I would not like to see that sort of escalation of the politicization of this. I also suspect Penny would refuse the medal.

At the next election. His predecessor (Vance) had that job for 12 years. His predecessor (Morgenthau) had it for 34 years.

Vance is the son of the former Secretary of State.
Morgenthau was the son of the former Secretary of Treasury.

Not everybody on this board knows what they are talking about.

I won't name names. There is too much at stake.

Hate-read the whole thread.

I’m glad I had the opportunity to vote against him three times. Third one took.

I hope those of you who identify as white will take his words to heart.

[Copper]

I feel terrible.

[LuFins Dad]

So this means we’re allowed to randomly start choking out homeless black people on subways, right?

[Mik]

I’m so ashamed.

Oh, wait….

Apparently, someone IN THE COURTROOM threatened to kill Penny.

No commentator I've heard on this case can come up with a reasonable explanation for why a jury could be hung on the more severe charge but unanimously not-guilty on the charge with a lower standard of proof. Of course, the juror(s) who wanted guilty on Manslaughter might have just been sick of deliberating, or got emotional or petulant for whatever reason, but there's no logic to this otherwise.
