The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And to amplify my point, since all the lefties won't read anything.
The DOJ maintains a firm double standard when it comes to choosing whom to prosecute. That's going to skew crime statistics.

Case 1. A man is at a protest with his son. A counter protestor hassles the son, causing the man to shove the protestor away.
Case 2. A man vandalizes a building, sprays hateful messages on it, assaults an employee who tries to stop him, then bashes the police cruiser and resists arrest.

Case 1 is a man named Mark Houck, who was protesting at an abortion clinic. The local police investigated and found nothing. The local prosecutor declined to press any charges. But the DOJ sent the FBI to arrest him at his home and prosecuted him, recommending a sentence of 11 years.

Fortunately the jury called BS on the charges and acquitted Mr. Houck.

Case 2 is a transgender named Maeve Nota (I don't care what his pronouns are). Despite the obvious hate-crime nature of his attack on a Catholic Church (he was upset about the Dobbs ruling), his physical assault on an employee there and the subsequent damage to a police cruiser while in the act of resisting arrest, the DOJ declined to push for any jail time.

Facts.

So I'm suuuuuuure all the things are counted fairly and accurately.
