The thug that shot and killed Philando Castile has been charged with manslaughter.

Anna Yocca has been in jail for almost a year under various charges because she tried to give herself an abortion.

One of the bad things about Clinton was her association with neocons that wanted to launch more wars. Trump didn't seem to support that, but he may be about to appoint a militaristic neocon as Secretary of State.

In order to turn the neocons into ex-cons, we first need to prosecute them. Perhaps for the crime of aggressive war.

There have been many close encounters between airplanes and drones.

The chances that one of these results in a collision are small but significant. (5 meters away from the plane includes an area several times the plane's own cross section.)

Many drones are small and lightweight. Does anyone know how likely it is that a collision with a plane travelling at (say) 200 miles an hour (since it's close to landing or taking off) is to damage the plane? I guess the chance of significant harm is small — this is not like colliding with another plane.

It would be good to find a solution for avoiding the danger, but we shouldn't panic about it.
