This is all just legitimate news gathering
Surprise surprise
Before jumping down a rabbit hole with mouth a’roaring …
How is this different? I mean, they knocked (despite having a no-knock warrant), at an address associated (used by) a drug dealer with an arrest warrant. The address happened to be the primary address of someone else (who the media has mislabeled as a wunnerful, wunnerful public servant).
Where did I say it wasn’t?
Go back and read what I was responding to (I quoted it) and you may understand why I said it. If you disagree, you may have a different response, or at least one that addresses my comment as to how it relates to your comment.
Linda Lovelace has nothing to do with this. Please leave her out of it.

The police in the Breonna Taylor case had a search warrant. They had way more rights than a police officer looking for a wanted person at an associated address. They had the right to enter the premises and search for items that could lead to the arrest of the individuals in the residence.
You didn’t. But I assumed your response was in the same vein as Onenote who does not believe knocking on doors of associated addresses is legitimate news gathering. I’m glad to see that you agree that it is legitimate. I’m sorry for assuming incorrectly what you were saying.
She’s the one who opened her mouth in the first place!

Lorenz is garbage and she should have known this was going to happen and she has no right to complain. On that we agree. If any other reporter had done a similar story on LoTT, this probably wouldn’t have happened to them. But Lorenz has a reputation and this is par for the course considering her past.

Tomorrow’s news today, from the Babylon Bee
“It is a grave, grave sin to question or challenge the integrity of our sacred elections, and we must ban anyone who does so. We cannot allow people to erode trust in our holy democracy,” said YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. “That is, unless, Republicans win. Then we’ll know the elections were totally rigged and democracy is under attack.”
Platforms like Twitter and Facebook plan to reverse their policies against questioning election integrity sometime around November 8, 2022, after the Republican party wins almost every local, state, and federal election as they are projected to do.
“Sometime in November, we will actually start banning and demonetizing creators who don’t question election integrity,” said Wojcicki. “If you’re not blaming Democrat losses on Russian interference, fraud, or racism, you are an enemy of democracy and have no place on our platform.”

Good points from Glenn Reynolds
Twitter is the main vector by which this virus is spread. But as long as it’s destroying the left, is it really a good idea to stop it?

You’re absolutely right. They got that warrant because the target of the arrest warrant (who initially told police that she had shot at them) had used her address as his own, for a variety of things.
Knocking on neighbor’s doors, and relative’s doors is certainly a legitimate way to gather news, but one which I’d be surprised to see legitimate reporters use today. It’s hard work.
My biggest concern with publishing her address (particularly the correct one, if they did) is what unhinged activists, who may be too dense/lazy/high to figure it out themselves, would do with it.
This is almost as much fun as the Musk-Twitter saga. Newsom is jealous of DeSantis getting all the good publicity for taking on Disney and Florida still getting over 2000 Disney employees that are being moved there from California

Musk mixes it up with Bill Gates.
Gates was hitting up Musk for his “climate philanthropy” and Musk shot back asking whether he still had a short on Tesla, which Musk claimed does much for climate.
after that things degenerated LOL

Do you think Bill’s having high school flash backs? 
More from the “The Science is Settled” twits
“Ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis,” the company said in a statement outlining its new policy Friday… Twitter said it would provide more information in the coming months on how it plans to provide “reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations”
Maybe they’ll be as right in climate as they were on covid, but if not, they don’t want to hear it.

The scientists were right on Covid–just look at the difference between places that are careful and places that aren’t. The difference is huge. A million lie dead–worse than WWII.
Are you referring to masks? You saw this, right?
Or maybe China style lockdowns?
The Science said nature immunity, if you don’t die to get it, is better than vaccine based immunity too, something that was obvious to all scientists until two years ago when Fauci had to justify lockdowns and mandates, neither of which seemed to help a whole lot.
Yes, the vaccines do help a lot, especially for those at risk, and more recently the monoclonals and antiviral pills do also. Whether there might have been some generic treatments that would work similarly that we could have been using for the past two years to prevent some of those million dead, well, let’s not look too closely at unprofitable early treatment. There’s no money it for Pfizer, so what’s the point?

Mask mandates don’t mean much without enforcement. I’m saying look at the Democrat and Republican places–as time goes on the death toll has become wider and wider.
Until Omicron the China approach was better overall. However, they wanted to play in the big-boys league and did their own vaccine rather than get one of the good ones. And now they are helplessly flailing because their approach won’t stop Omicron and they can’t handle the logistics of it.
As for that Hong Kong death curve–fast, but compare it to the total for the US.
Republicans tend to be older, which is an exponential risk factor for covid. If you see a pattern here, in this age adjusted covid mortality by state, be my guest. Seems like it’s good to be an island, otherwise, hard to say.
You might well find a trend by racial makeup too, since covid is racist after all.
As for mandates, I’m not sure why you care so much about enforcement. The Democratic states had quite high compliance rates, while the Republican ones mostly didn’t have mandates anyway.

I’m saying to look at how cases have changed over time–it used to be pretty much equal opportunity, but over 2021 it grew redder and redder. You can’t explain that by age.
Do you have a link or some data I can look at?

I’m pretty sure it’s already been posted in this thread, but it’s over 800 posts, hunting for it is problematic.
