My mistake. He was convicted of armed burglary, not armed robbery.

PARRISH, Ala. — A stinking trainload of human waste from New York City is stranded in a tiny Alabama town, spreading a stench like a giant backed-up toilet — and the “poop train” is just the latest example of the South being used as a dumping ground for other states’ waste.

All kinds of waste have been dumped in Georgia, Alabama and other Southern states in recent years, including toxic coal ash from power plants around the nation. In South Carolina, a plan to store radioactive nuclear waste in a rural area prompted complaints that the state was being turned into a nuclear dump.

Alabama’s inexpensive land and permissive zoning laws and a federal ban on dumping New Yorkers’ excrement in the ocean got the poop train chugging, experts say.

Nelson Brooke of the environmental group Black Warrior Riverkeeper, describes Alabama as “kind of an open-door, rubber-stamp permitting place” for landfill operators.

“It’s easy for them to zip into a rural or poor community and set up shop and start making a ton of cash,” he said.

Alabama and other Southern states have a long history accepting waste from around the United States.

A former state attorney general once described a giant west Alabama landfill as “America’s Pay Toilet.” It was among the nation’s largest hazardous waste dumps when it opened in 1977. At its peak, the landfill took in nearly 800,000 tons of hazardous waste annually.

Thoroughly enjoyable read.


Gjge morons of Alabama who love jesus so much theyll keep voting in republicans who allow literally my personal **** to be dumped next to your kids little league field for a dollar


Praise jesus

Solid post right here.

No more room in Jersey?

Pretty fitting that Alabama is a literal wasteland

I am assuming that this is a joke, but it is actually correct. New Jersey landfills basically filled up in the 80s (they build houses on them now) and that is why NYC sends its **** to Alabama and Texas. Same for Staten Island ldo.

+ rollback environmental regulations to pre industrial revolution levels


hallelujah! god is good

You don't just get to hand-wave away the murder conviction because you, ClarkNasty, don't like the law. A jury of his peers convicted him of murder.

He was offered 25 years, which if he reformed would mean parole in his late 20s/early 30s most likely (not a practicing attorney in Alabama).

Not feeling any sympathy for him given his crimes and the offer that was on the table.

Well, a black man convicted by his peers in the South has never led to a shambolic outcome, you're right Benny.

Update: JURY OF YOUR PEERS convicted you of jaywalking, should have taken the 25 year deal, feeling zero sympathy

The Benjy's of the world are usually the first in line to point out how unfair the system is for white dudes who get rapey, btw.

He already signaled. He can go away now. He has horrible takes. Gjge.

Lol Jeff Flake now and forever letting this clown run NASA.

He held his ground for something like 15 seconds before caving. None of these people have even the tiniest shred of a spine.

I don’t understand the strategy of the Republicans deciding to make the Comey notes public.

Tho really there isn’t even anything new in them.

doesn't stop them from claiming that there's new things in them

Their base doesn't read

They can just leak then have state media FNC lie about everything with impunity

right comey leaked memos are top secret classified info leaked by comey the leaker. who is a very untrustworthy scumbag.

also the memos prove no collusion, trump not under investigation, and hilary is a criminal.

there was NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION

He’s a liar so you can’t believe anything he says and also even he said there is no collusion so there is no collusion because the liar said so.

Right?

SHADY tho

I was thinking of slimeball actually. from this:



theres also plenty of "Slippery" James Comey references.

I guess he must have trump unreal mad if hes gotten 3 insulting nicknames now.
