Could be code for “Heil Hitler” or as he does it “Hale Hitler".

They weren’t remotely accusatory, Hannah. I talked to Shana several times and expressed a very sincere and genuine curiosity about SSM and a willingness to hear what drew you guys to it (and in your case I would’ve asked about your partnership with International).

Hi Princess Superstar! I’m sorry you chose not to respond to my email requesting comment but happy to see you here!

Thanks for your comment, Hannah! I am bummed International didn’t bother to respond to my many entreaties to talk but I’m finding and approving all the comments down here by current SSM members.

I don’t really even know who you are, but after this article I’m ready to have your babies.

Personally, I’m a fan of Bernie’s ride.

It’s entirely possible that the truck should not have been on the road.

As someone who suffers from various allergies, I’ll try to be as diplomatic as possible here. That said...

Two cops. One suicidal person with a knife. Forget being of some kind of help, if you can’t extricate yourself from that situation without shooting the person, it’s time for a different line of work.

For reals he SAID THAT?

These assholes always see themselves as THE only victims in these situations. Everyone else usually conspires against them.

This is such a great point. The jurors would have to be concerned about possible retaliation. Brave citizens to discharge their duty.

First off I love the phrase “fucking basura” and I thank you for bringing it into my lexicon.

I’d drink his tears like a big ‘ol jug of wine.

He actually says to the jury as he approaches the bench, “how could you do that? how could you do that?”
Rage. Blinding rage. How could THEY do that? I hope this fuckin’ guy really enjoys his possible 263 years.

18...out of 36. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad he’s been found guilty at all. I had my doubts the jury would do the right thing . I know there’s some nuance here about why he was found guilty of only half of his charges that I’m probably missing. I just would’ve preferred to hear “guilty on ALL counts”. Still, watching…

rarely do i take pleasure in someone else’s visible suffering, but this piece of fucking basura deserves everything coming to him. just can’t believe the outcome; a former white cop, an all-white jury, and (as you say) the brave women who are the most vulnerable in our society did not inspire confidence in our fucked…

Watching that monster cry and shake was the closest thing to any kind of justice I’ve felt in a long while. Fuck him and may the brave women who shared their stories find peace.

Time to celebrate! My rum and Coke will be dedicated to the guilty verdict... Who else is in?

Whenever I read a story like this, I'm always saddened by the pointlessness of war and the loss of human life. These stories demonstrate that we are capable of behaving humanely to each other, yet it only seems to happen briefly.
