Imagine discovering your preteen daughter had been groomed by an online predator and has sent pictures of herself to him. One of the first things you might do is call the police. You probably want to do other things. Maybe you glance at your gun safe. But you call the police instead, because that’s the civilized thing to do. When they arrive at your doorstep, they tell you that your daughter, the victim, could be charged with producing child pornography. Why track down the predator when they could more easily grab the criminal accomplice, your 11-year-old daughter? This is reality for an Ohio man who, when two officers from the Columbus Division of Police arrived at his home, discovered they had come to charge rather than help her. The viral doorbell camera footage is so surreal it seems fake. But it is real, and it is illustrative of the deteriorating social order of a society gradually losing its collective mind. Read⤵️

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Maine. Tricia Asselin, 53, worked part-time at Just-In-Time Recreation, a bowling alley. Although it was her day off, she was there bowling with her younger sister. She is remembered as being kind and generous.

@cesifoti How original. Europeans complaining about the US, especially it’s food. I’m originally from Sweden. I have lived in Holland, France, Canada. All places have good and bad. If you only ate at diners with plastic menus while living in the US, you missed out.

Three years ago my family and I moved to France 🇫🇷. We left the United States 🇺🇸after living there for more than 16 years. Today, I am no expert in France or the United States, but I am a bit of an expert on their differences. While both France and the US are both prominent parts of the western world, they do not share the same culture. France has to a large extent avoided American influence, making it quite unique in western Europe. Some of these differences involve informal institutions: cultural norms & attitudes towards life and work. The United States, for instance, is a culture of scale and volume. Despite a vast territory, it carries a uniformity that is hard to deny, from the ubiquitous presence of red Solo cups, to the oversized obsession with giant wedding cakes. America is about making it big: becoming rich, growing famous. France is quite different. It is a culture of quality and differentiation. Take French cuisine as an example. Unlike other world cuisines, which are characterized by dishes (e.g., Italian pizza or Spanish paella), the French restaurant experience is one where chefs are always adding their own twist. Almost any dish can be served in a French restaurant because what makes it French is the attention to detail in the preparation. French restaurants also tend to focus on few dishes, and I am not talking about Michelin star restaurants, but regular lunch places that serve a fixed menu at noon. Many of them are great, and provide a very contrasting experience to that of the American dinner. No 20-page plasticized menu with 100s of options (none prepared very well), but a few carefully crafted dishes each day. It is not about more, bigger, or faster, but about fewer, different, and better. No architectural scale sponge-filled wedding cakes, but delicious and beautifully crafted petite gâteaus that satisfy you with taste, not size. My experience in France has of course, also been unique. France may not look very big on the map, but it is a country with important regional differences. In my case I live in Toulouse, a city in the southwest, in between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and once the capital of the Visigoth kingdom. Its' downtown is a wonder of urban planning, with medieval streets and gorgeous public spaces that are usually filled with life. And in some ways, Toulouse is still the capital of its own little world, being more than a 4-hour drive from other large cities (Barcelona, Bilbao, or Marseille) and as far from Paris as you can get, it is large and far enough from other big urban centers to be its own thing. Free from tourists and souvenir shops, it is an oasis, despite having immense architectural beauty and a one million people population. But there are other ways in which France has been kind to us. Our story in Toulouse started in October of 2020, amid the pandemic, and the first gift we got was for my daughter to start attending school in person right away. In the United States, she was scheduled to complete all of first grade in Zoom. In Toulouse, she never had to be a remote elementary school student. Once the pandemic subdued, we begun to explore Toulouse’s surroundings, discovering quickly that we were not going to run out of weekend trips anytime soon. Google places like Cordes-sur-ciel, Albi, Mirapoux, Lectoure, Auch, Rocamadour, Sarlat, Fortress de Penne, and St Antonin-du-Noble-Val just to get an idea of the dozens of medieval villages that are a short drive away. That’s not counting Carcassonne which is too touristic to be relaxing :o). You can literally throw a dart on a map and find an amazing place to visit in a landscape that has remained virtually untouched for 800 years, since the Albigensian crusade. Of course, like in all places, not everything works perfectly in France. But that’s something that I do not need to share here nor today. Overall, these three years have been an amazing and an interesting adventure, in a particular part of the world that I think it is as good as it gets.

So, @JillMcCorkel and @fadergator made fun of me so badly for the last video I made (rightly so) that I made them appear in this new promo. Not as easy as they thought. Although the cinematography is far superior this time around. See you in Philly...

We just completed a study on @SafeStreetsBalt and found evidence it reduced gun violence ~20%. ROI between $7 to $19 for every $1 spent on the program.
Charmcitycop@charmcitycop

Baltimore, does this sound familiar? Has anyone dug into the political connections of the Baltimore anti-violence groups? Other than @MayorBMScott saying that the ant-violence programs are effective there is very little evidence to support his claim

1/ Big problems with this study. 1) Uses much larger area unit (Ward) than the intervention; 2) Doesn't include homicides;🤔3) Most analyses don't show DiD effects; 4) Doesn't consider other interpretations of the data that suggest positive CVI effects.

@EvanMcCuish “Assertions about adolescents with features of psychopathy as posing a life-long risk for reoffending may require revisitation.” — agree here, and thanks for sharing your work!
