  1. "Do you think Mr. Alba has a case"? Hey, Nate The Lawyer, you're the lawyer, you tell us. (Please)

  2. Rather than "Believe All Women", here is much better advice: Listen to all, women, men, children, but always be skeptical of any claims made, especially if they're made without evidence. This is also the case when the claims are made by politicians, even the ones YOU like. We as humans are much, much too willing to believe what we hear or see without any supporting evidence. Too many people in history have been hurt, or even sentenced to death or outright lynched based on nothing more than claims. We actually need to update our judiciary practice: It should no longer be possible to convict anybody of a felony without at least some kind of forensic evidence. Eye witness accounts have proven over and over to be unreliable.

  3. Important context regarding AMBER alerts: "To be labeled an AMBER Alert, there must be reasonable evidence that an abduction has occurred, the child must be believed to be in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death, there must be enough descriptive information about the victim and the abductor, the child must be under the age of 17, and the child’s information must be entered into the National Crime Information Center system (Guidelines for Issuing AMBER Alerts). If these guidelines are not met, an AMBER Alert cannot be issued, and the child is labeled as a runaway." So, not all disappearances justify the use of an AMBER alert, even if hundreds of thousands of children disappear every year. I have no data from the US, but in Europe, most child disappearances are either runaways, or a result of abductions by a divorced parent or other relative who doesn't agree that the child is living in the right place/family.
