I’m sure they’re aiming to remove her right to vote with a felony conviction.

I hope so but I can’t count on the prosecutor not being an asshole.

Yeah that has to be the weakest riot in the history of riots lol. I see the felony charges being dropped but not the others

My eternal crush on him just seems to grow.

seems reasonable to me

I don’t appreciate your edge policing, please desist. Thank you again.

can you expand on why you’re not a fan? not starting an argument, just curious! feel free to dismiss me if you don’t wanna elaborate :)

This is very reasonable? And although he doesn’t state it outright, the car crash and lightening comparisons are apt because just like this circumstance, they’re very RANDOM events.
