He explained, “He was 20 years older than me and short. And I wasn’t attracted to Asian men.”

It’s not that it comes off as racist, it comes off as full-of-himself: “I was a hot California surfer stud, and he was 20 years older and short and Asian. Ew!”

The whole thing seems like it could have happened very quickly. Two of the consistent details in all of Brunton’s tellings are that he consumed two drinks he notes were very strong after a night on the town that probably involved drinking and that once he said “no” Takei immediately stopped and expressed concern about…

Brunton wants an apology for an unwanted advance that happened almost forty years ago. So to do it, he intentionally skews details to make what Takei did to him sound much, much worse and drags his name through the mud at a time when the Weinstein / Cosby stuff is going on?

Lionnet died while the two were interrogating torturing her in the bathroom of their house in southwest London

I love the part where CNN has them admitting to violating Irish Immigration and Customs law, also the part where they assume that their first amendment rights are exactly the same as if they were in America.

Have y’all come across any American Christian groups flying into Ireland to spread bullshit info to Irish voters?

If they were paranoid and convinced that she was in cahoots with the ex, they may have had cameras hidden all over the house and filmed it by accident. Police probably found it while searching the house.

I hardly know where to start, but — they recorded the murder?

Yeah, most Hollywood screenplays of any genre have a structure where the main character has an external “want” (in rom-coms, this is typically the affections of another person), which they initially fail to obtain, because of an internal “need” (in rom-coms, this is typically some personal growth/maturity). By…

“Ah, glad I’ve saved myself the trouble of watching all that rom-com BS! Now time for some real cinema!”

Yeah I can have empathy for them up to a point. But that point is where they start opening their mouths about how their kids is the victim.

Guns don’t kill people, doors kill people.

I would really like for gun owners to have to buy insurance for their weapons. There needs to be real repercussions for neglect. If enough insurance companies have to pay out, real change might actually happen. Dead kids don’t matter to these people, but they are really attached to their money.  

no reasonable security solutions

That’s just crazy talk! Remember, if Jesus just had a couple of Glocks, he’d probably be alive today!

Only two entrance/exit points is also a great idea if a fire happens to break out. Several hundred to a thousand panicked people all running for two doors.

Whoa whoa whoa, don’t you know that every citizen of the US is also a member of a well regulated militia? All ammosexuals are basically supersoldiers, you just can’t tell by looking at them but if they were ever in a firefight, hoo boy, they will turn into Neo and take down the shooter with ease. At least that’s what…

If only access to all that military firepower were restricted to those with military training. It’s a novel concept, I know, but I mean... maybe?

“Maybe we need to look into limiting the entrances and exits into our schools, so that we can have law enforcement looking at the people who come in one or two entrances,” Patrick said. “We’re going have to get creative. We’re going to have to think out of the box.”
