Man, this story was just painful to read. That poor man has already lost his life, including his future, as the settlement made sure of that. He’s got nothing to show for all his years in incarceration, and will likely be a burden to others unless he gets a financial windfall (honestly, who’s going to hire him with…

Oh absolutely. Utter tone deafness to the situation combined with a shit load of cameras and some kind of lofty toddler ‘Look what I did’ presentation? Fuck, its classic Donnie Trump catnip and he will ignore heaven and earth to pump that ego. 

The lead up to this has been reported on extensively on BBC Breakfast. So a little more detail for you.

There are so many horrible tidbits I could have added. Like in the documentary With Babies And Banners, the women mention that there was an investigation in the ‘30s into a plant on Livernois where a whole section made up of women were infected with venereal disease, because the same few foremen made sex with them a…

Great article, thank you!

“Many people don’t know this, but the British actually aligned themselves with England during the Revolution.  Most people don’t know about that whole deal.”

A kid I knew in high school lost his mom to a drunk driving diplomat. She was walking the dog with a friend early in the morning, and a drunk Russian swerved onto the sidewalk and killed her. He smelled of alcohol and could barely stand, but refused to talk to the cops. He had a diplomatic passport and license plate,…

“It’s not like the Brits helped us with Normandy”

“And in 2017 Texas cops searched a woman’s vagina, inserting fingers into it, for 11 minutes and found nothing”

Because if you F over the allies you’ve been using to fight your wars, they will ally with your enemies, then come after you.

If they feel so strongly about having to tiptoe around China, then they shouldn’t be there in the first fucking place. you take their money, and then all this BS follows.

This. The hurt and pain he was talking about was his own. Not, you know, the actual protestors whose lives are the line.

Because the LiveWire is trying to appeal the demographic that may otherwise buy a Honda or a Zero. The LiveWire’s biggest competitor vastly outperforms it in every metric while having a price tag that’s $10k less. The only reason to get a LiveWire is because you want an EV bike with a Harley badge on it.

“My team and this league just went through a difficult week. I think people need to understand what a tweet or statement can do to others. And I believe nobody stopped and considered what would happen. Could have waited a week to send it.”

Why expunge any record at all? What’s the point in a record being created, if it can so easily be deleted...the only exception should be if new evidence was submitted and innocence was proven. He now makes 57,000 a year for doing nothing! He murdered and received a cash prize! He should be content with what he got!…

Yeah, and I want a unicorn. Who the hell cares what he wants?

We need to pass a law police records cannot be expunged from public record if it involves a death.

Character assassination. Right after Botham Jean was killed they announced they found weed in his house. Why was this announced? Same as the fact that they found a gun in the home- to elicit a response of “well, maybe they deserved it...” Sickens me. 

“I dont know what to feel about the black dude who called it in even though its a non emergency number. He should have called the fire department instead.”

I find this SOO fucking hard to fathom just on earth why this had to and has to happen and keep happening over and over and over again.
