TheReverend posted:Welp, lesson (re)learned the hard way. For what it's worth, in one of his 800 interviews complaining about Rico Verhoeven he made a point of condemning Rico's crew for calling Saki a "kankerturk" (Dutch swearing is a little odd, their equivalent of "gently caress" is "cancer") and said "even though I'm a nationalist I respect other races and cultures". On the other hand, he did just join a party trying to kickstart a Reagan style rehabilitation of the image of Vlad the loving Impaler.

Didn't they shoot him and his old wife after pretending to have a trial for thirty minutes?

Captain Log posted:Didn't they shoot him and his old wife after pretending to have a trial for thirty minutes? After being convicted of genocide and illegal accumulation of wealth in a brief kangaroo court held in his own home, he and his wife were executed on Christmas Day. The execution was broadcast on state television later that day — what little of it they were able to record anyway, the soldiers fired so quickly after the people who lead them to the execution room that the camera crew wasn't ready and only caught the last few of about 120 bullets fired into each. They had to draw a lottery for who got to be in the firing squad because hundreds volunteered. He was so widely hated because while his country waited in hours-long lines for a daily ration of bread and sugar and could only keep their electricity on for a few hours each night, he lived in the largest non-palace political residence in the world and wore expensive suits once before having them destroyed for fear that they would somehow be used to poison him otherwise. He also was extremely paranoid to the point that it's believed he had some level of electronic surveillance on literally every household in Romania. So even besides his political party stylizing themselves out of an ancient despot who eliminated poverty in his country by inviting Wallachia's poor and peasantry to his palace for a feast in order to round them up to be summarily executed, it goes without saying that Daniel Ghita is keeping very questionable company in his political ambitions. e: You can also still to this day buy a shitton of merchandise with Vlad's face on it throughout Romania, but I assume this is done because he's readily recognizable to tourists who come to visit the region and tour "Dracula's castle," which is a castle and dungeon in the hills that he maybe visited for a night one time. I don't have much of a peg on popular sentiment towards him among Romanians. Bluedeanie fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Nov 24, 2015 |

Thanks sir. I remembered the info and the name but my addled brain can't always recall if it's matching up the correct stuff. My history degree (why yes I'm in my thirties and have made a career in restaurants) means I can always go "yeeeeeah, I think I know what you're talking about" in most modern history situations.

4pm Eastern on ESPN 3: Main Card Main Event - Heavyweight Championship Rico Verhoeven VS Benjamin Adegbuyi Co-Main Event - Welterweight Championship Nieky Holzken VS Murthel Groenhart Featherweight Contender Tournament Mosab Amrani VS Lim Chi-Bin Shane Oblonsky VS Maykol Yurk SuperFight Series Mourad Bouzidi VS Danyo Ilunga Errol Zimmerman VS Thomas Vanneste Perviz Abdullayev VS Aziz Kallah Zinedine Hameur Lain VS Fred Sikking Karapet Karapetyan VS Yoann Kongolo Pretty sure the ESPN broadcast won't have the undercard so you don't get to see fat Errol unless you pay, which zero people on the planet will do. Main event is a dumbass rematch and Rico is going to win again.

The ref just blew it. Anways Amrani looks good but the whole coming out of the gate at 100% thing seems like it could hurt him. I really wanted Maykol Yurk to win because I'm a big fan of his name.

That was frustrating. Holzken waited for too long and didn't commit enough when he started fighting harder. He hit Murthel harder on the few combos he actually initiated but Murthel outlanded him with sloppy strikes like 2 to 1.
