I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I had one that hurt like hell but if I held cold water around it it was 100% fine. But the second that water hit above lukewarm, it was like someone stuck a live wire on the nerve. They gave me a script for them actually and refilled it without question. Course I hurt so bad I couldn't even enjoy it lol

Fox News has basically lost half their audience since the Tucker firing. The Tucker tweetshow has a (fake) view number of 63 million. Donnie's political strategy is his legal strategy - yell really loud and delay things.

There were some big names who flat out quit the WGN team when they felt the show was going too conservative.

https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/newsnation-jennifer-lyon-nexstar-bias-1234926851/

"The simmering controversy for the channel previously known as WGN America gained steam on Tuesday when Nexstar confirmed that Jennifer Lyons, the WGN-TV Chicago news veteran who led the launch of the primetime “NewsNation” block last September, has resigned her post as VP of news. That follows several lower-level departures last week that appear to have been prompted by concerns that former Fox News executive Bill Shine is leading a charge to steer the channel to the right. Shine is a consultant to Nexstar and NewsNation but does not have a formal role at the company."

I started watching CNN again after Licht got fired and good lord, one of the co-hosts on their morning show is so tongue-tied that she's hard to watch.

She tripped over something a few minutes ago about the family lost in the jungle in Colombia ("and Wilson, their...dog!") and just referred to Tronald Trump.

I'm still on team "gently caress CNN". Licht got fired because he started drawing attention. The people who put him in place wanted him to do exactly what he did, and will continue to do it with other mascots around.

Could be the case, but if there is even one juror that is remotely like me he won’t be convicted.

Soul Dentist posted:

Absolutely not. No doubt he murdered the man, the question is whether it was justifiable homicide or manslaughter. There’s a whole host of steps you gotta take to perform a first degree murder. None of which appear to have been the case here.

I’m sad a mentally ill persons mental illness led directly to their death, but sometimes when you gently caress around, you find out. Or choke out in his case.

how could it possibly be justifiable homicide in any way whatsoever. the guy was not hurting anyone. simply being mentally ill does not mean someone can just be attacked. the thing that led to his death was some stupid gently caress decided to attack him and put him in a blood choke for 15 minutes. he's dead because someone murdered him, not because he was mentally ill.

Being crazy doesn’t mean you can just go around threatening people. That’s what our chokee was doing- being insane, threatening, and violent. He didn’t just get jumped because he was having a disagreement with the voices in his head.

I think it’s a good case for manslaughter, but I wouldn’t vote for it on that jury. But I recognize I am very much in a minority here, and I’m not gonna try and proselytize my regressive views on some issues. He’s probably getting manslaughter conviction if he doesn’t plea out to something lesser somehow, which I don’t see how they could, but hey white defendent black victim, America. Anything can happen.

If you were a prosecutor, would you let the perp plea on anything less than manslaughter?

If you bring manslaughter and lose, you can at least blame the jurors. It would in certain cases be fair to do so.

If you slap him with a lesser charge, there is no one to blame but yourself.

It’s just disruptive when a crazy person is screaming they’re gonna loving kill you? That’s how we characterize poo poo now?

Man I want whatever the gently caress your smoking.

I don’t think the guy deserved to die, but he also forfeited his safety by threatening that of others.

They got a manslaughter case. I wouldn’t vote for it, but I hate crazy out of control belligerent violent people and conversely I like veterans. These are not good reasons, these are not reasonable reasons, they’re not even sane or consistent reasons, but they are my reasons.

Even ignoring the initial altercation, holding the choke long after the other guy was unconscious makes it an easy manslaughter vote if I’m on that jury.

Yeah that's where I end up on it, too. He could've easily just let up on that hold and let the guy wake up. If he goes all violent again, restrain him again. Holding that chokehold was reckless and dangerous. I'd vote to convict him of manslaughter.

again where are you seeing that he was screaming that he was going to loving kill someone. according to witnesses he was saying he didn't care if he died. please link me wherever you are seeing that being reported or on video?

and yeah from being around a whole bunch of people in crisis over a bunch of years, yeah I'd characterize that as disruptive. if they attack someone I'd call that violent. if they haven't attacked anyone, I wouldn't call them violent. they might be threatening, but that's different from attacking someone.

even if he'd been violent I'd still argue that murdering him is loving stupid and a massive over-escalation and completely unjustifiable because it is. if you can restrain him, which clearly the guy was able to do, just restrain him. you don't have to loving kill him.

At best, negligent homicide. Either dude knew enough to misapply and hold the blood choke for too long, or he had no idea what he was doing and held it too long. Either one is negligence, and I haven't seen any verified witness reports that he was acting threatening until he was was confronted by Captain Chokehold. Most of the public narrative has been framed by a PR firm that worked for the NYPD where Dipshits Dad was a Captain and ran interference from day 1.

Regardless, he didn't know what the gently caress he was doing and killed a guy.
