First degree murder requires willful premeditation. This was spur of the moment reaction. The charge and verdict are good.

2nd degree is not a compromise. He’s guilty of murder. Manslaughter would have been a compromise.

Yeah, that’s just sad - they systematically tried to cover up a murder, and will likely face zero consequences for it. Again, another thing that probably happens way more than we even know about. 

It refuted the blatant lies on a lot of police reports. There should be about a dozen other cops heading to prison over that.

He was only convicted because the video so directly refuted his blatant lies on the police report. Just think of how many times cops got away with (and continue to) murdering civilians because they “remembered” things their way on police reports. Terrible tragedy, but at least there’s a little justice here.

Without the first sentence this is indistinguishable from the usual garbage. Well done.

Extra points for “ EA Ubisoft”

This satire is almost plausible.

I have played Assassin’s Creed since AC1, and I have studied Assassin’s History since I was 5 years old. I majored in Economics at UCLA with a minor in Assassin Studies, with a heavy focus on Desmond Miles. To call me “uneducated” because I want a reasonablly authentic game is completely uncalled for. Women DID NOT…

I think I’m in the minority when I say I really really liked the mini game puzzles - the pipe dream stuff and the spectrum analysis stuff was a fun way to breakup gameplay.

Some of us enjoy gaming in glasses-free 3D, Luke. Not that they are making use of that feature anymore :-/

Yup! Kill it dead. Leave us with one platform, every Nintendo team working on the same machine, everyone able to play every game the company releases anywhere at any time. It’d be amazing.

Kill the 3DS. It’s had a good run. Make this new Switch smaller, with a more efficient screen and a better battery. Go all in on the portable angle.

Obstruction: Fun and fair when they do it, but unfair and petty and mean when it’s done to them.

Fine, we will properly vet our SCOTUS candidates and ask that they withdraw if they turn out to have a history of sexual deviance. Oh, you’re going to put a bunch of false accusers in the wings waiting? We’ll just do full investigations then. And also maybe appoint some more women.

He’s my favorite lesbian in the Senate.

Can someone please explain to me how the extremely numerous religious “homosexuality is a sin!” conservative voters of SC are apparently completely oblivious to the fact that Lindsay Graham is very gay?

In the hours and days following the layoffs, fans on social media demanded to know what the series’ future might be, a request that seemed absurd to some of those recently laid off, such as The Walking Dead: The Final Season designer Emily Buck. “‘The Company will finish it,’” she wrote on Saturday, paraphrasing fans’…

Something tells me, despite the staff getting the shaft, that the higher-ups are gonna be juuuuuust fine.

I think this is important. Mass layoffs can be common, especially in an industry as volatile as games, and most of us have either experienced it first-hand or know someone who has.
