The judge referenced in this article is for one of the federal trials. He does have charges in Georgia that he wouldn’t be able to pardon, but who knows how that would go down… leading the nation from a Fulton country correctional facility doesn’t sound like fun.
Going to the beach is nicer in a swimsuit than a heavy coat and mittens.
I’d rather do pretty much anything in the heat of Summer than during any of the winter months.
Hardly the first time someone has smiled in a mugshot, guilty or innocent.
If found innocent then it takes on an ‘I told you so’ energy. If guilty it makes you look like an even bigger piece of shit.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the severity of their situation hasn’t fully set in yet. The realization will come crashing down if/when the first of them is found guilty.
Sounds great, but someone would sue again. A loan servicer if not a republican
In this case that’s fair, but in some cases, particularly attempted murders, EMS may have to wait for police to ensure the scene is safe for them to work in anyway. Not to mention most police have at least some first aid training. Police response times are also very important.
The suspect was also killed by police shortly after…
Can’t say I feel bad for him, but I’m guessing his death is cold comfort to the family & friends of the victim.
Bad move; the house is collateral. The bank can’t foreclose on an education, they definitely can take the house.
Can’t garnish imaginary wages [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]
Of course everyone involved knows they will face consequences, but they may feel those consequences are better than the payments. Courts can’t garnish paychecks that don’t exist and a ruined credit rating only matters if you were ever going to be able to afford to buy a house or car in the first place. Afaik actual jail time isn’t really a thing for defaulting on a loan. If the only leverage the government has to get people to pay the loan is to threaten their future financial security, then anyone who thinks the initial promises of security is bogus has nothing to lose.
There’s also some people who are willing to take the hit just to send a political message.
That said, I suspect nowhere near 62% of borrowers will actually meaningfully boycott in any way.
Only 92? I think we can break into triple digits by Thanksgiving
Sounds like the injured officers are suing. It’s a civil case not criminal, so I’m not sure how much the court would actually be asked to legislate. I’d be interested to hear their arguments, though I’m sure part of their reasoning for suing Tesla over the driver is they have more money.
If you’re swerving to avoid a sudden obstacle you reasonably may not have the foresight or reaction to flip on a signal. The car still needs to not force you back on collision course.
The headline doesn’t state that the warnings were consecutive.
Perhaps the driver was just aware enough to keep squelching warnings and prevent the car from stopping altogether?
I’ll grant you, though, 150 warnings is still a little tough tough to believe…
If we’re splitting hairs, bi should be a sunset of pan.
Also, there is some need for a fourth “none of the above” label…
Yeah lot of talking about using sync vs foss. I think that giving people more options is good for lemmy as a whole at the end of the day.
Maybe. Time will tell, but either way Lemmy won too. And me. Having a better time here; there’s at least the potential for meaningful discourse here unlike the firehouse of pointless pseudo-conversation on the larger subreddits.
I’m a simp for slick ux…
Serious question: why? It seems worse in every way.
His lawyers did… It is literally their job, unfortunately for them
