These stupid motherfuckers always like to cry WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE on cases where the perpetrator was arrested and charged.

Tobert would also have had just as much access to Ben as Dickey did, uniquely among all the characters. Additional thoughts pointing in his direction:

Agreed on how awesome this sounds and how it also might be too implausible. But it is definitely interesting as a parallel to the song.

Unless they’d taken out a production insurance policy, or multiples.  By coincidence last night after watching this I happened to watch an episode of Archer where that was the exact plot, so it occurred to me.

“Hutchinson denies that the female in question was 16 but attests that he touched the victim’s breasts to prove to traffickers he was not a police officer.”

Uh, what?  How?  Huh?

Ligaments springs into action seemingly to prove the article’s point.  Weird.

What a weird thing to go out on a limb about in defense of a rapist.

“Considering the anticipation for the stainless steel electric truck”

mm-hmm.

“It’s a genre where anything is possible through engineering, IF you’re rich, but if you’re not then you’re struggling to get by in the parts of the world the rich haven’t destroyed yet.”

Say, that sounds familiar.

Well, RIP in advance!

I’m not falling for that one again!

“Note: This kid now wants to get a 1000CC SuperSport motorcycle as his “starter” bike”

I don’t know anything about motorcycles, but I’m picking up from your wording here that this young man’s driving may be a problem that (perhaps tragically, perhaps not) solves itself.

STOP BURYING THE LEDE IN YOUR POSTS

They could always retcon that by mentioning that he was specifically a pioneer in the field of being a guinea pig for experimental treatment to cure sociopathy and narcissism, and afterwards in the field of apologizing and making amends for his prior behavior! 

See, e.g., Apollo 23. RIP.

I definitely remember the “he was very disrespectful to Beck” line from way back when I watched all that stuff, so it’s gotta be out there somewhere.

It’s, hilariously, about the worst possible example he could have chosen as somehow demonstrating his “point.” This guy created his own incidents, without traffic stops, clearly had no fear of traffic stops, and in response to multiple complaints, police investigated him, located him, and arrested him without traffic…

“but reportedly took him at his word that he hadn’t been drinking and wasn’t on drugs because he now owns addiction recovery centers and stays sober.”

Sounds like someone accepted the folded-up $100 bill that was handed over with the drivers’ license.

It’s incredible that in a story involving a literal child rapist, Rokita managed to make himself seem like nearly as big an asshole.

I don’t think he’s due any credit for aiding and abetting his anti-vax followers.
