They remain separated from their parents after their parents are deported too, dipshit. Because they stay in US custody. Because we have no way of reuniting families once we have ripped them apart into this obscene, immoral “system” you think is so awesome.

Is that all you have? “Image of a child in a cage” is fake, and therefore there’s no outrage? It’s ok for toddlers to be forcefully removed from their parents? Ok to treat all refugees seeking asylum as “illegal immigrants”? Ok to keep all these abducted children in converted warehouses and call it “following the…

Read the summary. The defendant did not cross the border illegally; she (and hundreds more families since, who are the very people under discussion here) presented legally at crossing point to legally request asylum in person, as per US and international law.

that’s such a ridiculous, unfounded claim.

I do wonder why there is so much outrage over something so eye-rollingly simple: Parents break the law. Children are separated from parents while parents are being processed for breaking the law....and that’s it. That’s literally it.

It’s NOT ILLEGAL to ask for asylum.

That all depends. Is he wearing the elf ears and wig? ‘Cause if so, I’d lose every job I ever had for a piece of that.

I didn’t watch it but I know about the story from a Criminal podcast. The husband having been previously accused of a similar crime makes it very compelling.

I saw that picture of her and honestly thought she was a dude.

Holy crap! Lots more damning evidence in there, if it’s all true.

OMG!!!! I studied this case in law school and owl theory almost made me lol but it still makes more sense than Peterson doing it - the logic behind the prosecution wasn’t sound, with no murder weapon, dodgy forensics and some casual biphobia. He seems sincere and shocked - the thing that always stuck with me was that…

Yes! And during the first trial, when he had to make a decision from the bench and was sort of thinking out loud, I was sure he was going in one direction, then he did a 180 and almost contradicted himself! Either that, or I was confused a lot earlier than I thought I’d been. And that Germany stuff was just nuts! How…

I swear I recall “out front putting up lights” being mentioned but I’ve sworn to a lot of things that turned out to be wrong (like marriage #1), but it was only mentioned once and just in passing, I think. Nothing in the previous Investigation Discovery program nor in the Netflix series I watched ever mentioned it…

Ok I read about it and I don’t buy it. I think there was one single owl feather on her hand? I think it would have been much clearer from the autopsy if it was an owl.

You’re right, thank you.

I’ve sort of been keeping track of this whole thing ever since the trial, and I’m confounded in an interesting (to me) way. This is a foolish thing to say, but Peterson “seems” like he’d do something like that, although I have no sensible reason for saying that. You know how some people just give you the creeps?

What is the owl theory? Ok, I’ll google it. But yeah. I just saw it too, and then begged my friends to watch so I could discuss it with them. So talk! :D

Okay I just finished The Staircase on Netflix and I NEED TO TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT IT!!!! If you saw it, what did you think?? I would love to discuss pretty much anything about it, but maybe most importantly I read the owl theory just after I finished and it makes perfect sense to me. I got chills. If you…

Cuz, like, they’re not real people, amirite?!
