Overnight Open Thread (12-15-2014)Where the Terrorism Comes From A recent terrorism survey (Global Terrorism Index) found that five nations (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Syria, in that order) accounted for 80 percent of all terrorism related deaths in 2013 and even more in 2014. Four Islamic terrorist organizations (ISIL, al Qaeda, Boko Haram and the Taliban) account for nearly 70 percent of all terrorist deaths. Many of the lesser terror groups are also Islamic. In fact, of the top ten nations by terrorist activity (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria, Syria, India, Somalia, Yemen, Philippines and Thailand) only India and the Philippines had a significant minority of terrorist deaths that were not carried out by Moslems. In those two countries the minority terrorists were leftist rebels who had not noticed the collapse of radical socialism in 1989. Harvard Law Review Editor on Exam Delay Request: Our Weakness is Our Strength In which third year HLS student and Very Special Snowflake, William Desmond, explains how the exquisite moral sensitivity and general superiority of current HLS students means that it's simply impossible for them to take the exams on time. Warning: Take any prescribed blood pressure medication before reading Desmond's arrogant jackassery. Speaking as one of those law students, I can say that this response is misguided: Our request for exam extensions is not being made from a position of weakness, but rather from one of strength and critical awareness. Somehow I don't think this guy would put up with any of this I'm-too-special-for-exams BS.
UCLA Law Professor Learns Ferguson-Related Exam Question is Taboo This seems like a perfectly legitimate question based on current events to me. And it doesn't even ask the students to pick a side but merely to discuss the issues involved. But apparently that's now 'racist'. Professor Robert Goldstein said the exam question was designed to test students' ability to analyze the line between free speech and inciting violence. It cited a report about how Michael Brown's stepfather, Louis Head, shouted, "Burn this bitch down!" after a grand jury decided not to indict Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown. But the precious little snowflakes were offended and so the professor had to apologize and abase himself. Yay: Park Rangers to Now Lecture You on Global Warming Ettling has spent his summers working as a park ranger at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon for nearly a decade. He is on a mission to teach visitors that man-made global warming is real. But climate change can be a touchy subject. So Ettling devised a strategy. When a park visitor casts doubt on global warming, he makes an appeal to their pocketbook. Rolling Stone Reporter Apologizes to UVA Students, Promises to 'Re-Report' Rape Story Note: Telling the truth is not an iterative process. One of the friends, a 20-year-old, third-year student referred to as "Randall" in the Rolling Stone article but whose real name is Ryan Duffin, told the AP that not only did he encourage the alleged victim to go to police, but he started to dial 9-1-1 on his cellphone until she begged off saying she just wanted to go back to her dorm and go to sleep. Also: Why Did Jackie Only Tell Her Rape Story to Guys? Heh: Elizabeth Warren Is The Face Of Modern Democrats (And Hillary Is Their Mitt Romney) Guy Who Made A Living Excusing Black Criminality Just Got Murdered By Two Black Oakland Males But make no mistake - this is all due to white privilege. Michael Brown's Adult Police Record Given that he had just barely turned 18 this makes you wonder what lurks in his juvenile record. Never mind - this seems to be a different Michael Brown. The NLRB Is Not Even Pretending Anymore NLRB: Workers Can Use Company Email to Unionize But the company is not allowed to monitor the emails. Yet the company is also liable for any emails sent from its servers. NRLB: Unions Can Now Call Snap Elections And companies must give union activists employees' personal email addresses and home phone numbers. Undercover Cop Pulls Gun On Protesters After Attack in Oakland But then angry mobs are very dangerous things. That members of the protest were capable of violence is self-evident; after some in the crowd started screaming that the two men were undercover officers, the officers identified themselves as police and the taller officer deployed an ASP baton (but did not use it) as the crowd advanced upon them. Wahlberg Beating Victim: 'I Was Not Blinded by Mark Wahlberg' It turns out that the man Mark Wahlberg beat, Johnny Trinh, had already lost his eye while fighting in the South Vietnamese Army. He also thinks Walberg should be pardoned. On the other hand how do we know this 'Johnny Trinh' isn't just some random Asian guy that Wahlberg hired to forgive him. Eh - this does lower the severity of Wahlberg's crime but I'd like to see how many non-celebrity types get pardoned (and regain their gun rights) after youthful felonies before extending this to Marky-Mark. Utah Supreme Court Allows Woman to Marry Dead Boyfriend Sounds crazy but basically the court just retroactively recognized a common-law marriage after the man's death. On the other hand if you're 78 years old, maybe you should just marry the old lady or at least give her power of attorney. The Yahoo AoSHQ group - it's got electrolytes. And my twitter thang.
