Houston clears Planned Parenthood... and indicts prolife activists instead.

Sickening disgusting that judge or grand jury should be arrested [balance of sentence deleted by Torie].

I am not going to infract this time, but what you wrote there that I deleted is not acceptable. Please don't do that sort of thing again. Thanks.

What is this? I thought there were no infractions? Or have you mods just put them out of sight?  Or do you mean muting somebody?

If a post is out of line, and a Mod chooses to infract, it goes up on the infraction board. That really does not matter per se, until a point is reached, where the Mods are considering if some punishment of a poster needs to be considered, and then the infracted posts can be reviewed. In this case, the subject post will not be in that subset. I prefer trying to work with posters, before going there, where that approach seems reasonable, and it is not a clear case of a poster deliberately violating the rules on something that matters.

So they were indicted for making a fake drivers license? Keep that in mind, kids!

A second count apparently was an attempt to traffic in body parts, which is ridiculous, and an affirmative defense to a fake ID rap is that there was no intent to defraud, and there clearly was no intent to defraud, just expose, so the indictment seems to be a clear miscarriage of justice, and should be thrown out by the court with some dispatch.

Seriously? Making up fake IDs is not a crime if there's no "intent to defraud" (whatever the hell that means)?

Correct.
