Fuck the fucking pinkerton scum, they should all be put in jail, the people at the head of it forever. Leaks aren’t great, but fuck the fucking pinkertons.

Since when have groups of armed thugs ever needed legal authority to intimidate people?

Makes me wonder how they operate in “stand your ground” states.

I’ll give it wotc. Effective tactic (scumbags!) If they simply sent this guy a strongly worded letter, he would have likely contacted legal counsel and decided to fight this or let it go.

That would have been an interesting article to read! I imagine it really could go any direction at all if they did get the deputies involved.

They don’t really have any, but someone shows up at your day with legal statues and threatens lawsuits can be pretty convincing when you just dropped a youtube video about unreleased content.

Pinkertons whining about being portrayed as villains in fiction is just so hilarious to me. Hey, maybe stop still being villains in the modern day first, assholes.

I think it’s more just threatening and intimidating people who don’t know their rights. Even the article said the detectives would have to bring the Sheriff in for any meaningful action. 

I find myself more than a little puzzled as to what legal authority a private security company has to detain a home owner on their own property?  The Pinkertons have been around for a long time, so presumably there’s something, but to an uninformed layperson there seems a qualitative difference between detaining…

This is the International Red Cross. I haven’t heard bad things about them like I have about the American Red Cross.

“All of those people I ritually sacrificed to my gods were willing participants! Yes, they were previously prisoners of war, but they eagerly converted to my faith, repented their crimes, were released, and then volunteered their blood!

I think I’m missing some context, mind elaborating?

At the very least, this should have some sort of positive effect, right?

But yeah, otherwise we need to encourage more people to think critically about the media they consume AND the institutions spearheading humanitarian campaigns.

You want a lawyer who will do anything for you, but as a practicing lawyer, I can say that the ones who brand themselves as “attack dogs” or “slimey” and “badass” are, 100%, without a doubt, some of the most incompetent shitheels currently practicing. Those people are universally BAD LAWYERS who have BAD OUTCOMES for…

That’s the kind of advice people sitting in jail give you.

I said in a comment here a while back something to the effect that “any lawyer who says there is evidence that ‘proves’ his clients ‘innocence’ should be disbarred,” and a ton of people came for me like I spit on their grandmothers.

His lawyer is a moron.

Nintendo’s legal ethos IS petulant, petty, and cruel. Almost every stance they’ve taken on fair use, monetization on YouTube, use of their games at tournaments, public exhibition, etc. are regressive and draconian.

Just another stupid way of punishing people, as it’s been stated. It’ll be impossible for him to pay this during his life time unless he wins the damn lottery or something.. So it’s way more likely he’ll turn to crime again just to make ends meet without loosing 25-30% of each paycheck.
