Solice Kirsk posted:Do you think if they ran prosecutors kind of like jury duty/the draft would work better? Like any lawyer licensed to practice in the state could be called up for one year of state prosecutor service. Abolishing prosecutorial immunity and the qualified immunity cops get would probably help. Qualified immunity was invented by the courts in I think the 60s.

I was thinking of this case the other day and couldn't remember her name. On top of everything else not letting her initial rapist's name out is insane. Don't give a gently caress that he was 15.

"We never ruled in the past that this violates the Fourth Amendment so you can't sue" is a bizarre circular argument. You got a case right in front of you in which you can decide that.

This video goes into his case in more depth. His videos made it clear something was going wrong with him for a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlAQ_imjL9c The first of his gun videos shown has him practicing with a gun one of the Columbine shooters used (a Hi-Point carbine).

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:For what it's worth that was the series that pretty much killed "Hong Kong Henry" and it's definitely a lovely one that most fans would tell you to just skip. I don't exactly have an excel sheet, but I'm pretty sure he only did the wacky racist accent bit a few times after that and he seemed to accept why it was bad. Trump getting elected dropped the last bits of edgelord from him and he's gotten a little more serious. I wouldn't listen if he was still trying to die on that hill. Like I said, I get it if anyone checked out though, it's an embarrassing thing and a caveat they put on their own backlog. His Israel Keyes laugh was obnoxiously overplayed. Racism wasn't my only issue - it's that he ran every bit into the ground in the handful of episodes I listened to.

If you read about enough of these guys it's sadly a common thread. They'll have tons of assaults in their past with a slap on the wrist or relatively short sentences (or get released early from longer sentences).

It doesn't go into the financial issues the family had. It;s disappointing the same way the Challenger series was - it doesn't go into the full story (how the gently caress do you do a multi-part series on the Challenger and not go into what happened to the astronauts????).

I didn't bring up the missing economic information in the Watts murders because I thought they were "killed by capitalism" it was because it's a huge part of the story that was left out. It's why I compared it to the Challenger four-part series which somehow with multiple episodes did not go over what happened to the astronauts despite that being a thing most people don't know about.Dewgy posted:They took the sweet drum track out of the intro theme and for that alone it’s a steaming pile of hot bullshit. There was no way the series could've ever been "good" since Stack is dead but making a lesser remix of the original theme and then not making it anything like the original series at all doesn't help.

Pirate Radar posted:I don't think the comparison of "there were other reasons this happened" to "here are the details of how these people died, exactly" holds. They didn't need to go into the gory details but go into the fact they survived the initial disintegration is important. The fact there was no "out" for the astronauts in the case of such a failure where the crew cabin survived a disintegration is pretty important. poo poo the documentary went into the gory details of the state of the bodies when they found the crew cabin. Also weird to think "yeah it's ok for people to be ignorant of what actually happened even after watching our series"

It shouldn't be funny but I had to laugh at the clip from Dan Olson's Q video where some guy kidnapped his kids and got in a high speed chase that he livestreamed on Facebook begging for Q to help and he couldn't pronounce "QAnon" right. I guess I assumed everyone that into an insane thing would realize how to say it right at least.

He owned a revolver (found in his vehicle) of the same kind as the murder weapon. It was proven to be the murder weapon after it was test-fired by investigators. The man was located but was not charged because insufficient evidence existed to file charges against this individual with the murders.
