Speaking of people who need to hang...



"...A Pennsylvania tow truck business, TDI Towing, was busted for allegedly running a multi-million dollar "organized criminal enterprise that specialized in the theft of catalytic converters throughout the Delaware Valley region," according to the Bucks County District Attorney.

TDI would allegedly pay at least $10,000 every night to thieves who brought stolen catalytic converters to the tow yard. "On some nights, there would [be] 30 transactions with some thieves showing up more than once," the DA said in a release. "On several occasions, TDI Towing paid $1,000 for a single converter." 

The DA said that TDI paid on average $300 per unit. This went on for allegedly three years, with an average of 175 catalytic converters coming in every week. .."


"..still find it weird* that police and news folks ever put any stock into the theory of "homeless people are the ones stealing catalytic converters" given that the only way to fence them is via a corrupt scrap metal dealer forging the paperwork and laundering them in with legit platinum-containing scrap, which is only profitable if performed at a large and organized scale..."

"..Yuval Noah Harari:
"No matter what one thinks of Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the way populism corroded the Israeli state should serve as a warning to other democracies all over the world.".."

Arrest, trial, hanging. These perps are international travelers, they will slip up sooner or later.
It is sooner. Whether they like it or not.

Nope, I rather doubt anyone will go after the Israeli perps.  Maybe some Billionaire should fund a justice squad to hunt down people like that.

I have to agree with you. It is a huge theft problem here but they slip in and out without notice. They are not the homeless.

Israel was attacked. Not the other way around. Lean 180 degrees.

War crimes are war crimes no matter the circumstances.  And we are now aiding and abetting war crimes.

The one time that republicans actually have something on Biden, but they will not use it.

well if you can’t hang them you can always eliminate them.

I'm not sure that is Gaza with the hills behind it. Russia used these bombs in Syria.

The WP I saw was against unoccupied boats.

Both of our governments have done the same. That is reality. That is war.

And there are rules in war, and in occupation. Israel has flaunted both. Some people need to hang.

"..listening to these two interviews the difference you hear between the Israeli and the Palestinian is that the Israeli is absolutely shocked to have her home destroyed and the Palestinian is exhausted from decades of it. Both are living horrific tragedies right now but that distinction feels pretty important - she even says at some point “I’m used to hearing shelling in Gaza, but usually we are safe here on the Israeli side of the blockade” 😔 .."
