  • Yeah it honestly sounds vague and broad enough to be some kind of legal paradox

    any person has the right to defend the life of themselves or another, even by use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person.

    So if I’m in public and witness John attempting to kill Jane, I now have the legal right to kill John to defend Jane’s life… but attempting to do so means John now has the legal right to kill me to defend his own life? And let’s say Jane has Stockholm Syndrome and is defensive of John, she would also have the right to kill me? Which would then mean John has the right to kill Jane to defend me?



  • So how does this work, a CEO or whatever first casts his own vote, and then asks the poll worker for a second ballot to vote on his business’s behalf?

    And someone who manages 100 properties under separate entity names gets to vote 101 times? Or manages a company with 99 sub-entities/branches?

    Judge rejected an ACLU challenge to a charter permitting voting in local elections by the entities that own most of the property in the Town of Fenwick Island

    The group said entities make up about 12% of registered voters in the town

    Wtf??

    Several other towns in Delaware allow companies and other legal entities to vote in local elections if they own property in the municipality.



  • This is actually a decent metaphor. From what I remember, Umbridge never officially joined the Death-Eater party, and even initially opposed Voldemort’s coup at the Ministry of Magic as she saw their methods as uncivil and threatening to her political position, yet ultimately agreed with pure-wizard-supremacist ideology and gladly served as a ruthless bureaucrat in the fascist puppet regime when their takeover was inevitable, all while attempting to appear solemn at Dumbledore’s funeral and curating her public image as a kitten-loving woman merely concerned with order and uprightness. Uh I mean Harry Potter is corny libshit
