Mindset bigging up josh, Hardin & farms is unreal.
Legal mindset is thoroughly impressed by "Josh's lawyer" as are a lot of us kiwis.
Wait a minute, has anyone seen Josh and his attorney in the same room?
<SNIP>
He seems genuinely impressed that people are doing what they said they'd do lol
How screwed are we where people doing what they say is not just unexpected, but surprising?

Until then the only empathy I feel is for the kids themselves. They've been dealt a shitty hand in this.
I have seen CPS traditionally do more harm than good. BUT in this case they waited until they actually had facts
AND placed them with family that will actually love them.
Horrible and traumatic initially. But I'm betting that once they get used to routinely being fed, cleaned and taken care of; they will resent their parents. They'll come to hate them if/when they end up back in that household and that normal standard of care ceases again.
The lesser of evils here is for those kids to stay with close relatives until and unless Nick and Kayla grow a soul.
<SNIP> Nick and Kayla were lucky to get out on Friday otherwise they would have been stuck until Tuesday.
Now I'm speculating if they actually did Nick a solid by making the arrest in the early morning on Thursday, ensuring a good chance of their not having to stay four four days.
I might be biased but I like this more than the one that
@elb posted earlier tonight.
Nick's Double Life
AI music? This one actually sounded good though I heard a "mechanical artifact in the voice". But pretty good.
<SNIP>
I can only hope he represents Nick in his case, come on Robert, put your money where your mouth is and do that fourth amendment challenge, be Nick's liaison! be a showman! be bombastic! be a spastic! be a conman! send another idiot to enjoy prison!
Barnes isn't smart enough to differentiate between his anarchistic ideal and the actual black letter and case law as applied.
He claims to be a constitutionalist but then spergs out to esoteric arguments and fanciful constructs undermining the very reason we have a constitution. A government is necessary, here are it's limits. He seems to argue no government is legitimate and wears the very document that sets out one.

I don't imagine it would be as simple as having their video editing guys drop what they're doing and switch to this. They would probably have to build their capability to produce this, all from scratch.
It can't just be a "video guy" either. It has to be someone with the FOIA training and a CJIS clearance. Probably at least a CJIS 3 unless they have direct access to the data system, then it's a CJIS 4.
Their open records coordinator may well be a CJIS 2 and can access the call center application and CAD records. They may well have to outsource this.
The initial response to a request has to be within 10 working days. If it's simple that response might be the record (Like a redacted call sheet) or a notice that "X" needs review by legal, the estimated time of completion, standard extensions or pending AG opinion.
Can the church Nick and his wife go to ban them from the church or excommunicate them or something. <SNIP>
"Excommunication" is the forbidding of a congregant's taking of communion. And a process initiated by the Catholic church. It's practiced by the Catholic "light" denominations too in some cases.
Biblically, there is an example of what is called "disfellowship" (modern vernacular) in the protestant/evangelical churches. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul called them out for allowing a man who slept with his son's wife to continue in fellowship. His command was to put them out, lest they corrupt the whole congregation.
Matthew 18 is Christ dealing with one who sins against another. The person sinned against first goes to that person. If they do not repent, go before two or more witnesses, if that fails, go before the congregation. If they don't listen to the church, put them away.
I believe their preacher followed Matthew 18, while believing they could have sent them away but didn't because of the kids. When he became aware of
crimes against the children, he had no choice. Nick and Kayla have certainly passed the threshold for "disfellowship" IMHO.
Isn't Nicks' Easter stream a great evidence he's a heretic?
Heresy is from the Greek
αἵρεσις which is literally "choice" or "thing chosen". In Titus it's applied to a divisive person espousing false doctrine. They are to be put out after warning (twice IIRC). So maybe.
A long time ago, he espoused something sounding an awful lot like gnosticism. He and I had a brief correspondence over it. The gnostics believed that the body and spirit were separate and that you could satisfy the physical as long as the spirit was faithful (I know that's oversimplified). One can see the obvious cliff that belief system is headed for and here we are, the Rekietas dashed on the rocks at the bottom..
I'm more worried about his blaspheming the Spirit. He's danced awfully close to the candle on his streaming. I fear he may well have actually crossed that line in a coke fueled disavowing of God's Spirit and works.
>Skippy got killed byyy…. Something
He killed his cats and his dog. Calling it.
Or we'll find their starved and desiccated corpse under a pile of filth like on "Hoarders".
