Too many of the potential jurors said that even if the defendant, Elisa Meadows, was guilty, they were unwilling to issue the $500 fine a city attorney was seeking, said Ren Rideauxx, Meadows’ attorney.

              Very elegant. Nothing to add, nothing to take away. Perfection.

        Worse: they think they got theirs but didn’t. The group most likely to experience homelessness? Boomers. The group most entering the workforce? People over 75 years old.

        An entire generation worked so hard to put their vision of the world out there but couldn’t see that they were destroying their own future in the process.

      Believe it or not, it used to be illegal in most places to be in public if you were maimed or deformed. We’re talking veterans will be arrested for walking down the street. The reason? Good christian folk suffer when they see it, it has to be kept out of sight.

      This is the 20th century version of that.

        This still goes on with dress codes directed at women. “This women’s skirt is an inch too short, all the boys will turn into sexual predators!”

          Men should grow beards because other men might become sexually attracted to them if they don’t.

              This is a reference from a couple years back. Don’t recall where but a Muslim scholar made this argument. It’s bad to not have a beard just in case, apparently.

          Had no idea that it was called that. The San Francisco law was specifically the one I was thinking of.
