My understanding is that lawyers aren’t just allowed to drop clients willy nilly. There have to be valid reasons. Typically those reasons are

“I am not a lawyer, but I would think if three defense attorneys suddenly don’t want to defend a client any longer — especially in a high stakes case such as this — that could be an indication that an anvil is about to drop on someone’s head.”

Or release the report this week and, thinking ahead, try to get some NFL player who’s going to show up for media week to champion the whole thing.

So, did jezebel send a reporter to cover the report? If not, your beef seems kinda petty. it’s pretty ridiculous to expect local media to ignore THE major sporting event occurring in the city. Especially since a super bowl hasn’t happened there in over 20 years.

The violence these victims faced is heartbreaking, their deaths are tragic. I don’t want to take away from that.

Yup. I object to this line:

Same. I don’t always want to talk and sometimes my friends are talking about stuff I don’t care about or can’t relate to (many of my friends are women so tuning out when they talk about their lady business is a life saver). Being able to look up at a non-close captioned airing of Blade Runner or The Warriors lets me…

Thank you for concisely and correctly stating the counter-point. No sports bar has good food, and they are terrible places to watch sports.

Counterpoint: Sports bars are actually awful places to watch sports, and I routinely go to non-sports bars to watch sports in peace and quiet whilst eating food and drinking beer.

“It’s like I’m living a movie,” Mr. Smith said, when asked for comment.

South Carolina certainly didn’t feel this interested in standing for the US flag a little over 150 years ago.

All of Trump’s Wives: He Cheats Like Hell.

If I could do that I wouldn’t leave the house.

I don’t think you can just ignore the well earned reputation Boston sports fans have as a contributing factor to what their local sports radio is.

Honestly Patrick I don’t know that you, or the article, make anything resembling a point, much less a good one. If the problem with taking out a loan to buy a car is that you end up paying monthly on an asset that depreciates, leasing a car is way worse because you don’t end up with an asset at all unless you buy out…

The premise of these kind of articles always involves some level of obtuseness from the writer, as if they are incapable of understanding why people might root or cheer for something, anything really. It’s a pretty basic emotion and feeling, and one has to go out of there way to claim they don’t understand this basic…

Hasn’t this type of article become cliche yet? I don’t understand why people get emotionally invested in X. Then oh wait I’ve found X to get emotionally invested it and now I understand that people are irrational and searching for any type of connection.

You don’t seem to understand ‘investing’ or ‘opportunity cost’

I ordered 9 things on amazon this weekend and i hope my city wins the amazon 2nd HQ. The biggest employer here pays no local property tax and was incentivized to build here. Then it brought 20k professional jobs to the area. This town has gone through a massive boom because of them and its a great city.
