More of What Makes Americans Angry at Gov't

Eswin Mejia was charged with felony motor vehicle homicide and operating a vehicle while intoxicated on Feb. 3 and released after posting 10 percent of a $50,000 bond on Feb. 5. He has not been seen by law enforcement since his release.

Specifically, Mejia has not shown up for twice-daily Breathalyzer testing, a condition of his bond reduction, nor did he appear for his Feb. 26 preliminary hearing. A judge has since revoked his bail and issued a bench warrant.

Mejia was listed on his jail booking sheet as being from Honduras and not a U.S. citizen. Douglas County pretrial release officials graded him a low risk to flee despite the fact that he had a warrant and twice had failed to appear in court. Efforts by the Omaha Police Department to have Mejia detained by federal Immigration Customs Enforcement failed, which would have blocked his release upon posting bail.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine has criticized the case’s handling, saying, “There has to be a common-sense communication between the feds and the state.”

thanks and yeah , I agree . But the thing that annoys me most is that this stuff has been going on for the last 50 years or so under both repubs and dems . And then its the little things like Dual languages in employment , voting , customer service , jobs and this dual language even affects young American kids in public schools . There are many more example but the list is too long to type !!

I know sumbody in Nashville, she always angry, she irrational too...

The 11 Angriest Cities in America, Ranked by Irrationality
America is a beautiful place filled with kind and gentle people, and a welcoming spirit. But we’re not talking about that. What we’re talking about is anger.

But we also want to be clear about something: our evaluation of a city’s anger doesn’t come from the deep well of extremely serious issues every city struggles with. There are a lot of really important and valid reasons to be angry in many cities. But this isn’t a story about those. Instead we’re looking at the more irrational, often trivial anger-inducing behaviors that make up the DNA of a particular city’s inhabitants. Their general attitudes toward sports, traffic, tourism, food, other people from their city, why the fuck that guy on the street is looking at them like that, and so forth. So check the list below and let us know if anything we missed is making you mad:


11. Nashville

And it’s rising, fast. One thinks of Nashville as just a chill little quasi-Southern city where you can enjoy some hot chicken and get your country music on. But here’s the thing: Nashville’s increasing food & drink profile coupled with a fairly central location and a lively party scene has fueled its ascendance as THE hot bachelor/bachelorette party destination. How many Nashville bachelor(ette) parties have you been to in the last year? If you say less than two you have zero friends. A relatively mild climate means that party train is chugging most of the year, bringing hoards of bros and bro-ettes to ruin everything in sight every Thursday night through Sunday morning.

Fact: Journey covers in live music videos have risen 187% in the past two years, just because the band would rather get it out of the goddamn way rather than have Claire the maid of honor spitting lemon drops in their faces because they haven’t played it yet because “she’s REALLY marrying a boy born in raised in South Detroit”, even though South Detroit is not a thing.

On top of that, the show Nashville coupled with the spotlight The Voice puts on all of the music star wannabes desperately trying to gain a spot in Blake Shelton's country mafia by blackmailing their parents into moving here is really turning it from "The Athens of the South" into "Los Angeles, but specifically for country music and stuff." If you were a local, wouldn’t you be angry if you suddenly had to deal with all of these people? At least Marcus Mariota might be good? (Spoiler alert: he isn’t.)
