  leaving $10m to each child, with plans to donate everything else

  The plans were to donate everything else to a tax-advantaged “charity” in which the Gates family retains complete financial control.

  This is not philanthropy. It is tax avoidance, greenwashing, and a public relations campaign.

  corner a pedo

  And since these are internet vigilante kids with no oversight, they will inevitably corner some non-pedos too.

  Put yourself in that situation- a couple teenagers with cameras approach you on the street and start accusing you of some of the sickest crimes imaginable. Even though the accusation is false, this has the potential to ruin your career, your relationships, your entire life.

  I’m not sure how anyone would respond, or should respond, but I can definitely see how people might resort to violence when falsely accused of this horrible shit on camera.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It’s like 1948’: Israel cleanses vast West Bank region of nearly all Palestinians⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks inhospitable because of the water apartheid.

  Israel and its settlers take the lions share of water resources, leaving Palestinians with barely enough to survive.

  Water is so scarce and precious that nearly every Palestinian home has a rooftop water tank. Water for aesthetic things like plants or lawns is a luxury.

  Parched: Israel’s policy of water deprivation in the West Bank

  Only 60%?

  The Israeli populace has to be the most delusional population currently on the planet.

  Yes he signed up to give his money away. To a charitable trust. Which he and his family controls. And can withdraw from at any time.

  It isnt a charity pledge, its a plan to avoid paying taxes.

  TN has a strong felony murder statute. You dont need to prove intent, you just need to prove they were perpetrating a related violent felony.

  I’m not a lawyer but in this case it seems like management have probably met the criteria for felony theft or kidnapping. Any properly motivated DA could then add a felony murder charge for each death.
