@MSea_OceanTree @BvuePD Try to understand the difference between criminal and civil matters

@BvuePD Theres no excuse to let landlord investors get away with serious crimes against even disabled or elderly paying tenants, to make them injured, broke and homeless. Yet you allow them to do such things and face no consequences. Shall the same be done back to them and their family?

There's no excuse for driving under the influence. Bellevue Police will be conducting a DUI emphasis across the community. Stay safe. Enjoy the holidays. And if you are impaired, get a sober ride! king5.com/video/news/loc…

@Frank05878804 @BvuePD Sounds like your complaints should be addressed to prosecutors and judges not the popo

@BvuePD Out of the 40 arrested how many are being charged and then how many are actually getting jail time for punishment for breaking the law let's see those stats, arresting people means absolutely nothing u get a free ride to jail then get released an hour later,let's see stats.

"Last Friday alone, they made 14 shoplifting arrests and took more than 40 suspects into custody since the emphasis patrols started November 13." The "Stop the Lift" effort will continue through the holidays. If you see shoplifting occurring, call 911. fox13seattle.com/news/bellevue-…

@stevebiddle Tall poppy syndrome is still alive and well in NZ

I'm really interested to know why virtually every mainstream media outlet in NZ keeps trying to paint the picture of Air NZs New York flights being some sort of failure. It's incredibly puzzling why they all have this view when they're anything but.

@CharlesCUlater @NewshubNZ Surprise surprise. Criminals don’t care about firearm laws

@NewshubNZ So much for gun laws.

@dotcommodity @SiouxsieW No, the existing Pfizer orders arriving slightly ahead of time. But they should be ordering boosters now, they’re going to be needed in 6-8 months from now

@SiouxsieW Has NZ bought extra vaccines in response? I keep hearing how pleased they are with the rush to get shots now as if it was just us laggards holding our vaxx rates so low and not the government’s very leisurely slow planned rise. To enable this speedup did NZ get rush orders in?

@DTaylor66 @FITFUNFREE @bfm4440 @Mikel_Jollett A mixture of M16 and M4 carbine

It's weird how the people so concerned about the failure of democracy in Afghanistan don't give a shit about the failure of democracy in Texas or Georgia.

@stevebiddle @agentK Imagine a private company designing a booking system, where there are no wait lists, no queueing and you login everyday and after over a year, you still can't enter the country you pay tax to and have citizenship for If only I was a Rugby player or Olympian or...

@agentK Private security companies are the vast majority of our MIQ security force and we don't have escapees like people who don't realise this (and think NZDF is the security) say would happen.

And cases like this, people, are why we can't let private, commerical enterprises become in charge of MIQ.

@terrajobst @matvelloso Visited there a few years ago over Easter Double down and also visit the Creation Mueseum nearby, conveniently in another state for maximum religious grifting off tax payers Never seem so many Roman execution torture devices

@terrajobst @matvelloso Indeed. Faith,fear,peer pressure are powerful. Or God works in extremely mysterious ways Imagine believing 000,000s of animals lived on 150m boat Imagine believing water droplets did not refract light, before the time of Noah. Rainbows! Religion, an excuse to stop thinking

@stevebiddle @venzann @Kiwiseabreeze @Brian_NZ To blame them for being gullible? Or to blame the politicians that take advantage of them and turned masks into a divisive partisan tribalistic anti-science culture war? Vote blue or red, no matter who, is the recipe for Two-Party Doom Loop So so lucky to have MMP

@venzann @Kiwiseabreeze @Brian_NZ I'm the same. Have a couple of people in the US I've met multiple times at conferences over the years and drunk plenty of beer with who seem to have some strange views of the world and science!

Urg - I seem to have an anti-vaxxer in my FB friends list.... :-( I've been trying to decide whether to respond in some way to their posts, but I suspect it'd be wasted effort.

@matvelloso brainwashed indoctrinated gullible marks How did penguins from Antarctica; Kangaroos from Australia hop to the ME? How Noah lived to be ~750; how did he wake up one morning with naval architecture skills? How did half a trillion cubic meters of water fell as rain for 40 days?

A new poll has Winston Peters and NZ First on the edge of the 5% threshold needed to return to parliament – live updates thespinoff.co.nz/politics/16-08…

@Carnage4Life US politicians are great actors - It’s easier to act dumb & feckless, then blame the other side. We have a stupid two party system, turning into a polarizing doom loop

@SuzanneRobins1 @JamesW228 @GayMaxine @nealejones God works in extremely mysterious ways

@JamesW228 @GayMaxine @nealejones Yes, he can. But Maxine said “if the man had any principles”.

@ryancrawcour @aotearoa_ben @bernardchickey Yes, if they got special treatment, and got citizenship but didn’t met the NZ residency requirements, like the NZ Govt did for Peter Thiel

@Aintropy @Noahpinion With no roads, power, water, sewerage, internet, public transport…

@Noahpinion There's plenty of land in the middle of nowhere you could throw up some housing for cheap. The problem is there is no affordable housing close to job centers.

Technically there is no shortage of housing because price has increased to clear the market. In this paper I will

@edbott @alex Try some in a burger. And a fried egg. Nom nom

Beets are not good

@ryancrawcour Exit Five Eyes too?

@oriwa_ @JamesWafer85 @_chloeswarbrick @teanau_tuiono Or Russia. Or China. Or Israel.

Incredible image pairing, incredible mahi, incredible @teanau_tuiono. We once stopped our seas hosting nuclear weapons. Why are we now letting our land launch and skies host advanced weapons from foreign powers? newshub.co.nz/home/politics/…
