It is shocking how bright and articulate she is, especially given what she went through. She seems to have gotten very capable help, which is wonderful. I’m glad she is able to live a normal life. She’s certainly got an excuse for struggling, but she doesn’t appear to be.

Yup. Just let her have this

I highly doubt Ann is still salty about this 23 (or more, assuming Colbert dated his wife for a bit first) years later.

Yeah, and if they were “violently” fighting I can very easily see the driver inadvertently ramming the accelerator in the process. I am assuming there is more evidence that is not in the story, otherwise the murder charge just isn’t making sense.

This would never fucking happen on Benson’s watch.

Fuck that. This was the best thing that ever happened to this kid, and he was in no way ‘damaged’ to the point of 15 million dollars.

Why not? I love books. If they want to protest that way, it's cool. They're not being loud or disruptive.

I love the idea that he wasn’t supposed to call the police on people about to endanger those around them.

They were so, so close to not fucking this up, and then I got to the second to last paragraph.

Note: I am in no way defending either the letter writer or the responder from Uexpress. I think we can all agree they are both shitty people.

In no way would that make these two people less shitty.

We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…

The heatmap was based on sales through TicketMaster. I live 3 miles from the current stadium and went to 10 games last year, buying all my tickets from the physical box office to avoid TM's insane fees. Am I represented on that heatmap? Nope! They only used the data that would best justify the move to the public.
