Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during President Ronald Reagan’s term. (Stacey Wescott/Chicago Tribune)

How can you tell? Just curious as a Marine veteran. We used to do jumping jacks and pushups in the gas room until the last man couldn't take it anymore. Those were the days!

Edit: Oops nm, I found the source on this guy.

My experience exactly, from the last 3 companies ive worked for! And now there are no job advancement options internally because the openings have moved to India.

I pay extra for paramount+ ad free version and they still show me periodic ads. Its infuriating. And they are much louder than the show content, as a cherry on top. What an awful service.

Do you think a background check and red flag law would have changed the outcome in this case? What evidence is there that it would?

The number of times I have canceled plans last minute because of this embarrassment is too damn high!

The passenger car division is 78% owned by a Chinese company. I don't understand the "buy European" angle here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_Cars

I really doubt there was any ricochet after watching the video. There is no disturbance at all except strait to the neck.

This is all so thoughtful, thank you for sharing!

I was thrilled when I bought my first home just a few years back and they had a single page hand written note explaining a couple of minor issues, some unusual plumbing, and an apology for a small hole in the wall done by accident during move out day. It was a relief just for some insight, since I didn't really know what to do with a house and was a bit scatterbrained already.

This would be above and beyond expectations in the best way possible. Thanks for the reminder for me to get this started.
