A strange bit of tangential information: In Saudi Arabia, the land of an eye for an eye, the family of a murdered person can appear in court on the first day of the trial and make a statement in which they forgive the murderer and the trial will cease that day, and the murderer will walk out free and clear.

I’ve read several articles now that list details from the police report. According to the report, she refused to bow to him, which triggered the attack. He beat and choked her into unconsciousness and, thinking she was dead, he went back to eating his dinner. When she regained consciousness and ran to lock herself in…
When asked about whether or not Wheeler’s choice to stop his medication should play any role in the legal process, Starr’s answer was complicated. “It’s not useful when talking about domestic violence to try and obsess about one specific thing,” she said. “It doesn’t change what happened to this woman and it doesn’t…
Yes. I saw an interview with a woman trying to come to grips with the fact that while her father was a horrible (literal) Nazi, he was also a kind, generous, doting father, which was the only side of him she ever saw growing up.
While this is true, I think we also need to let go of the idea that the good/kind actions of abusers are all simply part of a veneer crafted with the intention to deceive. I think setting up that caricature of predators help contribute to people’s disbelief of victims because under that paradigm, they have to believe…
That’s exactly right, and well said.
This is a really interesting approach and it makes so much sense. The unspoken truth here is that so much shopping happens just because people feel lonely, bored, or a little bit down and feel like they need a little pick-me-up. If you make your life more interesting and satisfying, you don’t need so much of that. For…
Jameela is absolutely right and I’m glad someone with a platform is calling this shit out.
They are marketed aggressively to black women. Advertised as “Flat Tummy Tea” because society’s beauty standard for black women is the ridiculously impossible combo of thin waists with large behinds. JJ is giving too much credit to KK here. The Klan knows fully well they achieved their proportions with an army of…
I am so sorry about your dad. My dad passed at the beginning of the year, and it has been absolute hell. My husband’s been aware of the hell, but it’s still fucking hell.
Same. Schneider is just fucking gross. And if he’s the primary reason Amanda Bynes dropped off the map I’ll be even MORE PISSED.
I’ve been waiting for the pedos to get called out. Hopefully, Dan Schneider is after Singer.
Miller was in her life for much longer than Davidson, Miller was there for her through the horror of the bombing and the concert after it....not to mention what I’m sure she went through trying to help him cope with his addiction. I suspect, like a lot of people, she didn’t break up with him because she didn’t love…
I love that picture. The Obama’s more so than almost any other public couple seemed to have a real and generally happy marriage. I loved that they seemed to show genuine affection for each other while acknowledging that marriage takes work and that they don’t always agree on everything.
“If Obama can listen to songs with the N word, how come Trump can’t say it?”- says everyone on Fox News
Not for nothing, but this is probably my favourite Barack/Michelle photograph. It was taken during their final state dinner, and I would pay good money to know what Barack said approximately five seconds before this picture was taken, because he looks pleased as hell with himself for having said it, but Michelle…
Damn, I heard she had relapsed. Overdoses are common when someone relapses because they do as much heroine as before they got sober, but their bodies can't handle it. Hope she pulls through.
I find it interesting that he’s apparently not claiming to have believed she was 16 - he’s claiming to have believed she was “at least 16,” suggesting that he didn’t actually ask or have any basis for that belief.
AGREED - and one of this guy’s friends wrote to the judge saying he was a good person, the type who smiled a lot etc... Yo, one action does not predict another. You can be a “good person”/neighbour/colleague/family man and still be a murderer. Not every criminal is a creepy looking dude who reminds you of Donald…
