I’m wondering how “lawful order” laws could possible be either (a) compatible with the idea that “it’s a free country” instead of a police state, or (b) not unconstitutionally vague. It’s lawful to give the police all kinds of favors, does it mean it’s a lawful order if the police demand these favors?

As AD&D taught us, lawful - chaotic is a separate spectrum from good - evil. We can have all combinations.

I have a dim memory f seeing this on Real People or something. Maybe on That’s Incredible or Ripley’s Believe It or Not.
It was presented as good clean fun for the whole family.
Stop the world…I want to get off!

I cannot tell you how angry I am to see that this asshole is up for parole soon. Every time I think of those little children being blown up, I cannot breathe. Birmingham is where I grew up. That bombing feels so personal.

Angola is just straight up slavery. There’s no pretense of pretending the inmates are humans.

I am inclined to say that it’s complete balderdash, though I am at a disadvantage, since it hasn’t been published yet.
But here’s one that has.
Criminal tendency is another personality trait. Lombroso [2] was the first in 1871 to point out that criminals could be identified by their facial structure and emotions. Recently, Wu and Zhang [11] revisited this theory and quantitatively demonstrated the correlation between criminality and facial features. They trained four classifiers: logistic regression, k nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machines (SVM), and convolutional neural network (CNN) and claimed that their machine can identify a criminal face with a 90% accuracy. Their model was controlled for gender, race, and facial expression of emotions.
If you follow the Wu and Zhang link, you might find that they’ve gotten rather huffy.

My favorite response in the thread is also the simplest:
How can this be done without bias? You literally judging someone by their appearance.

But it’s an algorithm. It can’t be biased! /s

Mannix booted himself from the Democratic party when he did his 90s tough-on-crime bullshit.
Why cut him down? Because he’s trash.
