to offend.

To Silver's point, it's also why crime stats alone are not a great indicator of whether an area is safe.
Go look at a place you know, if you have one. Look at the crime stats for bad neighborhoods and compare them to nice suburbs. You will probably find that the suburbs have higher property crime rates, and possibly sex crime rates. So why is that? Is your perception wrong, or are the stats telling a different story than it appears? It could be either. But the most likely answer is the latter - the stats aren't telling the story it looks like they're telling, because context *does* in fact matter. How many people getting robbed in the 'hood are going to bother reporting it? When you know the cops won't (or can't) find the person or your property, and if you don't have insurance, why bother? In the 'burbs, though, there's an expectation (usually a bad one) that the cops will do something but even absent that, the insurance company is going to demand a police report. So the suburbanite is going to file one. The rates as reported are higher. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at December 23, 2024 01:46 PM (HnUIn) 110

Instead, their readership and viewership is collapsing, and they are cutting salaries and laying people off.

Yep - people are more likely to file reports with the police in areas where police will respond.

My brother Jonathan has worked as a manager for restaurants for decades, and he tells me what food inspections are like. Now, its possible that Oregon and Washington have better inspectors but watching Kitchen Nightmares is shocking to me. There's no chance almost any of those places would survive even the most casual inspection. Either they are getting away with no inspections, or are paying off the inspectors because... holy crap.

While not nearly as serious, this story also shows the insanity of some government and law enforcement when dealing with criminals:
A Georgia homeowner was arrested and charged with criminal trespass after attempting to move back into her home, which was being occupied by an alleged squatter. 'I spent the night on a mat on a concrete floor in deplorable conditions. While this woman, this squatter slept in my home,' Loletha Hale told WSB-TV Atlanta. A deputy, captured on body camera footage, advised Hale to consider the alleged squatter's perspective. How does this make any sense? "Johnson ruled that “Sakemeyia Johnson is not a squatter” because she is related to a previously evicted tenant’s partner" It's BS to say the Democratic Party has "gone away from common sense". The Reich-wing and the media over-sensationalize a problem and you end up with Americans that have NEVER been a landlord, believing that they are one break-in during their Christmas vacation from some malcontent stealing their home by moving into it. Everybody want convictions and evictions to be "easy", up until it is themselves that is facing conviction or eviction.

NYC has a considerably lower crime rate than most large American cities.
When DAs drop charges for illegals and "others", does the crime rate drop? Is it based off of crimes reported, or crimes prosecuted/convicted? When 80 youths break into a store and steal everything, does that get reported as "one" incident of shoplifting? How about the videos we see of people walking into a store, grabbing random shit off the shelves, and just walking out with staff and other shoppers just standing by and not calling police because it's normal business?

Posted by: The ARC of History! at December 23, 2024 01:47 PM (uxCna) It occurs to me that the executive producers and those that exercise editorial control over the content are much more to blame than the on air "talent" or the writers. You produce what the people who pay you tell you to produce or you're out of a job. So while it would be nice to greet every media person with "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

NY needs to reinstate the death penalty, as do all other pussified states who don't have it at present.
You can't have justice without the death penalty, IMO. And I say we should adopt the Brit perspective of yore, when the condemned received ONE appeal - ONE - and if that failed, he was hanged within a couple weeks. That would put a stop to this crap in a big hurry. I don't want to hear liberals bleating about how it isn't a deterrent. We fight ineffectually against drugs, but Singapore - right on the periphery of the Golden Triangle - has no problem. Why? Because they have the death penalty, and use it freely. They don't care how many Presidents, Prime Ministers, Popes, Buddhas, whatever ask for clemency for the perp. If he was caught with weight, he hangs. Period.

We had a friend who purchased a property to build on and was prevented for awhile because there was a squatter living in a condemned structure on the property. The squatter had never been a tenant but had been living with the prior tenant, whose lease expired long ago and that tenant was long gone. The courts explained that the owner couldn't tear down the shack to build his own house because then the squatter would be homeless.

"176 @NateSilver538 3h
NYC has a considerably lower crime rate than most large American cities." Because (a) a huge portion of the most vicitimized do not report crimes as not to "snitch," and (b) they and everyone else know the police will do diddly squat to investigate any crime not still in progress, and (c) what would get reported elsewhere (e.g. assaults) get routinely downgraded into "public nuisance" and various other bullshit non-crime offenses.

Why is anybody agonizing about the method of deportation about the illegals. It's quite simple, dump them on the Mexican side of the border since that how they arrived. If Mexico didn't have a problem with them on the way in they shouldn't on the way out. After all, they opened their southern border, the US didn't.

The reason we need a death penalty is what we are seeing now--courts letting convicted criminals go free. And 10-20 years of appeals does not constitute justice.

Cops are agents of the state, sent forth to enforce the laws of the state, there is nothing in their charter demanding they put themselves in harms way.
Posted by: Thomas Bender at December 23, 2024 02:23 PM (XV/Pl) They have NO legal duty to protect you, your home, your property, your health, your safety. None. And act accordingly. One thing that does concern me about PDT is his promises about expanding police immunity. I think this is a terrible idea. We already see routine violations of people's 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights on a near-daily basis on matters that are already well-established. Law enforcement does not give a fuck. I don't think they should be encouraged in any way to give less of a fuck about people's rights. Posted by: No hero worship at December 23, 2024 02:33 PM (UKe2c) 336

Posted by: Decaf at December 23, 2024 02:32 PM (unUNN) I don't know that. Our state department uses US dollars as incentives for all sorts of shit that is unofficial. Then there are the NGO's using government money as inducements. In theory, you're right. But we are the marks at the table and so the last to figure out the game.

Actually, referencing the commutation of all of the death sentences, this is actually a genius move by Biden, His Infernal Majesty.
Now, right around Christmas, it gets all of his critics talking about the brutality of the cases, which will be seen as a real "downer" to the public who want to hear about Rudolph sightings. Biden can go out to his liberal Catholic, Unitarian, and etc constituencies spouting bullshit about forgiveness and redemption. Posted by: Big Fat Meanie at December 23, 2024 02:36 PM (73voq) 341
I just received notice that they are having to cancel orders, or indefinitely postpone because their key staff are quitting to return to Mexico. The workers cite hostile interactions with locals, and rising rents making it unaffordable for them to stay.
My local school district, where I work as a sub, may also be losing students of local immigrant workers. Job listings and sub assignments are way down. The impacts of immigrant worker persecution will be deeper and more pervasive than many realize." --- Bespoke butcher is a rich man's luxury. But, they wouldn't know that. Oh pity the poor rich liberal, who can't get their custom meats because their butcher won't pay a--what's that phrase the left so loves?--"living wage." Taking a job from an American citizen. Who is also the only one paying taxes for the free schooling the illegal children are getting. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at December 23, 2024 02:36 PM (PixdE) 342
It's possible to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine and as part of the agreement have the US supply some arms to western Ukraine. Or perhaps a new geographical boundary delineating Ukraine from Russia.

131 Pardon the insensitivity, but why on earth was this woman so flammable?
Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at December 23, 2024 01:50 PM (2+SeL) Classifying Flammability in Fabrics In accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), a simple “Class 1 to 3” flammability grade is given to all textile fabrics: Class 1 (Normal Flammability): A (5 inch specimen) burn time of 3.5 seconds or more for plain surface fabrics and 7 seconds or more for raised surface fabrics. Class 2 (Intermediate Flammability): A burn time of 4 to 7 seconds. This classification only applies to raised surface fabrics. Class 3 (Rapid Flammability): A burn time of less than 3.5 seconds for plain surface fabrics and less than 4 seconds for raised surface fabrics. Neither plain nor raised surface fabrics with a Class 3 rating can be sold in the U.S. If this woman was asleep, she'd have needed to wake up within 15 or 20 seconds and realized what was happening.

@132 "All these violent illegals look exactly the same, don't they? I don't mean that they're all hispanic. I mean they all look hispanic in exactly the same way: ugly, simian-looking degenerates that could be Hollywood extras in a gangland drama in the barrio."
I've had this exact thought many times. Can't wait for the workplace raids to start. One town in my midwestern state is known for employing illegals at their plant. Yesterday I visited my liberal sister-in-law for the holiday, and they were talking about how the entire construction industry in TX (where they used to live) would be in serious trouble if everyone gets deported. Well, somehow I think things will work out. I honestly don't care at this point. Posted by: Adlib at December 23, 2024 02:40 PM (kBmW+) 350

This is quite the body count that the Biden cabal has managed to rack up in four years and we still have 28 days to go. There are all of the children that have not been accounted for and may not be to add. If you start with the premise that this is all intentional, that they are grossly incompetent, and that they just don't care, then it all makes sense.
