"You get a fire! You get a fire! You get a fire! Everyone gets a fire!"

"But, really: staying open on Sundays would present an economic boon for France ..." Oh, it's going to be a "boon" all right, just you wait! Look at America, we're doing great and we just love it! There's no downside, that's the beauty!

Ice of color!!!!

The Request for a Restraining Order is a pretty unreal document now that I read the whole thing. Mr. Vega is filing the Request not just to protect him, but to cover his wife and kids as well. He describes, under penalty of perjury, what appear to be two incidents and in the first one, Nieto shot him a total of 4…

A "mistake"? Did he mean to punch someone else and then mistakenly punched his wife?

Nice find on the Superior Court website. Here's the language from the Restraining Order: "He force himself into my wife car when I was picking up my son. When I appeared he scream to me to get the fuck out and that fuck you Arthur then he got out of the car with a Duffle bag holding what look to be a gun but turn out…

I don't know that anyone is saying that this guy "deserved to die." I do think that some people believe that Jezebel selectively cites unproven facts to support their own narrative. Once the outlines of that story have been formed, good luck changing anyone's opinion here on what happened. Jezebel knows full well that…

The writers at jezebel don't get paid when they get a story right. They get paid when a story goes viral and people click on it a lot. Jezebel doesn't really fact check its stories and purports to update things only when "something is wrong in a story." I doubt they'll find any information about Nieto's psychiatric…

I'm guessing it's because kidnapping is an intentional crime which requires the specific intent to kidnap. If the baby had been in the trunk and a tow truck just hooked up the car and towed it would you consider that kidnapping?

Point: I like it.

Also, why does she still have a job?

The only people that never act like this are anonymous internet commenters ... whatever ths situation, they're constantly getting it right.

The Jezebel business model is unique in the sense that getting it right actually brings in disappointing profits ... getting it wrong, that's where the real money (clicks) are.

It's interesting how Jezebel sees fit to comment on legal proceedings and doesn't seem to have the slightest clue as to the concept of comparative fault. The writers here always seem to be stunned that their nonsense, made-up quasi legal sounding doctrine of "blaming the victim" isn't like a real thing.

I used to go to the Vicente Calderon in the early 90s to watch Atletico Madrid games and the things I'm seeing these days with "El Cholo" Simeone at the head are unreal.

I lived in Hawaii for a summer in the early 90s and some of the locals weren't particularly big on "haoles." My Hawaiian friends were super cool to me, but I remember leaving a bar one night with a bunch of locals following me and a friend. As they were about to confront us, a taxi came around the corner and I feel as…

In California, prosecutors have ten years to file rape charges, but the state's legal definition of rape requires penetration. The six-year statute of limitations for the lesser offense of sexual battery reportedly ran this summer.

If your point is that GM moved the industry forward with the EV1, that seems like a pretty weird argument to make considering GM scuttled a successful program because of either pressure from oil companies or to avoid loses in spare part sales. Either way, the EV1 example basically showed that the business model…

I streamed it recently on Netflix and man has that movie held up well ... I thought it was fantastic. At the time, it caused quite a stir for some of the violence toward the end. I'm not big on violent movies, but by today's standards, it was not a big deal. Mickey Rourke was a hell of an actor before he became a…

In other news, woman who made a career out of offending people, then riding the subsequent publicity bubble continues to offend people and then ride the subsequent publicity bubble.
