[CW child abuse] Huw Edwards: Former BBC presenter given suspended sentence

spoilerover indecent images of children

this is the guy who announced the queens death

Huw Edwards has been spared jail for accessing indecent images of children as young as seven.

Prosecutor Ian Hope told the court Edwards had been assessed as posing a "medium risk of causing serious harm to children".

In sentencing remarks, district judge Paul Goldspring added he was at "considerable risk of harm from others" if he had ended up in prison.

random bullshit go defense incoming:

A separate report conducted by a psychosexual therapist said: "The feelings of being desirable and unseen alongside Mr Edwards's unresolved sexual orientation created a perfect storm where he engaged in sexual infidelities and became vulnerable to people blackmailing him."

The judge also said that Edwards was of "previous good character" and, until now, had been "very highly regarded by the public" - whom to many he had broken the news of the late Queen's death.

[...]This created an "enduring cognitive dissonance and low self-esteem", which was "compounded by a sense of being inferior" by not getting into Oxford University and going to Cardiff instead and "being therefore something of an outsider at the BBC".

0 time in prison.

Worryingly, young people in the U.K. (ages 18-34) also have the highest levels of support for communism (29 per cent) and fascism (19 per cent) among the four countries.

yeah those are both equally worrying!

My mum is catholic and she does sometimes.. she's ambivalent to this pope but she LOVED pope John Paul II (the one that almost got assassinated, not the one who probably got murdered)

Harris is positioning herself as a Reaganite warlord in a chilling ad that makes clear as day that the Cold War—which proved unbearably hot for the tens of millions of lives the US destroyed in the Third World—was and will continue to be the consensus project of US imperialism.

LMAO - "[Reagan] 'Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall,'

[JFK] 'And when one man is enslaved, all are not free,'

American presidents, Republican and Democrat, have always defied Russia's communist dictators, and defended American ideals.

Kamala Harris gets this. [Kamala] 'If we stand by, while an aggressor invades its neighbour with impunity, they will keep going,'

Kamala Harris will stand up to Putin, protect our allies, and keep us safe."

The veteran was charged with: assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and violation of a constitutional right causing injury.

He will be arraigned tomorrow.

Assault, not attempted murder?

The shooter, Scott Hayes of Framingham, has been harassing and trying to intimidate nonviolent anti-genocide protesters for nearly a year. A look at his social media:

[Photo of one of his tweets and him posting a picture of a gun]

(Apparently he's an Iraq war veteran?) https://xcancel.com/RashTheHorse/status/1834990231285559657

The shooter is also an Iraq War veteran. For all those braindead leftoids who think there's anything worth engaging in the fascist US military. "Bro 1917!!" There is no 1917. This is the Wehrmacht at 1941 in Babyn Yar. Complete fucking scum who should be viewed as the enemy.
