I guess one bad act/threat begets another, right?

So I looked up the California law on this and it seems you could theoretically be sued for defamation for any untrue and damaging statement you make to anyone else that you claim is a fact, it doesn’t matter if the conversation was private.

If it’s written to a third party, a "false statement of fact" and could cause harm to the one it’s made against. That’s really all libel/defamation takes. The public figure component would have required proving malice, a much higher standard.

His face tattoo says “misunderstood.”

In response to a question about the environmental impact of the new Mexico-Canada trade deal. And we all know that those wars happened a…

Happy or sad, it sounds like everyone got the ending they deserve.

Congratulations on having the patience, intelligence and self-control to hit him where it really hurt instead of punching him in the mouth, making another old white man who’s a dentist richer, getting arrested and maybe shot. It sucks not to be able to give them what they deserve immediately but they will have to eat…

So hypothetically speaking, let’s say that using a racial slur is wildly out of character for this gentleman. That means that he got so angry* about not being able to sit in the front seat that he used a term that he finds completely inappropriate in any normal circumstance. So maybe along with working on not being…

He changed his position on the first issue early last June, and I don’t know about the second issue.

He could have used the quote without crediting the rapist Mike Tyson like he's some deep philosopher. Mostly nobody would have known from where it originated.
