Brandon Vandenburg! 17 years for orchestrating the gang rape of his girlfriend. Every once in a while, a judge gets it right.

I will never, NEVER get over those Bundy assholes getting off Scott-free. They took government land and held it under threat of violence, and didnt even get a slap on the wrist. If others do the same (or worse) in the future than the government has only themselves to blame for the precedent they set.
It’s been interesting watching Twitter after the press conference. All the reporters are talking about the Russia Hacks or the fainting episode or anything but the two solid minutes where Obama lambasted them for running with the hacked email narrative for 6 months then wondering why it was such a big deal.
City inspectors haven’t been able to get access to the building. A faulty fridge does not usually mean 30+ people dead. Those people were trapped and killed because they were in a labyrinth of flammable junk that obstructed walkways, doors, and windows.

Of course it was able to convince the majority of people…
“I’m not excited about passing the buck to this handwavy notion of “awareness” when the problems we are facing are so clearly institutional.”
We need to make a parody video of this PSA but it’s a series of shots of people being outraged about Trumps latest tweets and at the end it’s “While you were busy paying attention to the latest twitter outrage, Trump was in the background getting away with shady shit” and you see him in the background shredding his…
You know....I don’t think I love this. Who is this aimed toward — teachers? Do we think teachers don’t try to intervene with troubled kids? Students? There were students interacting with this kid, and anyway, asking students to police the behavior of “creepy loner weirdos” is how you get bullying. (And I mean, say you…
