So many women are used to the groping and inappropriate behaviour that they shrug it off. Swift didnt do anything but complain to her mom and manager. The manager informed the sponsor (the DJ's employer) who did their own investigation and fired him. Then he, incredulously, sues Swift (and her mom and manager). He assaults her and then sues her. I have a lot of respect for Swift in how she handled out. Im sure the DJ figured she'd want to avoid the pub and expense and they'd come to a settlement. In stead, she takes the time to actually go to trial and counter sues for $1 because its not about money. And in her own statement she said she is very fortunate to be able to defend herself and finance a trial when so many others can't. So...good for Taylor Swift!

Jimmy Pop Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Wasn't sure where to put this... Winnipeg soon to be added as a bureau under The Athletic banner. I for one am always starved for more sports content, and I think these guys have been doing it right, bringing on board lots of a-list sports personalities. Hopefully they'll make some good local hires and improve the city's print content for sports. Quote New city outposts were opened in Toronto (November 2016), Cleveland (March 2017), Detroit (July 2017) and the San Francisco Bay Area (August 2017), with Philadelphia up next (September 2017). Additionally, in short order, there will be bureaus launched in the NHL's six other Canadian cities (Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Winnipeg), plus more hockey coverage across the U.S. https://theathletic.com/86695/2017/08/23/whats-next-for-the-athletic-glad-you-asked/ The Unknown Poster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 http://www.nationalreview.com/article/451013/banana-peel-frightens-ole-miss-fraternity-retreat-canceled-mississippi Quote A weekend fraternity retreat at the University of Mississippi ended early on Saturday because a student threw his banana peel away in a tree — and some students who saw it got “frightened” that the peel was a racist attack. According to an article in the Daily Mississippian, three black students told National Pan-Hellenic Council leaders that they had seen a banana peel on a tree and that they were very upset about it. The leaders then shared their concerns with the rest of the camp, and one of the attendees, Ryan Swanson, admitted that he had placed the peel on the tree — explaining that he had actually not done so because he hates people of color and wants to intimidate them, but because he just couldn’t find a garbage can to put it in. But it didn’t end there: In fact, it prompted an entire day of “camp-wide conversation” about the racist “symbolism, intended or not” of the banana, a conversation that made some students feel so upset that they didn’t feel “safe” enough to stay, which ultimately led to the rest of the retreat being canceled altogether. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Check out the video in this story. Short version. Suspect speeds away from police on Utah. Suspect crashes head on into truck driver. Suspect dies. Truck driver, the victim, arrived at hospital in a coma. Poloce arrice to take blood from the victim to check for illicit drugs. Nurse refuses. Policy and law is clear. Police cannot take blood unless patient gives consent, is under arrest or there is a warrant. None of which exist. Cop threatens to arrest nurse if she does not let him take blood. She confirms the law and gets her supervisor on the phone. Cop can be heard telling another cop they can't get a warrant because there isn't probable cause. Nurse stands her ground. Cop physically takes her under arrest. Cop is still on duty nurse is a hero in my book https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/09/01/this-is-crazy-sobs-utah-hospital-nurse-as-cop-roughs-her-up-arrests-her-for-doing-her-job/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 @FrostyWinnipeg you're right. Sorry! really interesting story though. I suppose the nurse could have made her objection clear and then stood aside knowing the victim would have the evidence thrown out if there was any. But she was doing her duty.
