No. Cheap, known to be flawed materials that were ignored and not replaced or properly researched once understood to be problematic killed hundreds in Grenfell tower.

To this day people don't realize that the straw thing was the biggest fucking distraction grift, all based on one turtle video and a literal 8th grader doing bad research with no understanding of statistics and science.

Anything said in the open press has a chance to undermine what is said and done in a court of law. Particularly any claim that is sensationalized or exaggerated by a complainant in the press can be dragged out in court by the defending party to call their credibility into question. Among other issues.

He his most likely "worth" many times that in non-liquid assets that can't be traced back to him with publicly available information.

No Guarantees, no way to prove short of some forensic accounting that would never happen unless he was investigated for a financial crime, but it would not be abnormal for someone in his position at all.

They definitely give negative fucks about it.

There's a remote chance he's too radioactive after this to become CEO at another corp but he likely still would and even if he doesn't he's still filthy rich and got rich by doing all the shit that people are rightfully mad at him for.

I agree that it does good which is why I said exactly that in my post.

I was replying to someone who said it was positive change and I'm saying I don't think it's an indicator of change.

There's no reason to indicate this is any kind of change. They already made these, already spent the money, and already used them for their intended purpose. It's good that they're being sent to go to use but it's literally just a free PR move for them.

You do know just about every private security company in the country offers "armed and armored sentries" as a service, right? They're just security guards. You can ring up Securitas and hire someone like that for an event in like 48 hours. Or you can actually ring up your local police union or station and hire an off duty cop on even shorter notice.

Most businesses just don't use openly armed or "armored" guards because they don't want customers to be alarmed by seeing it.

In the amount of time you've spent justifying your ignorance you could have actually become a literate human being.

Having a party is not illegal. And even having an illegally loud party is not a crime unless you refuse to comply when the police come tell you to knock it off.

They wouldn't even have probable cause to search anyone for drugs unless they saw evidence of someone using.

The one person who was arrested only got arrested because they tried to flee and assaulted an officer in the process.

That said, for normal, non-rich people parties, it's common practice for cops to make everybody leave and then wait just outside the neighborhood to bang everyone who drives away on a DUI charge.

Sprinklers are expensive as fuck, require maintenance, and are a nightmare to work with unless you have drop ceilings (even then kind of a PITA).

Virtually no place is going to put them in if someone isn't forcing them to with a law or building code.

Overhead is a real thing but it should be reasonable. I think the exact line of acceptable costs is easily debatable but his charities are reportedly spending over 50% of their income on overhead and I'd like to think any rational person would say that's too much to justify the existence of the entity if true.

I'm glad you all approve.

The first part of the URL, literally visible at the top of this thread, is walesonline with a uk web address.

If someone hasn't figured out that this is british news they deserve to be damned to an eternity of geography based confusion

Yep. It's also kind of a known thing that kids especially just kind of drown quietly and suddenly.

I think any noise making is not instinct and a purely learned behavior. Making noise when drowning only makes sense if there's someone like literally right there to help.

All of their defense responses are geared towards something coming at them from above. The surface they're on moving doesn't tend to trigger their flight response because if it did any time there was the tinniest breeze or movement they'd get off whatever plant they just landed on.

It's also faster than you think it is. This might be slowed down a little bit

They probably drown before any meaningful dissolving/burning happens, and most animals drown quietly to my non-biologist understanding. There's not a lot of evolutionary benefit to alerting other mice since they can't/wouldn't help and it's not like an active predator that could chase them down. As far as I know it's mostly limited to humans and domesticated animals that are accustomed to someone coming to their aid and being able to physically pull them out of situations of distress. when an animal thinks it's drowning and it can't expect that help it's not energy efficient to tire itself out quicker by wasting extra breath screaming.

I haven't even been to the sub but probably.

Also let's be real this sub isn't a great representation of the state either. Probably closer than r/boston but not ideal.

I would argue that this sub is probably both more liberal and more cynical than the state populace as a whole (which oddly enough probably makes me more comfortable here lol) IT's also very anti-NIMBY which obviously the state itself isn't because NIMBY's wouldn't be as successful if they were.

Getting caught out there working at night is profoundly dangerous for both the rescue crew and the whale.

Even when a human being is in danger most search and rescue is called off at night because the danger to the rescuers is exponentially higher and the chances of accomplishing anything also drop to near nothing.

I for one am completely surprised by this turn of events /s

In all seriousness this is awful, yet on brand for a guy who tried and failed to do a shitty art scam and I feel bad for the kids. Hopefully they get to stay together but this is going to be a nightmare they'll be stuck with no matter what.

Same name as in-staters who don't know how to drive in the snow. Fucking idiots.

As far as I can tell the clearing of the camp happened months before this and was not even initiated by either wal-mart or other company that apparently did some clearing as well.

They also would have needed zero permission to clear the camp if they wanted to. Wal-mart could have, at any time, notified the people in that camp that the were trespassing and then either had them arrested or had them formally evicted depending on how the camp fell within state law residency.

This seems to me more like they just figured that once they left, if the land was cleared they wouldn't come back, and the clearing was only illegal for environmental reasons, not anything related to the camp.

Oh no a random nobody on reddit who can't accomplish anything more than impotently bitch on social media has a problem with me whatever shall I do.

I don't know if you have any responsible adults to tell you this but downvoting people on the internet doesn't make you right nor does it make you any less unmoored from reality any more than theorizing on true crime subs will make you a criminologist.

​

But you know, hopefully since you care so much you use your spare time and any discretionary income you have to feed and house others.

Sounds like those are the parties you actually have a problem with in this instance. Vs private entities exerting their directly entitled property rights (which Wal-Mart didn't even do in this case because the camp was cleared by the city with no apparent involvement from them because they didn't want a homeless camp near a different project).

I've never been in a town or city without public land.

Regardless, the real issue is that there should be publicly funded programs in place to make sure everyone has some sort of housing but that's not any individual landowners problem. Everyone who has paid for their property has the quite understandable right to say "not here."
