Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/justin-roiland-rick-morty-allegations-domestic-violence-charges-rcna65403

quote:

Justin Roiland, the star and co-creator of the animated comedy series “Rick and Morty,” has been charged with felony domestic violence in Orange County, California, in connection with a 2020 incident, according to a criminal complaint filed in May 2020 by the Orange County District Attorney. He appeared in court Thursday for a pre-trial hearing.

Roiland pleaded not guilty in 2020. In a statement, one of Roiland's attorneys wrote that his client is innocent and he expects the case will be dismissed.

"We look forward to clearing Justin's name and helping him move forward as swiftly as possible," attorney T. Edward Welbourn wrote.

NBC News obtained the criminal complaint in the case, which charges Roiland, 42, with one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit. NBC News is the first to report publicly on the case.

The complaint states the incident occurred on or about Jan. 19, 2020, against an anonymous Jane Doe who was dating Roiland at the time.

According to Orange County Superior Court records, Roiland pleaded not guilty to both charges in October 2020. Since then, the case has been the subject of more than a dozen court hearings, including pre-trial hearings. A trial date is not currently set.

Many court records remained sealed but the available public documents seen by NBC News say Roiland was charged in May 2020. Roiland was arrested and released on a $50,000 bond in August 2020 and arraigned in October 2020.

A protective order filed in October 2020 and documented in the court minutes said Roiland is not to harass, threaten or surveil the person named in the protective order, who is not known to NBC News. Roiland cannot go within 100 feet of the person, according to the order, which also ordered Roiland to turn in any firearms he owned or possessed. The order lasts until October 2023, and it’s not known who submitted the request for the order.

No matter what happens, I'm sure the Rick and Morty fanbase will handle this situation calmly and maturely.

But seriously, this dude seems to be EVERYWHERE right now between TV shows and video games, so I feel bad for anybody else who's going to lose their jobs because of this.

I guess the Rick and Morty stickers on my neighbor's truck with all the trump stickers were PROPHECY all along. Somehow, he knew. Seeing as that man is so smart, I'll have to consider the other opinions espoused by local trucks, yard signs, the guy street preaching with a bull horn with no batteries, etc. Thank you op.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to punch a woman. The violence is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the punches will go over a typical victim’s head. There's also Justin’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Mike Tyson videos, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these crimes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike violence against women truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Justin’s existential catchphrase "Shut the Hell Up Bitch," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Justin’s genius fist unfolds itself on their cheekbones. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Justin Roiland tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they can take a punch beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

This is when I realized I had some major reservations about Justin, despite being a huge Grandma's Virginity Podcast nerd up to the point this episode of Harmontown was recorded. IIRC while this story is brutal and I feel bad for him, Justin got drunk as gently caress and completely belligerent nearer to the end of this episode, and Curtis Armstrong stopped showing up to tapings shortly afterward. I haven't listened to it in full in probably 8 years and it doesn't seem to be readily available, but if you enjoy trainwrecks you might want to hunt down episode 143 of Harmontown.

Edit: Of course it's age restricted.

Just in time for David Zaslav to satiate his cancellation boner, no doubt. He's probably getting CEO-horny already over how much tax write-offs and residual payments Warner Bros. Discovery will save from giving the ax to this one! (And of course it's not like the R&M merch is going to stop selling anytime soon.)
