  • In an ideal world, sure. School, largely, hasn’t taught that in a long time. That’s not how the incentive structures work. School is incentivized by grades, grades don’t go up with learning, teaching is hard, memorizing and regurgitating? That’s much easier. Tests have been changed to reflect that.

    Unless, you’re not American that is. I wouldn’t have any experience with a somewhat functional education system.






  • Right, but I’m saying, that that state is going to attempt to prosecute, and the Feds are going to say it should be a federal trial, and drop charges. Are you saying the state would refile charges? Can you do that? You have already filed them, the feds said it was a federal issue, then refused to prosecute.

    I guess where I’m confused is, if the it went to federal court, it wouldn’t be tried in state court, correct?

    Or, are you saying, it can be both? Which, I can understand that, but, again, I don’t see how the state prosecutes, if the federal court rules that it’s a federal offense, not a state offense.

    Edit: I’ve looked into it, involving federal agents, the case can be removed to a federal judge to oversee the states proceeding.








  • Funny, I was here to also tell a story except about a psych nurse. A “friend” of a friend. This actually happened recently. Dude was a cop, as was my friend(past tense is important here), they bonded over PTSD as well as both being on a psych unit. Well, dude tells a lot of stories about his copping days, and my buddy vouches for him as a date for a coworker. Turns out, guy is crazy, gets super possessive, crazy stuff like sending hundreds of texts a day, and violently rapes her. His whole backstory of being a cop was a lie, after digging, and finding close to double digits social media accounts, turns out he was separated for “administrative purposes” and moved here.

    Most unsettling thing, for both me, and my friend, is, there weren’t really a ton of egregious red flags, looking back, sure, but in the moment, absolutely not. He’s having a hard time trusting his judgment(insert quip about being a cop at one point). I truly believe that was the first psychopath I’ve met.
