>A federal judge Monday upheld North Carolina’s controversial new voting law, dealing a blow to critics who said the state’s rules will discourage minorities from casting ballots during this fall’s presidential election.
>The voting law, passed by North Carolina’s legislature in 2013, is among the strictest in the country. It reduces the number of days of early voting, prohibits people from registering and voting on the same day, stops ballots cast in the wrong precinct from being counted, ends the practice of preregistering teenagers before they turned 18 and requires a photo ID to vote.
>Republican legislators say they added the restrictions to combat voter fraud and to preserve the integrity of the voting system.
>In his 485-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Thomas D. Schroeder wrote that “North Carolina has provided legitimate state interests for its voter ID requirement and electoral system that provides registration all year long up to twenty-five days before an election, absentee voting for up to sixty days before an election, ten days of early voting at extended hours convenient for workers that includes one Sunday and two Saturdays, and Election Day voting.”
>Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson said Monday night, “We’re disappointed in the ruling, reviewing the decision carefully and evaluating our options.”

Amazing how a relatively small instance can inflame tensions this badly. There had to be some underlying mistrust already there with this incident merely being a catalyst.

Yes, they were killed as they unlawfully rushed the stadium seating.
>>
>>41017
They only rushed in because of police commanders mishandling the crowds, the game itself, being completely ignorant the stadium's capacity and the police presence available; and finally deciding to cower away in a room whilst the heroes of the emergency services and fans who were retired/off-duty firemen, doctors etc did what they could.
You are an absolute cunt, a complete bastardization of a "human" being if you can't even understand how these people were victims of a tragedy. I hope you choke on your filthy, fucking horrible words you prick.

Can't they simulate the chimes some other way, while the repairs are being made?

"We all have our flaws, but Dennis Hastert has very few," wrote DeLay, the Texas Republican who served as majority leader under Hastert in the early 2000s. "He doesn't deserve what he is going through. I ask that you consider the man that is before you and give him leniency where you can."

>Baltimore police shot and wounded a 13-year-old boy who was carrying a realistic-looking replica handgun on Wednesday, the anniversary of a riot sparked by a black man's death in police custody, a police official said.
>Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis told reporters near the scene of the shooting that two officers spotted the teenager carrying what appeared to be a firearm, identified themselves and gave chase when he ran away.
>Wednesday marked the one-year anniversary of rioting in Baltimore following the death of unarmed black man Freddie Gray while in police custody.
>"This is exactly what our community expects a police officer to do when they see someone with a firearm," Davis said. "Why this young man chose to flee on foot when he was approached by two Baltimore police officers, I don't know."
>Davis said the teen's injuries were not life threatening.

Trump was asked about a passage that influenced his thinking or character. He replied with Exodus 21:22-25 (an eye for an eye) and took it to justify pure retribution.
This article challenges his interpretation as hetrodox and offensive to Christian values.

Interpreting Bible scripture is a little like answering a question you made up yourself - there's no wrong answer.
>>
>>39277
>no wrong answer
Christianity isn't Islam. It's not sufficient to say you're a Christian and that you love the Bible to be considered a faithful member of the community. There are wrong interpretations and there are less right interpretations. More right interpretations can be the product of a modern "Christian Establishment", an antiquated one, or the text itself.
Trump says he loves the Bible and that he's a Christian believer. This article indicates than his profession of faith is institutionally profane from every angle. This article also indicates that his his preference passage and his understanding of what it means is directly contradicted by the teachings of Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount.
Trump can only be not wrongif the church(s), scripture, and words of Jesus are not right.
