Riverjordan Member since: Mar 21, 2022 Threads: 23 Posts: 611 | Allison Mack, former TV Star who was a Co-lead for a Cult, branded people(OUCH, 😱🥶😬😳🧐)and a Sex Trafficking Ring faced up to 17 years behind bars, sentenced was reduced to 3 years, and she was let out in July 2023 after roughly 2 and a half years behind bars. People who were caught with drugs that were only for them to use have gotten longer sentences than Allison did. 🧐 I feel that Allison's relatively slap on the wrist was because the odds were in her favor. Youngish, pretty, famous, wealthy, white, and a Woman. Had some say 55 year old Black, plain, average looking, average black Woman done the same things Allison did, she most likely would have served thd full 17 years behind bars. 😐 Alec Baldwin's gun should have been CGI. Would have prevented the tragedy. Facts. |

In China, Xi directed authorities to open floodgates and dams, sacrificing whole villages to spare politically important cities from the article: "Visual evidence and firsthand accounts gathered by The Washington Post show that, while the effort diverted water away from Xiong’an and other urban areas, it directly contributed to the devastation of rural villages in Hebei, destroying homes and livelihoods. Satellite images reveal that authorities’ actions led to a dramatic increase of water across those areas, covering at least 95 square miles — almost 46,000 football fields. In one of the clearest examples, more than 20 square miles of farmland near Xiong’an’s high-speed railway station were still underwater on Aug. 5. It may never be known how many people died or were displaced as a result of these decisions, but at least 29 people in Hebei perished during the flooding. About 1.75 million people were relocated, including more than 900,000 from zones where houses were flooded. The economic damage totaled $13 billion in a province where rural incomes are less than a quarter of incomes in Beijing. dams were opened to push floodwaters east toward farmland and villages in the county of Bazhou — the “vegetable basket” of the region. They were soon submerged. Residents have made their anger as clear. Dozens of people gathered outside Bazhou government offices on Aug. 5 in a rare protest. They unfurled a long red banner with white writing that read: “Give back our homes. It was clearly water being discharged yet you still said it was the rain.” Others, unaware their villages could be intentionally flooded, said they weren’t given any advance warning. One 70-year-old resident and his 64-year-old wife living in Zhuozhou, in another flood zone, had no time to prepare when floodwaters reached the second floor of their house on Aug. 2. The couple escaped to the roof and waited six hours until a neighbor passing by in a fishing boat rescued them. “Even as the water was coming into our home, we didn’t hear a word. The government here isn’t doing anything,” said the resident, who spoke on the condition that his full name not be used out of concern for his security for criticizing authorities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/08/31/china-floods-beijing-rain/ . the foolish sayings of a rich man pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him |

I'll admit, Danny Masterson REALLY shocked me. He was so cool as the iconic Hyde from That 70's Show. Shame how far he has fallen. ☹️🫨 Alec Baldwin's gun should have been CGI. Would have prevented the tragedy. Facts. |
