"A pardon extended by the government to a group or class of persons, usually for a political offense; the act of a sovereign power officially forgiving certain classes of persons who are subject to trial but have not yet been convicted."

... nah mate, you're saying literally the exact same things, right down to the I Told You Sos and bringing up articles about drug dealers refugees doing whatever you claimed they were going to do at some point earlier. It's not just tone, the claims, the evidence... you're pulling a dead ringer, intentionally or not. And hell, the crow man rant was even picture perfect for stuff that people said about obama. There may be difference in the situation, but from your example there's not a difference in how people are reacting to it. Resemblance really is uncanny, heh.

... are you intentionally trying to channel the US conservative movement, LW, or is it just incidental? 'Cause I swear I hear the exact same word as you're saying come out of the mouths of people talking about mexicans and obama pretty regularly, to the point it's becoming vaguely unsettling. It's like watching Orson Scott Card talk about homosexuals, except british and talking about islam. Damnedest thing to watch, actually, now that I've noticed the incredibly uncanny resemblance. Please don't start writing about weird naked pre-salat wrestling.

Ok, and how are you going to make a working filter for this? If you started outside Uckland you can come in, but if you left from it you can't come back?

I'unno, the filter folks complaining seem to be wanting is "IfMuslim=Refuse." S'obviously not a working filter, but what can you do?

@Grak, I can only assume it's not so much that they can't, as they won't, since that would likely entail they'd have to start doing the same thing to their sanctioned paramilitary types that do basically (and in some cases literally, going back into the past) the same thing. States, ferex, would have to be kicking out a lot of (ex-)military and current/former security agency types if they were going to throw out everyone that's fought alongside or otherwise aided an islamic radical insurgency group. And europe's groups aren't exactly squeaky clean on that field, either, heh.

Yeah, there's going to be a good few more, I do believe. We've still got 'till february or so for the actual primary voting to start, and they don't stop until june. E: And the actual general election isn't until november. We've got over a year of this shit left.

... 'course, the thing is, PMMM could be stuck whole-cloth with no translation into a fair amount of mahou shoujo and not really stand out that much. About the only difference between it and a number of other played-straight magical girl shows is focus, not really content or construction. Everything about it, from the deaths, to the cosmology, to the various critters, could slot in to something like Sailor Moon with barely a blink.

Mostly due to the fact that a lot of magical girl shows are frank fridge horror waiting to be noticed, heh. SM's just one of the ur-examples, what with the whole planetary-scale genocides and universe destroying entropy beasts and whatnot. It'd be pretty easy to turn it into something that out madoka's madoka, as plenty of the fanfiction displays

For what it's worth, the article reporting on it has updated with information that no charges will be pressed and the case has been closed. It's not exactly worth much, but at least the cops and administration are not continuing to pursue the farce to an even greater degree.
