My parents are Indian. My dad has always been pretty annoying about what I wear... no dresses above the knees, no short shorts, etc. very critical of my friends and I wasn’t allowed to hang out with many friends. Even if I did it would only be for like 2 or 3 hours at a time before he showed up to pick me up. He also says I need to lose weight I’ve heard it since I was like 10.
My sister is allowed to wear dresses above the knee and with skin revealing and stuff and today we dropped her and her friend looking fashionable (wearing short dresses) at downtown. Watching her walk away made me a little upset knowing that my dad is still critical of what I wear but seemingly isn’t for her.
My Ex-husband (div. final 2019) was extremely abusive; physical, sexual, financial, emotional. I learned to disassociate just to survive. The last time he physically assaulted me was at a public camp ground and my screams brought witnesses who called the police……and finally I was able to escape! It was public, other people saw it….they stopped it, thankfully, because he was screaming he was going to kill me. This was supposed to be my out.
The arrest for 3 felonies 2 civil crimes, including AnB with a deadly weapon was Labor Day weekend 2018……but fast forward and pandemic hits, courts essentially shut down and here we are in 2021 and my ex’s case is assigned a bench trial instead of a jury trial, which it was supposed to be. My lawyer told me that in the state they are so backlogged in the court that all domestic violence cases are being diverted to bench trials. How is this fair!!!?? Assault is assault and IMO it should be WORSE if you know the victim. I just want him to see the same justice that any other A&B perpetrator would.
It’s been hard enough for me to keep the restraining order - if I don’t get a guilty verdict then I def won’t be able to keep it!
Ive been dealing with the worst PTSD symptoms for the past couple years, I can’t sleep, I don’t feel safe ever, I lost my job, I have been having so much random anxiety all the time. And now I feel like my ex is going to just get off on everything. How is this fair!
I was playing invasion just now as a tank gunner in an insurgent tank right. We got smoked as an enemy attack was coming in, my driver was killed as I asked if he could go in the machine gunner seat. So I did what I had to and pulled the tank back since my driver was dead and I get kicked from the game. Please give a warning or something so I don't have to wait in a 12 person queue just to get in the game I just got kicked from.
You bring light and laughter to their life, and to others, even if you don't feel like you do. You are your own person, not your accomplishments, not your failures. You are human, which means you can fuck up! lenience is a thing that we all need sometimes, so don't forget to go easier on yourself. The bar is too high for us, and that's okay. We'll make our own standards, and we'll find where the bar fits. You are loved, and you are not a fuck up. Your memory is crap, but so is mine. You miss things, but so do I. You are your own person, and your failures will grow you.
To the ones frustrated about themselves, the ones having a bad day, the ones on the floor, the ones crying, devastated, ashamed. There is no growth without rain. Please remember that. You are beautiful in your own way, in your ability to think outside of the box, in your ability to see stuff others don't. You are an explorer who's stuck in the rain right now, but the storm will pass and you will carry on, for better or for worse. If it's for worse, good. That's more opportunity to grow and learn. But do not give up just yet. There's so much ahead to accomplish and see. Whatever you're going through, it might seem like it'll never end, but it will, and whatever it is, It is only temporary.
To the ones having a good day today, the ones growing, the ones learning, the ones becoming confident. Good job! I am proud of you. I'm proud of your growth and your beauty. I'm proud of what you've become. Keep growing, and learning and helping others! You are figuring out yourself and that's amazing! I'm proud of the things you've had to go through because you have shown that you will not go down that easy.
To everyone. You are a fighter, and you are an explorer. You may have bad moments, but do not forget that you affect others in ways you don't even expect or know of. You are so very loved, even if it doesn't feel like it. You are beautiful and wonderful and strong. Do not give up just yet. You lead in the best ways, and you think of the most unexpected things. You find your own path and notice the ladybugs when others are looking at the orchard.
Keep going, captain. Carve your own path through the sea.
-Raven.
Question 2 posed first.
Hawaii's Legislature might soon weigh an ambitious criminal justice reform plan that calls for a shift from incarceration to rehabilitation. The plan also seeks a major reduction in confinement of native Hawaiians.
As a group, native Hawaiians are somewhat similar to native Americans, subject to higher than average 1) poverty, 2) unemployment, 3) family disfunction, (e.g. single parent families,) 4) substance abuse, 5) lack of education, etc. According to the report:
>”Native Hawaiians and part-Native Hawaiians make up approximately 21% of the general population, but 37% of the prison population.” p. 5
>”Despite numerous studies and reports on the overrepresentation and disparate treatment of Native Hawaiians in the criminal justice and correctional systems, few, if any, steps have been taken to address this problem.” p. 23
>(Recommendation) Set numerical goals...for reducing Hawaii’s prison population, and in particular, the number and percent of Native Hawaiians..." p. 86
What is the solution? Should Hawaiians be given differential treatment by the courts, say more probation instead of incarceration, relative to sentences handed out for identical crimes committed by offenders of other races?
Accurately called preferential treatment by the courts?
Item 2 There is sentiment, primarily from liberals, that the high Hawaiian inmate population stems from "disparate treatment" by Hawaii's criminal justice system. This wording appears only once (p. 23) in the report to our Legislature but is used extensively in the underlying 2012 The Native Hawaiian Justice Task Force Report.
"Disparate treatment" is a serious charge against a justice system. It is essentially the indictment from blacks about our America's justice system. And the assertion has been overwhelmingly correct. Examples:
I. Federal Sentencing Disparity: 2005–2012. (Contains extensive statistical documentation)
>(research question): Do...black...offenders receive prison terms that are longer on average than...white offenders...? We call observed differences disparity... p. 1 (6.0 Conclusions)...we find that black males receive harsher sentences than white males after accounting for the facts surroundin

So I'm pretty sure I got flashed. I was doing around 55 in a 40 in the right lane( don't know if the lane makes a difference). As stupid as this sounds, the car I'm in gets rid of the digital display when the fuel is low and I didn't really check the speedometer for my speed. Ended up trying to keep up with the van in the left lane and just driving at the speed that felt comfortable and yeah... got flashed.
Anyway, was wondering if there is any lenience given if the speeding is done at night and on an empty road? It was on the A12 and there were no traffic lights anywhere near or pedestrian crossings. Just a clear stretch. I think I read that someone manually reviews the photographs taken so is there a chance they might be a bit more lenient in this case or is it just a clear cut ticket?
Oh and also say I do get a ticket I'd be bracket B and get 3 points + a £100 fine right?
And last question xd, how long does it take for the ticket to come in? Does the ticket say the speed you were going at? I don't really want my mum to see it and then get paranoid every time I go driving.
Cheers for any responses.
Firstly, in no way is this excusing Hillary’s many offenses against the extensive list of people she has harmed. BUT, I have not been able to stop thinking about how incredibly fucked up her parents have to be. There has to be more to that story.
Short of a violent act against humanity, there is almost nothing that would make me abandon my children. Their silence in the press/in general is odd to me? Considering the book Hillary’s mom wrote and what they do for work. What her father studies…is it possible they are the founders of the grift? Were Hillary and her brother a failed experiment to raise “Spanish” children to give more credibility to their clinic(s)?
I don’t know. Hillary is a grown woman with children so she 100% needs to take responsibility for the abuse she inflicts but, I sort of see a narcissist who has just been passed along to be used from her parents and then to PeePaw who enables whatever sort of poor mental health she is in the throes of.
No doubt that Alec is a monster and this woman needs serious help. So yes, she sucks. But something seems fishy with her parents (and her much older and more powerful husband) and I really wonder if there’s a story that’s missing.
Thoughts?
