Has a black police officer ever mistakenly killed a white teenager?
It's easy access to guns that causes this sort of thing and universal background checks would be a good first step toward ending all gun violence in the U.S.
And don't forget the many tons of C4 the U.S. left unguarded early in the war while they scampered about looking for WMD. Where did those insurgents get the raw materials for IEDs, anyway? It's a head-scratcher.
HRC, too.

there are tons of 20 year old kids who can do it! and don't we want the park used, if people want to swim at night that's great, let's enable it not stand by letting people die. more and more are swimming at night activating this space making it "vibrant." they are on floats. they are without floats. they are on SU boards. they are on kayaks. some are good swimmers. some are not. some are drunk, some are not. if they are doing it we should be providing a couple of lifeguards. heck if this draws out 100 nighttime swimmers at the legit swimming areas, I say good! pay for mor lifeguards. you can pay for it by selling the surplus land on ashworth they stupidly use for a freaking garage when little tiny 5000 SF lots would bring in $400K each easy. they could consolidate on half their lot sell the rest and pay for lifeguards then we get more swimming hours that are safe. win, win win, but oh wait, parks dept. is not accountable.
if you were one of them about to be sold into slavery you'd agree. western notions of human rights rock, and are customary international law now, and we have the right and ability to stave off the killing of thousands of yazidis too. I never even heard of them, but all people have rights, not just liberals in seattle. thank you for reading.
The [former] impoundment dam shows up in Google Maps topographic view at the center here. Zoom out and/or switch to satellite view to see the location relative to the rest of BC and what it looked like beforehand.
The spill went largely into the Quesnel River, a major tributary of the Fraser River, which of course empties into the Salish Sea at Vancouver, BC. The Fraser's enormous watershed is shown on this map. That map is from a site that extensively discusses existing and planned Kinder Morgan "tar sands" pipeline segments and tanker routes, well worth your time to consider on its own for Puget Sound relevance. (Lake Okanagan, where The Stranger's Katie Allison is currently vacationing near Kelowna, sits in a neighboring drainage, not the Fraser's.)
Imperial Metals' president says he'd drink from the tailings pond contentsâ"Pour him a tall one!" is the comment from the Indian Country news site, and I agree.
How will it affect the salmon? Hard to say at this point. More links:

Best thing to do in Iraq would be to immobilize ISIS in whatever means possible including using weapons of death. The problem is that the Iraq govt is incapable of effective action.
Rather than being an intellectual refuge, it is an ideal or goal. Is making peace in the world an intellectual refuge or is it only altruistic endeavors over racism that is an intellectual refuge. Is it also an intellectual refuge if you are yourself black and you talk about it or is it only an intellectual refuge if you are white and talk about it.
Whatever, with sanctimonious attitude's like Miss Henderson's its own racist elements we are assured that a post-racial America will never be a reality - and I suspect that is actually her preferred intellectual refuge.
It was regularly reported.
Then it wasn't regularly reported.
Now we are self reporting to each other the thing that didn't actually go away.
Newspapers and trains.
Smartphones and twitter.
The question always is, now that we know, what should we do about it?
Political weapons.
(Maybe you have never heard the term.)
My point is that from what I have read I do not think that there is a political solution for ISIS. No compromise possible. Its leadership must be destroyed. Killed.
I think your Just Kill Them (tm) solution, is, to put it charitably, flawed at the very least.
Which is not say I don't understand the frustration from which your "solution" springs. It's a crazy complicated fucked up situation, and it is very tempting to just throw up one's hands and say "Fuck it, just kill them".
Thankfully, at least for the most part, those to whom dealing with this mess are tasked are more measured and informed in their analysis than we here on Slog.
