Letter: The Utah Legislature bears responsibility for the death of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo

By Dana Carroll

The situation:

Ten thousand people assemble for a peaceful demonstration.

One person brings an AR-15-style assault rifle to the rally.

Two other people bring loaded handguns for the purpose of ensuring peace.

What could go wrong?

The incident:

The first man brandishes his rifle in a manner that the peacekeepers see as threatening.

One peacekeeper pulls out his gun and fires in the direction of the rifleman.

A bystander is hit and killed.

The law:

Utah law explicitly permits all of the above actions.

Anyone aged 21 or older is allowed to carry a firearm — open or concealed, loaded or unloaded — as long as they own the weapon legally. No gun training is required.

The state stand-your-ground law permits discharging a firearm in a situation in which a person believes their life or the lives of others are in imminent danger.

The outcome:

The district attorney is having a very difficult time assigning blame, since no law was broken.

The Utah Legislature bears responsibility for the death of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo.

The message:

Gun laws in Utah must change.

i hate troubleshooting ssh problems. i last tweaked my environment in 1996 by copying our then security lead's `.profile`. i tried to figure out the logic then and several times since then. what i know is that my configuration works EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. and in any situation.

i never run into the problems the engineers i work with run into so i have no experience in what they are going through. it's an eternal "works for me!" 🤷

@AssociatedPress @politics-AssociatedPress come to laugh at them as they are kicked out the door?

i had a dream last night that linux read files by "x-raying" them. when the file was read the name of the file lit up like like a bug in a electric zapper, except for yellow instead of blue. writing a file had a similar effect but it was more of a filling a small, clear-ish pocket with charged particles.

this would be a fun little terminal extension to create but alas i am not the one to create this.

woot.

@bremner @secretasianman was it even a contest?

@indivisibleteam that look when you realize your soul has left your body.

a common pattern for me:

```
local% ssh remote
remote% sudo patch && sudo reboot
local% while ! !!;do done

ran across this article about june lockhart turning 100. my dad was an artist and many hollywood types bought his art. june lockhart showed up at our house with a small entourage that included penny marshall. i knew lockhart from lassie but i was really excited that laverne was in our house!

@MissInformation the goo at the bottom was previously the guy that thought it'd be a good idea to climb the ladder

@tarheel @irene @fredy sugar is a relative new-comer, especially to europe (1319 was first shipment of sugar to england). it's also processed. i was thinking more along the lines of indigenous foods.

@fredy i often wonder how tomatoes became so deep rooted (no pun intended) in italian cuisine. and, just as mysterious, how did apples NOT become a fixture in chinese and/or asian cuisine? think of it, asia had apples, grains, spices and NO apple pie or popovers... its mind boggling to me.

@georgetakei shrub was there by himself because thats what cheney told him to do.

@NWSL Hmmm... weird that #NWSL didn't think a boot to the head in the box wasn't noteworthy.
