Knowing the police must follow law, the police cannot do much because the law does not protect women. That is the fault of a culture that despises women and views all females as disposable objects. If our society were not so sick and so complacent about femicide, harrassment and stalking, I’d like to believe the…

Didn’t Roald Dahl write the original story? I remember reading it in an anthology of stories he wrote.

Nope, not according to the dude upthread who says it may as well have been a leg of lamb 

If only the good people, son and wife, were armed there would have been a totally different outcome.  All 3 would be dead.  But, of course, it’s not the guns.  

I have a message tonight for Merrick Garland, and Jack Smith, and Joe Biden.

Also, as someone who’s dealt with more than a few suicides over the course of my life, it really isn’t that uncommon to see someone talk a lot about how great they’re feeling and how they’re over whatever problems they’ve had and even go on to say (often without it really being part of the conversation) “I’m not…

I’m guessing he never heard the end of the Anne Frank story.

last year I watched the Epstein documentary (with Dershowitz angrily defending himself) around the same time as a documentary about the Mafia in NYC in the 80's and how Giuliani made his reputation going after the Mafia and it hit me hard—what the FUCK happened to those guys? An esteemed Harvard law professor known…

Enough with 24-hour 'news'. It's turned into shitty infotainment to sell ads. 

My first thought when I saw the picture was “Wow, this guy is a modern day Rosa Parks. The similiarities in every way are just remarkable. Carry on, freedom fighter.”

You can call it racist, but this-

Can’t appeal, but they can file a civil suit against the family, esp. as the creep is from a wealthy family who enabled him. I hope they can find pro bono lawyers to take it on if for no other reason to keep this case in the public’s eye.

So when cops and DA’s complain that women won’t report rapes or testify, maybe they can direct their anger to bullshit like this. 

To paraphrase the Onion, I’m surprised they’re not blaming Meghan Markle. 

He’s not mocking trans people for what they do, but for what they are.

It’s simply gullibility for propaganda. A lack of criticality of narratives that you *want* to believe.

There is absolutely a political component to this. I'm friends with a couple who are totally anti-vax..now.  Last October they were telling everyone that they would be first in line. What happened in between?

A lot of it falls under the Dunning-Kruger effect

I have a (possibly nutty) theory that this is fueled to some degree by the “self esteem” movement of the 70's and 80's. Parents of insecure kids were told to tell their kids how awesome they were, they did, but unfortunately those kids realized when they hit adulthood that the world is not going to keep telling you…

I first noticed this craziness as we headed into 2000. At the time, I chalked it up to the turn of the century; a huge milestone like that is bound to trigger weird thoughts about the world ending, Jeebus coming, etc.
