The 'Gay Panic Defense' for violent crime has been banned in Illinois. I mean, that's great and all, but holy shit, this is a thing?

They were lucky that one wasn't carrying an active warhead...And I wonder if Trump is going to have the bad judgment of poking fun at Kim Jong-un over it with a chain of tweets?

Trump is trying to quietly dissolve the "Election Integrity" commission without anyone noticing.

The short version as to why is because he's been insisting over and over again that Hillary got millions and millions of fake votes, but the actual facts show that she got maybe 30 while Trump himself actually got hundreds if not thousands of fake votes in his favor.

Yes. As I recall Matthew Shepard's killers tried it. Basically it's the idea that the victim came onto the accused and the accused was so enraged that they were put in some sort of violent fugue state where they could not control their actions. A similar thing is alleged with transpanic.

Man wrongly accused of rape is freed form prison after two years due to his accuser making a false rape claim. She edited messages to make it look worse for the man after they broke up.

This is just...I don't have words. This is what makes it so hard for other women to come forward when actual rapes happen. this stupid act this girl pulled hurts so many others, I hope they throw the book at her.

I wonder whether there are any comments in the US regarding the Fire and Fury book (the book about what was going on behind the scenes when Trump won the elections)? According to news I read over here, the book makes some... interesting claims, including the fact that Trump did not actually want to win the presidency and it was all a publicity stunt for him...

Might want to peek in on the Trump thread for that - discussion just started a little while ago, so you shouldn't have to go more than a couple pages back.  Although getting a copy is apparently difficult due to the demand.

Electrical fire at Trump Tower has been put out by the FDNY.

Thank god. Even if we disagree with the person and their politics, no one deserves to die in such a horrible fashion.

I wonder if it was deliberate. I got goose bumps. There are crazy people on both sides... :(

Maybe he'll reconsider cutting funds to NYC after they saved him property damage.  ::)

Five bucks says he was trying to destroy evidence and it got out of hand.

What? He's done it before.

Could you summarize for those who can't sit through a twelve minute video?

Basically, she questioned how the superintendent could give himself a raise when the school employees (teachers included) hadn't had a pay increase.  The questions were ruled 'out of order', and the marshal stepped in.

I skipped to minute 6 or so... Looks like a school council meeting, a teacher asks the Commissioner why he is getting a raise for himself when teachers classes are increased fron 20 to 29 kids, and they don't get a raise.
Commissioner says she is not some list of attendees he has, although all other teachers in the room say she is. Eventually, officer steps in and asks her to step out, she gets aggravated but leaves. Shouts are heard from outside a few moments later, and when the guy filming gets there, she is on the ground, telling him she is not resisting arrest, and that he pushed her. I stopped after they went outside.

Just as a general request - posting a brief summary of videos really helps those of us who might not have our sound on for various reasons.  Links to news articles are premium, of course, but a sentence or two can spark the conversation regardless.

In reaction to #metoo and politically correct, this happened in France. I wasn't expecting someone to do it so openly, though I've heard this opinion again and again. https://www.thelocal.fr/20180109/catherine-deneuve-denounces-puritanism-following-weinstein-allegations
