The Titan Submersible Disaster Shocked the World. The Inside Story Is More Disturbing Than Anyone Imagined

In January 2018, Lochridge sent Rush a quality-control inspection report detailing 27 issues with the vehicle, from questionable O-ring seals on the domes and missing bolts to flammable materials and more concerns about its carbon-fiber hull. Rush fired him the next day. (Although Lochridge later made a whistleblower report to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration about Titan, Rush sued him for breach of contract. The settlement of that lawsuit resulted in Lochridge dropping his complaint, paying OceanGate nearly $10,000, and signing an NDA. Lochridge did not respond to WIRED.)

Ugh

‘Maybe I’ve Gotten Worse’: Trump Makes Clear That Unity Is Over

"We have a brand-new victim,” Mr. Trump told thousands of people inside the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn.

Trump its shit like that you say that gets you in hot water. Calling people victims and vermin is literally painting targets on their back

I know he knows this, it's just like hearing a person scream fire when there is none just to watch the chaos ensue

Man who attacked police at the US Capitol with poles gets 20 years, one of longest Jan. 6 sentences

The assault conviction stemmed from an October 2019, gathering near the Santa Monica Pier, where Dempsey attacked people peacefully demonstrating against then-President Trump, prosecutors said. “The peaceful protest turned violent as Dempsey took a canister of bear spray from his pants and dispersed it at close range against several protesters,” they wrote, noting that Dempsey was sentenced to 200 days of jail time. Dempsey engaged in at least three other acts of “vicious political violence” that didn’t lead to criminal charges “for various reasons,” according to prosecutors. They said Dempsey struck a counter-protester over the head with a skateboard at a June 2019 rally in Los Angeles, used the same skateboard to assault someone at an August 2020 protest in Tujunga, California, and attacked a protester with pepper spray and a metal bat during a August 2020 protest in Beverly Hills, California.

Guy is an absolute menace

Man who attacked police at the US Capitol with poles gets 20 years, one of longest Jan. 6 sentences

Defense attorney Amy Collins, who sought a sentence of 6 years and six months, described the government’s sentencing recommendation as “ridiculous.” “It makes him a statistic,” she said. “It doesn’t consider the person he is, how much he has grown.”

Dempsey has been jailed since his arrest in August 2021.

I get the feeling 3 years in jail had everything to do with that "growing"

Responsible protests don't hurt people's feelings

I'm sure all the equal rights protests MLK orchestrated were highly accepted by the moderates and racists across the country and didnt hurt their feelings at all

Oh wait, protest arent about your feelings but instead are about making critical changes in infrastructure and society

Hatred and violence are not things protests are meant to inspire. But changing how you feel about an issue is exactly what they are meant to do
