A Triple Shy of the Cycle

Read the transcripts. The chances that the grand jury got it right, given the out and out misdirection they were given by the ADAs, are minimal. What you said about how the SLPD comports itself was on the money. Now think about how likely it is that a member of a police force willing to behave that egregiously toward

Nailed it. The rich, white, former Republican congressman who drinks Starbucks for a living is the trusted voice we need in these tumultuous times.

I'm not a huge supporter of Michael Brown. I generally feel that if you attack or flee from a police officer (who isn't hiding his identity as a cop or blatantly committing a crime himself) you deserve to be shot. Obviously, figuring out the truth of whether this is what happened is another matter, but with all of the

I think by gunning down suspects in the street and then trying to stamp out peaceful protests like a bunch of fascist pigs that the St. Louis PD has done a fine job minimizing the "outstanding work" their organization has done for years to come.

Right? The most interesting stuff about Serial to me is what's been left out of the podcast that is part of the public record - for example, bank records show that on the day she died, Hae's debit card was used at a gas station 30 miles from the Best Buy and far from the park where her body was found. Also, there were

I really side-eyed the thing about Hae not being at Best Buy at 2:36 though. It was someone who had been listening to the podcast who seemingly all of a sudden remembered crystal clearly what went on that day and remembered something exculpatory.

Right. "Innocent" and "Not Guilty" are two different concepts that can be and are mutually exclusive sometimes.

Fun fact: most people are able to listen to more than one type of podcast.

This is really the key thing: it's not that he's innocent. It's that he's not guilty of the charges based on the evidence given. HUGE difference if you give a damn about the basic philosophies of our fundamental legal rights.

I have no idea if Adnan did this or not, but there's NO way he should have been convicted on the evidence presented. Reasonable doubt out the yang!

I thought it was offensive when the officials by the goal line kept making that same gesture in St. Louis today. Enough is enough.

Oh I see. So he's not YOUR kind of Serbian. Thanks for the racially motivated clarification.

Society wants women to courageously fight back against their attackers and be brutalized doing so because it fuels the media machine that is powered by sexualizing violence against women. They'd rather have a dead martyr than a living victim who might say things that hurt their feelings, because that martyr no longer

People like you are the reason I didn't go to my 10 year, because who gives a rat's ass about your PhD? If you need validation from people you haven't seen in 10 years, good luck impressing anyone at the 20...

The NFL is so evil it turned Ray Rice into a sympathetic figure. The only logical outcome of this is that he signs with New England so everyone can go back to hating him.

No big deal...I mean, it's not like he sells monogrammed Thermoses, or anything....

That's impressive. I believe Darren Wilson and his many supporters would call you "One of the Good Ones". Then they'd pat you on the head and give you a cookie. And maybe a spot on FOX news.

"I am Black person"

Hell, I wanted to break up with myself after reading Haunted. At least divorce that portion of my brain that stored the memory of it. (Pool scene......nooooooooo)

I have a weakness for that look. I'm not proud of it.
