THE LAST EGG

I assumed coke bender and one too many excited viewings of American Psycho. Blockading the door with furniture is definitely a drug move.

Ah, ok. That makes sense. Thank you. I’d still rather imagine Kate enabling young love than her actually dating an 18 year old. I’ve stood by Kate through many questionable decisions, but even I can’t go there.

I read the entire DM article trying to figure out why the Facebook comment from Curtis’ sister should not be interpreted as him being in a relationship with the 28 year old von Bismark boy. I’m still confused:

The question was Polanski’s state of mind, not how his acts would be interpreted under the law. It’s been well established by social sciences that you can get a man to admit to the individual acts that add up to “rapist” as long as you avoid making him claim the “rapist” label. There are many men who commit rape and…

I barely remember the names of people I’ve tussled with a week after the fact, but I’m pretty sure that you’re the poster who impressed me on Gawker recently with your completely idiotic devotion to proving that gurvisback is the Tomato Troll.

Lol, what a load of bullshit. You’re the one who tried to instruct me and declare who is and is not a troll.

I checked his comment history for today because someone said he was stirring up shit and it featured an extended, combative back and forth with the gay Macedonian dude you are telling to read his comment history.

What about my response to you suggested that I’m unfamiliar with his comment history? I won’t pretend to have read all of it, but I’ve been reading the guy for quite awhile now and I disagree that he’s a troll. And having been on the receiving end of “I can’t believe you disagree with me, you must be trolling!!!” when…

He’s not nonsensical, he’s just coming from a very different perspective. My definition of “troll” is narrower than “person posting things that make me uncomfortable.” Although I will admit there is something darkly amusing about how people refuse to believe he’s being sincere.

I didn’t realize gurvisback had changed his name again. I don’t buy that he’s a troll, but nor had I planned on responding further because the OP was just kinda dumb and I didn’t see the value in trying to explain to him why his pride was misplaced. He’s knowledgeable about a bunch of sort of obscure things, I like…

I’m confused. What are you gloating about? Did you really think it was a daring call to predict that the fantastically wealthy and powerful Hollywood player would attack and discredit the witness, along with the assistance of numerous others?

He was already convicted! He entered a guilty plea as part of the bargain, the court accepted it, he was convicted. That was a done deal by the time he ran, he’d already waived his right to jury trial. All that remained was sentencing. I don’t even know what you’re trying to say about his lawyer given that there are no…

Polanski did accept a plea deal. He didn’t exactly admit his guilt in the sense that when interviewed by police he admitted to raping her, he plead guilty in court to a lesser charge in exchange for the prosecution recommending a 90 day sentence. Judges do not have to follow the prosecution’s recommendation, but they…

No, I said he faced some unusual factors that made him freaking the fuck out about going to prison more understandable than your standard rich guy who doesn’t want to go to prison. I also said that did not justify him running or mean that he should not have been punished.

That’s wishful thinking on your part. It’s a dick measuring contest that the state of California has been losing to the French government for decades. If it were truly about demonstrating that famous/powerful men don’t get a pass on rape, I’m sure there are plenty of rapists presently residing in LA County the…

The horrible state of our prisons, then and now, is a direct result of people acting like these are entirely separate issues. Our claimed moral authority to incarcerate people comes with a moral obligation to incarcerate them in humane conditions, something we routinely fail to do. It’s not an excuse for him to run,…

Hot take!

It’s not just that Manson murdered his wife, it’s that the 90 day sentence he agreed to could be served in county jail. When he was looking at up to 15 years, that meant being put in the same prison system that houses Manson. A highly racist prison system, where non-racist white guys are forced to be friendly with the…
