Received a call today and they are moving forward with me, the next step is an interview with the full committee and (I think) meeting people from Presbytery. Very thankful for the follow up, I knew it would be early this week but last week definitely moved by very slowly lol

@sassiterian Still counts!

@APompliano You mean the *now more expensive* American products?

@megbasham @danielsilliman If you are in a country and fearful of violence which the government will not make efforts to stop, you have rightful claim to asylum. I don't know this guy's story but fleeing from gangs could be a legitimate asylum claim.

@bri19494 @AngAesthetics "A case-by-case basis" dude the processing times are already so long for people waiting for USCIS (legal and illegal), and Trump isn't helping those processing times.

@bonhoefferchild @BlackCalvinist @RScottClark @drantbradley Youre deliberately misinterpreting what I said. Obviously not all threats of violence justify a violent response, but some do. For example, a man who’s yelling threats and physically intimidating people. The law agrees, the court agrees, and apparently many of the witnesses agree

@bonhoefferchild @BlackCalvinist @RScottClark @drantbradley You’re not engaging with anything I said. You’re not a good faith dialoguer.

@bonhoefferchild @BlackCalvinist @RScottClark @drantbradley I didn’t say that. I said you can respond to threats of violence with violence. This obviously isn’t a universal moral statement. If you can’t see the difference between your situation one then I seriously doubt your ability to make sound moral judgments.

@bonhoefferchild @BlackCalvinist @RScottClark @drantbradley What are you talking about?

@BlackCalvinist @bonhoefferchild @RScottClark @drantbradley Now do verbal threats with acts of physical intimidation.

@BlackCalvinist @bonhoefferchild @RScottClark @drantbradley That’s not what these courts do lol They rule “guilty” or “not guilty.”

@BlackCalvinist @bonhoefferchild @RScottClark @drantbradley You can make moral arguments against it, but as a matter of law you can respond to threats of violence with violence.

@bonhoefferchild @RScottClark @BlackCalvinist @drantbradley That’s ruling in someone’s favor. 🤦

@bonhoefferchild @RScottClark @BlackCalvinist @drantbradley I’m asking a sincere question.

@bonhoefferchild @RScottClark @BlackCalvinist @drantbradley Would say that verbal threats are not sufficient for self defense?
