@”@Local Yocal” Well, the first question is why the municipalities across the country needed to use the police to violently overthrow the Occupy encampments in the first place. I’ll let others explain that, for I have no answer. So upon receiving the request from Chancellor Katehi to…

If searing pain seems reasonable to you to handle a trespassing, then I guess that’s how we want to be policed.   Well, I think as stated in the OP, how such weapons are used is important. For me, (and sidebar on the disagreement of trespassing vs.…

@”@LocalYocal”: “If the trespasser could be dragged or carried out easily…But when they actively prevent that option by holding onto something…. Pepper Spray seems a reasonable choice.” If searing pain seems reasonable to you to handle a trespassing, then I guess that’s how we want to be…

My only problem with the above comment is that your home is not a public place. But that’s nitpicking your example. I understand from the remainder of your comment the semi-validity of both sides, but make no mistake - I am 100% with the peaceful occupiers.

As someone who supports the Occupy movements, it is very tempting to indulge in the symbolism of this incident. By all means, if this can be a rallying cry for further activism, it should be used. But if we are going to look at this on a…

What a load of apologetic shit. While Holy’s conclusion is correct, Lt. Pike’s behavior was inappropriate, the use of force scale and Holy’s interpretation of the student’s actions of “interlocking arms” as an “active resistor” misses the point about what pepper spray is. Pepper spray is a…

FACT: Silverfish feed only on carbohydrates, such as starches and sugars.  They will not consume proteins or fats (the main materials from which human beings are constructed). THUS: That was not actually a human waiter we were conversing with, but rather a lifelike simulacrum created from semi-digested Fruit Loops.

Now you will be able to munch on pizza and shrimp cocktails in downtown Urbana (whilst a DJ spins?) after your dissolution of marriage http://www.news-gazette.com/news/business/features/its-your-business/2012-02-05/its-your-business-new-pizza-place-downtown-urban     Is this a franchise of a Reno pizza joint, or just a coincidence of name? http://www.blackrockpizza.com

Signs someone is “fishing” for a factual anchor: 1. Starts call to radio with: “I’ve been an Illini fan for (XX) years” or “I’m a diehard fan,” as if somehow that unverifiable claim will justify the 5 minutes of B.S. that follows. 2. Makes reference to KenPom…

Love CSR.  Apart from making my way through the regular roasts in 1/2 pound increments, I also like to pick up some of the little sample packets of the flavored stuff for when the lady and I feel like getting crazy.  Sticky Bun is pretty nice.

HUUUUUUGE fan of their Black Velvet roast…It makes up about 75% of my coffee intake. LOL CSR is definitely one of those Champaign institutions that I brag about to people not from here. :-)

We like CSR too! We french press at home and I leave the lid off while it steeps—letting the ground beans bloom. Then, like in your tasting, I scoop off the top layer before pressing. We really need to invest in a burr grinder though, as I…
