Ohio College Policeman Harujko called on scene takes out an alleged terrorist, one shot, one kill, eliminating lengthy trials analyzing what made the perp do what he did. The officers prompt actions garnered praise and appreciation for a job well done up through the Ohio Governor. A few more actions of this type with people supporting law enforcement sends messages to potential punks that they'll be held accountable for their actions.
...hate to say it but they should do this more often...saves time and money on needless and lengthy trials......and eliminates sitting on death row for 30 years awaiting execution or as in some states, being saddled with the cost of giving them free room and board for a life sentence. ...my state has picked up the pace a bit...I believe they've executed 8 deserving bastids this year.
express lane? my state eliminated plastic and paper bags. that's how much we impede the concept of "express".
what pissed me off about this story....headlines everywhere about an 'active shooter and shots fired multiple injuries'. the story evaporated when it turned out to be a car and knife attack. the shots fired were police and the only death (reported as 1) was the perp. sorry but the perp shouldn't be included in the victim totals...its false advertising.
either you buy these nice "green" bags (some derivation of hemp, lol!), or pay a buck per plastic bag (until end of year), bring your own...or carry away. interestingly, most people didn't read the fine print on the ballot initiative (surprise!). so the most common protest now is to buy a cheap glass bottle of honey or molasses and "accidentally" drop on your way out. More costly to clean up than giving out bags. The grocery stores say they have no say, but the reality is they could just defy the law and hand out bags, pushing this bs into the courts. Of course, its all to save the ocean because apparently there is this giant island of a trash gyre in the pacific. nevermind its aftermath from tsunami's....
...ahhh, OK...well, they do need to do something about plastics and styrofoam, etc...of course, some of the styrofoam is now made from corn starch...gotta be a simple way to make this stuff easier to dispose of or biodegradable.
...I suppose I can understand banning plastic bags, but why paper bags?...they're biodegradable...lemme guess, it's to save the trees?
Personally; after seeing several documentaries on the Pacific Plastic glut patch of 1,000s, even 100s of 1,000s of square miles. With more in one zone alone south of Hawaii, is comprised with so much plastic its non-passable for whales, and most ships. pure poison plastic, killing Whales, sea turtles, dolphins, et al. The USA sales approximately 80-90% of all our recyclable plastic, due to the toxicity of recycling it. In other words let China poison their air, and land with our shitload of poisons, by recycling, ntm-the 100s of thousands of poor chinese who sift thru the plastic rubbage on some beaches, or in cities, where recyclable plastics are turned into dumps like non I have ever seen.....but then the dumb asses dump so much toxic shit in the ocean, anyone with a brain would not...... no more libtard non-petro electric heads driving Prius's or other electric gutless hybrids in the "express or diamond lane", of L.A NASCAR Grand Prix race tracks aka as L.A Freeways, or parking lots.....move over, here come raw resource forest lumbar barons in their Petro Heads: Porsche 918's, McClaren P1's..... Buggatti's and Pagani's too, hell a nice Vette would be nice enough. Personally, we bought a few bags made of strong nylon, which is about the size of 3 brown paper bags, and holds much more weight without ripping. As well we have purchased several refrigerated bags, which weren't to expensive. I only wish I had begun this a long time ago, much easier to lug groceries around.... As for the Hemp bags, I'm not that Green......well, just not hemp bags or paper.....they don't smoke worth a shit...`!`
I forgot this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_garbage_patch and an excerpt: Estimates of size: The size of the patch is unknown, because large items readily visible from a boat deck are uncommon. Most debris consists of small plastic particles suspended at or just below the surface, making it difficult to accurately detect by aircraft or satellite. Instead, the size of the patch is determined by sampling. Estimates of size range from 700,000 square kilometres (270,000 sq mi) (about the size of Texas) to more than 15,000,000 square kilometres (5,800,000 sq mi) (0.4% to 8% of the size of the Pacific Ocean), or, in some media reports, up to "twice the size of the continental United States". Such estimates, however, are conjectural given the complexities of sampling and the need to assess findings against other areas. Further, although the size of the patch is determined by a higher-than-normal degree of concentration of pelagic debris, there is no standard for determining the boundary between "normal" and "elevated" levels of pollutants to provide a firm estimate of the affected area. Net-based surveys are less subjective than direct observations but are limited regarding the area that can be sampled (net apertures 1–2 m and ships typically have to slow down to deploy nets, requiring dedicated ship's time). The plastic debris sampled is determined by net mesh size, with similar mesh sizes required to make meaningful comparisons among studies. Floating debris typically is sampled with a neuston or manta trawl net lined with 0.33 mm mesh. Given the very high level of spatial clumping in marine litter, large numbers of net tows are required to adequately characterize the average abundance of litter at sea. Long-term changes in plastic meso-litter have been reported using surface net tows: in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre in 1999, plastic abundance was 335 000 items/km2 and 5.1 kg/km2, roughly an order of magnitude greater than samples collected in the 1980s. Similar dramatic increases in plastic debris have been reported off Japan. However, caution is needed in interpreting such findings, because of the problems of extreme spatial heterogeneity, and the need to compare samples from equivalent water masses, which is to say that, if an examination of the same parcel of water a week apart is conducted, an order of magnitude change in plastic concentration could be observed. In August 2009, the Scripps Institute of Oceanography/Project Kaisei, SEAPLEX survey mission of the Gyre found that plastic debris was present in 100 consecutive samples taken at varying depths and net sizes along a 1,700 miles (2,700 km) path through the patch. The survey also confirmed that, although the debris field does contain large pieces, it is on the whole made up of smaller items that increase in concentration toward the Gyre's centre, and these 'confetti-like' pieces are clearly visible just beneath the surface. Although many media and advocacy reports have suggested that the patch extends over an area larger than the continental U.S., recent research sponsored by the National Science Foundation suggests the affected area may be much smaller.Recent data collected from Pacific albatross populations suggest there may be two distinct zones of concentrated debris in the Pacific.
and- last: numerous videos to watch on the plastic/ocean subject, its all Al Gore's fault.....or Mao Tse Tung's....maybe Ho' Chi Minh's...? https://www.google.com/search?q=pla....670...0i22i30k1j33i160k1j33i21k1.KhEc24bVTC8
