Ever since I visited Dr. Robert Hare in Vancouver, I can see them, the psychopaths. It's pretty easy, once you know how to look. I'm watching a documentary about an American prison trying to rehabilitate teen murderers. They're using an emotionally intense kind of group therapy, and I can see, as plain as day, that one of the inmates is a psychopath. He tries, but he can't muster a convincing breakdown, can't fake any feeling for his dead victims. He's learned the words, as Bob Hare would put it, but not the music.
The incredible thing, the reason I'm yelling, is that no one in this documentary -- the therapists, the warden, the omniscient narrator -- seems to know the word "psychopath." It is never uttered, yet it changes everything. A psychopath can never be made to feel the horror of murder. Weeks of intense therapy, which are producing real breakthroughs in the other youths, will probably make a psychopath more likely to reoffend. Psychopaths are not like the rest of us, and everyone who studies them agrees they should not be treated as if they were.
Just in time for the Fourth of July, animal rescue workers came to the aid of the national bird — a wounded bald eagle — on the streets of Washington, D.C. on Saturday.All the way back in 1782 the bald eagle was chosen to be the symbol of our nation. I have even incorporated it into my campaign logo. Other than the American flag, there is probably no other symbol that is more associated with our nation. And it was chosen as our national bird for very specific reasons...
The eagle was unable to fly, seemed lethargic and had labored breathing, the Humane Rescue Alliance posted to Facebook. The cause of the eagle's injury is unclear.
Matt Williams is with the group and wrote NPR in an email that the bird's condition appears to be stable and its prognosis "guarded," meaning it may recover but with lasting complications.
"I'm almost beginning to think that it's time to abolish governments and just let the world be run by large cities," Livingstone told RT on the sidelines of the Moscow Urban Forum, which provides a platform for international discussion on the development challenges of global megacities.
Senate Bill 54 (SB 54), or the 'California Values Act,' intends to prevent California police from helping the "Trump Deportation Machine," said California State Senate leader Kevin de Leon, who introduced the measure.The proposed legislation received support from the Los Angeles Police Department, which says it needs the immigrant community's trust to effectively investigate crimes, by ensuring witnesses and victims will not be arrested and deported just for cooperating with law enforcement.
"Under constitutional threats from the reckless Trump administration, SB 54 protects state and local law enforcement and resources necessary to keep our communities safe," De Leon said. "ICE is out to arrest and deport honest, hard-working parents who obey the laws and pay their taxes and owe allegiance to the red, white and blue."
