Can you clarify what you disagree with? My issue is that the DA framed the true offense in this case as dirtying the public image of cops. That's not the true offense in this case. I just don't really get what you disagree with.

I disagree. I think we often require life sentences for the express purpose of keeping people off the streets, as it were. In that vein, and fitting with what you said that, "[life] removes any motivation for the convicted to change their behavior for the better," rapists 100% fit the bill for eligible for life…

HA! I love that you didn't send it. That's almost better because if he got that job, he probably stressed the whole time that the knew what a skeez he was.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. That first one rocks.

ETA: Too many personal details :)

Lindy I just love how you write. I always stop working (it's okay I still log the hours) and read your shit and laugh and laugh and then cry a little at the #trufbombs and then send it to my ex-boyfriend. I love you. Happy Friday to me. SUNDAYISCOMING

Good Lord we used to dress cheesy. Everyone looks terrible. I remember everyone looking like this but that perspective sort of just makes it worse.

I know this isn't what you're trying to say and it's not a condemnation of you personally, but it makes me want to cry to think that it's only after having daughters and wives that fuckers like this start to think of women as people. I can't believe the narcissism it takes to have so little empathy towards women…

LOL!cry is the only acceptable response. Relegating women to props in movies is another manifestation of the culture that okays rape because it views women as objects undeserving of agency. Not saying they're the same; they have the same foundation. LOL!cry indeed.

Godwin's Law is always a sign of desperation.

No. He could not. He is so fucking annoying. The crazy eyes + brow raise + shaky speech + absurd intonations . I just can't.

So true. The first time Papa Pope went on a raging diatribe, it was AWESOME. But now it's every week...just like Olivia's trembling Fitz lips.

Um perfect synopsis.

HAHA RIGHT?? That's what I screamed at the TV.

O Lord, Shonda Rhimes, please let Fitz die next week.

HAHAHA that killed me. The money goes straight INTO the technology? No vendors? Have the writers never been late on an electricity bill before?

What do you have to do to get a little respect?

I'm explaining why should might have lied. She did lie. I do not think she can be blamed for his death, even though yes she lied, when someone else shot him. Obviously think she can. We're not going to agree on that.

No, it's not. We're analyzing actions. The action that took his life was the gun shot. His breaking and entering was the direct cause of the shooting? He directly caused his own death by entering his girlfriend's parents' house? Come on.

Stop with the nonsense hypotheticals. They have no place here because your hypotheticals aren't what happened. Yes, whoever does the action is responsible for doing the action. I don't see why that's so controversial. Sometimes they're justified, sometimes they're not. But they still took and action and therefore are…
