I don’t know what his next move will be, but I hope he takes time to mullet over.

I pulled a knife on a guy and asked him for his money, and he gave it to me. If you consent to a robbery, then it’s not a robbery.

“If you consent to an assault, then it’s not an assault”

The district attorney went on to dispute any part of the incident was waterboarding, though he said the alleged assailants used the phrase before the attack began.

This guy did good with shitty rape excuse bingo, too.

Natrona county’s relationship with Lady Justice is a Blonigen/off again affair.

Explain to me in detail how I missed it.

but no compassion for the people who would be forced to pay for their net economic drain?
