Normally I would agree with Ashley, but in the case of a minor there is also the category of…Read More statutory rape. The victim is too young to give consent although they may be a willing participant. Here it really is a legal distinction.

The incident is described in the first paragraph of the story, so I think it's smart to remove…Read More "forcibly" from the headline, regardless.

QUOTING URBAN DICTIONARY:
"NIMROD
Share on twitter Share on facebook Share on more
988 up,…Read More 372 down
1. A mighty hunter. Now chiefly used in this sense outside the United States.
2. A slow-witted person.
Nimrod was the Biblical founder of Babylon, also considered a mighty hunter. Contrary to the uneducated twits on here, Nimrod did NOT build the tower of Babel (at least the Bible does not claim this, only that the "men of Babylon" tried to build it), and the Bible does NOT claim he tried to kill God.
The Bible ONLY mentions that Nimrod was a son of Cush, the founder of Babylon, and a mighty hunter. Curiously enough, Dictionary.com attests definition 2 to have derived from a Looney Toons episode, wherein Bugs Bunny mocks his adversary, the hunter Elmer Fudd, calling him a "poor little Nimrod". Warner Brothers' Looney Toons cartoons were not written for children, but for literate adults, and often contained literary references children would not understand. Younger generations, mostly illiterate, and having little or no Bible knowledge not gleaned from their moronic parents and half-wit talk radio hosts, probably misunderstood the comment as being a general insult describing the slow-witted Fudd.
Probably from the phrase “poor little Nimrod,” used by the cartoon character Bugs Bunny to mock the hapless hunter Elmer Fudd.

I live near Portage Bay and Lake - the power started flickering late in the afternoon, but I didn't…Read More realize it was related to the fires. Thankfully, the outside temperature had just begun to drop when the power went out, so it was comfortable without the air conditioner.
A PG & E truck arrived at the intersection at about 10 PM, and power was restored about 20-minutes later. The worker then zoomed off into the Stonegate neighborhood.
Interestingly, the street lights came on at about their usual time during the outage...different system, I guess?

My daughter was performing a play at the Art Center that night . . . made the performance rather…Read More interesting since the lights were out from 6 until around 7:15 then came back then went out again fifteen minutes later, then back on ten minutes after that. Kids were all troopers under the extreme situation though, especially since it was pretty stuffy and they were all in costume.

Hate n crime?? F word slur is used by many people including myself at times.. That doesn't mean I…Read More dislike gay people. Its just a word. Okay if I am called a bitch, then that is a hate crime correct??
Sorry Mikey was injured in this manner but I know it wasn't a hate crime. Clay used a word that just so happened to fit the individules lifestyle.. Wow not too much is mentioned about the Gay person that was injured on campus by two men calling this person the F word.. perhaps when they catch these two people then they can raise the bail and ruin this young mans life forever..just as you people of davis are trying to do to Clay Garzon..
Cheryl Marshall Jonas June 3, 2013 at 02:38 am
mark gold.. i disagree with you sorry ... Clay used that f word as a slur its not a hate crime…Read More seriously .. guilty until proven innocent..??? wtf

This email they sent out to UC Davis was not at all helpful. Declaring that they will get to the…Read More bottom of this, while not providing any details on the incident, does not empower the UC Davis community. If they had included details, perhaps a few people would have read this and thought "hmm, I know someone with that physical description who owns a burgundy SUV." Instead, most are just as in the dark about the incident as they were before.

It's about hate crimes, racial crimes, mob violence, violence against

Was this on Sunday May 12th or Thursday May 16? (Article says Thursday May 12).

Sunday, May 12. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for pointing that out. I just cleaned it up.

That sucks! Do you think the fender bender and the theft may have been related (ie: coordinated)?

To Lori Prizmich,
I understand the theory but it definetely was not coordniated because the person I…Read More was in the fender bender was a teacher at my school.

Should've just sent them to jail. Anybody who's had to deal with their crap (a ton of UCD students…Read More including myself) know that they have no idea what they're talking about, and were huge pricks to fellow students. Seriously? You guys throw garbage at and spit at a poor girl just trying to get in the bank to cash her check? You guys are the lowest trash of humanity. The only solace I have is that considering how shitty you are as people, it'll only be a matter of time before you're either sent to jail or have the shit kicked out of you for being little self-absorbed narcissistic douchebags.
And to the girl with the shitty facial piercings and fedora who screamed assault when somebody tripped over YOUR foot: 1. Even the cop laughed and said you're being ridiculous. 2. Nobody cares that you're "taking graduate courses as an undergrad", so stop saying "I'm more intelligent than you". 3. Take a damn shower. You smell like cheap beer and egotism.
