Oh great, this will lead to maga/qanon politicians claiming Biden is doing this to Republican neighbourhoods but with whatever chemical/poison they choose.

Seems to have allied himself with all the right wing chancers on the click bait gravy train. Bizarre how white supremacists suddenly have no issue teaming up with a black man when there are dollars to be had.

It was worse pre covid as they'd have a sermon every 2 hours on Sundays with up to 3,900 people at each one. Now they just have two with most people doing online worshiping (as long as they keep ****ing over $$$).

They're really horrible and tribal. Wouldn't surprise me if the church had a massive cache of weapons.
This is rather old, but maybe still relevant?

8 months suspended sentence. At least Harry Dunn's family got some sort of justice.

The US government acted despicably throughout (no real surprise) to protect her for shadowy reasons.

RIP Harry.

just read that Ted Cruz's kid was rushed to the hospital for self harm. Cutting herself, I think. Poor kid. Don't know how much more of a signal a father needs to maybe get off the insane train and get back to caring for his family. I hope his daughter gets the help and support she needs.

She could have dealt with this so much better and got the same sentence. Which I think was the right one by the way. If it was my child I may have been different but I don't think serving time would help anyone.

It's just I think it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that she couldn't face the music, both her and the USA have been shameful in this. Its a closure for the family I think but not the lady, she will have to think how she made things worse all the way to her grave.

Tremendous piece of negotiation by the Americans, in getting the big, gangly nobody released.

They only had to give up an international arms dealer half way through his sentence, seems fair. Putin must be pissing himself laughing at them.
