I love how desperate they are to frame this as a bad thing.

Almost like it was always a grift

They’re really putting the fed into feddit.

MODDDDDDSSS HEXBEARS ARE POSTING AGAIN MODDDDSSSS

But the administration stopped short of a definitive assessment, saying that due to the chaos of the war in Gaza it could not verify specific instances where use of those weapons might have been involved in alleged breaches.

Just throw a dart at a map

No way they were using all those weapons for genocide??!!!?!

lmao as if he’s just now realizing this, sure thing.

I can do both.

Death to Israel. Death to America.

He put down an anti-government uprising by slaughtering 18,000 people. “Not perfect” is an understatement.

Okay yeah climate change is causing a mass extinction event and turning the planet into an uninhabitable hellhole for future generations but won’t anyone think about the economy???

It means the US War Department, who has been funneling weapons to Israel for them to use in their genocide of Palestinians, have investigated themselves and found they have done nothing wrong.

Further clarification: while he fled from Columbia to Fort Lauderdale, FL, the known pedophile Timothy Alan Livingston actually lives in Cleveland, Ohio.

we’ve read the same article

I don’t think we have, because if you did, you would have read that Columbia has issued an arrest warrant for this man. So no, it is not mob justice when people spread the name of the pedophile Timothy Alan Livingston of Cleveland, Ohio, who has a Colombian arrest warrant issued for him because he, over the course of one night, attempted to bring at least four different underage girls into his hotel room in an attempt to have sex with them.

You keep defending this pedophile and it’s creepy as fuck. Reconsider the decisions you’ve made that have brought you to this point in your life.

The events began on the night of March 27th at around nine o’clock, when Livingston attempted to enter his room at the Gotham City Hotel in Medellin with what appeared to be two underage girls. A hotel staff member prevented their entry, so Livingston and the girls left the hotel located in the famous ‘El Poblado’ district.

Hours later, around four o’clock in the morning on March 28th, with no security checks at the establishment’s entrance, the American managed to enter his room with two different underage girls aged 12 and 13, as evidenced by security camera footage.

Following an anonymous call to the national police, the authorities arrived at the hotel and inspected the premises but found no evidence of the accused touching the minors, and both girls denied being touched. The 36-year-old suspect was detained for 12 hours at a Protection Transfer Center (CTP) but was released hours later, allowing him to return to his country on Monday, March 29th. The girls were seen by security cameras leaving the hotel calmly, seemingly counting several Colombian 50,000-peso bills.

Did someone frame him into twice bringing underaged girls to his hotel room in an area known for sex trafficking, including putting used condoms in his wastebasket? Or do you think it’s the far simpler explanation that he is a pedophile who was caught in the act?

You do not, in fact, need to run defense for pedophiles.

He took two 12- and 13-year-old girls into his hotel room located in an area known for sex tourism so he could talk with them about how dangerous it is to go into hotel rooms with strangers, he totally wasn’t going to do anything else, he swears.

Death to America. Death to Israel.

Again, it’s not binary for me

Should it be legal for consenting adults or not? Sounds like a binary question to me.

we shouldn’t also (in my opinion) just open the gates and let this substance into foray of our daily lives

You speak as if legalizing cannabis will suddenly make it available everywhere, but it won’t, because it already is everywhere, and it has been for decades. I had no trouble obtaining weed before my state legalized it, and I’m just a boring ass suburban white dude who barely knows anybody. Criminalization has never made cannabis go away, and continued criminalization isn’t going to change that.

I appreciate that you’re concerned about drug abuse and drug addiction, and those are real concerns that I don’t want to minimize, but refusing to legalize it won’t solve those problems, because most countries have been doing that for the better part of a century and it plainly hasn’t worked. If people want to abuse drugs, they’re going to abuse them whether or not they can acquire them legally. But at least when it’s legal people won’t have to fear going to jail because they got harassed by a cop while in possession, and making it legal reduces the stigma of drug abuse and makes seeking treatment easier to do.

If you are a leftist you should be against the criminalization of drug use or drug possession, especially for a drug as relatively harmless as cannabis. Like this really is a no-brainer, throwing someone in jail because they’re addicted to drugs doesn’t help them in any conceivable way. Drug abuse is a mental health problem and should be treated like one. Get them therapy and addiction support to help them get over it, and stop criminalizing drugs for people who can use it responsibly.
