Oh, so they might not reveal it even if they are sentenced as adults to life. That's a good point. And also true that the public could figure it out anyway from people who know the families involved.

Great, it's terrible for the environment and fairly insane animal welfare-wise. So it's cool that we can just stop doing that. The business already doesn't make economic sense and has been heavily subsidized in various ways by the government for decades. I thought capitalists loved the theory of supply and demand?

Boomers/Old GenX still act like Millennial, a generation in their 30s and 40s, is a word for children or young adults.

Of course people who know these people personally already know who it is. Not releasing the names of minors accused of crimes is standard practice in the US, too. It happens when minors are tried as adults, though, meaning they get sentences that last beyond 18 years of age. I'm not super familiar with UK practices but I'd expect they will release the names for a crime this serious, and since apparently they're getting decades in prison it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, where I used to live up north, even very remote lakes were poisoned with mercury said to be from coal burning in China. People were advised to not eat fish from the lake more than a few times a week or once a week for certain fish. So... tons of people just ignore that or don't even know about it because they either don't really understand or believe it, have poor information sources, enjoy the experience, or it's all they can afford.

that’s… that’s illegal?

🤣

lol!

Thank god it isn’t people quoting posts and adding their amazing commentary such as…. “lol”

Someone who tried to ignore election results and incite a mob to overthrow the government? Yes.

The suit in Colorado was brought by 6 republicans.

I know a fair amount of girls from Minnesota and Oregon who would like that because they're into fishing themselves. They grew up fishing with their fathers.

It's more a "I'm a manly dude who is good at catching fish! I enjoy leisure time on lakes and I have a boat!" than a promise that they'll eat the fish. At least half the time it's catch and release fishing anyway.

It's Texas. If they want to do it they'll just make up some shit.

Technically all they can do is sign or veto bills, but the executive branch tends to work with the legislative on policy. It's why Presidents are credited/blamed for passing or not passing legislation during their terms.

What I read earlier says 'life' in prison and they're waiting to see about about parole or early release. From The Guardian

The judge, Mrs Justice Yip, said she would sentence the pair next month, and would decide whether to lift reporting restrictions so that the killers could be named. She told the teenagers that she would have to impose a life sentence but that she needed to adjourn for further reports to decide on the minimum tariff they must serve.
