  2. yahoo.com Allen Flanigan withdraws from NBA draft consideration, announces transfer destination Taylor Jones ~2 minutes OXFORD — Auburn transfer guard Allen Flanigan committed to keep it in the family on Tuesday. Flanigan announced his intent to transfer to Ole Miss basketball, where he'll play for his father, Wes, who is an assistant on Chris Beard's staff. "This is a family-based decision," Flanigan wrote on Instagram. The 6-foot-6 Flanigan will give the Rebels a much-needed injection of scoring ability. In four seasons at Auburn, he averaged double figures twice. Starting 19 games for Auburn last season, Flanigan posted 10.1 points per game, shooting 44.2% from the floor and 33.3% from 3-point range. He also averaged 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Flanigan also provides more size and length for Beard to work with. Those are vital components for a coach that looks to build his programs on defense first. He's the fifth transfer addition of the offseason for Ole Miss, joining Moussa Cisse, Jamarion Sharp, Austin Nunez and Brandon Murray. That class ranks No. 7 nationally, according to 247Sports.
  3. i told you it was against the law...............that is my point.
  4. cat got your tongue? it is almost as bad as lying to post stuff not true and then not acknowledge you screwed up which you are too prideful to do. the left will mostly admit when they are wrong but you guys? nope. damn near non existant............
  5. you said threats are free speech right? it is also against the law. so wee shall disagree. hate speech to me might as well be disinformation because the kind of lies hate speech spreads does in fact get people hurt.
  6. i agree with most of that. i am not so sure god is judgemental and all that. you know the christians thought their god was too sweet when compared to odin and all those other badass gods so they decided to throw a little toughness in there. i think god gave of something beautiful and the tools to work with and left us to our own. if i burn for it so be it. but i will not compromise the truths in my heart so if i burn i burn. but hey! i also do not believe in hell either with it's giant red spiders devouring non believers.

  10. read it and weep mr mims................ Criminal Threats: Laws and Penalties Rebecca Pirius, Attorney 5–7 minutes Making criminal threats comes with serious consequences, even if you didn't plan to carry out the threat. A criminal threat occurs when someone threatens to kill or physically harm someone else. In some states, this crime might be referred to as terroristic threats, threats of violence, malicious harassment, menacing, or another term. What Is a Criminal Threat? A criminal threat involves one person threatening someone else with physical harm or death. To be convicted, the prosecution must prove: the defendant communicated a threat of harm to another the defendant intended that the communication be taken as a threat, and the threat was credible and specific so as to place a person in fear of harm. Communicating a Threat of Harm A person can communicate a threat in almost any form—written, verbal, electronically, or through a third person. In some instances, a defendant's non-verbal body language, gestures, or actions have been enough to communicate a threat. Intent to Threaten Harm Criminal threats are made with the intent of placing someone in fear of injury or death. It doesn't matter if the defendant intends to carry out the threat. Also, many states don't require proof that a victim actually experienced fear or terror. Rather, it's the intent of the person making the threat to place another in fear that typically matters. Specificity and Credibility of Threats The threat must be capable of placing someone in fear of harm and lead them to conclude that the threat is credible, real, and imminent. If you threaten to blow up the world if you don't get the last chocolate babka, no reasonable person hearing it would believe the threat was real. On the other hand, if you walk into a store with a gun and threaten to shoot everyone, such a threat is credible and specific. Are Death or Bomb Threats Illegal? Yes. In many states, death threats fall under the criminal threats described above. Some states penalize making threats of serious harm or death harsher than other threats. A person can also commit a crime by threatening to blow up a building. In most states, communicating a threat to detonate a bomb or explosive at a named place or location, whether it's true or not, is illegal. In such cases, the defendant recklessly causes terror and fear in others. These types of actions can result in felony penalties. The law may impose even harsher penalties if the threat results in an evacuation, emergency response, bodily harm to someone, or a serious public inconvenience (like shutting down a subway line). What Are the Penalties for Criminal Threats? State and federal laws vary considerably when it comes to penalties for criminal threats, ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. Some laws impose harsher penalties when the defendant: carries out the threat while armed with a deadly weapon or makes the victim believe the same is true makes repeated threats or stalks the victim makes a threat of retaliation against a judge, officer, juror, lawyer, or other public safety or court official threatens someone based on hate, bias, or prejudice, or communicates threats that cause an evacuation of a school, government building, public transportation vehicle or hub, or place of assembly. State Penalties for Criminal Threats Here are some examples of state penalties for criminal threats. California makes it a wobbler offense to engage in criminal threats. A person faces up to a year in jail or time in prison. (Cal. Penal Code § 422.) In Colorado, threats or menacing without a weapon carries class 1 misdemeanor penalties, but implying or having a weapon increases the penalty to a class 5 felony. (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-3-206.) Ohio makes it a fourth-degree misdemeanor to threaten physical harm and a first-degree misdemeanor to threaten serious physical harm (Ohio Code §§ 2903.21, .22.) Virginia makes it a Class 6 felony to threaten death or serious bodily injury. (Va. Code § 18.2-60.) Federal Penalties for Criminal Threats Individuals who communicate a threat to injure another can face federal felony charges if they use a form of interstate commerce, such as email, mail, phone calls, texts, or online messaging, to send the threat. This federal offense carries up to 5 years in federal prison. (18 U.S.C. § 875.) Sending such threats repeatedly can lead to federal criminal stalking charges and up to 10 years in prison. (18 U.S.C. §§ 2261, 2261A.) Depending on the circumstances of the threats or the intended recipient, other federal penalties may apply. Possible Defenses for Criminal Threats Defendants might be able to argue that they had no intent to communicate a true threat, rather it was just a joke or a matter of blowing off steam. In some cases, a defendant could argue the words were protected as free speech, such as a form of political exaggeration or art. Your lawyer might be able to argue that the underlying criminal statute is unconstitutional because it's vague or overbroad. Speak to a Lawyer Being charged with making a criminal threat is a serious matter. Speak to a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. An attorney can help you navigate the criminal justice process, protect your rights, and understand the immediate and long-term consequences of a conviction.
  11. again what news are you getting this from chum? let me clue you in on something....... Target Bomb Threat From LGBTQ+ Ally Angry Over Pride Moves Deemed Hoax TMZ Staff 4–5 minutes Target Pride Controversy Bomb Threat from Angry LGBTQ+ Ally ... Deemed a Hoax 5/27/2023 10:48 AM PT Reports of bomb threats made to several Target stores over three different states have now been classified as a hoax -- and it seems someone was trying to plant a false flag. Target locations in Utah, Ohio and Pennsylvania -- spanning the greater Cleveland, Salt Lake City and Pittsburgh areas -- reportedly received correspondence Friday threatening to blow up several sites ... and all the emails sent referenced the Pride Month display controversy. At first, it seemed the threats were coming from folks boycotting Target for supporting Pride Month -- but, Cleveland 19 News published a screenshot of the email in question, and it actually appeared to come from an LGBTQ+ ally angry about Target's decision to back down. The note -- which was sent by someone named Alsan Akhmedov -- reads in part, "Target is full of cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to the homophobic right wing redneck bigots who protested and vandalized their store." It continues, "We won't stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down. We are sending you a message, we placed a bomb in the following targets." Four Targets in OH and one in PA were referenced ... the Utah stores were not mentioned in this specific message. All of those stores -- plus some in Utah, which also received bomb threats -- were evacuated ... but after preliminary investigations, cops are now saying this whole thing is fake. Some law enforcement agencies have reportedly said the email looks to have originated from overseas, and that there was no credible threat upon inspection at the Targets mentioned. Cops in Utah -- where the stores also appear to have been sent a similar email -- said the same thing ... calling the bomb threats "bogus." In other words, disinformation. As you know, Target has opted to yank some of its Pride merch amid the ongoing backlash.
  12. here is intolerance dude................. Target is being held hostage by an anti-LGBTQ campaign New York CNN — During every Pride Month in June for the past decade, Target has sold merchandise for LGBTQ customers, employees and allies. But this year, Target faced an anti-LGBTQ campaign that went viral on social media. Fueled by far-right personalities and on social media platforms, the anti-trans campaign spread misleading information about the company’s Pride Month products and its business practices. Hurting brands’ sales and reputations was the stated goal of the campaign: “The goal is to make ‘pride’ toxic for brands,” said right-wing commentator Matt Walsh on Twitter. “If they decide to shove this garbage in our face, they should know that they’ll pay a price. It won’t be worth whatever they think they’ll gain.” The campaign became hostile, with threats levied against Target employees and instances of damaged products and displays in stores. Bud Light wanted to market to all. Instead, it's alienating everyone That effectively held Target hostage: The company was forced to make an impossible choice to either safeguard its employees and stores or continue to support customers who wanted to buy the products it was selling. In the end, Target opted to protect employee safety by removing certain items that it said caused the most “volatile” reaction from opponents. But Target’s response angered LGBTQ advocates and led to criticism that it was caving to extreme elements of American society. “Target should put the products back on the shelves and ensure their Pride displays are visible on the floors, not pushed into the proverbial closet. That’s what the bullies want,” said Kelley Robinson, the president of the Human Rights Campaign, a civil rights group. “Target must be better.” Like Bud Light before it, Target ended up alienating just about everyone in the process with its response. Meeting demand Target became the focus of the anti-LGBTQ campaign’s ire for its Pride Month merchandise, but the campaign misrepresented Target’s ambitions. Target, one of the largest retailers in the country, was selling Pride-themed merchandise to customers who wanted to buy them. It’s capitalism and ultimately a business decision in the interest of enriching Target’s shareholders. Yoram Wind, a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, said Target was trying to reach a growing LGBTQ market of customers and employees. Around 7% of Americans identified as LGBTQ in 2021, according to Gallup, up from 3.5% in 2012. “It’s helping us drive sales, it’s building greater engagement with both our teams and our guests, and those are just the right things for our business today,” Target CEO Brian Cornell told Fortune last month of the company’s diversity and inclusion initiatives. The campaign made other false claims, including that Target was marketing one product for transgender adults to children. Target sold a women’s swimsuit that was described as “tuck friendly” for its ability to conceal male genitalia. The bathing suit was available for adults only, according to screenshots of the items taken when they were available online. Anheuser-Busch loses top LGBTQ+ rating over its Bud Light response Opponents also highlighted Target’s products made by trans designer Erik Carnell, who has designed merchandise with images of horned skulls and symbols of Satan. Target did not sell any of these products. For Target, the UK designer said on Instagram he created a bag, tote and sweatshirt for adults with messages such as “We Belong Everywhere,” “Too Queer for Here,” and “Cure Transphobia.” Misinformation spread that his Target collection was for children. Those products were just a handful of the approximately 2,000 in Target’s Pride Month collection, such as shirts, coffee mugs and stationary. Target on Wednesday said in a statement it was removing “items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.” The company said it experienced threats that impacted employees’ sense of safety and well-being. The company told the Wall Street Journal that people have confronted workers in stores, knocked down Pride merchandise displays and put threatening posts on social media with video from inside stores. “Our focus now is on moving forward with our continuing commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community and standing with them as we celebrate Pride Month and throughout the year,” Target said in its statement. But Target’s response has frustrated supporters of gay and transgender rights, who argued the company caved to bigoted pressure. “CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Tuesday. Sarah Kate Ellis, the president of advocacy group GLAAD, said that corporate leaders must step up for their LGBTQ employees and consumers and “not cave to fringe activists calling for censorship.” Pressure on brands More brands are being caught in cultural issues in part because of social media. “It’s always been best practice in my view for brands to stay away from super controversial issues that are not directly related to their business,” said Tim Calkins, a marketing professor at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. “The problem is that today there are many issues that are controversial.” The campaign against Target comes amid a record number of anti-LBGT bills introduced in statehouses this year and escalating political attacks on transgender people by leading Republican candidates for president. Companies such as Bud Light and Nike have also been targeted over promotional campaigns featuring transgender people. Disney has also been caught in a protracted fight with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stemming from legislation he signed that prohibits teachers from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity in class, known by critics as “Don’t Say Gay.” And the Los Angeles Dodgers this week also reversed course and extended a new invitation to a drag group after earlier disinviting them from the team’s upcoming Pride Night at Dodger Stadium. Although Target was acting to protect employees, some corporate marketing experts say the company’s response could embolden gay and transgender rights opponents to target other brands. They questioned why Target couldn’t attempt other solutions, such as beefing up store security or trying to educate customers and employees, before pulling the products altogether. “It does seem like you’re caving into a bully,” said Paul Argenti, a professor of corporate communication at Dartmouth University’s Tuck School of Business. “It sets a dangerous precedent.” the trans folks might or might not be doing ot but you guys have never slowed down. i mean not a little. how mant more you want

  14. mediamatters.org Accused child molester Ted Nugent spoke at the NRA Women's Leadership Forum ~2 minutes National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent was allowed to address the Women’s Leadership Forum at this year’s NRA annual meeting in Dallas, TX, despite his history of misogyny and reports that he engaged in sexual misconduct involving minors. In a May 5 Facebook post, Nugent shared this picture of himself speaking at the Women’s Leadership Forum, writing, “A grand American freedom celebration was had by all at the mighty NRA party in Dallas”: Nugent has a long record of making profane attacks against women, including telling a CBS News producer that he would “****” her in a lewd off-camera remark, claiming “fat chicks” will kill you, defining the term feminist as “some fat pig who doesn’t get it often enough,” calling former Attorney General Janet Reno a “dirty whore,” and referring to Hillary Clinton as both a “worthless bitch” and a “toxic ****.” Back in the 1970s, a 30-year-old Nugent became the legal guardian of a 17-year-old girl with whom he had a romantic relationship. The woman later said, “It just really wasn’t a terribly appropriate situation in most people’s eyes. And now, it would be criminal.” In 2004, singer Courtney Love said that she performed oral sex on Nugent when she was 12 years old. According to Mediaite, “Nugent apparently declined to comment” about Love’s statement when she made it. The Women’s Leadership Forum was held on May 4 and billed as an event for “philanthropic women united with the mission of infusing new enthusiasm, new excitement, new leaders and new opportunities into the fight for Second Amendment freedoms.” This year’s forum featured professional sexist Tucker Carlson as its keynote speaker.
  15. Auburn football top ten in blue-chip ratio for 2024 recruiting class Lance Dawe ~2 minutes The Tigers are recruiting strongly again. The Tigers are recruiting strongly again. Auburn football's 2024 recruiting class has garnered attention with their impressive fifth-best blue chip ratio in the country. The blue chip ratio is a metric used to measure a team's recruiting success by comparing the number of highly regarded recruits to the total number of recruits in a given class. In this case, Auburn has secured a significant portion of top-tier talent. Per On3, the 80% of the Tigers commits are blue-chip, which isn't difficult to calculate given the fact that the class is only five players large right now. The class features several notable recruits, including four-star players such as Walker White, J'Marion Brunette, A'Mon Lane, Jayden Lewis, and three-star tight end Martavious Collins. Auburn's class is ranked No. 32 nationally right now. The high blue chip ratio for Auburn indicates that the program is heading back in the right direction under new head coach Hugh Freeze. The Tigers struggled to pull themselves out of the basement of the SEC for a few seasons when it came to recruiting, and if they can kick things off with a strong 2024 class, the future will be looking extremely bright.
