Captain: (Paraphrased and shortened from transcript) Lamia was the worst trained in US-Bangla, now in Biman Bangladesh talks ill of US- Bangla instructors including me. They said we f—ed in the cockpit. Lamia is not even worth approaching, she is ugly, fat with obnoxious appearance…what the f–k is she, the beauty queen of the world? My wife is far more beautiful, I don’t need Lamia. If I intend to buy sex, I can do that with 100 dollars. Because of the mother f—er Lamia, only Lamia, I decided to resign. She talks big, what she knows about flying … if this impression goes to my wife and imagine if you were my wife, if you learn that your husband is fooling with another girl, how would you feel?

First Officer: Oh no, oh my God.

Captain: That f—er, that son of a gun, bitch, she asked to fly 100 hours with me. With no intention that she has big boobs nor she would do sex with me. If I want to f–k her, I can f–k her in the hotel. And you know that your friend is f—ing too horny. She has a… she does sex with 6-7 guys I know. You note it, she is not a virgin … So, your friend Lamia is a prostitute.

First Officer: Sir, shouldn’t I switch on the radar?

Captain: That f—er Lamia, she made me… look at my f—ing eyes… weeping … crying… where did I do mistake (crying)? I take the blame and resigned. What is my next source of income? At least look at me f—er (crying and blowing nose) Do I need to cry like this?

So here's a weird one for you. Pyramids in Bosnia? Sounds pretty hokey. Turns out there's a darker side to why this claim has been so successful in spite of academic pushback since the beginning.

So what's the top true crime podcast right now? I'd like something that isn't stuffed with ads or merch talk and most importantly the host or hosts aren't utterly insufferable. Tall order, I know.

I listened to Criminal and a couple of others back in the day but they suffered from the issues I mentioned but it's been a couple of years since I had a listen to a new podcast.

I checked out Crime Junkie and it seemed alright initially but the hosts sound super fake and things like the mention of something horrible met with a response like "O-M-G, full body chills! *giggle*" made me quit it. That, and the whole plagiarism thing.

Red Handed was another one but the sound quality is complete poo poo and apparently they talk about themselves and their merch way too much so no thanks.

Or just wean yourself from true crime as a genre, it's bad for you and whether it's a cold sterile Australian examination or a couple toootally hilarious bros riffing about Lake and Ng, it turns you into a weirdo given enough time.

Kip Kinkel is ready to speak

A year before Columbine, Kip Kinkel was America's current notorious school shooter, having killed his parents and killed two students. Little was said then, but Kinkel had untreated early onset schizophrenia. He said avoided interviews until now because he didn't want hurt his victims more.

Kinkel is essentially serving a life sentence. He stands little chance of being released.

e: Should also mention that it takes a long look at Oregon's juvenile sentencing. While youths can no longer be given life in prison, Kinkel's existence is why those sentenced before the change will still be confined for life.

quote:

Kinkel is one of about 10,000 people nationwide serving life or life-equivalent sentences for crimes they committed before they turned 18, when their brains were not yet fully developed. The U.S. is the only country that allows juveniles to be sentenced to life without parole. The children condemned to die in prison are disproportionately Black and brown, the result of years of racist fearmongering about so-called “super-predator” youth. But in Oregon, which is overwhelmingly white and has had a high rate of juvenile incarceration, Kinkel is one of the most infamous prisoners.

In recent years, Oregon has undergone intense debates about whether it’s appropriate to lock up juveniles for life. Senate Bill 1008, a juvenile justice reform bill that dramatically changed the way Oregon punished people who committed crimes before they were 18 years old, was introduced in the state legislature in 2019. It eliminated sentences of life without parole for minors, made it harder to prosecute kids as adults and created early-release opportunities for those who demonstrated rehabilitation.

Prosecutors and conservative media personalities inaccurately claimed that S.B. 1008 would automatically allow Kinkel to go free. He was the subject of television commercials and testimony in the state Capitol urging lawmakers to vote against the bill. The legislation narrowly passed, but weeks later politicians clawed back a key part of the reform effort. In response to concerns about Kinkel, the state legislature passed another bill amending S.B. 1008 to specifically exclude people who were sentenced before its passage. That move makes it more likely Kinkel will spend the rest of his life behind bars, but it also affects hundreds of other people in Oregon who are in prison for crimes they committed as kids — including people who have played a role in Kinkel’s rehabilitation.

Dunno what's the deal with the clickbait screenshots but that woman is Kayla Norton, a racist who served 2 years for being part of a small group that terrorized a black child's birthday party.

Pope Hilarius II posted:

Even 2 years seems a lot for this type of crime, unless maybe assault and actual terrorism was involved.

Here in Belgium it's generally agreed some type of crimes get off way too light, but it's baffling how casually the US justice system locks people up for years for crimes that seem relatively minor (mostly drug- or alcohol-related). I don't really believe in the concept of jail sentences anyway, except for the most egregious of crimes or if someone is truly a perennial danger to society and themselves (even then I would prefer these people to be institutionalized).

"Victims and witnesses from the party, who were predominantly African-American, testified to observing the group of trucks whose passengers were hurling a litany of racial slurs at them as they passed by," prosecutors said.

Several members of the group — some of whom are now serving prison terms of their own — got out of their trucks and approached the partygoers, threatening to kill them all. According to their fellow defendants and witnesses, it was Norton who retrieved Torres' shotgun — a tactical 12-gauge with a pistol grip — and loaded it before giving it to him.

Not technically true crime, but You're Wrong About as well as Behind the Bastards are both fantastic podcasts that delve deep into history and context behind major true crime cases (plus more).

Behind the Bastards is an incredibly bad podcast from a guy who gets funding from a CIA cutout to make it, for what I'm sure are definitely not political reasons.

That's a shame, thought it was very informative. Guess that CIA money gets everywhere huh.

Do you have anything specific to point out beyond that because in my experience most people on SA find it good.

My only beef with it - and I'm saying this completely unaware of anything about "CIA backing" (what? what?!) or whatever - is that it suffers from the curse of most long-running podcasts in that the show ends up taking on guests that the host finds way more talented / funny / interesting than the audience does, with the side effect of making the one and only time they cover a potentially interesting topic unlistenable.
