Exactly. Dogs should just be having fun. I don’t know anyone who has as much fun as a dog. We ought to encourage that. Nothing better than seeing an ecstatic doggo living their best life.

Stories like this & the parachuting beavers is why I come to the internet.

Gotta make sure they have the right gear. Young pigeons are under such pressure these days to have the best designer duds.

I think Adidas will see a marketing opportunity here.

I’m so sorry your mom went thru this. Mine died within 2 weeks of being diagnosed with cancer & while I was in shock at the time I’ve seen ppl linger years with it & im glad now she went relatively quickly.

My dad otoh died from a series of strokes & was paralysed from the neck down his last 2 years. To my shame he begged me to put a pillow over his face but I couldn’t do it. I was in my early 20s & had never killed anything. I feel awful I let him down but tbh I’m not sure I could do it now. I think him begging me to kill him is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to deal with.

Imagine the thought process involved: : “today I’m going to overthrow our oppressive government in the name of freedom & democracy. Wearing my panda suit.”

Thank you for explaining. Glad to know I wasn't as confused as I thought :)

I was confused by what they meant as well. Afaik juvenile just means young person. But I'm in England, maybe in America it has other connotations? Idk

Then I'm going to declare myself First Cat Minister of Scotland. Never been there in my life but I've always wanted to. And I'm good at cats :)

They don't even need to bother with the pretense of all that: they know they'll face no consequences whatever they do.

r/namflashbacks

Yes of course, I'd somehow forgotten covid. Not sure how I managed to do that.

Do you know any reason why it took so long? I'm in UK & our courts are notoriously slow but this seems excessive.

I think the best we can say is no-ones dead yet. Sounds like there may be a death yet. Hope not.

I’m glad they’re not dead. Hopefully they will recover. But I’d be struggling to feel positive about this if I was one of the victims.

Omg I read this as 9/11. Was thinking "but surely it all took place on one day? Hence why it's called 9/11" my poor uk brain is still on holiday mode.

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Under-rated comment

After conviction would be too late if someone had information relevant to this person that could impact tbe case. I'm in the uk & have never been to the us or Canada, I'm not sure what confirmation bias you think I'm looking for & I dont see how a name can give that.

I do like playing internet detective, it's a popular pastime lol. But in this case I dont think sherlock Holmes levels of deduction are required. That's more for r/unsolvedmysteries.

I never thought about their ethnicity, you are ascribing intent that really isn't there. I'm not white myself & believe me I know all about criminalization of minorities & have personal experience of this.

Is that the age of the person bailed? Sorry if I missed that. But if there are other victims out there, they should be given every chance to feel they can come forward.

As I mentioned, it can encourage victims to come forward.

I'm in uk & although childrek that we publish names to encourage other victims to come forward, ip punishment but I do get sick of seeing victims treated as less impt than perps.

Edit: looking at this comment this morning, it is nonsense. I was very tired when I typed it & can't make sense of it myself now. There's whole lines missing. Sorry bout that.

I'm upvoting you cos I'm grateful for the info but imo protecting names is not helpful to someone who may feel they're "getting away with not being known" & thus have no incentive not to do it again. I get that they are innocent til proven guilty, I just don't see the hiding of identity having any positive effect.

Body Brokers was a good film about this. I'm in UK & our detox/ rehab system is thankfully very different. I was shocked at the shenanigans that went on. All based on a true story.
