Adultery and fornication: Why are states rushing to get these outdated laws off the books?

  Adultery and fornication: Why are states rushing to get these outdated laws off the books? https://www.salon.com/2019/05/06/adultery-and-fornication-why-are-states-rushing-to-get-these-outdated-laws-off-the-books/ In true  Marie Kondo  fashion, a few states are starting to “tidy up” their criminal code by removing crimes from the statute books that no longer “spark joy.” More specifically, Utah, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Virginia have all proposed legislation to remove the crime of adultery and (where applicable) fornication from their statute books.

The Fall of Constantinople -The Final assault-29th of May 1453.

  The Final assault began after midnight, into the 29th of May 1453 . Wave after wave the attackers charged. Battle cries rang out, the sound of drums, trumpets and fifes, filled the air. The bells of the city churches began ringing frantically.  Orders, screams and the sound of trumpets shattered the night. First  came the irregulars, an unreliable, multinational crowd of Christians and Moslems, who were attracted by the opportunity of enriching themselves by looting the great city, the last capital of the Roman Empire. They attacked throughout the line of fortifications and they were massacred by the tough professionals, who were fighting under the orders of Giustiniani. The battle lasted two hours and the irregulars withdrew in disorder, leaving behind an unknown number of dead and wounded. Next  came the Anatolian troops of  Ishak Pasha .
