Naw - I'm just pointing out that the Satanic Temple would be the organization likely to sink such a stupid law, should it actually pass.Quote:

There is a reason that soldiers and law enforcement officers receive thousands of hours of training in firearms and tactics. This training is physical, mechanical and, most importantly, psychological, because in order to efficiently and effectively kill other human beings in high-stress situations, one must be conditioned to negotiate that stress.Quote:

You nkow e the Utah Legislature passed a measure in 1983 dubbed the Utah Cable Television Programming Decency Act, which restricted “indecent” programming to the hours of midnight to 7 a.m. Under the terms of the law, programmers like HBO and Showtime would be prohibited from airing R-rated movies 17 hours a day.
Although programmers quickly obtained an injunction preventing the law from being enforced, Utah spent up to $2 million defending it over the next four years and losing at every turn. In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court, by a vote of 7-2, upheld lower court rulings declaring the law unconstitutional — a violation of the First Amendment.
now double that amount for federal land lawsuits in the 90s & 00s.
Party of fiscal responsibility my big white ass.
It hasn't hit the news yet, but Natalie Cline is a horrible fucking person and I'm appalled that she has anything to do with the education of my children.
Oh, the news has it. Granite School District is contemplating extra security at some of their events now.Quote:

"She also defended her intent saying that the girl “does have a larger build, like her parents,”"
WTAF??

One of the better parts of this saga is that the state politician who called for a Cline to apologize on fb also publicly posted details about an athletic tribunal that she legally shouldn’t know, according to a state law that she had put forward.Quote:

I saw Cline’s original post before she deleted it with all the horrible people commenting. It was funny to see Birkeland commenting all high and mighty. I wish I had screen shotted some of it. She kept deleting comments on her “apology” post except for two people defending her which were two of the most horrible commenters on her original post.Quote:

Because most people don’t pay attention to school board elections. Her district is an extremely white area, quite religious at that. Apparently enough people like what she says? (They walk amongst us and act nice to your face.)
extremely white and quite religious. so, utah?Quote:

One of many reasons why I can’t stand religion and religious people. They are the worst of the worst walking among us.Quote:

Seriously, that's the bill that gets y'all riled up? It's a shit messaging bill. There's quite a few other bills that were signed that are significantly more detrimental.
The GSL mining bill got un circled and passed today. That's good news.
Don't worry, there's one day left in the session. Nothing ever happens on the last day..... ;)
The bill giving $1 million to the fuckwad developers of the Kane Creek abomination to create awareness about workforce housing is a special kind of Utarded fuckery. Kael Weston’s brother is one of the developers.
I love my Utah friends and enjoyed the vast majority of my time there, but goddamn that place is a special kind of fucked.

So.... what you're saying is a legislature full of developers is giving money to developers.Quote:

I'm not sure the gravel pit bill is dead yet. There are actually 3 bills. 172, 303, & 502. It's been a shell game. I betcha one will make an appearance tomorrow.Quote:

Hahahha. You actually think cops and soldiers get thousands of hours of training to be able to carry a firearm? Got any source for that? Special forces gets thousands of hours of firearms training. Cops maybe get a couple dozen. Most soldiers that carry a firearm but won't be expected to use it on a daily basis, are a lot closer to the training cops get than the amount spec ops guys get.Quote:

Seriously, below that, and they have decided its not worth the trouble of trying to teach you anything and they dont even want you.

Spending time at the sportsmans caucus this year was eye opening as there are some that are clearly angry, and only trying to do the ‘right thing’ for financial contributors or industry, and others that really care. I’m buckling up for today.

Crews detonate ‘ancient dynamite’ sticks found in Holladay home
https://ksltv.com/639565/crews-deton...holladay-home/
Apparently a substantial amount of dynamite passed down a few generations. I was cruising around on the bike yesterday heading to Big Cottonwood and ran into a closed street with multiple emergency vehicles, a giant ops tent, full gridlock. This was in one of the nicest neighborhoods in the valley btw...
generational dynamite? we don’t see much of that in the upstates…
Generational wealth takes on a different meaning when it ends up blowing up the house the kids are hoping they'll inherit.Quote:
