I think by “deadliest mass shooting”, they’re trying to categorize it as being performed by a single shooter or small group of shooters. The ones described above were performed by large crowds of assholes, rather than one angry asshole.

Half of these examples aren’t even “shootings”. The first one listed was a bombing. Semantics, while often pedantic, do carry meaning here.

This. You’re comparing apples to oranges. Now if someone in some half-abandoned town in the south rounded up a bunch of guys to shoot all the black people in town, then you’d have a comparison on your hands. The mass shooting stat they’re all referring to in the news refers to a single person committing the act and…

You don’t count this is black people stuff.

Romulans might not be too happy we broke the Treaty of Algeron.

Yeah but on the flip side, this is Jalopnik. Any time there are politics involved, rights of opinion/speech only apply to 1 side of the argument. Everyone else is racist / bigot / supremacist / bad because they share the other opinion.

Is Jalopnik about cars or politics? The guy still has a right to not disagree with what other people say (I think?).

These massacres don’t fit into the mass shooting category as you defined at the beginning of the article. These massacres had very definite targets. The “mass shootings” we’re talking about don’t have clearly defined targets and purposes.

So awesome use of song in Silence of the Lambs

A citizen of the United Kingdom kneeling for the American national anthem is supposed to accomplish what exactly?

And if you read the court transcripts, he is told multiple times that he is not promised any particular sentence and that jail time is a possibility, and acknowledges that he understands this. The fact that he’s acting like he’s a big old victim because he didn’t get away with only serving 40-odd days for child rape…

This rapist not only groomed his 13 year old victim, he then drugged her with a qualude and alcohol. This rapist then proceeded to anally rape the 13 year old presumably because he thought that vaginal rape could be detected by hymen test. The rapist then made the 13 year old promise not to tell and then dropped her…

I wish these Polanski articles would come with a list of all the sycophants in Hollywood RIGHT NOW that defend this man at every turn. You will never get a narcissist to understand that they’re wrong, but you might be able to cut them off from support.

Ms. Greiner wants it to be over b/c it’s dragged on for years and she’s dealt with it on her own end apparently but if he had just done his pitiful amount of time back when it happened, instead of running, maybe it could be “over” for him too. As important as the victim is, justice is also about saying “no you can’t…

How dare he use his victim’s plea to be left alone for his own end. This man is despicable.

He now lives in France with his wife, actress Emmanuelle Seigner

Even now, it’s all about you, isn’t it, you jerk?

Even beyond the grossness of his certainty that everyone is a pedophile, it’s more than a little telling that Polanski doesn’t include women in his concept of “everyone.”

As long as I’m alive and able to comment, I will post this quote:

He may not have been in for the murders but the reason he was jailed is because he was trying to hide money from the Goldmans. That memorabilia (which wasn’t actually his, it was mainly Pete Rose memorabilia) was hidden in a storage unit when the Browns and Goldmans won the civil suit. He stopped paying, it got…
