Death is torture and pain. Death is not living.

Even if we knew 100% that every person sentenced to death was guilty I’d still be opposed to the death penalty. I do not believe the state should be executing people

Is this a lookalikes thread now?

I’m totally fine with the death penalty being abolished. I personally feel life in prison is much worse knowing that you’ll never have a moment of freedom again. Worse than death IMO.

I believe most would have this opinion until death becomes a reality and not just a possibility.

Kind of crazy how he explains that the Target CEO said the problem is unwanted merchandise and the responses are still stuck on the shoplifting explanation. The reported shoplifting incidents don't seem like they'd lead to major losses.

Redundancy when consumers and Target are pushing delivery over brick and mortar seems like the real problem. The stores closing in NY and SF are both less than 3 miles from two other Targets.

 

[TownieDeac]

It’s pretty wild how universally accepted the narrative was that crime forced store closures. Almost as if retail concerns were in league with law enforcement to pressure local governments in some way. Messy stuff.

This was true in all those retail theft cases in the Bay and LA, too

Journalists don’t even pretend to report news anymore. They just write down whatever the media relations folks ask them to write

 

[PhDeac]

Journalism is about getting the story quickly and setting a narrative to generate clicks and views. So yeah, they just take what the cops or Target PR people say and run with it. No critical thinking involved.

Do journalism majors (or anybody in journalism) learn historical methods? Perhaps if journalists saw themselves as contemporary historians, the field and all of us would be better off.

To be fair, I don’t think it matters how the journalists see themselves when they work for a corporate conglomerate solely focused on ad sales and subscription revenues.
