What would be the reaction if all the people in the video had been a little less white?

What about other things, such as support of the death penalty? They are basically condemning for the mere thinking about a "sin" rather than the committing of the sin. How messed up is that?

Right out of central casting for white, male, dumb ass conspiracy theorist. Press credentials no less... with his cheap video camera.
You're right, it really doesn't solve anything but it was fun watching him squirm.

I've been watching this one and even though the guy has some obvious issues the probable cause documents were pretty shallow. Because of the toxicity of ricin, testing can zero down to a very few parts per million. If he produced it in a home lab somewhere there would be traces, on his clothes, shoes, etc...So they are back to square one in the investigation.

This is the loophole that the NRA is fighting to protect. Very insane indeed!

The guy across from you at the gun show to whom you are selling your firearm is not a convicted felon because he told you so! Just to be sure maybe you should run a background check. Oh wait, you don't have to because the NRA fought any type of background check. Hurray NRA!
Yes, the NRA doesn't support arming felons.

@ 2 Yep! I could understand being upset with Haugen over transportation, but replacing her with someone as vacuous as Bailey was just plain stupid.

kmq1 commented on Columbia City Residents Dispute Official Account of Friday's Police Shooting.
The power of a picture. I would very much like to see how the forensic analysis matches with the final position of the car. It allegedly was moving forward with enough force to hit another car, threaten officers, yet it still managed to roll backward and align itself with the truck it had pushed out into the street. I remember the initial news reports and didn't even think to question the account. Why didn't the police bring up a car to block the dead end?

kmq1 commented on What Happens If the United States Postal Service Express Mails a Very Important Package to the Wrong Country?.
A US Postal Service product becomes that country's postal product at the border. What appears to have happened is it mistakenly entered the Kazakhstan Postal system and thus they are the ones who need to return it. International mail treaties dictate how quickly they must respond, but since they get no money to handle a misrouted letter there is not much incentive for them to respond very quickly. They may not even return the documents without payment for the return postage.
Private carriers don't hand off the package at the border and thus have more flexibility in which to correct problems in route. They are often faster to deliver, getting documents to most locations within 2-3 business days. The price, of course, reflects that level of service.

The event has been reclassified as an EF5. The EF scale uses multiple indicators, clocked wind speed only being one variable, to determine the strength of the storm . Once wind speed goes over 200 MPH the damage can be at the same as if the speed was 250MPH.
The low pressure engine that drives tornadoes is only about 100 mb from the outside pressure. The lowest pressures recorded during tornado events were around 850 mb. For comparison Denver averages around 835 mb. I think it's safe to say the pressure is not low enough to suffocate, let alone have your blood boil or a bunch of people in Colorado are in danger of exploding.
Death and injury from tornadoes come from the kinetic energy. Protection from that kinetic energy, i.e. in an underground structure would make it survivable.
