I thought someone running for political office can’t be arrested or tried for a crime in case they eventually win election (at which point all possible charges are automatically dropped)?

Under this plan, would the farms be nationalized, or would people be forced to work for the profit of private farm owners?

I’m curious if he would have felt the same way had he become aware of any Hispanic US citizen being detained by ICE, or if he only feels this way because it happened to him, specifically.

Sadly, this is consistent with my experience with hospitals. The schedules are constantly in flux and no one bothers to tell the patients/advocates. It really sucks and seems unnecessary. Sorry that happened to you.

While I agree with you in theory that protestors should either block the road entirely or stay out of the street, it appears to me that the driver veered hard to the left in order to strike the pedestrian. This incident should certainly be investigated and any crimes charged.

"We [the rich] are sick of financing you. You want health care? Befriend a doctor. You want entertainment? Go roll around the mud with your fellow pigs."

This is apparently not a real quote from Musk: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/musk-billionaires-tired/

Plenty to be concerned about, all the more reason it’s important to be factual.

Who will be ignored next?

I hate to say it, but there hasn’t been a time in modern history where there weren’t women and children starving while the rest of the world did nothing.

I had some awful fluffing opinions at that age too, even if I never would have committed an act like this.

I don’t think OP wants to put them in jail for their opinions, but because they committed this act…

“What is this, an arch for ants?”

I was under the impression that JD Vance enjoys the financial support of Peter Thiel et al.?

How Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley funded the sudden rise of JD Vance

I searched the link you posted and did not find a single mention of Kamala?

Just to understand your perspective: is there anything a politician, either sitting or running, can do that would cause you to support jailing or executing them, or is the complication of them being a politician such that, in your eye, no penalty can be met for any crime they commit?

I am curious about this as well. At least in some cases, it seems to be due to “alternate facts”, e.g., https://lemmy.ca/comment/13198294

Are you suggesting that every civil service position ought to be elected (or that there ought not be a civil service)?

Hate crimes are born from opinions. My point was that at that age a lot of people think some awful things.

That may be, but my point was that the call for jail was due to their “opinions” fueling an impactful crime. You said yourself, despite the awful beliefs you held at that age, you’d have never committed such an act. I think that’s an important distinction.

I don't think they should be jailed for life at the age of eight years old for it.

FWIW, I can appreciate the reasons that there is a juvenile court system in the US and agree that life without parole seems excessive based on my limited understanding of the crime and its context.

May I ask, if someone were to make a gesture indistinguishable from a Nazi salute, what would be necessary to convince you it was, in fact, a Nazi salute?

I’m arguing against Biden throwing Trump in jail

Presumably because Trump is a politician? Or is it that you believe he committed no crimes?

Do you believe Biden should be judge, jury, and executioner?

Absolutely not!

Maybe I understand your perspective better now? Is it that your opposition is to a president directly ordering someone be arrested/killed (vs directing the department of justice to administer a speedy and comprehensive trial in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice)?

Your vacuum has been upgraded to an “ultimate machine“!

So colonialism is good and just if accompanied by an improved quality of life?
