Two thugs have been fired after their accusations against a Seattle bus driver were proved false. The driver had made a recording.

The article shows several acts that were wrong. First of all, the thugs' false accusations were wrong. Mere firing is not enough punishment for thugs that make false accusations. They deserve prison for that.

It is also wrong, and cruel, to try to kick sleeping homeless people off a bus onto the street. The company is wrong to have that policy and the driver was personally wrong for trying to implement it. I have to salute those thugs for refusing to help. (Not that this excuses making false accusations.)

Meanwhile, the article makes a perverse fuss about using the word "fucking". What difference does it make if the driver said "fucking"? Are bus drivers in Seattle punished for saying that? Next they will be punished for saying, "artichoke", "sidewalk" or "disappointed". If the thugs got the driver in some sort of trouble based on this chickenshit "accusation", the thugs are to blame, but especially whoever listened to the accusation and tried to hurt the driver is also to blame.

Denver thugs defied a court order by arresting activists of the Fully Informed Jury Association and seizing their pamphlets as well as their table and other property.

Some movie theaters in the US will present security theater as well as movies.

The security theater may occasionally keep out a few killers, those who don't have specific plans — but they'd be just as happy to shoot people waiting on line to be searched.

North Dakota has permitted thugs to fire not-usually-lethal weapons from drones, due to the efforts of a drone manufacturer's lobby.

This increases militarization of thugs, which we rather need to decrease.

The Satanic Temple staged a counterprotest to denounce the lies of Christian extremists that protested against Planned Parenthood.

I am not merely "pro-choice", I am pro-abortion. For many women who get pregnant, abortion is a lifesaver, literally or figuratively. In addition, it avoids exacerbating human overpopulation.
