There are 2 police forces involved here if I’m reading this right. State police were behind him when he crashed. The article states they were following but not in a chase with him because his wife said something concerning. Was he going to commit suicide? Or was he going to face the cops who quit?
It’s totally bonkers and I don’t want to sound like I’m trying to defend the cops, but we need more info.
Man something really bonkers happened here but I’m not sure it’s that…
If you continue reading (garbage website after ads/maybe a different article?) they mention the wife of the mayor telling the state police something that made them concerned. Was he planning on committing suicide?
Whole thing is gonna need a podcast in about 8 years.
That’s doubley sad. First let’s harrass and victimize a trans person for existing! Bonus points: don’t even worry too much if they are actually trans or not and you can get in some old fashion witch trial level shit on any woman you hate, regardless if she was born that way or had to work for it.
Why is ‘trans’ in ’ ’ ? Is the player transgender or no?
" Some of this piracy (and make no mistake, that’s what it is) "
Says who? What authority does this writer have to declare blurry, poor audio quality shakey cam video of a movie theatre screen with dozens of people singing in the foreground “piracy”?
From my perspective, piracy would be taking and selling (or personally viewing in place of paying and viewing) something someone else made. None of these videos are meant to replace seeing the movie, nor will they.
I cannot wait to see Wicked, I’ve seen the musical 4 times in my life. Except there is no way I’m going to watch a movie in a theatre setting with other randos singing or generally being shitty people.
Am I cobbling together all the tictoc clips and watching that? No. Because that’s not the product they are selling. I’ll wait for it to come out on streaming.
These videos are not piracy.
Fellow below got down votes for saying it, but it’s because they called themselves that.
Just like how Trump currently accuses mainstream media of lying non-stop. Like he accused the Democrats of trying to steal the election. Both things that he does/did, and that the people who he accused of doing it did not do. See how easy it is to muddy the water?
It’s the same reason every draconian handmaid’s tale esque bill is called “the helping mothers” bill or every anti-workers bill “the great perfect bill to help workers” bill. (Right to work!)
It’s a load of crap. Listen to what people tell you. Then compare it to what they actually do. Or if you are too lazy even to do that, just ignore what anyone says and only look at what they do. That’s who they are.
Watch what Pollieve does. Look at what he has already done. That’s it. That’s who he is. It’s a little cheat code you can use.
My leige. I had no idea such royalty would be scrolling the hellish depths of lmy of all places.
Why do you think it won’t happen?
Well here is your soapbox to educate us on how a person exists day to day where they make 150k but $250 more is “needed”.
Until your neighbour does it. Houses are for living in. Having a little Christmas display is great. Having an automated light show that last 17 minutes a cycle and took 500 hours to set up is something that should be done at a venue with the proper infrastructure.
What about that comic implies any of that you nut job?
Me? A human? Yeah. I have. Do you not think a horse feels more love from another horse than it does its human owner?
Clueless…
Humans are not special or unique, except in their ability to ruin everything around them. Though I suppose wild hogs do that pretty good, and if we want to get technical cancers might compete with us in our ability to fuck up our own host…
Haven’t told anyone this and it’s peanuts compared to other stories, but I was driving home the other night and had to stop quickly at a red light. I didn’t “have” to but it was that perfect timing of “do I squeeze through and the guy turning left shakes his fist, or do I stop (noone behind or in front of me) and just chill.”
So I stopped, and holy shit an 8’ square tube of steel I’d had strapped to the rack of my truck launched itself into the intersection, clattering to the ground 30’ away.
Nobody noticed. Not the lady in the lane to my right, not anyone driving cross traffic (they all started driving by it like it wasn’t there) and not even the guys coming towards me turning left, who did drive over it.
I could have killed someone. If there had been a car in front of me I could have been the villian in a real life horror movie… Like that video of the guy who’s mother gets killed in the passenger seat beside him when a brick comes through the windshield.
I don’t believe in God. But fuck me, if I never win a lottery ticket or raffle or even a coin toss again I’ll still consider myself damn fucking lucky.
Stupid. And there wasn’t a reason for it… I checked those straps before I left that day. Something about the rain and I don’t know what caused it to come loose. But I didn’t have to be carrying that thing around. I was just lazy and storing it there until I could use it.
I’m sorry to everyone. And I’m so lucky noone was hurt.
Lol you had so many truely excellent arguments to make about our technological prowess or our society building abilities and you chose love? Dude my cat loved me more this afternoon snoozing on the couch with me than I’ve felt from all of humanity minus my own partner, mother father sister and brother. Ever.

My dad used to use this technique to settle disputes: “if you are gonna fight over it, neither of you can have it!”
Though I don’t recall him ever shooting a baby in the face so maybe these cops need more training.
Or some fucking lead to their own foreheads.
Is that too far? No. No I don’t think it is.
It’s so common we have a word for it. At a table of 6 over lunch at work only one needed to ask what it was… And then when we explained they were like “oh that yeah… Didn’t know it had a name.”
What percentage of Canadians have to walk to a box down the street right now?
I’m curious, because during these discussions there is all this talk about how having to do that will bring down the whole system, will unfairly affect the elderly or disabled. Yet as someone who grew up in a semi-rural setting, 80% of the people I went to school with had to walk (or stop on the drive home) at a green box for their mail. It’s a very city centric idea that mail has to come right to your door. And in cities, your communal boxes could be fairly close to your house anyways…
I am not and don’t usually propose cutting services.
I am not suggesting this as a good option now.
But it confuses the hell out of me that people think this would be the end of civilized society.
And I would like to fantasize on a future where Canada Post took over all Amazon deliveries. Forcing Amazon (and the consumer) to pay fair wages to unionized post officers and not abuse temporary “independent contractors”. Huge increase in unionized secure jobs…
I like that.
Can I get an A MEN!!!
Now now! What would Capitalism say if it heard you?!
Please help. I have nightmares of being in a room where everyone else is just waiting patiently for me to remember the thing I forgot/figure out what is happening.
