There is big difference between indirectly causing someone to commit suicide because you left them and literally encouraging someone to kill themselves and you know that. The situation is not remotely comparable. Just because this is Jezebel doesn’t mean you have to twist this into a men vs women thing.

‘“It’s really hard to understand how this could happen, how somebody could do that to children,” local police lieutenant Dan McGrath told the press.’

So if someone came into your house and gunned down a guest, and then the family of your guest sued you for not hiring armed guards for your house, you’d go bankrupt rather than do anything to defend yourself? You’d accept the loss of all your money, your home, a good chunk of your prospects for retirement because…

They’re not demanding the victim’s families pay the legal cost. They’re demanding the people who initiated an unreasonable lawsuit against them pay the cost of that lawsuit.

I can understand the thinking, but if it’s a staggering amount of money, then it’s pretty unreasonable for the theater to bear the entire cost of it, isn’t it? They didn’t do anything wrong and they’re out nearly three-quarters of a million dollars.

As the story notes, it is a tactic to keep the plaintiffs from appealing. I see it all the time. The plaintiffs will agree to not appeal, and the claim for fees and costs will be dismissed. And, yeah, you should if you are out 700K for a frivolous claim. I see people all the time bitch about what a sue-happy society…

If the FDA would like to recommend a better way to eat my feelings I’d love to hear it.

I guess Nick had no response to Iggy’s claims, showing what Lakers fans knew all along, dude can’t play defense.

No, you should not. Those ungrateful bastards don’t appreciate or deserve it.

I’m sure we’re supposed to be all “wah wah poor widdle millionaires” but hot damn if I wouldn’t also be fed up with that crap. 8:30 AM is a perfectly reasonable time to start construction work. 6 GODDAMN AM IS NOT.

An abortion is an abortion. Full stop. “What kind” she had absolutely doesn’t matter—the implication that it does means that some women’s abortions are more OK than others’. Is that what you mean?

the woman literally emailed me right after the story went up to say “i’m glad you told that commenter to fuck off”

THIS. When I was younger, still living at home with my conservative parents, I took a political science class at the local college. We had weekly debates, and for the reproductive rights debate, I took the anti-abortion side, because that’s what I believed. The professor asked if I thought abortion was murder and…

I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.

fuck off

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

Jesus Christ who said anything about partners, for fucks sake? Can’t a woman just ride the dick for a minute and go?

Jesus you use a lot of commas.

Remember, he’s not an athlete who made a mistake: he’s a criminal who can swim.
