Look on the bright side. This shooting has stayed in the news for more than a week now. There are protests planned all over the next month. Something is different this time. Any other shooting and this would have been a two-day story.
Maybe, but I am not yet convinced. There are still so many politicians in the back pocket of the NRA. Time will tell.
Half of my posts? I didn’t realize it happened that often.
Who is warlbler?
I miss my old friend Frink. I wonder whatever happened to him.
Not sure why we’re celebrating such a morose statement.
If this is anyone but Steve Allen, you’re stealing Warbler’s bit.
huh?
Which I don’t think I have done in multiple months.
Yes!! They did it!
Ok, I think I got it now. Judge awarded $307,000 and $108,000 in attorney’s fee’s. A certain amount of the $108,000 is supposed to come out of the $307,000. One side(I assume the winner of the suit) says the amount taken from the $307,000 should only go up to 10% of the $307,000, which would be $30,700. $108,000 - $30,700 = $77,300. Therefore the loser in the suit would pay $307,000 + $77,300 which comes to a total of $384,300. But the other side(I assume the loser of the suit) says according to the law, the amount taken should go up to 25% of the $307,000. 25% of $307,000 is $76,750. $108,000 - $76,750 = $31,250. Therefore the loser in the suit would pay $307,000 + $31,250 which comes to a total of $338,250.
Is my understanding correct?
Frink deleted a post, it had nothing to do with you, mfm. (as far as I know anyway)
prisoner’s judgement?
I’m still confused.
It is being played right now.
Dear USA Women’s Ice Hockey Team,

The Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision today authored by Gorsuch, Sotomayor wrote dissent joined by the other liberal Justices. Reminds me of the truck driver case that caused so much consternation during Gorsuch’s confirmation hearings. Like that case: it was a matter of statutory interpretation and not a big controversial social issue; involved a sympathetic set of facts; and the law seems like it could almost be read either way.
The basic facts from the link:
The case concerned Charles Murphy, an Illinois inmate badly beaten by prison guards, who crushed his eye socket. Mr. Murphy sued the guards, winning about $307,000 and $108,000 in attorney’s fees.
The question in the case was how to interpret a federal law that says in such cases “a portion of the judgment (not to exceed 25 percent) shall be applied to satisfy the amount of attorney’s fees awarded against the defendant.”
A trial judge ordered Mr. Murphy to pay 10 percent of his award to his lawyers, but an appeals court ruled that the law required the full 25 percent.
I don’t understand, wouldn’t what the attorneys get depend on the agreement made between them and Charles Murphy?
You sunk my battleship!
Silence!
Please continue the game.
I’m not sure if you’re serious.
Well, my apologies, almight OP! I am a distracted man these days 😉
Well, just try harder. I want quality championship matches. And I prefer Commissioner rather than “almight OP!”, as I am the OTCF©®™ Commissioner.
Even if he had, he wasn’t a foaming-at-the-mouth neo-Nazi preaching intolerance and hatred.
That’s not an excuse.
Was he trying to excuse it though?
I hate to say it, but I jacked up this game pretty early on.
I expect better from the OTCF©®™ OT.Com Chess Champion. Please give your maximum effort for rest of the game.

We have some slight flooding in our basement and wanted to get it fixed. The person we called was a piece of work. First when my mother called the company the guy on the phone tried ask if he should be speaking someone else about this, like a husband or an adult son. As if only a man should be handling this. My mom is just fine at handling these things herself. Does this guy think it is still the 1950’s? Despite that, mom left the company send someone out to take a look at the basement because supposedly the company did some work for my brother and his wife and they were happy with it. He got here and looked around the basement for bit and then tried to use scare tactics on my Mom. He talked like there could be dangerous mold and like the damage could be worse than we thought and stuff. He then said he could get guys out tomorrow and whatnot, but wanted to know if we had the money up front. My Mom repeated asked him to tell exactly what he wanted to do to solve the problem and how much it would cost. He kept giving her double talk. Something about his company being sued in the past so the lawyers for the company required that they give all this info to customer before giving an estimate and saying exactly what they would do to solve the problem. He also talked about how the company appeared on “This Old House” (I doubt it). Then he talked about how the company had earlier partnered up with some sort of holding company and things when didn’t so well because that holding company only cared about the bottom line. But now the holding company had gone bankrupt and things were better. More and more, the guy was not passing the smell test. After about the 10th time of refusing to give a straight answer on what he intended to do to solve the problem and how much it would cost and after he continued trying to give double talk, Mom threw him out. After talking with my Sister in law, we think the original company that did their work had gone out of business and now some less legit place was using the name. Also my Sister in law said she looked on the web and it turns out the current company the proper credentials with the Better Business Bureau.
328 girls were named Abcde in the United States between 1990 and 2014. The name was given to 32 newly born girls in the year 2009 alone.
I don’t think these people should be voting, for one.
I wonder how their name is pronounced.
I would think it would be easy to research whether these are actual students or actors.
The people these things are aimed at do not do research. Nor do they care about facts.
That is most unfortunate.
It’s the child actor thing all over again.
You seem to be referring to a past incident of which I can’t seem to recall.
Sandy Hook.
They accused child actors of being somehow involved with Sandy Hook?
