The accusations of murder have no substance to them. But drunken teenagers driving a boat to drunken party island where they left one of their friends behind without making sure he got his phone back were at the minimum being shitty friends with a willingness to violate minor laws(DUI, MIP, etc).

There were almost certainly actual crimes involved in the Nolan wells situation. Hes not an innocent victim, but transportation provided by an intoxicated teen is one of those things that isn’t an innocent explanation.

Christian societies had brothels. Thomas Aquinas even has a lengthy digression about why they shouldn’t be banned.

The archetypal thief is a burglar and not a shoplifter?

The most common ancient patriarchal law codes treat rape, seduction, and kidnapping as the same crime, and punish it with a fine and a requirement for the rapist to marry her. One must imagine that not infrequently the ‘rape’ was entirely consensual, not even dubiously so.

Perhaps in part because treatment of civilians by conquering armies was just generally extremely poor- the looting, massacres, enslavement, etc would also not be acceptable today.

Was consent explicit?
Like sûre, doing drugs with a guy and stumbling off to another room with him voluntarily is one thing, but it doesn’t imply consent to group sex.

It’s entirely possible these guys were dumbest crooks rather than terrorists.

IME most of these people vote Republican in other races.

Maybe in the New Jersey liberal bubble. But lots of people support trump in polite company.

My two cents remains that catching rape charges for participating in an impromptu gangbang sounds like (literally)fucking around and finding out, and that universities are not the people to handle this.
Viral story, sûre, but not actually much to see here.

Most Trump supporters disagree with him about the Iran war and about half of them do about AI.

'Pulling it out of your waistband' almost certainly is a technical violation of the law around presentation or brandishing.

"Not having rules because they shouldn't apply to respectable people" is like Anglicanism's raison detre. See also, their origin story.

While suppression of 'thug' culture is a good thing, it probably won't work(people will just get mad about it) and a lot of fairly justifiable criminal stereotypes are not something an individual can change- young black males getting hassled can't exactly michael jackson on short notice.

Ditching the gun was a serious crime. Carrying it may well not be.

The sine qua non of keeping the peace at protests is separating the two sides. The police following proper procedures around patriot front doesn’t require explanation; them not following proper procedures around other groups does.

In reality, the police will just say no, and only beat you if you resist arrest.

Gun rights orgs have been very successful at expanding concealed carry. They’ve made real progress on silencers. Losing in blue states is almost exactly the same thing as prolife- both have managed to defeat federal efforts.

In practice, that tends to turn into the Turkish arrangement….

Conservative Christian churches have behavior codes and statements of belief that get them like 80% of the way there. Lefty groups use self attestation, which is easier to get around up front.

Wouldn’t this be reasonable suspicion, as for a traffic stop, and discarding the gun is itself probable cause?
It seems like the median modern western woman is not so upset about being a whore and more upset about being a concubine.
For those in the back, a concubine is a woman who is sexually exclusive and usually dependent on a man without getting the social privileges of his wife, or a formal wedding... but has identical obligations. Remind you of anything in the modern west? You know, like a recent trend? One with a large happiness gap vs married couples driven largely by female satisfaction?
Most women aren't out there whoring, even if they dress like it. The average partner count is, like, three, and it seems like this is more driven up by a handful of very promiscuous women than it is down by female virgins? But most women in America do suffer from lack of ability to get married- it is the man's job to propose, after all.
Of course coupling is down as well- but part of that is simply that the apps have no economic incentive to actually produce stable long term relationships(an app which simply charges for matchmaking would be both very lindy and solve that problem, of course- but the gods of copybook heading haven't returned sufficiently to fund it). Dating apps which try to produce stable and happy couples go out of business.
What you can do? Well, try to set your single friends up, and that may include some amount of 'well, yeah, you ain't gettin' scarlett johansen who never disagrees with you/Pride and Prejudice is a work of fiction'- and you'd be surprised what people are willing to overlook when you can reassure them this person is not a serial killer. Pressure your cohabiting, or seriously dating, friends, to get married(and if you are a man doing this to male friends you do have a real role to play). If you're cohabiting with someone, change that- for the men, you can just buy a ring(most women would rather a smaller one than none), and for the women... uh, if he won't propose, what exactly are you getting out of it?
